REPORT

Executive Principal

We live in tumultuous times, characterised by social upheaval and sometimes necessary challenges to questionable systems and traditions. Taken to an extreme, this can however allow license for the individual to live life according to his or her own inclination or selection of norms and values, which in the end leads to confusion and societal collapse. “There must be something more, something that will temper the otherwise unchecked impulses of which men are capable. There must be something outside and above man to which he will willingly defer.” 1 I’m so glad that the something more in my life is the person of Jesus Christ, and not just a philosophy or set of rules to aspire to. I’m so glad that we don’t just defer to Him, but follow Him as the Lord and Creator of our lives and everything around us. 2 As the world becomes a more confusing place, we cling ever more tightly to Jesus, by whose power the universe holds steady. “On Christ the solid rock we stand; all other ground is sinking sand.” In one of the most turbulent times in history, I appeal to you and your families to take heart and remember the things which we truly value. One of the foundation scriptures of Christian Education is: Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your mind, with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 5:6-7 I believe that now, more than ever, we need to be revisiting and reaffirming these fundamentals of our faith and beliefs, as we walk into a future which is uncertain. Probably the most important person that you can lead to Christ, is your child, and this first verse of a hymn written decades ago, speaks about winning the lost and the need for prayer in these endeavours.

Facing a task unfinished That drives us to our knees A need that, undiminished Rebukes our slothful ease We, who rejoice to know Thee Renew before Thy throne The solemn pledge we owe Thee To go and make Thee known 3 I am so grateful to the Lord for the men and women whom God has called to our school as we assist parents in this huge task of raising children who know and love Him. Although the time and commitment which have been sown into the children of Hatfield Christian School this past year is vast, it still feels (in some ways) insufficient to meet their needs. However, together with you as parents, we have sown seeds which we trust that God will cause flourish in His time. As families and individuals, may we look back one day on this unusual season as one of extraordinary growth. Please join us as we pray for your children, that together, both home and school will accurately portray and reflect the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray that our children will come to know and accept Him as the Lord of their lives. Pray that we will not sow seeds of confusion and hypocrisy, but seeds that will bring forth a harvest which glorifies the King of kings. Graeme Holloway

REPORT

School Council

We ended 2018 with much anticipation for 2019 and we certainly have not been disappointed. We are grateful for God’s goodness and the faithfulness of His people in our school community. The School Council, together with the School Executive, were able to initiate several new projects during the year. Two new classrooms have been built which will ensure that we have enough classroom capacity for the next few years. We are also investigating an upgrade to some of our sports facilities and look forward to being able to share our plans in the new year. We are grateful to the Lord that we find ourselves in a sound financial situation, being able to expand amidst the current economic realities. We have also engaged in a strategic and scenario planning process during the year with a broader staff leadership team. Whilst we have not concluded this journey, we have laid a solid foundation from which to build and plan going forward. Many highlights and achievements will be shared in the rest of this yearbook, each one being noteworthy. I want to echo what Mr Mandla Mthembu highlighted at our High School awards evening, the importance and value of a Christian education. The world we live in, and more so, the world our children will grow up in, will become more complex and challenging. Those with Godly character and solid Biblical values will find themselves better able to stand and adapt appropriately to the tides of change. The school leadership has offered exceptional staff, pupil and parent training this year, to help us meet the realities of this change.

REPORT

We are privileged to Train Leaders to Serve Nations. We also thank Mrs Leonie Currin for her service on the School Council. Leonie has served as the External Academic Advisor on the Council for the last seven years. She has felt that it is time to end her season in this capacity. We wish her well. On behalf of the School Council, I wish to thank all the staff for serving the pupils and parents with distinction and dedication. The wonderful atmosphere, that is such a hallmark of the school, is largely attributed to the incredible staff who so often go way beyond the call of duty to care for and provide meaningful opportunities for our children. It has again been a privilege for the School Council to serve our community in 2019. Thank you to each one for your contribution to the school. Niel Bester

Pastoral

When I reflect on 2019, I am filled with such joy and hope not only because the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup for the third time, but because their victory reminded me of so many important realities in life that form the foundation of success. I realized, once again, that history will not remember how you stumbled and fell, but how you stood up again and finished. In addition, the “Boks” reminded me that, with hard work and (more importantly) a singular unifying focus, nearly anything is possible. It is for these same reasons that I am filled with joy and excited about all the events that took place here at Hatfield Christian School this past year. I saw many students making good decisions each day, picking themselves back up and working hard towards the goals they had set for themselves. Even more so, it is inspiring to see students going even further and abandoning themselves to the purposes of God. I never thought I would see the day that nearly every High School student would respond to the invitation of the Lord: but, in 2019, I did. It reminded me of what Jesus said to His disciples: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”. (Matt 9:37, NIV). Our students are hungry for the things of God and my prayer is that, as a school community, we will not only meet their needs but that we will also be ready to send them

into the field to share the invitation of Christ with everyone who is willing to listen. Lastly, 2019 made me realise again that as Rassie Erasmus and his team worked behind the scenes to orchestrate the Springbok’s success, Hatfield Christian School leaders, in turn, have done the same in working towards the success of our school. It is such a blessing to serve with leaders who are Spirit-filled and who are dedicated to the purposes of God. Their true desire is to see others shine and they find meaning and pleasure from this because they enjoy seeing others succeed. The formula for succeeding is not always difficult, but it always requires dedication. Jesus called us to love one another which is not hard to agree with, but hard to do every day. Dawie Thomas

EVENTS

Mother’s Day We had a special morning with our moms and grannies on our Mother’s Day morning at school. Mrs Barber shared with us from 1 Corinthians 13:4: “Love is patient, love is kind…” and reminded our moms of the amazing job that they are doing. The children delighted their moms and grannies with a song and we got them moving with a dance, which caused much laughter. They decorated their tins with sticks that they painted themselves and added beautiful details such as sparkly stars and ribbons. The end product (with the succulents) looked beautiful and the children were very proud of their creations. We ended off the morning with cupcakes and a picnic on the Junior Primary playground. The children loved the quality time with their moms and grannies and will remember this event for a long time to come!

