HEADMASTER’S FINAL FAREWELL SPEECH

Reflecting on my 22-year journey with this incredible institution, I find a profound connection between my experiences and the beautiful words of our College song, “Fill the World with Love.”

2

Headmaster’s Final Farewell Speech

In the morning of my career, much like the sunrise, I was filled with the excitement and promise of new beginnings. The world of education was fresh and full of possibilities. As the song beautifully expresses, I sought the blessing to be brave, strong, and true, and to fill the world with love my whole life through. This early stage was about laying a foundation, not just for myself, but for the countless young minds that passed through these halls.

As I moved into the noontime of my tenure, symbolized by the bright, steady sunshine, I found my role evolving. The sky was blue, and my mission remained unchanged: to be brave, strong, and true. It was during these years that I saw the fruits of our collective labour – students achieving, teachers inspiring, and a community growing. The song’s refrain, to fill the world with love, became my daily mantra as we worked together to build a nurturing environment that fostered both academic excellence and personal growth.

Now, as I approach the evening of my professional life, I look to the sunset with a sense of fulfilment. The moments of night drawing near remind me of the natural closure that follows a day well spent. The poignant question the song poses, “Was I brave and strong and true? Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?” resonates deeply with me. Over the past 22 years, I have strived to embody these values in every decision, every challenge, and every triumph we have faced together.

To our beloved students, remember that every morning of your life is a chance to look to the sunrise with hope and determination. Be brave, be strong, and be true in all your endeavours’. To my dedicated colleagues, continue to look to the sunshine, bringing light and warmth into the lives of those you teach. And to the entire St Peter’s College community, may you always seek to fill the world with love, in every phase of life, just as our College song inspires us to do.

As I say goodbye, I carry with me the love and lessons we have shared. I am confident that this institution will continue to thrive and grow, guided by the timeless principles encapsulated in our song.

As I reach the closing chapter of this remarkable journey, I find myself looking back, cherishing the good times—the countless moments of laughter, growth, and inspiration. The bad times? We’ll leave those behind. And now, like many of you, I think about the future. We start to wonder, “What’s next? Where will I be in ten years?” But I say to you, “Please, don’t worry too much about that.”

Life moves fast, far quicker than we realize. My time here, just like yours, has been fleeting—a blink, really. But if you ever find yourself in a moment of uncertainty, look to the fields, the courts, the classrooms, where students still run, learn, and dream. Think of the joy, the lessons learned, and the countless lives touched.

And when you’re overwhelmed, look to the evening sky. When the stars shine bright, and a shooting star streaks across the night, remember to make a wish. Think of our school and the community we built together.

Remember the magic in these moments and make your life spectacular, as we all did here—through sports, through passion, through education, and through each other. I know I did and I’m grateful to have shared this journey with all of you.

It’s hard to believe that this chapter is ending. Over the last 22 years, St Peter’s College has become more than just a workplace—it’s been my

B R AV E LY I N T O T H E F U T U R E second home. Every corner of this campus holds a memory, every face has contributed to the story we’ve written together. As I prepare to leave, my heart is filled with immense gratitude for the journey I’ve had here, and I’d like to take a moment to thank the people who have shaped this path.

First and foremost, Debbie Tudhope and Graham Howarth. Over 22 years ago, you sat across from me in an interview and saw something in a young man filled with hope but tempered with some self-doubt. You believed in me, gave me an opportunity, and set in motion the most incredible journey of my career. Your trust became the foundation upon which I built my path at St Peter’s College, and for that, I will always be profoundly grateful. Thank you for seeing the potential in me and for giving me the chance to serve this incredible community.

Debbie, without you and Rick and the unwavering support and vision you both brought to the College, St Peter’s would not be the exceptional institution it is today. The foundations you laid—both in spirit and in infrastructure—have left an indelible mark. Your vision for building the Wahoo Aquatics Centre was nothing short of transformative. It not only put St Peter’s College on the map but also set a standard of excellence that continues to inspire us all. That legacy lives on to this day in the capable hands of Mike van Hille.

To Father Trevor Prince, my constant source of wisdom and spiritual guidance from the very beginning. Fr Trevor, you’ve been there for every triumph and every challenge, offering me support, encouragement, and unwavering faith. You’ve helped me to keep my feet on the ground, and in difficult times, you reminded me to lead with humility, compassion, and grace.

