Headmaster’s Address 2023

Dear St Peter’s College Community,

Today, I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and a sense of deep connection to this remarkable community. The words I share with you have been brewing within me for a long time, etched in the very core of my being. If, at times, they do not flow as easily as they should, understand that they come from a place that is profound and deeply rooted.

In the summer of 1996, an artist embarked on a journey of creation. With an easel, a palette, and a vision, the artist painted a masterpiece that would come to be known as “St Peter’s College.” Picture the scene: tubes of oil paints neatly arranged, a stool for comfort and the canvas slowly transforming as layers of Navy Blue, Old Gold and Red were meticulously applied. The artist, satisfied with the end result, cleaned brushes, packed paints, and hung up a smock, leaving behind a masterpiece now revered as one of the greatest Independent Schools in South Africa.

Now, we have the privilege to marvel at this masterpiece up close, a daily blessing for some of us. It is a testament to the dedication, dreams

and hard work of those who have contributed to St Peter’s College over the past 25 years.

Reflecting on my 21-year journey at St Peter’s College, I am astounded by the rapid growth and progress we have made. Our school has evolved into an outstanding institution and I acknowledge the vision and passion of our founding fathers. Their foresight laid the foundation for the exceptional educational environment we find ourselves in today.

As true Petrians, we uphold our Anglican identity and remain committed to our core values of Respect, Relationships, Responsibility, and Resilience. Our mission statement guides us in providing a balanced, caring, varied, and modern environment, ensuring that individual potential is achieved through exposure to excellence in academics, sports, creativity, culture, community, and entrepreneurship.

In the ever-changing landscape of education, we face challenges and constant change. Financial constraints demand efficiency and we have responded by striving to maintain our provision and breadth of choice for all students. The vision of our Council and Executive is clear: to create an education system meeting the demands of the 21st century, placing the importance and value of all young people at its heart.

Our success is a result of the dedication of our teaching staff, the myriad of opportunities offered to our students and the hard work behind the scenes by our administrative, technical, and support teams. I am continually amazed by the dedication, commitment and professionalism of our team.

St Peter’s College is more than a school; it is a community rooted in equality, where every voice is powerful. Our buildings embody our hopes and dreams, etched in bricks, stone and mortar. As we emerge from our Silver Jubilee, our spirit burns brightly, transcending all challenges.

As we bid farewell to esteemed members of the St Peter’s College Council, including our Chairman of Council, Mr Des Mahony, we welcome new appointments for 2024: Mrs Parmi Natesan, the first female head of the council and Mr Richard Irvine, who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm. We also say goodbye to Mrs Projeni Pather, Mrs Stacy Mogale and Mrs Pamella Marlowe, who have played crucial roles in our Marketing, Legal and

Parent Association portfolios respectively. We also welcome Professor Ian Jandrell, who will lead the Academic Subcommittee. My heartfelt thanks to our board of governors for their unwavering support.

A special mention goes to Mrs. Shelly Matthews, our Deputy Headmistress: Academics, who has left an indelible mark on our school over the past 20 years. As she takes on a new role as the Principal of Reddam House Waterfall, we bid her farewell with pride and gratitude for her incredible service. Shelly’s legacy will endure in the academic excellence she has nurtured. Her tireless efforts, innovative ideas and nurturing approach have empowered students and teachers alike, leading us to new heights academically.

To the parents, your support, cooperation and interest in your children’s education are invaluable. The triangle of support between the student, the school, and parents is essential for St Peter’s success. To those who embody the St Peter’s ethos, you are the heart and soul of St Peter’s College.

As we move “In Futurum Fortiter” – into the future with strength – let us continue standing on the shoulders of giants, drawing inspiration from the past to create a brighter future. May the spirit of St Peter’s College continue to burn brightly, transcending all challenges.

Thank you for your unwavering support, and may the journey ahead be filled with continued growth, learning, and success.

“In Futurum Fortiter.”

Rui Morais Headmaster

Revd Kabelo Motlhakane

Chaplain and Head of Transformation & Inclusion

Headmaster at St Peter’s College, Rui Morais, is a highly versatile and dynamic professional with a successful background in leading substantial strategic improvements in standards of teaching, learning and providing support to students, delivery staff and management personnel.

Rui’s exceptional interpersonal and communication skills ensure that he naturally develops a strong rapport with others while developing curriculum and management strategy. Yet, these relationships often extend beyond traditional business interaction. His reputation as a motivational and inspirational team player is well-founded, and he finds fulfillment in coaching and empowering others towards fulfilling their potential and making a positive contribution to the achievement of their personal objectives.