HEADS REPORT “Character counts”, is the first phrase that comes to mind when I think about the past year. In 2019, the Primary School added a new focus to the programme we are developing, working on building key characteristics in our children. Our champion teachers for the focus months did a sterling job of getting us all ‘thinking about, talking about and being Courageous, Connected, Committed, Creative, Considerate, Self-controlled and ChristLike’. It is such a privilege to be in a school where we begin the week with worshipping the Lord in chapel on a Monday morning, and where the thread of discipleship runs through the rest of the week. These aspects are key differentiators to a rich and full academic, sporting and cultural programme. 2019 also involved saying farewell to a couple of wonderful staff members, and it is through God’s provision that we have equally wonderful people replacing them in 2020. There is much to look forward to! I am grateful to Him for another great year of Training Leaders to Serve Nations and also thankful to the community of staff members and families who has worked so hard to make it that. Yours sincerely Andrew Bleeker

PS Growing on the right track

This year, we introduced the 7 characteristics which we desire all HCS students to have. We embarked on a journey where we stopped and focused on each characteristic, defining what it means and how we can learn to develop it in our lives. Our focus was on becoming: • Considerate • Courageous • Connected • Self-controlled • Creative • Committed • Christ-like “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” Phil 2:13

Easter Celebration

Our JP children had the privilege of taking part in a very special Easter Celebration in April. The theme of the evening was: “Raise a hallelujah at the wedding feast of the lamb.” We went on a three-legged journey. The first one was that of following Jesus’ life from birth to the crucifixion and resurrection. The second one focused on moments around a dining room table and the third part centred on the theme of the bride and the bridegroom. All of this culminated in the wedding feast of the Lamb in the New Jerusalem. Throughout the evening, there were moments where pupils read Scripture verses while others laid the table gradually to fit in with the verses. Miss Jennett and some of our Grade 3 girls danced to Kari Jobe’s “Forever”, portraying the story of the crucifixion and resurrection in a most moving way. Most of the songs were chosen to stick to the “Hallelujah” theme with “Raise a Hallelujah” as the main theme song of the evening. Bradley Loock, one of our Grade 6 pupils, beautifully sang, “Oh Holy City” before the audience stood for the “Hallelujah Chorus” by Handel with some flower girls throwing dried rose petals. School parents, Adelle Maan and Damian Philips, and friends blessed us and added so much to the celebration by joining the singing as a band. The JP team worked very hard to produce decor to create a wedding ceremony atmosphere with parents contributing cupcakes and grape juice for the “reception”. We worship God for the gift of His Son. Hallelujah!

Spotlight on Literacy During the course of 2019 we, as a Primary School, embarked on a new challenge. We focussed on Literacy - specifically our comprehension skills. We were entertained by Redhead Productions with a Zulu show and Afrikaans Boek Buddies shared their talents with us. Grannies, grandpas, aunts and friends sacrificed some of their time to read stories to us and we celebrated with the world on World Read Aloud Day. Our highlight of the year was our annual Speech Festival in which each child shared a prepared poem with his/ her grade. It was a real treat and our adjudicators were overwhelmed by the energy and talent at Hatfield Christian School. This year we created a portfolio showcasing our comprehension growth and involvement in all these tasks. This was proudly displayed for our parents to view.

CAMP

Grade 6

“Camp was interesting! I really enjoyed meeting new people because it adds to my personality. Along with overcoming my fear of heights, my best experience was learning the new dances. This year’s camp taught me to be more social and positive.” Jessy “Camp, generally speaking, was fun but full of obstacle courses. My favourite was the catwalk even though it was really scary. When you jump down it feels as if you are flying. My worst experience was the mud because it got in my mouth. I was courageous when climbing up the mountain, trying not to freak out when some of us got lost. Grade 6 camp helped me to know more about a lot of people and make new friends.” Madison “Camp: It was lots of fun to see other people being brave on many obstacles and being creative keeping cabins clean and safe. My best experience was dancing with my friends. It will be the one thing I’ll never forget and I won’t forget the encouraging shouts as I skimmed up the catwalk. My worst experience was having to go to sleep after a fun-filled day. I overcame my fear of being myself and it was the best experience of my life! Camp brought me together with new friends I made and showed me I could be myself.” Jirah “…The best experience was the low ropes because it was fun and you do it with a friend. The worst part was the night walk because I was tired and it was dark. The part where I was most courageous was going there because I thought it would be horrible. The camp took me out of my comfort zone and that’s good.” Christiaan “The camp was super fun and cool. I met several people and in truth, I had never been on a camp. The best part was when we got dirty with mud and water. That was very funny! And the worst part I think was that sometimes I was very cold at night. Camp taught me to talk more and trust my friends.” Gabriela

