It has become a mark of the Mich- aelhouse staff that families operate happily as teams in their contribution to the School and this must apply to the Kirstens more than most. Megan was born here, Craig attended the School, Gary often assisted his father in an honorary capacity, Yvonne served in practically everything from the Tuck Shop, through the bookkeeping offices, to the vital post of Matron, and it should be remembered that Vincent took over from two men when he came and was replaced by at least two men when he left. The presence of ladies on the administrative side of a boys' boarding school is essential, and the motherly treatment meted out by Yvonne, especi- ally as Matron, but in other spheres as well, to boys of all sorts and conditions, without exception, had the right touch of womanly know-how to comfort the lost and lonely, chide the careless, encourage the meticulous and the good, correct the bad - in no uncertain terms - and make the indifferent care. Quite apart from the combined posts of Works Man- ager and Carpentry Instructor, which Vincent took over from Ray Byrne and Bernard McGee, at least eight houses were built at the School while Vincent was in charge; something like five houses had ma- jor reconstructions, being almost rebuilt; the Schle- singer Theatre was built, although this was done by outside contractors; borehole/water, electrical and waste systems were altered or extended, and two dams were constructed. Add that to the normal day- to-day maintenance and alteration, and Vincent completed a monumental task. While he was not in- clined to suffer fools gladly he fulfilled all this with cheerfulness and efficiency. Many boys will remem- ber, from his example, teaching and correction the best ways to cut mortises and tenons. Many staff will remember his willingness to come out on a cold, snowy night to fix, in his magical way, fuses, wires or pipes. The Michaelhouse community - staff, boys and the institution itself-will miss all the Kirstens greatly. They are happily settled at St Charles' College in Pietermaritzburg, ETIENNE AND MONICA DE VILLIERS During his first year at Rhodes University, Etienne was well looked after by two senior students. One was an Old Andrean, the other an Old Michael- housian. When he expressed an interest in the tea- ching profession, both senior friends suggested that Etienne should teach at their old schools.

    Newsletter #4 October 2019 Dear Old Boys Even in the relative quiet of the Balgowan Valley we are amazed that the end of the year is almost on us. Just a few weeks until the boys pack their laughter and lively noise into cars and buses, leaving silent cloisters in their wake. It has been a full and eventful year at Michaelhouse and we have enjoyed recording the more recent Old Boy happenings in this newsletter. Ryan Thomson is our past Senior Prefect featured in this edition. The solar cooker, which Ryan developed during his engineering studies may well become one of my retirement projects! Robbie Leggat is completing the St Michael Statue commissioned by Graham McIntosh, which will soon be a prominent feature at the front of school. Christian Botha returned to school to open the Matric Art Exhibition and inspire our current art students. A few more old boys who are leading schools and making a difference to the lives of young people in classrooms around the world, have found their way onto these pages, as has Simon d ’Aubrey, making his name on agriculture. Storm Green has made the queen’s birthday honours list and Tim Harkness met James Fleming at the Elite Sport Summit Conference in Cape town, where he provided new insights into the psychology of success in sport. Old Boys continue to excel on the rivers, on their bikes and on the sports fields globally, performing well in the Berg and Bush, Amashova, Fish River Marathon and on the rugby field in Ireland. Joshin Raghubar is a John McNulty Prize laureate for his work in IT and the Midlands Branch managed to entice Keith Begg to Fordoun where he shared his inspirational life work in wildlife filming and, more recently, community-based conservation in Niassa.

  • Part15 HIA Loftus Northern Sports Fields
    CULTMATRIX 4. HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT 4.1 Approach 4.1.1 Definitions and assumptions The following aspects have a direct bearing on the investigation and the resulting report: • Cultural (heritage) resources are all non-physical and physical human-made occurrences, as well as natural occurrences that are associated with human activity. These include all sites, structures and artefacts of importance, either individually or in groups, in the history, architecture and archaeology of human (cultural) development. • The cultural significance of sites and artefacts is determined by means of their historical, social, aesthetic, technological and scientific value in relation to their uniqueness, condition of preservation and research potential. It must be kept in mind that the various aspects are not mutually exclusive, and that the evaluation of any site is done with reference to any number of these. • The value is related to concepts such as worth, merit, attraction or appeal, concepts that are associated with the (current) usefulness and condition of a place or an object. Hence, in the development area, there are instances where elements of the place have a high level of significance but a lower level of value. • It must be kept in mind that significance and value are not mutually exclusive, and that the evaluation of any feature is based on a combination or balance between the two. • Isolated occurrences: findings of artefacts or other remains located apart from archaeological sites. Although these are noted and samples are collected, it is not used in impact assessment and therefore do not feature in the report. • Traditional cultural use: resources which are culturally important to people.