As a competent strategist, Rui has also proven his ability to influence policy and developments with direct and positive impact on education and learning. Coupled with his strong planning capabilities, this characteristic provides clear direction for the future of St Peter’s College, taking into consideration all aspects involved in increasing establishment ranking.

“I embrace the challenge of identifying next steps for positive turn-around, correcting errors and implementing appropriate change management courses of action” he says. With Rui at the helm, St Peter’s college looks set to grow from strength to strength.

“ It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” - Albert Einstein

School Chaplain and Head of Transformation at St Peter’s College, Reverend Kabelo Motlhakane is unique amongst his fellow specialists in transformation and belonging, as possibly the only ordained priest that holds both callings.

St Peter’s espouses Anglican Christian values in every facet of its activities and promotes a deep-seated culture of respect across colour, creed and background as outlined in the school’s mission statement and core values of respect, honour, compassion, collaboration, resilience and responsibility.

Reverend Kabelo’s role reinforces this approach as he serves both as the school’s spiritual leader and as a consciousness for all matters relating to the intersectional nature of race, religion, sexuality, gender, and other social differentiators. On an overarching level, he aims to ensure that all who enter the St Peter’s College Campus feel safe, heard, seen and appreciated.

“My role is integral to how individuals, especially those who belong to marginalised groups (both historically and contextually), interact with the school’s content and the symbols and culture the school embodies, “ he says. “As an ordained Anglican priest, my departure point for the work of transformation and belonging is always

from the perspective that Jesus is an active liberator and one that finds common ground in spaces of great conflict.

When I facilitate conversations and engage our students and staff , I try to unearth the humanity at the core of our diversity. Ours is a humanity that is made in the one undivided image of a loving God, and it is from a place of love for humanity, creation, and community that all I do comes from. I believe that nothing human can ever be alien to me; everything good and bad that another human being can do, I am equally capable of.”

Ndivhuwo Nengovhela Senior Finance Manager

A qualified Chartered Accountant with a strong background in the audit, advisory and financial services industry, Ndivhuwo Nengovhela fulfilled the role of Executive Finance Manager at St Peter’s Prep School for four years before joining St Peter’s College as Senior Finance Manager in September 2021.

Ndivhuwo’s career success is built around her ability to continuously create organisational value across various fast-paced environments. That characteristic, combined with in depth knowledge and skills of technical and industry elements, provides the perfect foundation for managing the St Peter’s College Finances.

At St Peter’s, the role of Senior Finance Manager is to navigate the college through the finance, governance, risk management and systems landscape towards financial sustainability and growth. However, together with overall financial oversight and risk mitigation aspects, come significant business management responsibilities. As part of the Senior Executive team involved in developing and implementing the strategic direction for the college, Ndivhuwo’s contribution includes scoping and proposing optimal organisational business structure and the planning, accessing, negotiation and implementation of the most appropriate capital structure and debt funding. Her proficiency in driving seamless operations and rapidly assessing and fulfilling requirements has informed her career journey thus far and now benefits the College’s financial team.

Ndivhuwo describes her professional and personal outlook with a quote by Tony Robbins; “Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution, experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.”

Brian Armitage Deputy Head, Student Affairs

Brian Armitage has an in-depth understanding of, and unwavering belief in, the holistic programme on offer at St Peter’s College. His 26 years of teaching Mathematics, Technical Subjects and Mathematical Literacy, coupled with extensive managerial experience as Head of Department, Grade Head and Head of Co-Curricular have prepared him well for his role as Deputy Headmaster, Student Affairs. At St Peter’s, the role of Deputy Headmaster includes managing the Pastoral Care Team and overseeing the Student Programme in line with the overall strategic plan and objectives of the executive committee.

The Grade Pastoral Care Team comprises of five Grade Heads, five Grade Heads Assistants and two Educational Psychologists; all of whom are focused on meeting the emotional, physical and academic needs of the students. The student programme is designed to value the unique contribution of each individual. Towards that end, pastoral and academic staff collaborate in nurturing confidence and maturity in an atmosphere of opportunity and enquiry, and through excellent structures of care. Brian’s career success revolves around his ability to relate to young people and forge strong relationships with students, staff and parents built on trust. His knowledge of the education environment and insight into current

familial and socio-economic pressures make him particularly effective in his role.

