SAC 2019 #7 Newsletter 8 March Term 1 #7 8 March 2019 NewsletterCollege St Andrew’s College To the Andrean Community The Buffalo Regatta of 2019 was, at one level, not one of our most successful outings. There could be no faulting of our boys’ commitment (of course), and the parental support in the rowing club is of the best I have experienced in any school with which I have been associated, ever. In spite of all of that, and an incredibly rigorous coaching and training programme, on the day, medals eluded us. The reality of national competition was tough. It is a tough old sport in itself, rowing - fully testing of physical mettle and mental strength. The margins between success and failure are incredibly small, and there is really no way to bluff your way through. “Grit is not just a simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest, and do it again and again.” - Sarah Lewis Nec Aspera Terrent St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent And there are days when, everything having gone to plan, the other boat Physics Olympiad is simply faster. Congratulations to Blaine Price who was placed 14th in the national Of course, when the going gets tough, there are decisions to be made, and selection tests for the International making the right decision at the right time is crucial. Some teams falter, Physics Olympiad. He single-handedly falling into the trap of negative thinking, of excuse-making (it is, after all, prepared for the tests which covered a very young crew), and retribution. The best teams, however, set their Matric and A Level Physics, and this is sights on the next goal, taking the learnings of failure (and then closing great credit to his natural affinity for the book) - using those learnings to get hungrier, to get motivated to do Physics as well as his determination. that which is necessary. For we have no aspirations of being big fish in a small pond here. Excellence is absolute, as is our determination to reach it. Aidan Smith It’s not quite the same as being the best at everything, but it most certainly is about being the very best that we can be, and then some. And so, the College team went into the SA Championship regatta as distinct underdogs (which is, actually, quite a powerful position to be in). Across the age groups the boys rowed their hearts out and there were a number of really good results against the toughest competition in Southern Africa. When the 1st VIII came off the water as bronze medalists there could be no doubting the fact that here was a team that had learned its tough lessons well and risen to the challenge. They had dug deep, put in that which was needed, and grown. And although it may seem that this letter is about rowing, it’s not really about that at all. It is about character, bounce-back-ability, grit, and the absolute relationship between determination, effort, and reward. WEEK AT A GLANCE The progress of the rowing club in this part of the season is, in fact, the very epitome of Nec Aspera Terrent. I could not have been prouder of St Friday 8 March: Andrew’s College. Scifest (from 6 - 12 March) Hockey - 1st XI Tony Godding Festival to 10/3 (Selborne) And, although I have used rowing as my example, the grit of our boys 12h25 - Woman’s Day Celebrations is evident everywhere. It is in the College DNA. As I travel about at this time of year interviewing boys, there are some who, when given the Saturday 9 March: opportunity, like to ask some questions of their own. Many ask about the Hockey - 3rd XI Port Alfred Festival unique features of College, and while there are many and the question Hockey - Internal matches always makes for good conversation, the fact that you just can’t keep a Rugby vs Nico Malan High School (H) College boy down is, for me, the one that makes me proudest. And while it’s a great characteristic for a boy navigating school to have, it will serve Sunday 10 March: him well for life. Squash - EP Trials (Round 1) Monday 11 March: God Bless Drug Awareness Week 12h25 - Woman’s Day Celebrations 18h45 - Senior Interhouse Maths Relay Alan Thompson Visit: https://my.sacschool.com for full calendar [email protected] www.sacschool.com St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent COLLEGE LIFE Blood Drive The first blood drive for 2019 was held on Tuesday afternoon 19 February in the D&T Centre. A festive atmosphere prevailed in the packed venue. More than 80 prospective donors volunteered, a lot of them for the first time. Unfortunately several had to be turned away for medical reasons. In spite of this, much to the delight of the SANBS staff, 65 units of blood were collected, 7 more than their target for the day. Many thanks to all the donors, as well as the boys and girls who contributed by buying ribbons for R5 each. The money raised in this way will be donated to an institution in line with blood donations, pointed out by the SANBS. Thea Steele www.sacschool.com St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent Shrove Tuesday The annual interhouse pancake race took place under overcast skies on Shrove Tuesday, 5th March 2019. As always it was a very entertaining and competitive event. Each house relay team was made up of 5 boys, one from each grade. Upper House, the defending champions, once again took the laurels and lifted the prized Interhouse Pancake race trophy. They were followed home by Armstrong house, Graham House, Merriman House, Espin House and Mullins House. A big thank you to staff who assisted as marshals and to Mr Pete Andrew who was our starter for the race. David Stansbury Chaplain www.sacschool.com St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent CULTURAL God Blesses the Senior Open Concert It was an unbearably hot day on Wednesday with the temperature reaching 40 degrees! The Music School auditorium with its air conditioner was the place to be at 17h30. The most important thing about the concert was that after some thunder and lightning (very, very frightening…) there was a wonderful downpour of rain. A most welcome blessing from God and a sign that we were in the right place doing the right thing. At the start, Stuart Christie put everyone in relaxation mode with a calm and lyrical demonstration of jazz piano playing in John Myhill’s Ikon. This was followed by an impressive debut performance by Sauvan Sewsunker of an Adagio by J.S. Bach. The Prelude by John Rutter performed on the Flute by cultural prefect Tim Simpson was the perfect continuation of this overwhelming sense of serenity that permeated the start of the concert. It wasn’t all just highbrow classical stuff. There was some Ed Sheeran and Billy Joel too. There were a number of Grade 8s that also performed for the first time: Abi Dixon-Warren on Trumpet and Hilton Lindhorst and Greg Miller on Trombones. After a delightful Rough and Ready Rag on said Trombones, Angela Volschenk returned us to the calm peace of a Bach Prelude. The concert ended with a well-modulated and delightful performance of a Mozart Sonata movement on Piano by the inimitable Emily Morgan. All in all, a very enjoyable 40 minutes away from the hurly burly of school life. Mike Skipper Director of Music www.sacschool.com St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent Masicule 2019 On Sunday and Monday nights (24 and 25 February) the Monument Theatre was filled with the joyful singing of over 500 singers from nine different Grahamstown school choirs and two adult vocal ensembles. It was a veritable musical feast and an incredible smorgasbord of vocal variety. From the vibrant opening of the ‘surround sound’ Yele Yele Masicule, right through to the rich and vibrant collaborations with the inimitable South African musical giant, Vusi Mahlasela at the end, it was pure magic. St Andrew’s College and DSG were well represented by providing 140 singers for the Massed Choir from our Chapel Choirs and also presenting the soulful and beautiful Bawo with our combined choirs. The piece is a heartfelt plea to God for forgiveness and it was an excellent example of controlled choral musicianship. The choristers gave up two Sunday afternoons as well as a Thursday night to rehearse with everybody else, besides the hours of rehearsals on their own. Sincere thanks and warm congratulations must go to all our young singers and the Head Choristers, Ben Aliker and Babalwa Kleyi. Mike Skipper Director of Music www.sacschool.com St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent SPORT Dear All With Half-Term meaning that we did not have a Newsletter last week there is quite a bit that has happened in the interim.

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.