HEADS REPORT SOME REFLECTIONS ON 2019 When I think of the many and varied events in the school diary, the variety of random “happenings” that I have to deal with on a daily basis (mostly positive!) and the richness of the unique children and staff that I deal with each day, I often reflect that education is a very rewarding occupation and am so glad that God chose it for me. I truly enjoy my job, and even more so because of the special place that HCS is. I trust that every family is experiencing the same sense of appreciation of what we have here. Talking of diaries, it takes a lot to prepare young people for life these days, and so we find our diaries, timetable and schedules filling up. Apart from our everyday interactions with the students which are opportunities and catalysts for growth and development, there are such worthy programmes that just add such good value in building knowledge, character and wisdom. We do intentionally ensure that what we put in the diary adds true value and we trust that it builds as positively as possible into your child. Years ago I read that the main influences in a young person’s life in order of impact, are: parents, church, school, media. Nowadays, and speaking more generally and globally unless we are intentional, it is more like media, school, parents, church. The media is leading the charge in influencing our children. We lead such busy lives, that our children spend large amounts of time exposed to influences other than us, or what we would choose if we could. I encourage you to be as intentional as you many these days, we must urge them to test what is true by comparing it with the revealed Word. can, and try to mitigate the many, varied and often dubious messages that are crying out for your children’s attention. I recall the story of how bank tellers are trained to recognize fake bank notes. They don’t expose them to fake bank notes. They Truth and righteousness bless those who search after them let them work with and get to know the real ones. When a fake and discover them. They can seem to be too far down on the priority list of children, generally, these days. We must urge our one is slipped into their pile of real ones, they pick up the “feel and look” of the fake one immediately. children to seek after these pearls, by searching for what God has put in front of them to draw them to Himself, but also urge It is always a privilege to partner with families for the common our children to become readers of the Word of God.

HEAD BOY I am honoured to say that I served Hatfield Christian School as the Head Boy of 2019 and I am privileged to write this: firstly, to thank everyone at HCS for the opportunity to learn and secondly, to expound on that which I have learnt. I was in a good place this year where I witnessed the core of leadership and the blood, sweat, tears and laughter that came with it. I learnt that having a vision was essential but having a supporting “backbone”, was critical. I learnt that a confident smile is your most important tool and that you can achieve anything with a heart after God’s own heart. I learnt that a present parent is vitally important and should be the biggest source of positivity for a young leader. Parents, your children are the future so please shower them with love, laughter and support. Students, you are the future so make every moment count! Punch through the ceiling of expectations and kick down the door of negativity! Boys, be the essence of man. Girls, be the women of calling. Never before has there been anyone else like you.

extensively over the course of this year. To help everyone achieve this trait, I thought I might encourage you with the words of Karen Ferry: “Model It”. We are the salt and light of the earth. Together, you need to walk into your heavenly leadership inheritance as we (the old Student Leaders) step down and move out. Remember to take up your responsibility and continue to serve nations. Lastly, I would like to thank HCS, the staff, teachers, Klara, our deputies, fellow Student Leaders, pupils and the dog for allowing us to serve and lead you this year. We wish you all the best as you continue from strength to strength. Thank you for a good year. Joshua Smith

The Miriam-Webster thesaurus defines a “trait” to be “something that sets apart an individual from others of the same kind”. This is amazing to hear because Training Leaders To Serve Nations is a lifelong quest that cannot be done without the trait of servant- heartedness - something I have learnt

HEAD GIRL Nine years later and I still get that great feeling when we drive up the hill to school every morning. Students in every school get to boast about their school in some way or another, but I think few get to call their school a family. It is so easy to feel at home here. So often, when we have guests at our school, they tell us what a special place we have here. Hatfield has left me with memories that I will cherish forever. Thinking back to the break time picnics, singing at the top of our lungs in the quantum on our way to matches, coffee in double Maths, the wise words and tips from Mr Pienaar and the hi-5s from the Grade 7s, leave a smile on my face. A significant part of the happy journey at Hatfield is the friends that we get to make. I am so grateful for all the incredible people that I have had the privilege of meeting. The greatest thanks goes to the teachers, who invest so much into our lives. We are incredibly blessed with such amazing mentors! Hatfield, thank you for allowing me to serve you as Head Girl for 2019 and for all the moments that have found a place in my heart. I pray that God continues to bless this special place abundantly.

MATRIC

Tribute

From the soaring notes of the Singing in the Rain musical, to the champion performances on the sportsfield and the diligent dedication to their academic endeavours, these Matrics gave their best in 2019. Their maturity and love for God shone through in their everyday lives and their earnest endeavours to leave the school a better place than they found it. They did not leave any possibility unexplored, any adventure undiscovered, any coffee undrunk, any hugs not shared or any praises to God, unsung. They stuck with each other through thick and thin and highs and lows and came out stronger on the other side. Their favourite song, from High School Musical, summarises their attitudes and hearts for this year so well: “Together, come on let’s have some fun. Together, we’re there for each other every time. Everyone is special in his own way. We make each other strong. We’re not the same. We’re different in a good way. Together’s where we belong. We’re all in this together. Once we know that we are. We’re all stars. And we see that. We’re all in this together and it shows, when we stand, hand in hand, making our dreams come true.” Matrics of 2019: “You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that the commendable things you do will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:14 – 16 To the Class of 2019, you are leaders who will serve nations, and we salute you.

of significant personal and logistical obstacles. Some have observed that even the fact that she arrives at school every day is extraordinary. More than this, her resolute determination to remain thankful and kind in all circumstances is exemplary. Her strong commitment to the Lord, her unwavering set of values and goals, and her deep appreciation for the opportunities she has been offered, are the driving forces behind her choices. The fact that her peers have consistently recognized her outstanding character, culminating in her election as the next Head Girl of the school, is testament to the extent to which she has overcome.