He believes that in an ever-changing world, young people must embody values that will enable them to thrive within diverse communities. At St Peter’s, the core values are Relationships, Respect, Responsibility and Resilience and students are encouraged to live these values in every aspect of their lives. The Pastoral Care team oversees many necessary aspects of school life that contribute to the social and emotional wellbeing of the students under their care. Their goal is to develop young people with vision, energy, and enterprise; who are not afraid of hard work, who value teamwork, and who bear the good of the greater community in mind at all times.

One of the strongest testimonies to the value and integrity of St Peter’s is the enjoying of relationships that so many of its employees have with the institution and their unwavering dedication to furthering its goals. St Peter’s Operations Manager, Lynda Kirkland, is another example of a string of long-term connections between the college and its staff members.

Her first engagement in St Peter’s College take place way back in its founding days when Lynda’s son, Matthew Kirkland, was one of the college’s founding students and her initial volunteer work at the school shop, led to her appointment as Personal Assistant to former St Peter’s Rector, Mr Greg Royce. She continued to work for several school heads until finally family commitment saw her relocating to Port Alfred, where she owned and managed a successful gym for a few years. However, when St Peter’s call to take up the position of professional assistant came in 2015, she took on the challenge with enthusiasm. The rest, as they say, is history!

Her ongoing commitment and talent lead to Lynda taking up the reins in Operations in 2020, where the portfolio encompasses the planning, directing, coordinating, and overseeing of all operations, including oversight of the building and assets maintenance staff, drivers, security services and various outsourced service providers, including grounds and cleaning teams. In keeping with the school’s ethos Lynda’s role focuses predominantly on the day-to-day activities that create a safe, clean environment in which staff and learners can perform to their maximum.

As a member of the executive, Lynda also scopes out the college infrastructure into the future to ensure that the college community continues to have a clean, well maintained and safe campus in which to realise their potential.

Shelly Matthews has a teaching career that spans over 20 years, more than 10 of which have been spent at St Peter’s College, where as Deputy Head of Academic, her role is integral to the institution’s offering of a relevant yet diverse education in a co-educational environment.

St Peter’s approach is focused on preparing young people holistically and guiding their future according to their strengths and interests rather than concentrating solely on academic achievements. Shelly’s own passion for continuous development is perfectly aligned with that of the College. She studied teaching, taught for 10 years in an HOD role at Sacred Heart College before returning to Wits University to complete her honours degree in Education. The importance of lifelong learning is one of the fundamental messages that she and her team try to impart to their students on a daily basis.

Lynda Kirkland Operations Manager

Shelly Matthews Deputy Head, Academics

St Peter’s graduates go on to attend both local and international universities and the school itself boasts a 100% pass rate with around a 90% rate of university passes. The education they receive at the College prepares them well for the challenges of tertiary education and a healthy number make the Dean’s list or receive highlevel scholarships.

The academic team encourages St Peter’s students to be the change they would like to see in the world, and strive to provide them with a healthy learning foundation to help them become these agents of change. Nelson Mandela’s words of wisdom, encapsulate Shelly’s own philosophy around learning: “Education is the most lethal weapon, because with it you can change the world.”

St Peter’s College Marketing Manager, Sasha Govender, graduated with a BCom Honours degree specialising in Marketing from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. After more than a decade of marketing and commercial roles dedicated to growing a myriad of international brands, she stepped out of her comfort zone and into the Education space by heading up the English foreign teacher department in an Asian market. Since then, she continued on her Education path locally by becoming a qualified Business Studies and EMS teacher, graduating Cum Laude.

Sasha heads up the Marketing and Admissions portfolio at St Peter’s College as Executive Team Lead. She is insight-focused, goal-driven and curious about combining historical thinking with trends, evolutionary awareness and calculated risks. She uses various platforms and marketing initiatives to drive potential customers to the admissions side of the portfolio and elevate the brand’s image. With this mindset, she pushes boundaries and pursues year-on-year growth. Holistically, this portfolio contributes both strategically and operationally to the growth and positioning of St Peter’s College by ensuring that the college remains a strong, relevant, recognisable and engaging brand that lives out its values. Under her leadership, the St Peter’s brand continues to be recognised as one of the leading independent schools in South Africa.

The following quote by Michelle Obama captures her attitude surrounding individual and business possibilities: “The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.”

