2004

Mrs. Sandy Sands Wilson

Mrs. Cheryl Smith

A I write thi report in ovember 2004, , can look back al another challenging year in education. The budget for 2005 has ju t been complered and plan are in full wing for next year. lt i alway inrere ring to note in lhe pre and el ewhere which chool are deemed to be the most succes ful. The pre. trumper list of A Aggregate and rank top porting chool and chool achiever. The e list, however, can never tell u which chool is be t for an individual. Even though we can talk from a po ition of trength becau. e we are on tho e li ts, there are neverthele many attribute of a good chool which are nOLpo . ible to mea ure. How can manner and coune y be ranked? Value? Morals? Citizen hip? Friend hip? Spirit? Commitment? The lisl i endles .. Maybe judging a good chool i. similar to judging a Ja ques Kallis cover drive. You know it i exqui ite, bul you can'l alway ay why.

that lOp academics are perfonning to their ability. TIle "Bridging the Gap" programme give weaker student the opportunity to have oneon-one tuition from their peer. Thu all at Wynberg can trive lo reach their ability level. Once one has een the view from the top of rhe mountain, nobody should accept econd be r! Mr Baxter and Etienne Oavi have led the Cultural Pillar to greal height . The major production of Guys & DoLLs was out tanding, and the tour of the Boland en ured that Wynberg' cultural name wa enhanced. Singing, acting and playing mu ico the fifty boys who wenl on tour howed an expertise and enjoymenl which was a credit to them and their leachers. Mr Hodgkinson, Mr Allen and Alexi Grammenopolou must have had Alberl Schweitzer in mind in the Service Pillar: " don't know what your destiny will be. But this I do know: lhe only ones among you who will be truly happy are tho 'e who have found oul how to serve other .'

I commend Mr Joy Goodwin and old boy Mr Michael Lumb for all they have done to put thi 2004 magazine together. They have endeavoured ro record all thal ha happened in lhe chool and lo how why Wynberg de erve to be rated on the e li tso Hopefully, reading between the lines, we can . ee that the hidden curriculum mentioned above i al 0 valued and empha ized.

All we achieve at Wynberg, in the cia sroom, on the tage and on the port fields, will be mcaningle if we, in our privileged po ition, do not learn that life i. about ervice to other.

The chool i determined to build it reputation on the four pillar. Mr Mo er, rogether with the Academic Prefecl, Neville Krige, ha.."planned and nurtured lhe 'eed of academic excellence. Matric results, Olympiad. competiriom. the SlAT exam are all clear indication of the fact

The highlight of the ervice year wa the handing over the key of a hou e (built and financed by Wynberg Grade 8' ) to a eventy-two year old man in Ma iphumelele Town hip. To 'ee the joy and pride on the face of this old man, who could now own and live in the fir thou e

of his life, certainly brought SchweilZer's injunction home to all of u who were there. The Sports Pillar L brimming over with talent. I firmly believe that among t our eight hundred pupils, there is enough talent to ri e to the top in every sport. Cricketer, hockey and quash player have re ponded to the challenge with all three port being rated nationally. Both We. tern Province captain in cricket and hockey are Wynberg boys. Dominic Telo. backed by Mr Kallie Pretorius, ha laid the foundation for the sporting. ucce. ses of Wynberg thi year. The Pillar of Wynberg have been exceptionally well led with James Dickie-Clark as Head Boy pulling all the thread together. He ha been re ourceful. independent-thinking and caring. Thi has permeated through to the matric body who have been equipped to lead the way in many areas of South African life in year to come. School i not neces arily a predictor of success, but the qualities we instil. are. During the year, the Governing Body and Senior Staff had a number of meeting to chart the course of the chool in the next few year . One of the recommendations was to promote three House Head to the po ilion of Director reporting to the Senior Deputy. From I October, Mr Dave RusseIl (Academics), Mr Dave Schenck (Di cipline) and Mr Peter Van Schalkwyk (Extra-Mural) have brought new vim and vigour to their portfolios. They have at on the School Executive with Mr Tim Gordon, newly appointed Bu iness Manager. Mr LaITy Moser and Mr Terry Hepworth. I thank them and commend them for their input.

I commend our teacher and all the upport taff who provide uch valuable back-up. I must al 0 alule the vast number of parents who give up time to upport school activitie from the Food Fair at the beginning of the year to the innumerable committee which achool like our need . Without the uppon of willing parents, this chool would stuUer along on only one cylinder. A another year draws to a clo e, all of u who are members of the Wynberg family need to remind ourselve continually of the inspiring in. cription on our Memorial gate:

Men afWynberg enter these gates wil" humility aware of the privileges alld respollsibilities which this school bestows 011 you determi1led to avail yourselves of the opportullities 011 offer so that you, too, ill time may ellhance its reputation. That um up, very adequately. chool tand for. K.C. Richard