Throughout your time with us, you have shown unwavering dedication and your commitment to upholding the values of our faith has been a guiding light for us all. Your words of wisdom and compassionate guidance have touched the lives of countless individuals, offering solace in times of need and inspiring hope in times of challenge. I can attest to this on a personal level, and I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the unwavering support and spiritual guidance you provided to me and my family, especially during the challenging time during Miguel’s cancer journey. Your wisdom and compassion were a guiding light for Vanessa and I, and we will forever be grateful for your presence in our lives.

To the late Mike Ilsley, the then-Chairman of Council, who believed in me when very few did. Mike, took a chance on me, appointing me as Headmaster almost 10 years ago. He saw something in me that, at times, I wasn’t even sure of myself. His faith in my leadership gave me the opportunity to lead this College with purpose and pride. I am forever grateful for the confidence he placed in me, and I hope I have lived up to the trust he invested. I would like to take a moment to also sincerely thank Jenny Leclezio, who, as the Head of the College HR Subcommittee at the time, played a pivotal role in supporting my appointment as the Headmaster of St Peter’s College. Jenny, your guidance, dedication, and collaboration with Mike Ilsley during that process meant the world to me and laid the foundation for what has been an incredible journey.

Your belief in my vision and leadership made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the trust and support you extended to me.

I want to give a special mention to Lynda Kirkland and Cath Dracatos.

You both started this journey with me 22 years ago, and your unwavering support and friendship over the years have meant the world to me. We’ve seen this College grow and evolve together, and I wouldn’t have made it through many of the difficult days without your encouragement. You’ve stood by me through it all, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

To the iconic Izak Botha, a man I have had the privilege of journeying with across three schools. Izak, we began this adventure as two young, impressionable teachers, eager to make a difference in education.

Through the years, your support and friendship have been constant, and you have truly been a gem—both as an educator and as a human being.

Your integrity, your passion for education, and your kindness have made an immeasurable impact on me. You are one of the finest people I know, and I am incredibly fortunate to have shared this journey with you.

As I reflect on my incredible journey at St Peter’s College, I would be remiss not to acknowledge one of the key pillars of my support and success during these years: Shelly Matthews. For two decades, Shelly walked this path with me, not only as an exceptional colleague but also as a cherished friend. Shelly, your unwavering support, wise counsel, and genuine friendship have meant the world to me. You have been a steadfast presence through the triumphs and challenges, always leading with grace and integrity. As Deputy Headmistress of Academics, you set a benchmark of excellence that transformed the academic landscape of the College. Under your leadership, the academic standards at St Peter’s College improved exponentially. Your tireless commitment to innovation, your meticulous attention to detail, and your dedication to our students’ success have left an indelible mark on this institution.

It has been one of my greatest privileges to work alongside you, and I cannot thank you enough for the profound impact you have had on my journey and on the College. I will carry the memories of our partnership and friendship with me always.

I want to take a moment to recognize and thank Brian Armitage, who has walked alongside me for the past 18 years. Brian, you are, without a doubt, the finest Head of Student Affairs in South Africa. Your ability to connect with students, to understand them, and to guide them is unmatched. Not only are you a superb educator, but your sense of humour, wisdom, and insight have made this journey so much richer for me. And, of course, I can’t forget to mention—you also happen to know a thing or two about rugby! Thank you for your unwavering support, your friendship, and for always being there when it mattered most.

To our incredible executive team, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude. To Fr. Kabelo Motlhakane, our Chaplain, Head of Transformation, and undisputed Head of Fashion at St Peter’s College — thank you for your spiritual guidance and leadership in fostering inclusivity. Your wardrobe is as inspiring as your sermons, Father! St Peter’s is blessed to have a Chaplain who can not only deliver the gospel but also serve looks that would make Paris Fashion Week jealous.

ST PETER’S COLLEGE 2024 Sasha Govender, our Marketing Manager, your dedication and creativity have strengthened the St Peter’s College brand and positioned us for continued growth. Mervin Naidoo, our Business Manager, thank you for your steady hand and strategic insight, which have ensured the College’s financial stability. St Peter’s College is in excellent hands, and I have no doubt the school will continue to thrive under your leadership.

A special word of thanks to Toni Minnie, our Human Resources Manager.

Toni, your unwavering support of me as Headmaster has been a pillar of strength, but above all, I am profoundly grateful for your friendship. Your kindness and wisdom have made a lasting impact on me, and I will always cherish the bond we share.