Human

St Peter’s Human Resources Manager, Toni Batchelor, graduated Cum Laude from her Master’s degree in Industrial Psychology, at the University of Witwatersrand. She is also registered with the Health Professionals Council as an Industrial Psychologist (PS 0147931). At St Peter’s, the role of HR Manager is to provide effective HR support to the school with an emphasis on HR initiatives that address the value of relationships and optimise performance in the context of the College’s business functions.

Toni’s ability to realise the benefits of healthy working relationships, combined with in-depth knowledge and skills of Human Resource Management; Labour Relations; Talent Management and Psychometrics is at the heart of her career success and contribution to the College.

Practical exposure to a variety of functional sections during an early internship role at Shine, (a niche consultancy focused on improving performance and reducing stress in the workplace, through enabling healthy relationships) laid a strong foundation of workable knowledge and competency across her various areas of practice.

Now, as part of the Senior Executive team at St Peter’s, Toni is involved in developing and fulfilling the strategic goals of the College by effecting Human Relations aspects that harness optimal organisational potential. Toni believes that investing in ALL personnel makes the organisation functionally more effective, because through working together, everyone achieves more. The phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” first coined by the philosopher Aristotle, sums up her approach to the HR function at St Peter’s!

The Michelangelo TrophyHighest Practical Result in Grade 11

The Grade 9 Entrepreneurship Day Project aims to help the students think about becoming job creators and not job seekers. There are challenges to explore their entrepreneurial potential and to take the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to become successful business owners one day. This is done through simulating the process from a business idea to a business plan and hopefully culminating in a profit. To this end, the winning business will be the one that is the most professional and not necessarily the group with the most profit.

a) An average of 75% must be achieved for: a. Grade 10-11: Term 1, Term 2, Term 2 Exam, Term 3 and Term 3 Examination

And

b) A minimum of a 65% average must be achieved in every subject.

The Most Promising Grade 9 Student in Mathematical Sciences

Grade 9 is a watershed year in Mathematics, and it is already clear who the top Mathematicians will be in the next three years. There is healthy competition in the current Grade 9 group, and to occupy the top spot requires perfection in every assessment.

However, from Grade 11, candidates may be awarded Honours if the candidate achieves academic half-colours in Grade 10 AND the candidate obtains at least a recorded mark of 80% or more through the course of the year.

Academics

Berna de Beer

The aim of the academic programme at St Peter’s College is to foster a love for learning that will promote the desire for our students to be lifelong learners. This is only effective when the students are fully engaged and challenged by the academic programme. The teachers employ several creative strategies to engage their students in an interactive process of teaching and learning. In 2022, I was excited to see the wonderful learning opportunities on offer to our students and realised the importance of sharing this with the greater community so that all stakeholders can share in the success of the academic programme on offer at St Peter’s College. Here is a glimpse of what happens at St Peter’s College daily.

Mathematics, often regarded as the language of the universe, stands as an intellectual cornerstone that transcends disciplines and enriches minds. In our exploration of the subject, we delve into the many advantages of embracing Mathematics as an essential component of one’s academic journey. All sections in Mathematics not only refine critical thinking but also unlock the doors to creativity and innovation.

Mathematics is the backbone of the sciences. Whether in physics, chemistry or biology, the principles of Mathematics provide a robust framework for understanding and explaining the natural phenomena.

Contrary to the misconception that Mathematics is a rigid and formulaic subject, it is a fertile ground for creativity. In Analytical Geometry, our students were challenged with a worksheet based on the “Cluedo” game. By using analytical formulas, a murderer, a murder weapon, and a venue had to be discovered through calculations.

Similarly, in trigonometry, we used a maze to find the shortest way to an endpoint, using trigonometric ratios.

In conclusion, the study of Mathematics is not merely a scholastic pursuit; it is a passport to intellectual empowerment, critical thinking, and boundless creativity. Mathematics offers a unique lens through which the world can be understood and navigated. As we embrace Mathematics, we embark on a journey that not only elevates our academic standing but equips us with the tools to comprehend the intricate tapestry of our universe.

History

Ryan Hammond

Our History students were exposed to a number of amazing outings during 2023, which extended our students’ knowledge. The Grade 8s visited Constitution Hill as part of their study of 20th century South African History. They had visited the prison cells and found the stories from the Women’s Jail and ‘Number 4’ most interesting. The Grade 8s also made and presented a memory box on a South African History icon after the visit. As part of our study of Genocide, our Grade 9s visited the Holocaust and Genocide Centre in Parktown.

