LOYALTY TO: The traditions of our school, sharing a vision for its future. BUILDING A TRADITION How it all began A small primary school, catering for the Clifton area, was established in 1905 and housed in the St Albans Church Hall. In 1912, buildings were erected on the present site and the school began to grow. It became a secondary school in 1959 and was named Clifton Park High School in 1965. It was during this period that the uniform, badge and school song were established. A new school is born In 1978 the Primary Department amalgamated with Hudson Park Primary School and the school changed its name to Hudson Park High School. The Grade 7 class remained with the High School until 1985, at which time it was decided that the phenomenal growth of the senior school required that the Gr 7s move to join the Primary School. The school continued to grow, and in 1991 the decision was made to open its doors to pupils of all races. New buildings to house an expanding school 1993 saw the fulfilment of a long-time dream for many people, as a new administration and classroom block, as well as new garages were built, and renovations were made to the entire school. The extensions were opened officially in August 1994 by the Minister of Sport, Mr Steve Tshwete. Latest extensions o In 2005 we built the Centenary Hall. o In 2010 we built a mini hockey astro turf together with a refurbished clubhouse and change rooms at Dashwood Park. o In 2012/13 we built four new classrooms, a new Swimming/Water Polo pool, a gymnasium, change rooms and a clubhouse, named Eagles’ View, overlooking the Swimming pool and Clifton Fields. Founders’ Day Since 1978, one day has been set aside in August each year for the school to pay tribute to its heritage. During the Founders’ Day Ceremony, held as a combined event with the Primary School, the Head Prefects light the lamp symbolizing enlightenment. The Oath of the Eagle, a promise of loyalty to the school, is then led by the Head Prefects: “I promise to honour God, to be loyal to my country, to respect my family, to uphold the traditions of my school, Hudson Park, and to make a positive contribution so that this school will be made richer by my presence”. Our school motto has come to epitomize everything for which we strive: “Tentando Superabis” By Endeavour We Will Succeed The tradition continues Our Past Pupils’ Association ensures that we continue to remember our heritage. Members meet on a regular basis, and a tie and blazer badge are available from the school or from our stockists. Since 1988, each Matric class has celebrated its 10-year reunion weekend at the end of August with a special Founders’ Day Assembly. Twenty and thirty year gatherings have been added to the Reunion Assemblies.

We wish them well as they participate in the World Model United Nations debates To the Andrean Community I will never forget my first rugby match in my first year of high school. It was a game we thought we were well prepared for, and we were certainly confident as we chattered along in the bus to the game. We had all ‘played a bit’ in our respective prep schools and as we ran onto the field of Highlands North Boys’ High School in Johannesburg on a frosty early Saturday morning, we were, at that moment, completely oblivious to the fact that the ‘big fish from a small pond’ were about to meet some proper (carnivorous, it seemed) big, big fish. Three minutes into the game (in an era that preceded any consideration of health-and-safety) I was moved from flank to replace our hooker who had been carried off the field injured, and from then on my memory is a sketchy recollection of studs, hard ground, and pain - lots of pain in all parts of my body. Some incidentally obtained, some deliberately inflicted, deep in the engine room of our oft backward moving scrum. I learned a life-long lesson about excellence as I lay face down on that hard pitch oozing blood from my nose and trying not to cry. True excellence is not about being the best of a bad bunch, or being good in a context.
