Athletes participating in a relay event at the Hirsch, Edwards and Gunn Shield Athletics Championships

To the Andrean Community

The human survival instinct is a most powerful thing. As a dying man clings to the spark of life against seemingly overwhelming odds, so too the last vestiges of winter oppress the Grahamstown air in defiance of the spring blossoms and bursting greens everywhere.

Except for last Saturday, that is. For Saturday dawned as perfect a spring day as is possible. The air clear and filled with morning optimism, gently massaged by a warm sun and the gentlest of breezes. When the weather is good in Grahamstown, I have discovered, it is idyllic.

Lower field beamed its green-ness and exuded the energy of gentle anticipation as athletes prepared and officials fussed about ahead of the start of the 2016 Hirsch Shield athletics tournament. In a world filled with more glamorous sports, and where winter and summer sports seasons march mercilessly together squeezing the athletics season in a suffocating grip, it may be argued that things like the Hirsch Shield are relics of the past, no longer compelling enough to hold our 90 minute concentration spans and not as important as the ‘proper’ sports.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The day was an absolute showpiece of athletic competition, where the sport was outstanding but the atmosphere sublime. A truly diverse range of Eastern Cape schools came together in a celebration of

NEC ASPERA TERRENT Ross Ferguson in the open long jump sport and true sportsmanship. The competition was fierce, but the pseudo rivalries pleasantly absent. Mr Sammy Gunn, doyen of the Hirsch Shield summed things up perfectly – “This is as good as it gets.”

It is days like this that make me realise the true honour of working in a school environment. For while many grapple with some really pressing real life contemporary issues we get a glimpse of the characters that will form the future, and an opportunity to work with them in its shaping. As I looked out over Lower (admittedly, at an incomplete cross section of that future), I had a very real sense that, although we live in fractious times, we are reaping today at a macro-political level the consequences of the past. I have seen the future, though, and it is very bright indeed!

We have good people here working hard and in good faith with each other. By awakening our mind-space and having courageous conversations with each other we have all that we need to ensure that our beloved College thrives and flourishes in the future as an example of true brotherhood.

“I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good”. Maya Angelou

God Bless

Olympic rowers visit College

St Andrew’s College was honoured to host Old Andreans, James Thompson (Upper 2005) and Jake Green (Merriman 2012) this week. They addressed the pupils at assembly on Tuesday to share the story of their experiences and journey to becoming Olympic rowers. James Thompson is the most decorated South African rower and he told the boys how the dream was to get a back-to-back Gold at the Olympics after winning gold in the lightweight men’s coxless four in 2012 in London. He said that to lose the biggest race this year was hardest to stomach but that life is a journey, you are the journey and that one must enjoy each moment of each step. Four years ago Jake Green was a Matric pupil at College and he spoke of his experience in reaching his dream of participating in the Olympics. He rowed in the 2016 Olympics in James Thompson enjoys a bit of rowing in the ergo room Rio earlier this year. The SA team finished in fourth place. Jake said that after his Olympic experience he is filled with a hunger and self-belief that he can become the best in the world. “You must take confidence in the experiences that you go through, St Andrew’s is a school of champions, and it is reflected in our motto,‘Nec Aspera Terrent’.” They encouraged the boys to dream big and that maybe one day one of them would be visiting College to share their journey with the next generation of Andreans.

SA Maths Olympiad

The South African Mathematics Olympiad is the biggest Olympiad in the country, with more than 85 000 pupils participating this year.

At a recent provincial awards ceremony it was announced that the top second round performers in the Eastern Cape were both from College - Michael Velloza in the junior category and Nic Kroon in the senior category.

The top 100 juniors and top 100 seniors from Round 2 took part in the gruelling final round. Alex Pezarro joined Michael and Nic as the third College boy in this elite group.

Nic is no stranger to the final round of the Olympiad having received a silver medal for placing in the top 10 every year since he was Nic Kroon the overall winner of the senior category of the 2016 SA in Grade 8. This year things turned out slightly Maths Olympiad differently. At the SA Maths Foundation’s annual awards banquet held in Johannesburg last weekend, it was announced that Nic Kroon was the overall winner in the senior category of the 2016 SA Maths Olympiad.

This is a staggering achievement and to take top honours in his final year at College is a fitting finale to Nic’s extraordinary mathematical journey. In addition to a gold medal, the first place prize included a new iPad and R10 000 in cash.

Parent-Teacher Meeting

To accommodate the large number of parents who come to the Parent-Teacher meeting during Balloon Week, we have extended the time allocated by an hour.

Meetings with teachers will take place in the Centenary Hall, Arthur Cotton Design and Technology Centre and the Drill Hall at St Andrew’s College and can be arranged from 09h00 on Tuesday 11 October 2016.

We ask that as far as possible, parents whose children’s surnames begin with the letters A – L make bookings from 09h00 to 11h00, and those with the letters M – Z make bookings between 11h00 and 13h00. It is hoped that this system will allow you to see all your daughter’s teachers within two hours, rather than having bookings spread over four hours.

Further, we ask parents who are resident in Grahamstown to please make online bookings to see teachers a week later (after half-term) on Tuesday 18 October from 17h00 to 18h00 at DSG.