Here they were exposed to survivor stories and honed their skills as young historians as they examined photographs and other sources. Our Grade 10 students worked on their research skills by completing a variety of tasks, working with podcasts and having some great discussions and debates. The Grade 11s and 12s visited the Apartheid Museum as an extension of the South African History themes that they were studying. The History Department also worked collaboratively with other departments on projects relating to World War I and the Great Depression.

Life Orientation 2023

Holly Ryder-Nimb

Life Orientation is a little subject that punches above its weight. With only two formal lessons a cycle, we depend on the college’s core values of respect, responsibility, resilience and relationships to get the students through the content and achieving results.

We have managed to incorporate many outside speakers into the timetable to help bring the content alive and make it relevant to our world. The Grade 12s have benefitted from speakers from both international and national universities, who have helped make the difficult choice of where and what to study, easier to navigate. One of the favourite speakers was from The Gap Year Experience who provided better options then being unemployed while making the choice for one’s future.

A large focus of Grade 9 Life Orientation is Subject Choice. This is always a daunting decision but by working through vision boards, having up-to-date and factual conversations and working from a position of strength, it is made easier and usually without too many changes of mind.

The LO Team owes its success to the fact that the teaching staff is diverse – which brings different and varying perspectives to the meetings and planning sessions.

Although Life Orientation is often asked why we do not teach people to change a tyre or boil an egg, we do try to provide the opportunity for safe conversations about controversial topics. We allow for the practice of life skills but how a student internalises and uses those for the greater good, becomes a life choice.

Celebrating 25 Years of Magic:

St Peter’s College Presents “Beauty and the Beast”

2023 marked a milestone in St Peter’s rich theatrical history. As we celebrated our Silver Jubilee, the MADDitorium stage shimmered with the magic of “a tale as old as time”, bringing to life the timeless Walt Disney classic, “Beauty and the Beast.” The echoes of laughter, the crescendo of melodies, and the vibrant energy of our students came together to create a spectacle that will be remembered for many years to come.

At the heart of this enchanting production were our remarkable lead actors, each bringing their own unique charm to the stage. Sharing the role of Belle was Katherine Kellock and Rearabetswe Aphane. Katherine was an ethereal beauty, while Rearabetswe personified youthful vitality; both capturing the audience with their incredible voices and mesmerising stage presence. Opposite Belle stood the Beast, which was also a shared role, and was portrayed with energy and incredible vocal prowess by Ben Wefelmeier, and the raw energy of Paul Porter. Their performances drew us into a world where love blossoms in unexpected places and redemption knows no bounds.

In the enchanted castle, the brilliant ensemble of household objects had the audience enthralled with their quick quips and toe-tapping musical numbers. Le incroyable et manifique Nosipho Masondo and Boitumelo Tau illuminated the stage in their shared role as Lumiere, the candlestick. As the steadfast Cogsworth, Takondwa Mphande had many a scene-stealing moment with her phenomenal comedic timing, while Mia du Plessis, as Mrs. Potts, enchanted us with her sensational soprano stylings. Jinelle Bicker-Caarten brought the outlandish role of Madame De La Grande Bouche to life, infusing the wardrobe with pizzazz and warmth, while Abby Turner turned on her flirty French flair as the flighty feather-duster Babette. Boipelo Mavima, encased in a trolley for most of the show as the teacup, Chip, was able to breathe life into this endearing character through her facial expressions alone!

No tale of romance and adventure would be complete without its villain; and Ben Quidding, with an enigmatic mix of both chauvinism and charm, captivated audiences with his portrayal of the arrogant Gaston. Alongside him, Myles Penman and Avheani Mutepe, as LaFou and LaFay respectively, provided comic relief with their wellexecuted clown-like bafoonery. And we could never forget the accomplished performance of Simile Zamxaka as Maurice, the accident-prone inventor-father to Belle.

The talented chorus members added their voices and dancing skills to the production, pouring their hearts into every note and each choreographed step, to ensure that our production of “Beauty and the Beast” was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Their dedication was particularly showcased the day the huge fork, knife and spoon costumes arrived, as the cast bravely donned their outfits and attempted to dance the intricate “Be Our Guest” number without crashing into or stabbing one another!