Die Seuntjie en die Wilde-eendkuiken Beskrywende opstel deur Klara Lange (Gr. 12 -2019) Die son is besig om sy koppie weg te steek en ‘n goue glans verkleur die lae westelike heuwels van die eiland. Tussen die heuwels kronkel ‘n uitgetrapte voetpaadjie waarin ‘n klein seuntjie gelate afstap. Die vars lug laat hom hard en uitbindig lag terwyl dit tussen die heuwels deur weergalm. Die seuntjie was op pad huis toe, toe ‘n voël laag oor sy kop met uitgestrekte nek en pote duik. Vlerke blink in die son se strale. Die oranje aan die voël se pote is duidelik in die sagte gloed sigbaar. Dit is ‘n wilde-eend! Stilletjies hardloop die seuntjie langs die waterstroom op en maak of hy onbewus van die wild-eend se bestaan is. By die plek waar die eend verdwyn, gaan die seuntjie staan en loer tussen die digte riete deur. Die water is nie diep nie, hy sal versigtig kan deurloop. Hy rol sy broekspype op en begin met lang, uitgestrekte treë deur die water loop. Hy is versigtig … amper bang. Sy een broekspyp rol af en beland in die water. Vinnig laat hy sy arms tot in die water sak en rol sy broekspyp weer op. Toe verloor hy balans en slaan plotsende in die water neer. Die eend vlieg met ‘n verwilderde “kwaak” op en verdwyn in die skemer. ‘n Paar oomblikke staan die kind versteen en verskirk net daar; dan klouter hy teen die nat gras op. Uiteindelik kry hy die nes. Die nes is slordig en met droë biesies, strooi en vere gebou. In dié nes lê een eier! Hy tel die mooi gespikkelde eier versigtig op en bewonder dit van nader. Deeglik bewus van sy verkeerde optrede, sit hy die eier vinning, maar baie saggies weer tussen die fluweelveertjies neer. Hy weet hy dit nie moes gedoen het nie en wonder of Maeend nou die eier gaan uitskop. ‘n Ontevredenheid oorval hom en diep binne in hom kla sy optrede hom soos sonde aan. Versigtig vee hy sy spore dood en verlaat dan haastig die area. Vroeg die volgende oggend op pad skool toe, spook die nes en die eier sonder ophou deur sy gedagtes. Daar is ‘n beklemming om sy hart en hy voel naar. “Sou sy die nes verlaat het? Nee, Ma-eens sal nie, ek weet sy sal nie!” Met ‘n kloppende hart hardloop hy direk na die skool

weer vinnig die kronkelende voetpaadjie af nes toe. By die nes staan hy afwagtende op die punte van sy tone en loer senuweeagtig oor die rand van die nes. Elke spier in sy liggaam soos ‘n boog gespan. Ma is op die nes. Die voël beweeg effens en ‘n vereballetjie kruip onder haar uit. Bedwelmd van vreugde en opgewondenheid, juig dit binne in sy hart! Hy trek sy asem diep in, maak asof hy niks gesien het nie en hardloop fluit-fluit met ‘n lied in sy hart terug huis toe.

‘n Geleentheid wat ek nie verby kan laat gaan nie Geskryf deur Amé Vermaak (Graad 11 - 2019) Rusland. Die land van sneeukoninginne, wolwe en wit, ruig woude. Vir my is dit ‘n massiewe land met ‘n eksotiese kultuur, versier met dinge wat ek nooit van sou kon droom nie. Hierdie is dus die land waarna ek sonder skroom heen sou reis, in die geval van ‘n geleentheid. Toe daar eendag juis ‘n geleentheid by die skool kom om ‘n uitruilstudent na Rusland toe te word, is ek op hete kole om dadelik my naam te gaan opskryf. Dit was werklik soos ‘n droom. In my geestesoog het ek al klaar daardie torings soos lekkergoed met goud gekroon, gesien. Rusland se ryk en koninklike geskiedenis gee selfs vir die hedendaagse land ‘n gevoel van misterie en fantasie. Vir my, ‘n ernstige boekliefhebber, is die aantrekkingskrag van hierdie anderwêreldse land, juis om hierdie rede ‘n natuurlike een. Opwinding en ‘n lus vir die onbekende het diep in my hart gedreun, die oomblik toe my naam op die lys verskyn. Ek het my baadjie stywer getrek en my wimpers gefladder om die klein diamantjie-sneeuvlokkies uit my oë te hou. Ek was besig om in ‘n nouerige straatjie af te loop, die lug was met die ryk klank van ritmiese musiek en diep, laggende stemme vanuit ‘n restaurantjie gevul. Rollende, ronde woorde het by al die straatwinkels uitgetuimel en my in ‘n transagtige, maar tevrede, gemoedstoestand gesit. In hierdie toestand het ek eindelik die pieke van goue torings hier en daar tussen silwer wolke sneeu sien uitsteek, die finale poging van hierdie land om my na die wêreld van geheimsinnige en fantastiese kultuur te ontvoer. Die dag moes toe kom wat ek afskeid neem ( met die stort van meer as een traan). Uit die vliegtuig se klein venstertjie sien ek toe vir oulaas die sneeubedekte berge in die verte, glinsterend soos juwele in die sonlig. Tot volgende keer, sneeukoninginne.

FROM CLAUDETTE’S PEN Every year, a renewed passion drives me - to develop a deep love for beautiful writing in my pupils. I do believe that it forms the intricately chiseled cornerstone of a brilliant and informed society. Intelligent and authentic expression, without fear, is surely one of the greatest gifts an English Department can give to its pupils. It opens doors, builds confidence and introduces new talent into a thirsty and barren world, spreading hope and divine love which comforts like a cool blanket. My heart rejoiced and my tired spirits soared when I read these words: “English has opened my eyes to a subject that sees past learning Grammar rules and poetic devices off by heart. I have been taught to use those tools to tell stories that will touch people’s lives. I never thought I’d be able to write essays and stories the way I did this year. Thank you for believing in us.” Kristy Lowe So, my dear pupils, as M.J. Bush so succinctly puts it, may you continue to “Step into a scene and let it drip from your fingertips”. I would love for the readers of this page to celebrate the success of our pupils as hard work “paid off” and Charis Noviskie came FIRST in the SACCE competition with the following essay…