  • P. Nongogo‟S Report: the Olympic Movement and South Africa
    P. NONGOGO‟S REPORT: THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT AND SOUTH AFRICA The Effect of Sport Boycott and Social Change in South Africa: A Historical Perspective, 1955-2005 Abstract This study examines the effect of sport boycott in South Africa; a country with a long history of racial discrimination. The struggle for political freedoms and all-inclusive-and-non-racial sport was intertwined. The former colonial power and major investor, Britain was strategic to-and-targeted for black people‟s diplomatic efforts after the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910. By 1940s, however, a comprehensive campaign against apartheid was undertaken by the Africa National Congress and Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM). The oppressed majority‟s hope for-and-focus on British support had shifted to the United Nations and newly-independent African states. Non-racial sport movement approached the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Federations. South Africa‟s official participation in the Olympic Games between 1908 and 1960; racially discriminated against blacks sportspersons and resistance to this was observed in the mid-1940s. Radical struggle was, however, started in the 1950s; illustrated by the emergence of AAM and sport boycott campaigns. These campaigns were continued until controversially abandoned in the early 1990s, paving way for South Africa‟s re-admission into the Olympic family in 1992. This literature study utilized the IOC Archives. It sought to analyse the effect of sport boycott in South Africa and social change thereof, in relation to the IOC‟s attitude, response and actions towards apartheid sport in contrast to that of the non-racial sport proponents.

In South Africa, the tour was expected to reopen the doors to international competition for the Springboks after an anti-apartheid sporting boycott had forced the sport into relative isolation during the 1970s. In the face of much international condemnation, the Springboks toured to New Zealand and the USA in 1981 where they encountered large and often violent demonstrations as those who opposed the tour attempted to scuttle it.

  • Transport Guidelines to Parents
    09 February 2021 Dear Parents TRAVEL AT MICHAELHOUSE Departure Guidelines In selecting Michaelhouse as your son’s school, parents not living in the vicinity of the school accept the fact that travel is necessary and will mean that some boys get home just a few hours later than others. I write to you in this regard as requests for early departures put the Housemaster in a difficult position and, while we do not want to be unreasonable, equally we need to be proactive in guarding the time needed for all the facets of a Michaelhouse education. We therefore appeal to parents to be thoughtful and considered around departure times. If leaving early is a necessity from a logistical perspective, the school will do what it can to accommodate this. Requests out of convenience cannot, however, in most cases, be accommodated. Please direct all requests for early departure to your son’s Housemaster. Concessions will be considered under the following circumstances: • Connecting flights for international travel require a boy to depart early • Flights to the airport closest to a boy’s home are extremely limited and returning home would not be viable if the school was not prepared to accommodate this. • Parents are present at a school-sanctioned function and it would not be logical or feasible to make two time-consuming trips to pick up their son. The pre-requisites for this concession would be that it does not compromise a boy’s other school commitments and the departure time is after the school sanctioned event. Boys cannot get lifts home with other boy’s parents in these instances.

  • Chronicle for 1955
    r- -J-SM: KEARSNEY j. COLLEGE CHRONICLE O#?PE o\t^ ■im July, 1955 '. "sy KEARSNEY COLLEGE CHRONICLE WPE D\^ July, 1955 m m M ipt m A / m 8® © w SCHOOL LAYOUT, INCLUDING PEMBROKE HOUSE. Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 4, No. I July, 1955 ON SCHOOL MAGAZINES I think It will be generally agreed that, except for those most intimately concerned, School Magazines would not be classified among the "best sellers". They contain none of the features which attract the common herd, not even a bathing beauty on the cover (though it's an idea). Their interest-value is very local; to the outsider, the lists of event-winners or prize-winners have the monotony of a telephone directory, and does it really matter whether we won the match or lost it? Only to those most closely concerned does it matter. What, Magazine Reader, do you look for? Let's be honest. Yes, of course. You turn over hastily to those places where your own name is likely to appear: your own name, gold-embroidered, standing there for everyone to see, if it were not for the fact that they are too busy looking for their own names. That done, what else is there of interest?
