Reflections from the Rector's Desk Reflections from the Rector’s Desk 25 August 2014 Dear Parents, Old Greys and Friends As we enter the 6th week of this busy term, allow me to reflect on some of the many and varied activities that have taken place – and also on some of the heart-sore and successes experienced by The Grey Family. At this time we also wish our Matrics of 2014 everything of the best as they prepare for their Trial Examinations which commence on Thursday 28 August. MR VAUGHAN JONES The Grey Family was devastated when hearing of the sudden passing of colleague, school master and friend, Mr Vaughan Jones – this on Tuesday 29 July while out surfing off Pollock Beach. Our sincere condolences are extended to Jill, Brynn, Rory, Murray and the extended family. The support and outpouring of affection from Parents, Old Greys and our Grey Men has been incredible – thank you, ALL. We are indeed a united, caring and very special Grey Family! ACADEMIC MATTERS Our important mid-year examinations progressed without any hitches – many thanks to Parents who made time to engage with staff at our Teacher-Parent Meetings held on Tuesday and Wednesday 22/23 July – this to discuss the academic and general progress of your sons. This is always a useful exercise for those parents who do attend.

Mrs Tilette Roelofse will be assisting us in the Afrikaans Department during their absence. CADET DAY AND RETREAT PARADE – TUESDAY 12 AUGUST A successful Cadet Day and Retreat Parade took place recently on the Pollock – many thanks to National President of our Old Greys, Mr Bryan Knox, for taking the ‘Salute’. Congratulations to our Cadets who certainly ‘raised the bar’ and performed an excellent Retreat Parade – this under the beady eye of Officer Commanding, Maj Steve van Niekerk, who is commended for all his arrangements. Full praise to Lt Anton Scholtz for commanding the parade and to SSO, Johann van Niekerk, and his Troops. Our Military Band was in ‘top-form’ – well done to Mr Shawn Lyon and his men. Congratulations to our newly- appointed rank bearers who were announced on the day. ‘LEGALLY BLONDE’ – COLLEGIATE MUSICAL: 12-16 AUGUST Congratulations to our Sister School and to all involved on their outstanding production of ‘Legally Blonde’ – take a well-deserved bow! We were particularly proud of a number of our Grey men who also appeared in the cast and who certainly delivered excellent performances! Well done! OLD GREY FELLOWSHIP – LONDON – WEDNESDAY 9 JULY It was an absolute pleasure and privilege, during the mid-year break, to meet with Old Greys in Wimbledon and to provide them with Grey News, while experiencing some good fellowship and camaraderie. I also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of meeting with the East London Old Greys on Friday 15 August – this in the Grens High School Pavilion. We will be meeting with our Johannesburg Branch on Thursday 4 September. MUSIC – COMBINED CONCERT WITH SELBORNE COLLEGE – THURSDAY 14 AUGUST This was an evening to be remembered – our annual combined Music Concert with our counterparts from Selborne College – and what a magnificent evening it turned out to be. Our Musicians – the Grey Voices, The Strings, the Wind Band and Orchestra – were all outstanding and one could not help but ‘swell’ with pride! Reflections from the Rector’s Desk 2014-08-25 Page 5 of 12 Congratulations to our Director of Music, Mr Shawn Lyon, our Music Staff and all Musicians – you continue to do us proud! Our men were also invited to take part in the annual Bands Festival hosted by Herbert Hurd – this on Saturday 23 August. Here, again, our Musicians completed the evening in great style, displaying to the young participating musicians, together with their parents, what can be achieved - a great PR exercise for The Grey! COKE AND QUAD RACES AND ‘BODA-DAYPOT’ FESTIVITIES – FRIDAY 22 AUGUST Great fun was experienced during the annual ‘Coke and Quad’ Races – thanks to all parents and friends for your support. The ‘Boda-Daypot’ clashes in Hockey and Rugby are always fiercely contested encounters and, this year, both ended in draws – certainly ensuring continued fine ‘harmony’ between our ‘Bodas’ and ‘Daypots’! Boarder Parents then assembled for their annual braai and fellowship outside Meriway House which was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance. EP REPRESENTATION – PROVINCIAL TOURNAMENTS A good number of our Grey men were selected to Provincial Teams to participate in Tournaments during the school holidays. Congratulations to them for being fine ambassadors for their School and for their Province. Our U14A EP Hockey side (7 Grey representatives), coached by Mr Greg Thomson, made it into the final at their Interprovincial final, where they went down to Western Province. We were particularly proud of our EP Craven Week Team in which Grey also had no fewer than 7 representatives. In the finals they emerged as worthy winners – this for the first time since 1977! Congratulations to Johann van Niekerk (Skipper) and his Team! 3 of our men were selected to the ‘Squad of 50’ and were invited to attended further trials in Gauteng – Keanu Vers, Curwin Bosch and Junior Pokomela were, subsequently, deservedly selected to the SA U18 squad. GREY HIGH vs GREY COLLEGE DERBY ENCOUNTER – 1 & 2 AUGUST Who will forget our recent Home Derby against Grey College? After a week which was an emotional ‘roller-coaster ride’ for The Grey, the weekend finished in great style with a 27-20 victory over our rivals from Reflections from the Rector’s Desk Page 6 of 12 2014-08-25 Bloemfontein. Added to this, were fine victories by our 2nds over their ‘Cherries’, together with good wins by our 15A’s and B’s. Our 1st Hockey X1 also secured a 3-2 victory with only 2 recorded losses in this sport for Grey High! Many thanks to Director of Sport, Mr Neil Bielby, and to so many who were involved in the organisation of this occasion. We enjoyed massive support with a huge crowd in attendance! We witnessed great displays of sheer commitment, character and determination. Our Cheerleaders certainly deserve praise – our Supporters’ Stand was spectacular! A great ‘touch’ was also Dr Russell Mitchell ‘piping’ our 1st XV onto the battlefield! FARMERS’ MARKET – FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 1-2 AUGUST Our ‘Boda’ Parents worked extremely hard in staging an even bigger and better Farmers’ Market than before – Mr Niekerk Ferreira, Mrs Ingrid Ferreira, all convenors and Parents are thanked and praised for embarking on this massive undertaking.