Behind the scenes, the dedication of our students shone brighter than ever. Georgie Pearse and her team of backstage crew flexed their muscles

(literally), moving massive set pieces night after night, while Ben Wefelmeier’s incredible talents extended beyond the stage, as he designed marketing materials, crafted props and sets, and even sewed costumes for the production.

As the final curtain fell, applause filling the air, and standing ovations humbling us, we were reminded of the transformative power of storytelling, of music, and of the boundless creativity that thrives within the walls of St Peter’s College. In celebrating 25 years of magic, we look forward to many more tales yet to be told, many more dreams yet to be realised, and many more moments of enchantment that will forever define our beloved school.

Creative Arts

Staci Howard

The Creative Arts Department had a busy - yet successful - 2023. From the Art Studio to the stage, the year was jam-packed with events and activities.

Visual Art:

During the Sport and Culture Festival, many schools participated in our famous pavement drawing and Graffiti competitions, creating impressive works. Sutherland High School won the pavement drawing contest, while Prestige College won the Graffiti competition.

The ceramics workshop at the festival attracted a lot of interest with students producing skilful artworks. In the second term, the mono-printing workshop was especially meaningful for students, teaching them new skills and expanding their practical abilities. Ceramics has now been introduced as a club at St Peter’s College and we look forward to seeing what the students will produce with this new art form.

French:

Meanwhile, in French this year, the French Language Tour was launched. Students will embark on a séjour linguistique to Antibes and Paris in April 2024, affording students the opportunity to develop and practise the language in a real-life context. Several students also wrote the internationally recognised DELF A1, A2 and B1 examinations and passed with flying colours!

Félicitations ! A huge congratulations also goes out to the French Grade 12 students of 2023 who attained a class average of 89%.

Music:

The Music Department, not only a hub for musical fun and creativity but also a place for education and skill development, witnessed an increase in numbers in both academic and co-curricular programmes. These programmes offered a wide variety of opportunities for learners to engage

in the art form and allowed students to express themselves through their gifts.

Throughout the year, our diverse ensembles delivered numerous performances showcasing their skills to the school and the public. We were blessed with talented individuals who courageously performed at internal and external events, collaborating with schools in the Gauteng region. Highlights included the Summer and Winter Soiree, Evening of Voice, Interschools Ensemble Concerts, Interschools Choir Festival, International Marimba Festival and our own Interschools Marimba Festival.

The biggest event is our Music Festival which forms part of the college’s annual Sport and Culture Festival, featuring over 50 ensembles from schools across the country including the Johannesburg Youth Orchestra.

Professional guest artists, including Phila Dlozi, Ntwillz Major and NLite Band, enriched our main events. We were fortunate that these artists were open to question-and-answer sessions for our learners interested in pursuing a music career.

Our aim for our Subject Music students is to expose learners to as many different genres as possible. One of the excursions included watching the We Will Rock You musical at Monte Casino as well as witnessing the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance of well-known Matric Setwork, Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.

Students have also excelled in external international examinations such as Trinity Guildhall, Rock n Pop, Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and Rockschool, providing valuable constructive feedback and exposure to global standards through assessments by UK examiners. Learners have also competed in the National Eisteddfod, Pretoria Eisteddfod, Roedean School Music Competition as well as the Phillip H Moore Competition.

Our Music Department is supported by a fantastic team of 17 dedicated peripatetic staff members who are all experts in their fields and come with a wealth of experience in the music industry. Their daily impartation of knowledge and inspiration reflects in the exceptional results achieved by our learners.

The contagious camaraderie within the Music

Department fosters a strong musical bond, setting the stage for continued success in the future.

Dramatic Arts:

2023 saw a hive of activity in Dramatic Arts, starting off with the Evening of Poetry. Grade 11 Drama students presented a mix of spoken word, physical theatre, acting, and superb stage energy. Gr 10 and 11 drama students proudly presented scenes and monologues from South African playwrights during the Proudly South African Drama Showcase. The subject matter included South African characters and issues that were both entertaining and thought-provoking. Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not mention the incredible DraMatric results: a class average of 83% with three students achieving in the top 1% of IEB Dramatic Arts students in the country and one student, Katherine Kellock, achieving an astounding 100%. Well done!

Natural Sciences

Innovation thrives within the Natural Sciences Department at St Peter’s College, where the realms of Physical and Life Sciences converge to inspire curiosity and exploration. Recently, the College embarked on the One Problem One Day program, a testament to collaborative ingenuity.

