    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.

  • Reflections from the Rector's Desk
    Reflections from the Rector’s Desk Dear Parents, Old Greys and Friends of The Grey We are experiencing an ‘action-packed’ start to 2015! Best wishes to all members of The Grey Family for a successful, happy and healthy year. May all we do continue to be in the best interests of The Grey and those we serve. This is also our School Governing Body election year – and we will need to find some additional, suitable candidates amongst our Parent Body to fill a number of vacancies. Many thanks to those who have already expressed an interest and who have made themselves available. MR DIETER PAKENDORF – RECTOR : 1977 – 1992 Our esteemed former Rector passed away on Thursday 12 February. His funeral was held on Wednesday 18 February in the Lutheran Church, Cape Town City centre. Dieter’s incredible support and love for his school continued long after his retirement – and this with his good wife, Maureen, as ever, at his side. And so it is hugely fitting that his ashes be interred in the wall of the Memorial Quad alongside former Rectors of The Grey – this to be done in May, before our Friday Reunion Assembly, and in the presence of the School, members of the Family and all assembled Old Greys and Friends. The numerous tributes which have poured in from Old Greys all over the world bear ample testimony to the fact that he made a massive impact on a generation of Grey boys and that his masterful hand guided many to success. MATRIC RESULTS 2014 We were generally very happy with the academic performance of last year’s Matrics.

  • From Our Office the Well-Known Farmer's Weekly Columnist Peter Hughes Was Quoted in a Recent Issue Urging the Readership
    From our Office The well-known Farmer’s Weekly columnist Peter Hughes was quoted in a recent issue urging the readership “to emerge from this festive season in a positive frame of mind, and spread that optimism liberally around you” We would like to possibly put a variation on Hughes’s constructive advice. Dare we say that we have all emerged from under the dark clouds that have hung over us in our country. We do not need to look back and relive these times. We live in a great country and let us be thankful that we attended a great school. Let us help where we can and not always assume that all is well. The Grey schools need your support in whichever way you may be able to assist. Do a reality check perhaps on yourself and drive past a disadvantaged school. There is a high school off Heugh Road near the entrance to the Walmer Township and in driving past we need to consider the conditions under which those pupils receive an education. For every deserving disadvantaged boy that we can bring to Grey to offer a Grey education we are making a difference not only to that young lad but also to his entire family. It is a huge uplifting experience for all concerned. Be part of it and answer the call. This is one of the objectives of the Grey Foundation and we welcome your support. The Old Greys’ Reunion Weekend – 9 to 11 May, 2018 Here is the official programme. Please follow these links to view all the events of the week and to make your payments .

    TransDale Extra May 2012 No 27. May, 2012 TransDale Extra CAPE to CAIRO - by bike Three farmers and a Greek --- two Old Dalians and two friends --- travel a hard way OLD DALIAN farmer Richard Bennett was sitting in his bakkie, waiting for his staff to gather a flock of sheep, when he received a phone call from his friend Old Dalian Stelios Georgiou. They were having a relaxed conversation, talking about business and why life is such a race. Stelios mentioned to Richard how he al- ways dreamed of riding into his home town in Cyprus on a motorbike, from Fort Beaufort. Richard responded and said he often thought about a similar trip through Africa from the southern-most tip to the most northern tip. He had recently watched the DVD of Charlie Borman and Ewin McGregor with their epic journey on the long way down Africa. Both went quiet for a moment, then Richard said: “Swaer, we must do it!” A few days later Richard saw a friend, Rufus Dreyer, at a braai and told him about his dream. With big eyes, Rufus said he would be in, if given half an opportunity, not realising the consequences. Richard, very excited, could not wait to phone his good friend Norman Em- slie, who immediately showed To Page 2 ADVENTURERS Richard Bennett (left), Stelios Georgiou and Rufus Dreyer THE GREEK: A passion for biking THE FARMER: No biker, but ready to ride STELIOS GEORGIOU (42), Dale matric 1987, First XV 1985 - RICHARD BENNETT (50), Dale matric 1979, is a sheep and cattle 87, co-owns a family Spar in Fort Beaufort with his brother farmer near Adelaide in the Eastern Cape.

    From our Office. Bev McCarthy has recently joined The Grey Foundation in the position of Fundraising Coordinator. Bev was the Campaign Coordinator at St Andrew’s College in Grahamstown for 15 years, having worked on their R42m Jubilee 150 campaign and subsequent R50m Academic Excellence campaign. Prior to this, Bev was the Foundations & Trusts Manager at Rhodes University’s Development Division for 5 years.

She has a passion for education and considers herself a change agent when it comes to improving systems, processes and relationships with stakeholders. She is able to do extensive research and develop fundraising and communications plans according to strategic objectives. Her high standard of professionalism and strong analytical skills enable her to build The Grey Foundation into a sustainable and dependable source of alternative income for The Grey Schools. “I am delighted to join the Grey family and look forward to building relationships with all benefactors and stakeholders. It is imperative that outstanding schools such as Grey are supported by their communities in a way that not only allows the school to continue its level of excellence, but to enable the school to produce well-rounded young men who can make a difference in the world. The school motto ‘Tria Juncta in Uno’ fittingly encapsulates this vision” – Bev McCarthy We wish Bev well. This is just the thing we have needed to raise the bar at the Grey Foundation. She will be totally dedicated to the task and we call upon all Old Greys to whole heartedly support her efforts.