Old Man’s Shoes Albert-Clarence Alby was ninety-two years old and wore military brogans. His daily ritual was fixed to the preciseness of a minute and consisted mostly of meals, newspapers at the kitchen table, and his primary occupation: a shuffle outside to smoke. He took his time and would reach the park by noon, if the weather permitted, where he would sit on that dilapidated bench which was presumably as ancient as he was, and smoke again. He had a face reminiscent of used tissue paper and a habit of pulling his pulpy bottom lip in too far. His limbs were like brittle wire, and his bulbous eyes too vacant and rapt—passers-by occasionally asked him whether he had lost his glasses. But for those who knew him a little better, Albert-Clarence Alby was the sort of ninety-two-year-old that required the instantaneous respect that is usually reserved for the adventurous antiques of history. He might be lacking his dentures, but the fossil himself had defanged vipers, wrestled ostriches and collected shark teeth not so many years prior. If one could refrain from reading between the lines of his face, one would find that his was a story better told by the spit-shined leather of his brogans than by anything else about him. He had been a military man, of sorts, in his youth—well-travelled, adventurous, daring.

He’d traversed most of Africa, Australia, and the Amazon rainforest, visited parts of Russia and the Middle East and once spent a few months in Scandinavia, herding reindeer. Over the decades he’d lost most of his military bearing— he was hunched over now and had forgotten how to make his bed without a crease—but his attention remained as sharp as ever. He could trace the meandering of a fly from across the street, and his mind was a filing cabinet stocked with memories accurate to the colour of thread holding the button on his neighbour’s best jacket. If one could hear his inner dialogues as he sat on his park bench and observed the neighbourhood so faithfully, one might hear things like: “I see Mrs Jenson’s glaucoma has improved” and “I do hope that Dillan has not left his favourite coat at school again” or “Good Mr Banks, I do believe he has finally polished his glasses”. He was as sharp, perhaps, as detectives such as Holmes or Poirot, but rather less arrogant and weaker at the knees. He would appear only briefly to the outside world, on those visits to the park bench which was widely regarded as Mr Alby’s bench, and had few mutual connections with the personalities of that bleak London square which he inhabited. To that busy society, his role was small. His trips outside had diminished a little over time—perhaps it was the smoking habit, his favourite vice—as his creaking joints grew to need more the oil of warm baths and cups of tea. In any case, Mr Alby was old. He had to end eventually. And when he had completed his final trip—the familiar bench, stage left, and his customary smoke—AlbertClarence Alby shuffled into his curtained home and stood a spell in front of the mirror. Then he reached up and peeled away his mask. Bit by bit, he removed Mr Alby—the white stubble, putty nose, wig, rouge, powder—and slid off the spit-shined brogans. He wiped away the stage makeup, watched as the youth underneath slowly reappeared. He hung Mr Alby on a hanger and put him carefully away. Then, with a solemn whisper, near to reverence, the actor said: “Until next time, Albert-Clarence Alby.”

Stay faithful to the stories in your head. - Paul Hawkins, author of Into the Water

Matric Art

The Visual Art Grade 12 class of 2019 was a special bunch. They were a joy to teach with their incredible work ethic and passion for art. Erin Pretorius created the most beautiful stop-motion animation and illustrated story book depicting the way in which shifting one’s perspective can change one’s ability to face challenges. Shakira Leece-Jones’s photographic works looked at the way in which stars and galaxies emulate how one finds balance by connecting to the centralising power of God— similar to the gravitational pull of planets inside their galaxies. Matthew Snayers developed his unique drawing style to express the challenges one faces in the liminal space of becoming better at the art of being.

Knoxie le Roux worked in different styles of portraiture and drawings of building structures. She explored the notion of Beauty and the Ideal, and how it shapes external culture as well as our internal worlds. Also featured here are some of the highlights in the works of the younger grades. The Grade 7s created watercolour paintings and were tasked with creating self-portraits comprising of geometric shapes. The hand and foot drawings from the Academic Awards exhibition show some of the work of our Grade 9 pupils. The 3-D artworks show their mastery of illusionistic art. Well done to all our students for their brave explorations and passionate engagement!

Accounting

The Grade 9s learnt about investing and each pupil “inherited” R200 000 which he/she needed to invest. This entailed researching different investments and coming up with a plan. They practised their investing skills by playing the Cash Flow game twice during the year. The Grade 9s were addressed by Tiaan from Attooh, an investment company, and had an opportunity to join an investing platform to start their own investments. With the Grade 10s hard at work learning how to think analytically, the Grade 11s had more time to learn about “real

life” money management. They enjoyed reading a range of financial books, and had a fun day eating pizza and getting out of the “Rat Race” while playing the Cash Flow Game. They also manufactured bugs and learnt how factories work. The Grade 12s had the privilege of learning about stock control from Joe, the Financial Manager from Highlands Spar. They were also addressed by Nicole Baron, a past pupil and auditor working for EY. With all the challenges in society and in business today, these talks were extremely interesting and informative.

EXPO

Science SAYESS National Science Expo Back (L-R): Mrs C. Willis, Gabi Signorelli, Miss R. van der Merwe. Front (L-R) Amber Dippenaar, Jurica Wessels.