All online bookings will open on Monday 3 October at 08:00 and close on Thursday 6 October at 16:00.

Bookings for Grahamstown parents on 18 October will open and close at the same time. However these bookings should be made for the evening set up as “Locally Resident Parents”

NEC ASPERA TERRENT Wild Things celebrated dance and music John Axe Arts Week 2016

The Annual Arts Week, subtitled MADD-ness, has arrived with a vengeance! The programme is choc-a-bloc full Music, Art, Dance and Drama.

WILD THINGS

It all began with a packed Monument Theatre on Friday night. The audience were treated to a veritable smorgasbord of dancing! With various subtitles such as Mother Earth or Germination or Materialism/Consumerism or Ego vs Eco it was clear that the dancers were exploring the theme of the impact on our planet by humanity. Some of the dances were accompanied by live musicians such as the Chapel Choir, String Ensemble, Drumline and a Jazz singer plus trio, while most were performed to recorded music. The quality of dancing was exceptional and covered the whole spectrum of styles from classical ballet through to avant garde modern. It was a real tour de force for Kuschi Openshaw and her dance captain Gemma Kroon. The complete shooting match was repeated the next night (Saturday) again to another full house!

A NIGHT AT THE MOVIES

On Sunday evening, the Wind Orchestra presented a short but innovative concert of theme music from various films. There was music from a documentary about Shakers, Star Wars, Skyfall, Mission Impossible and Despicable Me. While the orchestra played, scenes from the films were projected onto the wall at the back of the stage. An added “decoration” was the addition of Alex Duckworth’s voice to the James Bond song. It was a thrilling concert presented to a standing-room-only audience. In fact the auditorium was so full that many music lovers stood outside and listened. Congratulations must go to the leaders, Liz Atkinson and Zak Schlebusch.

Inter-House Music competition

SAC INTER-HOUSE MUSIC COMPETITION

On Monday evening the boys of St Andrew’s College once again took to The Centenary Hall stage to astound their peers, staff and members of the public with yet another dazzling and intense Inter-house Music Competition. This event, organised by Mr Pretorius, is one of the biggest local attractions during the annual John Axe Arts Week. The hard work and many hours of dedicated rehearsals by the musicians of the six houses were in many cases as impressive as always.

The competition was fierce and the judges had a hard time choosing a winner in a programme of vast variety and musical styles. Apart from some stylish arrangements by Zuko Yaka from Merriman House and some excellent singing by Zadok Makani from Upper, it was Francis Christie and his Armstrong musicians that blew the judges away!

In the end Armstrong House was triumphant in their efforts and was awarded 1st place with Merriman House in 2nd and Upper House in 3rd place.

BANNED TOGETHER

At 1.30pm on Tuesday the Jazz and Pop musicians took to the stage in the DR Wynne Auditorium. First up was the very groovy Jazz Ensemble which impressed everybody with their sophisticated harmonies and tight ensemble playing. Probably the most interesting piece was a terminally-funky rendition of an original composition by their bandmaster, Mr Van Heerden, entitled Won by Gun. They were followed by the very stylish Contemporary Band, run by Mr Ellis, who presented a beautiful Red Hot Chilli Peppers tune followed by an excellent rendition of the great Led Zeppelin classic Stairway to Heaven. What was particularly impressive was the historically accurate guitar solo played by Francis Christie. More of this at Speech Day!

NEC ASPERA TERRENT HEAL THE WORLD

On Wednesday evening at 7pm in the Drill hall the Choirs of DSG and St Andrew’s College presented “Heal the World”, a colourful performance of modern popular music with live band accompaniment and interspersed with English and Afrikaans poetry read by students from the language departments. Songs such as Circle of Life (Elton John) and Heal the World (Michael Jackson) plus readings such Die Dans van die Reën (Eugene Marais) and Making Peace (Denise Levertov) combined very effectively to create and understanding of the theme. Everybody had great fun and a pumped up audience added to the wonderful atmosphere of the performance. The Choral Director, Mr Heynsen, was delighted by the enthusiastic audience participation in the final number We are the World by Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson. Cobwebs were blown from the rafters of the Drill Hall!

NEC ASPERA TERRENT String Ensemble “rush” music

STRING ENSEMBLE “RUSH” MUSIC

Somnambulant pupils returning from class on Thursday morning at break time, were woken up and given a bounce to their step by the excellent Ghoema performed by the Senior String Ensemble. A Ghoema is a traditional Cape Town dance which mixes together influences from many South African cultures, so it was an appropriate choice so near to Heritage Day. Some of the performers (and audience) were dressed in traditional costumes and together with some excellent hand drumming, they achieved the festival atmosphere that Ms Rennie was looking for.