Thank you, Ryan Hammond, for your unwavering commitment and passion for academics at St Peter’s College. Your innovative approach and collaborative efforts have been instrumental in driving academic excellence and supporting both students and staff. Your dedication is truly appreciated, and we are grateful for the meaningful impact you continue to make.

Now, to two remarkable individuals who have served this College even longer than I have—Dario Doneda and Lovemore Ngobene. Dario, your passion for drama and the arts has inspired countless students over the years. Your creativity, dedication, and ability to bring out the best in everyone who steps onto the stage have made the Dario Doneda Drama Studio a cornerstone of our school’s cultural life. Lovemore, you have quietly been the backbone behind so much of what we do at St Peter’s.

Your tireless work in the Lovemore Ngobene Print Room has ensured that everything runs smoothly, and you have been a constant, reliable presence for as long as I can remember. Both of you are true legends at this school, and your contributions will be remembered for generations to come.

As I reflect on my journey at St Peter’s College, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the heart and soul of this campus— our facilities team. To our extraordinary Facilities Manager, John Mabvira, and the entire facilities team, I want you to know how much I respect and admire the work you do. You are the backbone of this College, ensuring that every corner of our campus runs smoothly, safely, and beautifully.

While every member of the team has played a vital role in the success of this College, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge three individuals who hold a special place in this community. Bra Dumi and Victor Gumbo, who has been here even longer than I have, your years of service and loyalty to St Peter’s are nothing short of inspiring. And to Ma Jo, your passion for the College shines through in everything you do.

I want to take a moment to personally thank Dave Short for the many years of dedication and outstanding contribution you have made to St Peter’s College. Your commitment and leadership in the Sports Department have been truly exceptional. The superb job that you, Christelle and your team are doing in taking our sports program to even greater heights is evident in the achievements of our students and the pride they have in representing the College. Your vision and passion have not only enhanced our sports offering but also strengthened the values and spirit of our community.

Please know how much your hard work is valued and appreciated. I am confident that the future of sport at St Peter’s College will continue to thrive under your guidance.

I am reminded of the early days when this wonderful space was just beginning to take shape. Those were fledgling times when we had very little but a vision and the determination to make it a reality. I had the privilege of sharing those formative years with two of our iconic and legendary founding members, Lisa Ann Hayes and Adam Dobson, our then Deputy Headmaster of Academics. What a long way we have all come since those days of humble beginnings, and how remarkable it has been to witness the transformation of St Peter’s College into the institution it is today.

To Adam and Lisa, your friendship and unwavering support over the years have been invaluable to me. You have both been pillars of this community,

Headmaster’s Final Farewell Speech

shaping not only the school but also the lives of countless students and colleagues. You will always remain institutions at St Peter’s College, and your impact will be felt for generations to come.

And Lisa, it would be remiss of me not to invoke a quote from your favourite, Winnie The Pooh, which feels so apt for this occasion: “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” Truly, I am incredibly fortunate to have shared this journey with you.

And of course, to every staff member who has been part of this journey – there are too many too mention. Whether you’ve been here for a few months or for the entire two decades, your passion and dedication to St Peter’s College have been the heartbeat of this community. I am proud of the incredible team we’ve built together, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the lives we’ve impacted. Each one of you has a story to tell with me—a moment shared, a lesson learned, or a challenge tackled together—and I am deeply grateful for the journey we have walked side by side. You have gone above and beyond for the students and for one another, and that is the legacy you will carry forward long after I’m gone.

To the students, past and present, you are the reason we do what we do.

Your energy, curiosity, and growth have been the greatest reward of my career. Watching you develop from shy Grade 8s into confident young adults ready to take on the world has been a privilege. Each of you leaves a mark on this school, and I hope that in some way, I have left a mark on you too.

To the entire St Peter’s community: parents, alumni, and everyone who has walked this journey with us. Thank you for your trust, your support, and your unwavering belief in what we stand for.

I now want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to my family, who have been my anchor throughout my journey at St Peter’s College. To my wife, Vanessa, and my son, Miguel, thank you for your unwavering love, patience, and support. I know that my tenure here has required countless hours away from home—hours that should have been spent with you. There were sacrifices made, moments missed, and times when my responsibilities here weighed heavily on all of us. But through it all, you stood by me, encouraging me to pursue my dreams and dedicate myself fully to this incredible school.