A DECADE OF SCIENCE EXPO AT HCS In 2009, Miss van der Merwe introduced HCS to Science Expo. Only the Grade 9s participated and the “finals” were held at school in one classroom. As it was our first year participating, we were only allowed to enter five projects for what was then called the Northern Gauteng Expo for Young Scientists. Gabriella Willis received our very first gold medal and the other projects, silver and bronze. We were thrilled and so proud of all of them. From 2010, both Grade 8s and 9s started participating. The school Science Expo grew from a small school “finals” in the Science laboratories and the Pavilion to what is now a Science Expo Gala Evening in the school hall with external adjudicators. 2017 saw yet another big change as we entered students for five different competitions at the North Gauteng Science Fair. This was also the first year that our provincial Science Expo sported a new name. Instead of the five projects we started with in 2009, over 40 students from Grades 7 to 12 are now entered every year! In the past decade, our students have competed in the Science Expo, Robothon Competition, Scientific Art Competition, Environmental Challenge, Programming Challenge

and Mathematics Challenge and the school has produced category winners in all of these competitions! We have grown from one gold medal in that first year, to several prize and category winners, multiple gold medals, national finalists and even international finalists in 2017 and 2019. Wow! Along the way friendships were forged (and tested), we’ve learnt that ants should never be used (even if we can prove that we kept them all alive), that HCS is the best at musical chairs, that project boards fit better in a Kombi than a car, and most of all, that our students are capable of extraordinary accomplishments through God who gives them strength. We are proud of our students who have learnt how to research something that they knew nothing about, who tested their own experiments (even if they didn’t work out as planned), who surprised themselves with how hard they can actually work and who discovered new possibilities. Students of HCS, you have made this such a worthwhile journey for us as teachers. Teachers of HCS, we could not have done this without your support. We salute you! To God be the glory.

History

History is all about people, so the best way to learn it is relational: through stories, anecdotes and discussions. Much meaningful conversation takes place within the four walls of the History classroom, but it all takes on a new dimension when we explore our subject in creative ways. As the photographs on this page testify, History students know how to make learning fun, at home and away on field trips, where fresh perspectives are gained, and most return home with much to think about.

This year has seen us actively integrate more coding-related activities into our curriculum to ensure that our students keep abreast with developments in the future workplace. We have attempted to balance this without compromising the teaching of computer literacy skills, and allowing for students to explore their creative side in the Adobe Web Design Suite. In the Primary School, JP students used additional iPad apps to explore coding games. Students created stories on computer, focussing on the sequencing and animation. Grade 3 students used Scratch to create their stories. Grade 4 - 7 students explored coding with Google’s CS First curriculum and Code4Kids. Their experience will help us choose the most suitable coding curriculum to take them further in 2020. Grades 5 and 6 took part in the Computer Olympiad and achieved some impressive results ranking highly with other students nationwide. Students continued to grow in their awareness of online safety and the Grade 6s presented group findings on how to practise being safe online.

Finding resources

Grade 7s have placed more emphasis on typing skills, ensuring that they are proficient in their use of the keyboard. Grade 8 pupils used GrassHopper to get a taste of coding in JavaScript, and Grade 9s completed a basic module in Python programming. Grade 8 and 9 pupils also consolidated their knowledge of the Office suite, in preparation for possibly choosing CAT as a subject in Grade 10. They also expanded their creative skills in the use of Adobe Web Design Suite. Grade 11 CAT students created websites which were exhibited using iPads. Senior IT students were encouraged to take part in the national Computer Programming Olympiad, and earned the following certificates in Round 1: • Silver: Chloe van Niekerk in Grade 11 • Bronze: Jason Dutton and Andrew Smith in Grade 11 • Bronze: Aiden Paveley, Megan Pistorius and Dayne Huysamen in Grade 10

SUBJECT Life Orientation is not just another academic subject. It is a subject that guides pupils to a place where they are better equipped to deal with the various challenges of life. We look at a wide variety of topics from social and environmental responsibility to selfawareness, the world of work, human rights and the importance of taking part in physical activities. All of these aim to lead young people to a place of acute selfawareness and responsible citizenship.

The specific aims of EGD are the following:

•

• • •

graphical drawings as the primary means of communication in the technological world specific basic content and concepts within the contexts of Mechanical Technology, Civil Technology and Electrical Technology various instrument and freehand drawing techniques and skills • solving technological problems through graphical drawings

the application of the Design Process and the implementation of CAD (Computer Aided Drawings/Design) as a drawing method.

EGD is a 3-year course. We use the same textbook for 3 years and endeavour to draw 1 drawing a day. Classes are informal and we try to visit interesting places in interesting spaces. The EGD boys did very well in the 2019 Science Expo and won the Bridge Building competition.

SUBJECT Business Studies (in 2019) has been a wonderful journey. This year, the Matrics and I were able to complete the first alternative task by doing the Business Simulation Game hosted by Banago Trader. A group of our students came first in this competition against Curro Roodeplaat. This group of Matrics has shown great determination throughout the year. Investments and Insurance were new topics they covered this year. The Grade 11s (all 8 of them) have been a formidable bunch. They have tackled the curriculum with great maturity and were able to put some of their theory to good use in their Entrepreneurship Day. The day was a pilot exercise which proved to be a great success with rich learning opportunities. The learners were able to put their marketing

knowledge and feasibility studies to practical use. The Grade 10s have started the subject on a high note. They show a keen interest in the subject and we have held many mature and meaningful classroom discussions which relate to business in a South African context.

CANADA

Canadian Exchange

On 1 December 2018, 7 friends and I stepped onto a plane that took us halfway around the world to Kelowna, Canada. After landing, each of us was welcomed by our homestay families whom we would be living with for the next three weeks. I was welcomed by my future sister, Rachel, my skyscraper of a brother Jeffery, my far-from-boring oldest brother, Riley and my two amazing temporary parents. Every day in Canada was magical! Heritage Christian School’s very own Mr G (Gordon Robideau) was our chaperone from the start and toured with us all over Kelowna. He took us skiing at Big White and to an indoor water park and although it didn’t snow, the wind made sure we froze to the bone. This trip was full of so many special memories and I made friends who will last a lifetime and I owe all of those memories to Mrs Hastie and HCS for organizing everything. Anamé du Toit On 1 December 2018, I went on exchange for three weeks to Heritage School in Canada. We were seven exchange students and were chaperoned by Mrs Hastie. After great excitement and over 2 days of long-haul flights, we arrived in a very cold Kelowna, in Canada. The school organised a full programme for us. Canadians went Zip-lining in SA We visited Heritage Christian School, got to go to an Ice Hockey match, the school’s basketball games, did some snowboarding/skiing and got to go shopping. We also went to an apple farm, had an interesting visit to a military museum, had fun at their aqua centre, learnt how to do curling and had great fun doing axe throwing. We even went to a travelling theatre. The highlight of our trip was, of course, going to