  • 9 March 2018 St Andrew’S COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent
    Newsletter Term 1 #7 9 March 2018 St Andrew’s COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent To the Andrean Community Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point. Pat Summitt As I write this newsletter I am in the Highlander, looking over that most beautiful of school sights, Lower Field, emerald green after the blessing of lots of soaking rain in Grahamstown, with the early preparations underway for a feast of weekend cricket against Grey. It is a beautiful late summer morning, and as I savour my pot of tea, the wonderful cricket-y scene below is betrayed by the slight fatigue evident in the leaves, the slight nip in the air, and the pale blue of an increasingly distant sky. These are all signs that soon the seasons will have turned. The posts will be up, and the voices of Andreans everywhere will be echoing across Grahamstown as the Blues run out to represent us all in another display of great rugby. We look forward to another cracker of a winter sports season, not just in rugby, and not just at top-team levels. St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent 9 March 2018 Across every age group and team we expect our boys again to be playing with that characteristic College grit and extraordinary commitment, carrying the ethos of nec aspera terrent in their hearts wherever they go. And although winning is always great and we never intend to lose, winning is not everything.

At «ja;,.?>s t Kearsney College Chronicle JULY, 1965 Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 6 No. 1 Juij^ 1965 EDITORIAL We are a very young school, even by South African standards. By comparison with the schools of England, we are only just hatched. But, quite humbly, we wonder whether any other Public or Private boarding school has grown and matured quite as quickly as we have. In a mere 44 years we have grown from 11, housed in a private mansion, to 460, with (as all will agree) buildings and grounds hardly surpassed in the country. In the 25 years at Botha's Hill we have increased by 350, and the original bleak and bare setting can now scarcely be visualised. There is no boasting in this. We are quite convinced that this school was needed, and that throughout its development the hand of Providence has been at work. The early private venture was not allowed to disintegrate, although at one stage faith and sacrifice was needed to save the school from dying. But it was willed that we should survive, and that our faith should be justified. So we see our young life now divided into three parts. There was the period of foundation, under the right Headmaster; a humble unambitious period m which stress was unostentatiously laid on those things which matter: tome, character, humility, tremendous loyalty from those who loved their school. When these foundations were well and truly laid, there followed the second stage, again under the right Headmaster: one of bricks and mortar, a physical develop ment, one which saw us grow and grow, in numbers and influence, until we could regard ourselves as a school which was making a real impact upon the wider community.

    Term 2 #14 24 May 2019 NewsletterCollege St Andrew’s College To the Andrean Community One of the lesser known ‘beautiful spaces’ at College is a large frangipani tree that grows alongside the north eastern buttress of the Chapel. It is a most beautiful tree, basking in the morning sun, protected by the strong Chapel walls - that “What is a farm but a mute when the cold winds blow it is able to stand firm, not in its own strength, but in gospel?”. the shelter that the Chapel provides. - Ralph Waldo Emerson It is old enough that its roots are deeply planted, that when rains are generous it is able to drink deeply, but in dry times the deep water will sustain it. On the surface it always faces the new morning sun with optimism. Below the surface its roots prepare for the reality that with good days come bad, and it knows to always enjoy the former but to do so in the knowledge that those days of growth will prepare it for the long days of challenge. Inherent in understanding that is the knowledge that, as inevitable as the tough times are, they are transient, for we are made to grow and flourish. Nec Aspera Terrent St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent WEEK AT A GLANCE The flowers of a frangipani have a beautiful ‘tropical island’ simplicity to them. No fancy stigmas and stamens here, just a simple, well textured flower that beams Friday 24 May: its beauty and somehow understands its most exquisite aroma.

The only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.” [Henry Ford to reporter Charles N Wheeler, Chicago Tribune 1916] Some years ago, Raymond Ackerman delivered a speech where he remarked that the job of schools was the same as that of families to give our sons ‘roots and wings.’ The history and traditions of those who have gone before us should be a source of inspiration, encouragement and motivation to those who currently carry the torch.