Now, as this chapter closes, it’s time for me to give back to you—the family who has always been my foundation. It’s time to be more present, to share more moments, and to give you the time and attention you so deeply deserve. Vanessa, your strength and understanding have been my rock. Miguel, your energy and joy have been a constant reminder of what truly matters in life. Without both of you, I could not have achieved what I did here at St Peter’s College. You are my greatest blessing, and I am so grateful to now turn my focus back to the family that means everything to me. Thank you for walking this journey with me. This next chapter is for you.

As I step away from this role, my heart is full. Full of gratitude for the people who shaped me, full of pride for the legacy we’ve built together, and full of hope for the future of this incredible school. St Peter’s College will always be a part of who I am, and though I may no longer walk these halls, a piece of me will always remain here. Thank you all for everything.

I will miss you dearly, but I leave knowing that the spirit of St Peter’s will continue to thrive, in each of you, for many years to come.

I have written this poem which reflects my deep pride in the relationships I have fostered, my gratitude for the staff and students, and my belief in the enduring power of the 4Rs and the Anglican foundation that guides St Peter’s College forward.

WHERE THE BELLS OF ST PETER’S RING

In the halls of St Peter’s, where sacred bells chime, We’ve journeyed together, through heart, soul, and time.

With faith as our compass, and love as our guide, We’ve nurtured a spirit that won’t be denied.

Relationships first, the bonds that we share, A family of hearts, in both joy and in care.

With each smile and embrace, we’ve built something strong, A unity that will last, as life carries on.

B R AV E LY I N T O T H E F U T U R E Our school motto, In Futurum Fortiter—”Bravely into the Future”— perfectly captures the spirit of this remarkable school. It reminds us to step forward with courage, purpose, and unwavering determination, no matter the road ahead. St Peter’s College has always been a place where we nurture bold thinkers, compassionate leaders, and resilient individuals who are unafraid to face the future with strength.

As I embark on a new chapter of my life, I take comfort in the words of Isaiah 40:31, my favourite Bible verse: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” These words have carried me through difficult times and inspired me to keep going, trusting in the Lord’s guidance and strength.

To the staff, students, parents, and everyone who has walked this journey with me—thank you. Thank you for your trust, your belief in our shared vision, and your commitment to making St Peter’s College the extraordinary place it is today. This is not goodbye but rather a heartfelt farewell as I leave with a deep sense of pride and an even deeper faith in the bright future that lies ahead for all of you.

May you continue to soar on wings like eagles, bravely into the future.

In Futurum Fortiter.

Rui Morais Headmaster

With Respect as our mantle, we honour each name, Every story, each voice, without fear or shame.

Through our Anglican roots, we’ve learned how to see, The dignity in all, the strength to be free.

Resilience we’ve shown, when the road became tough, Through trials and storms, we stayed strong enough.

In moments of doubt, we held to our faith, And found in each other a shelter, a place.

Our Anglican heritage rich, in Christ we have found, A foundation of hope, where love is unbound.

With hands raised in prayer, and hearts full of grace, We’ve grown in His light; we’ve run a good race.

To the staff, who have given their wisdom and care, You’ve lit every path with your kindness laid bare.

You’ve shaped every dream, you’ve nurtured each flame, Your legacy here is more than a name.

To the students, now ready to rise and to soar, Remember these values, they’ll open each door.

Wherever you wander, wherever you roam, These pillars of St Peter’s will always be home.

Though I take my leave, my heart stays behind, In the memories we’ve crafted, the futures we’ve signed.

So carry this torch, in your hands let it gleam, For St Peter’s lives on, in each hope, in each dream.

IN FUTURUM

Responsibility calls, in our hands it is held, To lead and to serve, where wisdom has dwelled.

In classrooms, on fields, and beyond every wall, We’ve learned to stand tall, when we stumble or fall.

EXECUTIVE MEMBERS Revd. Kabelo Motlhakane

CHAPLAIN AND HEAD OF TRANSFORMATION & INCLUSION

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.

Rui Morais

HEADMASTER

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 fulfilment 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.

Executive Members

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.”

BUSINESS MANAGER

Armed with a B Compt degree and being a passionate finance and project professional, Mervin has delivered key projects during his career thus far. His vision for St Peter’s College is to leverage off this experience, to ensure that the campus becomes an educational institution that reflects innovation, creativity and academic excellence. To achieve this, he believes that we must all - as a community - strive to embrace the ethos that,

“

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation

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 socioeconomic 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.

Lynda Kirkland

OPERATIONS MANAGER

One of the strongest testimonies to the value and integrity of St Peter’s is the 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 takes place way back in its founding days when Lynda’s son, Matthew Kirkland, was one of the Colleges founding students and her initial volunteer work at the school shop, led to her appointment as Personal Assistant to St Peter’s former 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.