Blood Donor Peer Promoters raise R2 500

2016 has been a good year for blood donation at St Andrew’s College and DSG. A strong peer promoter body came up with new ideas to inspire and motivate the senior boys and girls to start the good habit of putting the lives of others before their own comfort and fear. They created a vibrant atmosphere in the Design and Technology Centre during the three clinics by providing moral support to the donors, background music and a tuck-shop selling homemade cakes and sweets. People who were still too young or unable to donate, could show their support by buying a golden ribbon for R5. An amount of R2 500 was raised, which was handed over during a short ceremony to the Citizen of the Year of , Ms Zodwa Dube, who is the spokesperson for the Igazi Foundation situated in Port Elizabeth. The money will go towards the out fitting of the cancer ward of the national hospital. In return, Mr Msimelelo Lose, representative of the South African National Blood Service, presented each of the promoters with a certificate and Mr Alan Thompson, Ms Zodwa Dube of the IGAZI testimonial for service, as well as a small gift as Foundation and Con Worrall.

COLLEGE SPORT

Matt Royle in the final 100m U16

Grahamstown really outdid itself on Saturday providing a beautiful day for both the Hirsch, Edwards and Gunn Shield Athletics Championships, as well as the Inaugural Heritage Football Festival, both hosted by St Andrew’s College.

The Hirsch Shield event marked 99 years of the event being held and was a great day of athletic achievement. The leading athletics schools in the Border and Eastern Province compete in this team event held in the U14, U16 and U18 age-groups. The Lower Field looked spectacular on the day, thanks to much time and effort being invested by our Grounds and Gardens team, led by Roger Wilkinson. The College team did very well on the day, securing 2nd place overall in the U16 event, 3rd in the U18 event and 6th in the U14 event. All in all it was a very successful day with some excellent athletics on display.

Up on the St Aidan’s Field the College 1st Football Team hosted , Lawson Brown High School and Nombulelo High School. The games were a great learning experience for our boys as they learnt to come to grips with the demands of playing at a first team level. There was much to be enthused about, despite not coming away with a win on the day. This will prepare them for the challenges awaiting them at the Nedbank Grey College Festival in Bloemfontein this weekend.

The 1st Tennis Team travelled to Hilton to play in the Hilton/St Anne’s Festival this past weekend. The competition was tough and the young College side acquitted themselves well, alongside their DSG team mates. A 7th position overall belied the fact that all their matches were tight and some very good tennis was played. This type of tournament play is invaluable to the development of our players. Also away was our U15A Water polo side who took part in the Ian Melliar Tournament hosted by Wynberg Boys’ High School. The side finished in 11th place, a little disappointing given the possession and opportunities that they had in the games.

The Air Rifle Inter-House Competition which was shot in the Drill at the start of term was concluded with the announcement of the overall results. Upper House secured 1st place with Armstrong and Merriman not far behind. There was a tremendous turn-out for this competition with 98% of the College boys shooting and some 40 College staff. Ms Mareli Human was the best of the staff shottists. The Egyptian Trophy Archery Competition also finished off last week with each house entering their best 6 archers. Once again Upper took the spoils, with Espin and Armstrong slotting into 2nd and 3rd respectively. The individual finals of both these events will be shot during BalloonW eek.

NEC ASPERA TERRENT This is an extraordinarily busy week for our sports teams. Due to the government school holidays a myriad of sports festivals and tournaments take place across the country. Our 1st XI cricketers head for the Midlands where they will play in the prestigious Michaelmas Week based at Maritzburg College. They will playing Clifton High School, Maritzburg College, Hilton College and Glenwood High School from Saturday through to Tuesday. The Colts A side will be playing in the Festival, with all their games being played in Grahamstown. They will take on Affies, SACS and Kearsney College from Saturday through to Monday. The Junior Colts A side head off to Pretoria Boys’ High School to play in The Charl van Rooyen Festival and will play Waterkloof High School, Pietermartizburg Boys’ High School, Durban High School and Affies from Saturday to Tuesday. This week the Inter-House Cricket matches started in a T20 format.

We have been extremely privileged to have our two Olympian OAs rowers, James Thompson and Jake Green with us this week. They gave a moving and meaningful address to the school at assembly on Tuesday and have spent time with staff, coaches and rowers both on campus and out at the dam. A special dinner was held to honour these two fine young men for their achievements on the World stage. This weekend the rowers travel down to the Zwartkops River to take part in the ZRC Regatta as the opening of their new season. It will be interesting to see how they perform. There are a group of boys and coaches who will be making their way over to the Boston Regatta in the USA over half-term. This is a huge regatta that will give these boys tremendous exposure and experience, which they hope to bring back and put to good use in their rowing careers going forward. James Thompson and Jake Green

The 1st Team Water Polo boys head to Cape Town for the top-ranked SACS Tournament. All the top sides will be there and it will interesting to see how our senior boys can lead the side in this, their last tournament for College. The U15A side go through to East London to play in the Sterrenberg Tournament hosted by , whilst the U14As will travel to Hilton to play in their festival.

Also travelling to KZN are the 1st Basketball Team who will play in the Kearsney Festival in the Midlands. This tournament should provide a good opportunity for the Stayers to settle into their new roles for the season and for the team to bed itself down.

We have a number of swimmers heading to Port Elizabeth to take part in the Aquabears Gala and we hope that they turn in some fine early-season performances.

Wow! The summer season certainly has started with a bang! Let’s hope that all our teams perform creditably over this next weekend and that those of you who are supporting your boys have a wonderful weekend wherever you may be.