Big White, where we learnt to ski and snowboard - which was fantastic. I had the most wonderful experience ever. I will never forget it. Tamzin Goodenough Going with high spirits was one of the best decisions I could ever have made! It was just what I had imagined and much more. It was a one-of-a-kind exchange with awesome people and warm hearts. What a beautiful place and a really good exchange family! That was all I needed to make this trip a success but I got much more than just an exchange program. I got love, new friends and a second family on the other side of the world. I am thankful for every moment of it and for our teacher, Mrs Hastie! Without her this wouldn’t have been possible. A lot of memories and friendships were made. Without her, this wouldn’t have been possible. Going with this group was amazing as I got to know them better and got closer to some of them as well. It was totally worth every minute and I am so glad that I got to go on this exchange program! Vanessa Pathre

Hike

The Suikerboschfontein Hiking trail is situated on a farm in the Carolina district of Mpumalanga. We hiked on a portion of the farm that has been proclaimed as a nature reserve. The area is rugged and scenic and is rated as a medium difficulty trail. We walked approximately eleven kilometres each day, staying in huts and cabins along the way. Pupils from all age groups enjoyed each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, spoke of hilarious happenings and touched on deep, meaningful issues. We ate tons of food and that made our backpacks lighter!

Autumn Social

It is safe to say that the Autumn Social was a huge success! This year it was a masquerade ball. The Grade 10-12s had an amazing time with each other as they socialised, sang, danced and ate. It was a great way to bring the senior grades together and unify them. The evening presented an opportunity to experience school outside the classroom. It is a great memory for us to hold onto forever.

A special thanks goes to Mrs Munro and Mrs Sauer, respectively, for lending a â&#x20AC;&#x153;helping handâ&#x20AC;? and supporting us throughout the planning of the event.

Noon to Moon

Noon to Moon - in the words of the Gr11s - was a blast! The variety of games and entertaining movies created a safe, social environment where friends could connect with one another outside the classroom. The soccer games held on the sportsfield was a source of exhilarating entertainment which was followed by a jolly festive time of dancing. The mouthwatering tacos had everyone running to join the queue and delicious snacks which were provided to us kept us pinned to our seats during the movies. The friendly competition between peers over Pool games, Table Tennis and Foosball had spectators in fits of laughter. It was a wonderful time where new friendships were formed and the relaxed atmosphere allowed the students to connect with their teachers. Sad faces appeared as the end of the evening approached. However, we are all eager and expectant for next year’s Noon to Moon! It was a really good day and we got to spend time with our friends. The food was great and the movie was good entertainment. I had a lot of fun dancing and it was a great night. - Anonymous I liked the pringle taco stand... very creative! - Jessica

It was a safe environment where the students could be themselves and enjoy the company of their peers in a whole host of different activities. - Michaela It was a good time. I even made a couple of new friends in the younger grades and so it created a really good social time for all the grades. - Jaymin I really enjoyed getting to know some people in the other grades a little better. I think all the games just brought everyone together and really encouraged us to get along and have fun. The movie in the YPF was also really entertaining, especially with the snacks they gave us. To me, there’s nothing like a good movie to set the mood for a fun day. I will definitely come again! - Ame Noon to Moon was lots of fun and I enjoyed the soccer which was really fun. I also really enjoyed the tacos! - Mikayla My highlight was spending time with my friends, the movies and the food. - Ashleigh I enjoyed spending time with my friends and connecting in an exciting way and it was also very well organised. - Nicole It was lots of fun because it enabled us to be with our friends while still giving us a variety of things to do. I really enjoyed that the teachers took part and weren’t just spectators. - Lena

What do you get when you take 80 students, 160 tap shoes, 140 umbrellas, 20 musicians, 6 months of rehearsal and 156 000 pieces of confetti? Singin’ in the Rain… 2019 saw the talented students of HCS take on the daunting challenge of this well-loved musical. With the entire cast learning to tap dance, mastering the American accent and learning to sing well (or not so well in certain cases…LINA!!), the audience was taken on a non-stop journey through the invention of talking films in the late 20s. The talented cast led by Miguel de Sampaio, Charis Noviskie, Michael Roebert and Amy Stanford proved that with hard work, anything is possible. The audience was left speechless at the incredible renditions of Make em Laugh and Moses Supposes. Who said boys can’t dance? Anyone who was privileged enough to watch the show was left humming Good Mornin’ for weeks. Even months later, we can’t stop thinking about the angelic voice of Kathy Selden and the painfully eardrum-bursting howls of the great Miss Lina Lamont. Through the taxing process of rehearsals, costume fittings and propbuilding, the cast and crew remained positive, excited and focussed until the final curtain call. And, when all is said and done, after the lights go out and the audience leaves, we are left with life-changing

memories that will last a lifetime. As the legendary Don Lockwood said… “We’re singin, and dancing in the rain…”

CAMP

Grade 7

The Grade 7 Orientation camp of 2019 was a camp to remember. During camp inspection, the Grade 7s intrigued the judges with their “Veggie Tales” and interesting sleeping arrangements. After some valuable bonding time in the evening, they were given “scary” challenges to traverse in the dark. Some were exhilarating and others, terrifying! Yet they were ready to participate with vigour in the obstacle course the next day and returned home, deserving of rest. Welcome to High School, Grade 7s.