In keeping with the school’s ethos Lynda’s roll 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 committee, Lynda also scopes out the College infrastructure for the future to ensure that the College community continues to have a clean, well maintained and safe, campus in which to realise their potential.

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.

Ahead of the Game, Behind every Child.

With a deep respect for the institution’s history of excellence, Ryan aims to continue to uphold the high standards of education on offer at the College and the legacy of innovative approaches to education and the development of 21st century skills. Together with our qualified, passionate and dedicated Head of Department Team and academic staff, they encourage students to work to achieve their best, be agents of change and develop a love for learning.

St Peter’s College boasts 100% pass rate with over 90% of the students attaining Bachelors Degree passes. The College prides itself in our top achievers who attain 8 or more distinctions and are placed in the IEB Top 1% in various subjects. We are equally proud of our students who have faced challenges and adversity during their school career and achieved their personal best at the end of the year.

True Adventure Expedition encourages self-development, leadership development and social interaction. This year students travelled to Romania. True Adventure affords students the opportunity to be responsible for all the arrangements before departure and whilst visiting a foreign country. This includes working within the constraints of a budget whilst also encouraging saving strategies ensuring an even greater experience. Learning to overcome language barriers and cultural differences.

Each student had the opportunity to lead their group at least once and make all the relevant decisions for that day. This is done under strict yet non-invasive supervision where they are allowed to make mistakes in the absence of judgement, learning comes from correcting the errors and being accountable.

True Adventure Expedition develops all the core values of the College, namely, Relationships, Responsibility, Respect and Resilience.

Two participants displayed these values throughout the expedition. They showed resilience and positivity through tough physical challenges; were respectful and considerate to all; displayed maturity and took responsibility individually and for the group; all whilst managing to build relationships with all group members.

The leadership award for TRUE ADVENTURE EXPEDITION, as voted for by the Expedition Facilitator Mr. Colin Wylie.

ROMANIA TOUR 2024

TRUE ADVENTURE

by Keiryn Whitty

FROM A PARENT’S POINT OF VIEW

I am so pleased that we decided to send our daughter on the 2024 True Adventure Trip. Kyra had wanted to do the trip from the very start. Initially, the 2024 destination was meant to be Ecuador, but because of the political riots and violence, True Adventures decided to change it to Romania. I realised that the destination was not the most important factor here; it was the adventure itself my daughter was seeking.

She was at times nervous about the Adventure, but was always excited by it at the same time. She understood that this kind of adventure was not going to be about comfort and luxury — it was going to be something that she had never encountered before and there would be times it might seem like hard work. This never once deterred her from doing the trip. I think this was the secret to Kyra’s gain from the adventure: from the early planning stages, she saw it as a challenge rather than a luxurious, relaxing holiday.

There were times that the trip was difficult for her. The heat and the physical endurance got to her at one point, and she had to dig deep within herself to keep going without a “meltdown”. The one and only time that she called me during the trip was after the most trying and arduous activity- the 3-day hike. The happiness and elation in her voice to have conquered the challenge was something completely new for her. She was ultra-pleased it was over, but equally thrilled that she had accomplished it. Her words to me when she got home were: “I will feel a closeness to the other girls and the teacher (who were on that hike) for the rest of my life because of what we went through together and because of how we relied on each other”.

My daughter knows nothing about cooking. She knows a lot about helping to clean up after meals, and that seemed to stand her in good stead whilst on the adventure. Apparently, she did a lot of washing dishes and, when she got home, she was REALLY pleased that we have a dishwasher. She also came home with some new cooking ideas which she had learnt from other kids in the meal planning — such as tomato relish, aubergine pasta sauce and savoury mince.

KYRA LEARNT AND INTERNALISED CERTAIN SKILLS SUCH AS: * working with other teenagers * being on time for meals and departures * checking air tickets and boarding passes * solving problems and making decisions on a daily basis * managing a budget with her peers There is no doubt that Kyra gained confidence and independence that will stand her in good stead — particularly in the months and years after Matric. Ms Theron is an expert in allowing the children to make mistakes and learn from them. She is like another pupil in disguise, and only switches to teacher/authoritarian mode when absolutely necessary ie: for safety reasons. In this way, the children really “learn by doing”. They are given the freedom to make decisions and plan for the group.