In Physical Sciences, students delved into the captivating world of metallurgy, deciphering flame colours through the burning of metals and scrutinizing soil pH to assess technological impact.

The Life Sciences curriculum delves into the marvels of the natural world, offering students exposure to a diverse range of subjects such as Genetics, Evolution, Ecology, and various sections of Human and Plant Anatomy. Our approach goes beyond theoretical knowledge, incorporating hands-on practical tasks that directly relate to reallife scenarios. Additionally, we actively involve our students in ethical considerations and research activities pertinent to the respective fields.

The department’s commitment to innovation extends beyond the classroom, with teachers crafting bespoke e-books for Grade 9 and 10 students, fostering enriched learning experiences. At St Peter’s, the Natural Sciences Department illuminates the path to discovery, igniting a passion for exploration and inquiry.

Cosmo City Outreach

We reflect on our outreach project by our grade 11 students who revamped Elizabeth Paul Anglican church in Cosmo City (this is a project that our students have been working on since 2022). Our students and several staff members created a vegetable garden that has been aiding in feeding the local community members through a soup kitchen.

This year, they painted the palisade fencing, laid paving and made a slab for the foundation of the water tank and pump which will help with sustainability. Our students also assisted with coordinating new signage for the church as well as overall upkeep and convenience such as shading. We are constantly encouraging our students to be actively engaged in meaningful work through our outreach projects.

We would like to thank everyone who was involved and has continued to show support. We are excited to see what our students have planned for the future in this journey of unity and transformation!

Mountains and Madness

Sarah Dhanipersad

“Exciting”, “fun”, “emotional” and “challenging” are just a few of the many words that can be used to describe the Grade 10 camp of 2023. After hearing what can only be described as horror stories from previous campers regarding the Drakensburg Hiking Camp, anxiety seemed to be uppermost in our hearts. Needless to say, we needn’t have worried about a single thing.

The day of arrival was one filled with mixed emotions and lots of chatter amongst each other making sure everything we needed was packed and already finding people with backups if required! After taking a chaotic group photo, we finally made our way to the land of no phones. Once we reached the campsite, it was a feeling of relief to stretch our legs and arms and see our friends after a torturous four hours apart. We were, then, introduced to the camp facilitators and felt a sense of comfort after receiving a warm and energetic welcome. The facilitators divided the grade into two groups and it was quite an emotional task as no one wanted to leave each other but I think we can all agree that it was for the better seeing as we have all made so many more friends to last a lifetime.

After playing an amazing team building game, which allowed us to get to know not only each other but our teachers and the camp facilitators, we all felt ready to conquer everything in our paths including the infamous, daunting hike that was coming our way. We woke up the next morningbodies aching from the experience of sleeping in a tent -and got ready to do the hike. We changed, packed our bags (with enough supplies to semisettle on the mountains) and we were on our way. The first few kilometres were challenging, mentally and physically, for all of us especially due to the heat but we all pushed forward, despite our fear of evaporating, with the encouragement of our fellow peers, teachers, and camp facilitators. Getting to the waterfalls, is when the tables really changed for all of us. That was the moment when we realised that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and seeing this beauty gushing down

from an impossible height with people we’ve grown to love is something that doesn’t happen very often. We were all extremely grateful after that to be given the opportunity to share this experience. That short stop made the hike back down a much more achievable task as we all felt stronger than before and when we finally made it down, tired, out of breath and ready to go to sleep, we all felt a sense of accomplishment - this specific pride that does not come very often. We were all talking at our much-needed break when we heard our friends from the other group come down from their hike. You’d think there was a stampede with the way we all ran to see them. It was as if it had been weeks since we last saw them but really, it was a matter of two days. After many hugs and jokes were shared between the two groups, it was time to separate again and get ready for the big move between campsite and dorm.

That night was special for a lot of us as we truly got to know each other on a deeper level. We played a game called, “Hot Seat” that I am sure now holds a special place in all our hearts. We sat in a circle and got to know all the good things about ourselves, coming from people we cared about. It really allowed us to get to know each other as well as love ourselves more and believe in ourselves. These moments of self-reflection and self-acknowledgement were priceless.

The switchover then occurred the next day and we, again, got to see our friends. The emotions were very divided; some of us very excited to sleep in the dorms and the rest of us not so ready to leave to the tents. We spent the rest of the day together as a grade playing many fun games and simply enjoying each other’s company without any distractions. The next day we went on our last hike and after the last experience I think we all felt that the goal was closer to reach.