Grade 8

Welcome to HCS! 2019 saw the largest number of new students enter the High School. More than twenty new Grade 8 students were welcomed into the HCS family in January. The first weekend of the term saw them all attend the first official Grade 8 Orientation Camp. It was a weekend of fun, laughter and bonding. The Grade 12 Student Council members and selected Grade 12 students were tasked with making it a memorable weekend – a task they wholeheartedly embraced.

| High School

The students were taken into the “Catacombs” under the church, slept under the stars and participated in the first “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN MASTERCHEF” competition. Incredible dishes were served and some students displayed amazing originality when asked to create dishes from the snacks they brought for the camp. It was a very busy twentyfour hours for all involved and in the end every new student was able to witness Hatfield Christian School’s caring and accepting attitude. Your HCS journey has now truly begun…

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them, “Hold on!” – R. Kipling If you ask the Grade 9 students whether or not they are looking forward to the Grade 10 Camp, they often reply with both fear and excitement. Of all the camps HCS has to offer, the Grade 10 Camp is the toughest. Requiring the students to traverse large distances on a specially (or torturously) developed canned food diet, the camp pushes all those involved to breaking point while at the same time allowing everyone to exceed their selfimposed physical limits.

experiences on camp. The girls shared situations and faced challenges (as a group) which enriched their lives and they are now a more tight-knit group. The Grade 10 Camp has taught them that the Lord has instilled so much more in them than they could ever have imagined. All the experiences and lessons learnt will remain with them throughout their entire school career. 2019, unsurprisingly, saw the Grade 10 boys excel at every challenge. They tackled the well-worn route with gusto, stopping only to refuel, rehydrate and refocus. It was a privilege to watch them develop throughout the week, starting out as a cautious group of boys, but ending as a close-knit group of young men. … and who can forget that the camp culminated in a group camp out at the infamous Keane Manor…

Dinner

Theme: Ancient Greece The Greek word for community is ‘koinonia’. It refers to communion or fellowship, joint participation and the sharing atmosphere which one experiences with others. The long table seating plan; the mezze platters and the Greek dancing all pointed to the meaning of community and a sense of the

privilege that the Grade 9 group has of doing life together. The Grade 9s were sent into the senior phase of High School with individual words of encouragement from their teachers and an opportunity to participate in the Greek tradition of breaking plates as a symbol of breaking things in the past and celebrating walking into a new season.

CHOIR SENIOR PRIMARY MUSIC CLASS SHOWCASE The music class activities culminated in an evening at the end of term 3 where we invited our families to enjoy a look into the music class at HCS. The choir welcomed everyone with some memories of our participation at “Singin’ in the Rain” followed by the Grade 4s introducing Bach as our composer focus. This included interesting facts, dramatizing of a Bach Menuet, and a piano solo. Each Grade shared a variety of singing, moving and bodyand instrumental percussion. The parents joined in the Grade 5s’ Boomwacker item. The whole phase came together at the end with mass items including part singing and some bucket drumming. The term certainly ended with a (musical) bang!

SENIOR PRIMARY CHOIR Mr Gregory Lediga and some pupils from Motheong School joined us this year at our choir day and taught us some of their traditional songs and dances, which the choir was able to perform later in the year at the Jacaranda Winter festival. It was a privilege to work with them and certainly stretched many of us to learn something new. The choir evening at the end of May was joined by several other schools who enjoyed our hospitality and contributed to a musical feast. We have been very privileged this year to sing with the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir at Woodhill College and at the ZK Matthews hall at UNISA with the Bronberg children’s choir and the choir from Loretto School. Our pupils enjoyed taking part and seeing a variety of instrumental groups from Pretoria as well as from the Hall School in London on tour in South Africa. We are grateful for the enjoyable and culturally enriching experiences our pupils could be a part of.

Performers ready! 2019 saw another successful year on the stage as the talented students of HCS entertained audiences throughout. The year started off with another musical – the highly acclaimed retelling of “Singin in the Rain”. This biannual event has become a staple of the cultural offering of Pretoria East. In Term 2, the Drama students showcased their playmaking skills during the DIY Plays – highlighting not only great performers, but great writers as well. The Grade 12

Drama students delivered heart-wrenching and authentic performances during their Final Practical Exam in September. The examiner was left speechless and all those who watched, knew that they had seen something special. Supper Theatre is the best way to end the year – food and theatre! Between the sounds of knives and forks, laughter and applause, those in attendance were left in awe. Well done on another great year!

REPORT

Online

2019 marked the Online Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenth year of operation. This has been a significant year for the school. We tripled our student numbers from 2018 to 2019. Having established the necessary structures within the organisation, we were prepared for the additional students and have been able to (more than adequately) support them. Adding a second administrator to our team, as well as employing full time teachers, was essential to the growth strategy. Continuous content development is a key part of our business operation. Our project manager and her team of enhancers and content writers ensure that a high standard is upheld. The rebranding and implementation of our focussed social media marketing campaign on Facebook and Instagram have yielded a greater interest in the Online School and we look forward to seeing that translate into increased student numbers in 2020 and beyond. Three of the founding staff members have resigned as of the end of this year: Carol Lewis, Marina Louw and Shirley Noel. We thank them for their considerable contribution to the Online School and wish them all the best for their future endeavours. We are grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to provide education to students across the country. We trust that the Lord will continue to bless and grow the school as we endeavour to meet the needs in our country, innovatively.

Aftercare A Day in our Shoes As the A-Team, we get to see the children lose their wiggly teeth as we keep their pretty faces clean. 'Praying before we eat' are prayers that stay with us forever, as we sing them to the beat. Whilst making sure the children read before they have a cookie treat; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our time for a cup of tea... to sooth the throat before "put your shoes on your feet" are words we have to repeat. There is nothing we can't beat; that includes face painting in the heat.