I am so glad that my daughter Kyra had the chance to do this Adventure. It gave her a unique opportunity that not many other children get. She will be quite fine when travelling alone in the future. The Romania Adventure has made me certain about that.

ROMANIA TOUR 2024

EXPLORING THE COUNTRY ROMANIA

by Nathan Dlamini and Kyra Whitty

This August, a group of students went on a life-changing trip to Romania, where they immersed themselves in the local culture, worked on community projects, and visited the breath-taking natural landscapes.

Our journey began in a picturesque village, where we worked with local residents to improve a children’s after-school program. This project not only allowed us to positively impact the community, but it also provided us with a better awareness of the issues that rural areas in Romania confront. During our stay in the village, we had the opportunity to see local attractions such as a beer and chip factory. The visits taught us about traditional Romanian craftsmanship and how important these sectors are to the local economy. It was an eye-opening experience.

After our stay in the village, we travelled to the stunning Carpathian Mountains for the hiking phase of our journey. Our group went up to a cosy mountain hut, where we stayed for a few days of exploring. Every day, we went on short hikes to connect with nature and admire the breath-taking views surrounding us. The friendship that developed during these climbs produced a sense of unity among our group as we handled both difficult trails and calm paths.

One of the most unforgettable moments of our trip was our visit to a bear sanctuary in Brasov, where we were able to adopt a bear named Alexander.

Learning about the sanctuary’s objective to rehabilitate bears that were rescued from captivity was both moving and inspiring. We left with a better understanding of wildlife conservation and the significance of protecting these gorgeous species.

Our trip also included excursions to numerous castles throughout the region, where we learnt about Romania’s rich history and architectural splendour. The imposing size of each castle amazed us and inspired discussions about the cultural value of these historical sites.

The final phase of our journey took us to Bucharest, where we saw the Parliament Building, which is known as the world’s heaviest building.

Standing in front of this magnificent structure, we were struck by the ambition and history that had gone into its construction. It was an appropriate finish to our adventure, reminding us of the intricate balance between progress and preservation.

Overall, this trip was not just an adventure; it was a transformative experience that taught us valuable lessons about community service, environmental stewardship, and cultural heritage. We returned home with not only memories and new friendships but also a renewed sense of purpose and responsibility toward both our local and global communities.

Romania’s beauty and resilience will forever hold a special place in our hearts, inspiring us to continue making a difference wherever we go.

GRADE 8 CAMP

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

by Elijah-Joe Smith and Gugu Moyo

Grade 8 Camp

B R AV E LY I N T O T H E F U T U R E

Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the end of our first year of high school. As Neil Armstrong once said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Grade 8 has only been a small step in our schooling career, yet it serves as a giant leap towards the remaining 4 years of our high school journey. Let us rewind to where it all began!

The first day of high school: A whirl wind of emotions. From scurrying to find our classes to being pushed out of the tuck-shop line, Grade 8 presented a myriad of obstacles. Adapting to a brand-new environment allowed us not only to grow as individuals but granted us the opportunity to make new friends; with people just as nervous as ourselves. As the weeks passed, awkward conversations transitioned into lunch times spent together and eventful sport practices.

Our next challenge: Grade 8 camp, three days filled with lifelong memories and unforgettable experiences. Through the days we conquered disgusting mud, an exhilarating zip line and the true test of teamwork. Our new friendships were put to the test as we discovered more about each other, revealing our strengths and weaknesses. The weekend away provided us with a growth-mindset and a new and hopeful attitude towards the term.

The trip home signified the closure of our orientation week; now we were set for our first academic day. Blazers on and a smile from ear to ear; we entered our first assembly confidently ringing the bell that embarked us on our new journey. Supported by the cheers of the whole St Peter’s College community we sat in the back of the hall not knowing what to do just yet but not feeling out of place. We were delighted to hear that the College was a nurturing environment that gave us the opportunity to reach our full potential and experiment with new-found interests.

Heading into term 2 we had found our footing, but the daunting thought of exams was upon us. As we geared up to exams the sleepless nights and morning rituals prepared us for the day. Our first exam, arriving early, we nervously stood in our register lines anticipating the paper that awaited us.

After three weeks of stress and late nights our first examination process was over. We were now looking forward to St Peter’s most important event of the year.

Sports and Culture festival, four days of excitement, school spirit and rivalry. SPC fest provided all of us with the opportunity to be a part of our school’s largest event. Whether it was playing with pride on the sports field, performing a melody up on stage or working behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone had a place whether performing or cheering in the crowd. This festival served as an empowering moral boost as we headed into our final term of the year and our final exams of Grade 8.