The last day, the grade got together and we did something that none of us thought we were going to do…we opened up. We did a reflection session in which we dug into our past and fought our demons. Never in my life have I seen anyone come closer. Many of us were somewhat strangers to each other but we held on tight and never let go. We saw a vulnerable side of ourselves that no one has ever seen before and it brought us closer together than we thought possible.

The last night was a night for the books. In an unexpected turn of events, the grade found ourselves in a position where we spent the night

together due to lightning and it was just perfect. We did an activity where we put on comedic skits, showcasing everything we experienced and learned throughout the camp. It was a night full of laughs and emotions that none of us would’ve given up for the world. It was the perfect end to the perfect camp.

This camp certainly set the scene for the rest of the year… a year where us grade 10s will appreciate both ourselves and our peers.

Grade 9

Kwalata Camp

The Grade 9s were privileged to attend Kwalata Adventure Camp situated in the Dinokeng Game Reserve. We arrived at the beautiful game reserve in high spirits after a short bus ride.

Camp is a great opportunity to unplug from electronics and re-connect with nature. From the

amazing early morning game drives filled with wildlife sightings to the mud obstacle course, volleyball and puzzle building, it was much-needed time outdoors. The weather was glorious and we took advantage of this to enjoy the water slides and explore our lush green surroundings. The delicious meals on offer put a smile on our faces and made feeding all those kids look easy. Also, there wasn’t a dirty dish in sight after we had cleaned up – our moms would have been proud!

Although most people would hate to admit it, we DO need a break from TV, cell phones and the Internet to rediscover our creative powers and engage in the real world. The outdoor experience certainly enriched our perception of the world and a deep appreciation and respect for nature. Above all, camp is about lasting friendships. Making friends at camp is probably the best part of camp because they make camp more fun! The relaxing environment and fun-filled teambuilding activities helped us develop our social skills and create memories that will last a lifetime. Our last evening at camp was spent with a game of stalk the lantern and an unexpected glimpse of a shooting star across the clear night sky. It was a fitting end to a very special camp.

Dorm Life

van den Berg & Matthew Cassidy

We just survived the Kwalata craziness and let’s just say that life will never be the same again!

First up, we faced off in the ancient art of Sockey. Forget football; Sockey is the future! Picture soccer, but with a twist – and by twist, we mean slipping and sliding around in mud. Needless to say, we emerged from the Sockey battlefield resembling walking mud monsters.

Dorm life was a sitcom waiting to happen. Twentyfour teenagers in one room meant snoring symphonies, midnight snack raids and a crash course in diplomacy. It wasn’t The Westcliff…but the shared chaos forged many bonds.

Beyond the laughter and mud-stained memories, Kwalata became the backdrop for our grade’s unity. Plays and war-cries brought us together, proving that even in the midst of chaos, we could find harmony.

Facilitators, you deserve a standing ovation. Your kindness turned challenges into opportunities for growth. Patience, teamwork, and communication weren’t just camp activities; they were life skills that we’ll carry with us.

Tuck shop, our haven of snacks and sweets, became the centre of our culinary adventures. Forget gourmet dining; we mastered the art of combining chips, chocolates, and energy drinks into a feast fit for kings.

We discovered Footloose - the dance that left us with sore feet and a newfound appreciation for those who can actually dance. Then, there was Maze - the confusion where we discovered that teamwork and communication was the only way out – or risk spending eternity lost in Kwalata!

And the phone ban? Brilliant. Turns out, the real adventure was happening right in front of us, not on our screens.

Kwalata, you’ve left us with mud-stained memories, newfound skills and friendships that can withstand even the wildest of Sockey games.

SCHOOL SONG

In the morning of my life

I shall look to the sunrise, At a moment in my life

When the world is new, And the blessing I shall ask Is that God will grant me, To be brave and strong and true, And to fill the world with love

My whole life through.

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love

My whole life through.

In the noontime of my life

I shall look to the sunshine.

At a moment in my life

when the sky is blue,

And the blessing I shall ask will

Remain unchanging

To be brave and strong and true, And to fill the world with love

My whole life through

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love

My whole life through.

In the evening of my life

I shall look to the sunset, At a moment in my life

When the night is due

And the question I shall ask

Only I can answer

Was I brave and strong and true?

Did I fill the world with love

My whole life through?

Did I fill the world with love,

Did I fill the world with love,

Did I fill the world with love, My whole life through