Grade 8 was more than just our first year of high school, it has been a year filled with new experiences, lessons, friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime. Grade 8 has taught us to value and strive for the “Four R’s”. Resilience, Relationship, Respect and Responsibility. These values will continue to guide us through our high school career. Thank you Grade 8 for being our first step into what lies ahead.

MY CAMP EXPERIENCE

by Zazi Vilakazi

82

B R AV E LY I N T O T H E F U T U R E

Camp is perhaps one of the most cherished experiences of childhood. It is a place where lifelong friendships are formed, and memories that last a lifetime are made. The joy and excitement that accompany camp are unparalleled, and I recently had the pleasure of attending a camp that truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived until the time I reluctantly left, I was engrossed in a whirlwind of dancing, mud spar, and exhilarating water activities.

As soon as we stepped off the bus we were greeted by the enthusiastic camp counsellors, I knew that an incredible adventure awaited us. The vibrant atmosphere was palpable, and the energy of the staff was infectious. My anticipation for the upcoming days grew, and I couldn’t wait to dive into all the exciting activities that were planned for us.

Dancing was an integral part of our camp experience. The talented instructors taught us various dance styles, from hip-hop to salsa, and every day we had the opportunity to showcase our newly acquired skills. The time we had to dance was not only a chance to learn new moves but also a way to express ourselves and connect with others. The camaraderie that grew amongst us as we twirled and swayed to the music was truly remarkable. When we were busting a move during the structured dance sessions we would gather around the person or people who were showing off their skills, the joy and laughter that filled the air was infectious.

But it wasn’t just the dancing that brought us together; it was also the mud spar. I had never participated in a mud spar before, and I must admit I was initially hesitant. However, once I mustered up the courage to coat myself in mud, I realised what I had been missing out on. The sheer exhilaration of being covered in mud filled the air with invigorating caveman noises.

The sight of everyone coated in mud, laughing created a sense of unity and adventure that words cannot adequately describe. It was a messy affair, but the memories and bonds formed during that muddy situation are forever etched in my mind.

Of course, no camp experience would be complete without water activities.

From throwing water at one another to swimming in a pristine pool, we were spoiled for choice when it came to aquatic adventures. The cool water brought relief from the summer heat, and the thrill of water waves and splashing around with friends was pure bliss. The water activities not only provided a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life but also fostered teamwork and a sense of accomplishment. We were breaking our boundaries of being strangers by working together and navigating our blindfolded teammates to get water into a cup and throw it at the opposing team. The water activities taught us valuable life lessons while offering endless fun and enjoyment. Thanks to Sediba-Kwele.

As I reflect on my camp experience, the memories of dancing, the mud spar, and water activities bring a smile to my face. The laughter, friendships, and sheer happiness that permeated every aspect of camp continue to fill my heart with warmth. It was a time of growth and self-discovery. Camp allowed me to step outside my comfort zone, to try new things, and to form lasting connections with people from all walks of life. I encourage others to embrace this enchanting world of endless possibilities. It was an epic first page of a chapter in my new school of wonders, St Peter’s College that my friends and I will forever cherish, and one that I encourage every child to experience.

GRADE 9 CAMP

WE JUST SURVIVED THE KWALATA CRAZINESS, AND LET’S JUST SAY,

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. Twenty-four 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.

Foot Loose, the dance that left us with sore feet and a newfound appreciation for those who can actually dance. Maze, the confusion where we discovered that teamwork and communication were 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.

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.

THE GRADE 10S VENTURE ON A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

And into the mountains I go to lose my mind and find my soul - John Muir

On January 23, 2024, the Grade 10 students embarked on a transformative five-day camp in the picturesque Drakensberg, organised by the School of Leadership. Excitement and a touch of nervousness hung in the air as buses bound for BergVenture and Mahai camps were loaded.

86

Grade 10 Camp

Accompanied by our dedicated teachers, we navigated through challenging hikes, enjoyed thrilling activities and participated in thought-provoking leadership and self-reflection workshops. The camp aimed to help us discover our identity and purpose in life, fostering new friendships and strengthening existing bonds along the way.

Situated in Monks Cowl, BergVenture greeted us with a muddy 12km hike to the summit of the Sphinx, where a refreshing swim in a waterfall pool awaited. At Mahai, situated in Royal Natal National Park, we immersed ourselves in the full camping experience under the stars. Our adventures included a challenging 5km hike to Tiger Falls and an unforgettable 16km Gorge Walk, offering breathtaking views.

Morning reflections set the tone for each day, while inspirational talks like, “You Were Born a Winner” and uplifting forgiveness workshops left a lasting impact. Amidst stunning views, crisp mountain air, and the purest water, we formed enduring bonds, gained profound insights about ourselves, and created memories that will endure long after our footsteps fade.

Our Grade 10 camp was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, fostering a growth mindset as we venture into the future, enriched by the lessons learned and the camaraderie shared amidst the beauty of the Drakensberg.

B R AV E LY I N T O T H E F U T U R E

by Brooke Roelofsz At Drakensberg Leadership Camp, every day was filled with thrilling activities designed to challenge and inspire us. A highlight was the leadership workshops led by experienced facilitators. These sessions delved into various aspects of leadership, including effective communication, empowerment and conflict resolution. Through interactive discussions and engaging exercises, we gained valuable insights and practical skills that we could apply both at camp and in our everyday lives. Beyond the activities, what truly made Drakensberg Leadership Camp special was the sense of camaraderie and the lifelong friendships that were formed. We lived together, shared meals and supported each other through every challenge.

Throughout my time at the camp, I learned invaluable lessons that have shaped my leadership journey. I discovered the power of resilience, adaptability and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. I also learned that leadership is not about being in charge but rather about empowering others, listening to their perspectives and fostering a collaborative environment.

OUTREACH 2024

by Disha Sawarjith and Heinrich Ohlhoff

For the 2024 Outreach, the Grade 11s of St Peter’s went to the St Gabriel’s Church in Florida. Over the course of a week, the Grade 11 students were able to completely renew the church and bring life back into the community. The church is a beautiful place that is well regarded within the community in Florida and the renovations gave something back to the church, that does so much for its community.

During my 3 days at house build, I saw the church completely transform.

Originally there were many small things that subtracted from the appeal of the church, for instance, many of the flower pots were covered in chipped paint and the plants were filled with weeds. The gardens of the church were overgrown and not properly maintained. All of this combined made the church look in dire need of some care, and as my peers and I started working on the church over the many days, the hard work we put in had paid off; the church had become vibrant and filled with joy, I could even see how happy the members of the church were to see the church they love get the attention and care it deserves. Everyone who attended the church on the last day of house build was in love and in awe of the changes made. Working on this project, I saw first hand the love and care that the pastors and members of the church have for the space, and seeing how joyous people were to see the renovations, I couldn’t help but be happy with them and to share the joy they were feeling. For me, Outreach 2024 was something that I truly enjoyed and I’m thankful I was able to take part in it.

Grade 11 * Outreach 2024

Every Grade 11 student was given the opportunity to do two days of service. I decided I wanted to see more so I participated in 3 days. The first day was tough, and I originally thought that we were wasting our time on the small things, such as the chips on flower pots. Taking out a sugar cane plant felt insignificant; I wanted to do more to make a bigger impact on individuals. Everything changed on the last day, when we were given the opportunity to attend a service with members of the church.

The members were in awe. The small changes that seemed insignificant to many of us, completely altered their view of the church. Carlos Santana once said “There is no greater reward than working from your heart, and making a difference in the world”. My heart warmed at seeing how happy we made members of the church. We had tea time with them, and hearing their stories of struggle and journey with Jesus Christ, made a profound impact on me, and so many other students.

St Gabriel’s Church taught us so many valuable life lessons. It showed us to be grateful for things that make us comfortable, and for the things that make us feel at home. A swipe of paint may seem small, a vegetable garden that is well maintained may seem insignificant, but these things can completely change the way someone else looks at the world. Serving others is the only way to live because Albert Einstein himself said that “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile”. As teenagers in this big world, we often struggle with our identity, and making an impact in this world. These three days at St Gabriel’s Church showed us that we do not have to make some grand gesture. Simply participating in community service can completely change someone’s life.

SPIRITUAL ETHOS

St Peter’s College is an Anglican Christian institution. We are affiliated to the Anglican Diocese of Johannesburg. The Bishop of the Diocese is the Spiritual Head and Visitor on the Council.

As an Anglican Christian institution, we espouse the values that Jesus Christ taught. We aim to equip our students with a holistic education that encompasses the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social aspects. Most days begin with a reading from the Holy Scriptures, prayer, weekly Chapel services and on high days, we celebrate the Eucharist. We believe that the soul of the school is upheld in how we honour God.

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?