I once a ked a enior pupil whether we could ee Table Mountain from Our field . He thought long and hard before replying that he wa not ure. To all our young men, J urge you not to take our beautiful chool for granted _ ju t a we do not take teacher and parent for granted. In one of the monthly newsletter. I remarked that behind every successful per on there once tood a teacher. Everyone remember a teacher who encouraged, praised, advi ed and mentored. Mo. t pa ion and intere ts in one' life were kindled at ome . tage by a teacher.

nurturing. he allowed hi pupils the breadth and scope to explore their world. He made a huge impact on the school - not only in An, but also in Badminton organization. In addition, he wa one of our mo 1 empathetic tutors. Mr Francois FouchĂŠ has opted lO return to Stellenbosch Univer iry next year to study for a Ma ter Degree in Sports Science. He came to Wynberg at the beginning of the year after a teaching . peIl in England. He taught Afrikaans throughout the Grade, but will be particularly remembered for hi Athletics and Rugby coaching and hi contribution to Liltiewood Hou e. Mr Terry Hepworth was persuaded to come out of retirement for a year to help us out a a Pa toral Deputy. He performed hi role with aplomb and wa re peeted and appreciated by pupils and teachers alike. At variou tage during the year, he offered his services a an Engli h teacher and a Math teacher. The fifth cricket team wa privileged to have hi upport. Hi contribution this year ha been immen e and he will be orely mi ed. After twenty five year at Wynberg, Mr KaJ1ie Pretorius decided to retire from teaching at the end of the third term. Hc joined the Wynberg Staff in 1980 a a young, enthu ia tic Hi tory teacher.

ment and loyalty to Wynberg. We thank him for his contribution to our chool and wish him and his wife, Sandy, all the be. t in the next phase of their lives. An edited ver ion of Alexi Grammenopoulos's farewell peech to Mr Pretorius at hi final a embly: "Having to ay goodbye to Mr Pretoriu , who ha decided to end his career at Wynberg and move into a different field of experti e, is by far the harde t thing I have ever been a ked to do. Apart from hi contribution to the academic sphere of the school, Mr Pretorius has been a very pro-active sports coach. He coached an athletics team. which became the highe t ranked English speaking school team in the province and one of the SASOL top 12 school teams in the country. He took the Fir t Rugby Team overseas some time back and they returned unbeaten. These achievements show us the quality of the man he i - trong-wiJled and competitive. but. at the. ame time. one who ha! a great ense of humour and who loves a good joke. Everyone at Wynberg will remember hi wonderful a emblie. and hi "frog" or "fractyl ,. peeche (hi Engli hometimes needed deciphering) always contained a clear me age. Mr Pretoriu ha alway had a fierce pride in the chool and demanded high tandard of the boy . I con ider my elf mo t fortunate to have been in his tutor clas for the past two year. So, Mr Pretoriu , here's to a wonderful inning' at Wynberg. We all wi h you luck in your future endeavour ."

THE ROUTE TO GO?

One of the more popular approaches to move acro S from the world of business into the world of school in recent years bas been 0called 'outsourcing'. WBHS ha been a frontrunner in this trend, and it is very much a part of life at chool at pre ent. The concept is aften touted as a money saver, but the jury is till out on the validity of that reasoning. From our point of view the argument ha rather been along two other tracks: tbe idea i rather intended to: â&#x20AC;˘ ensure greater efficiencie , with experts in their particular arenas taking care of pecialized service . â&#x20AC;˘ freeing up educator to concentrate on what they do be t, uch as teaching, coaching or guiding your son . We have gone fully into outsourcing in two main areas - care and maintenance of sports field , and care and cleaning of the cbool building. It is early days yet, but in general we are delighted with tbe service we have received from Turftek and Yeri Clean. Wynberg Boy 'Higb School Magazine 2004

ha been at Wynberg ince 1972. He has loyally erved thi chool a. a member of the Ground Staff for thirty-four year and ha erved under four Headma ter . We wish him well in hi retirement.

The cia sTOOm and public areas are potles ly clean and a great pleasure to work in. At the ame time tho e of you who vi it the school with any regularity can hardly have failed 10 notice the condition of the fields. With the experti e now available we have regular, effective and timeou carification. fertilization, mowing and weederadication programme in place. We have al 0 shifted the worry of down-time on tractors, mower- harpening and labour di putes onto the houlders of Turftek. The down ide was naturally the sad proce of having to say goodbye to some long-serving members of our support taff who became redundant as a result of the new structures. 1bere i also the difficulty of nOlhaving a labour force to caJl on to see to the hundred and one non-routine things which are part and parcel of running a school. We are coming to terms with il all, though, and overall the efficiencie and expertise on tap far outweigh the inconveniences. It will be mtere ting to see. as time roll on, whether we are able to hit on other services where it makes sense to follow the same route. Mr T. Gordon (Business Manager). 15

GAP YEAR STUDENTS Our four gap year students their year at Wynberg:

Well that has been my Gap Year and as you can tell I have had a great time and would like to thank everyone for being 0 kind and helpful. In fact J have enjoyed myself so much that I have accepted ajob at Wynberg until the end of the year.

- Edinburgh).

eight months since my am al at Wynberg. but it only feel like half that. One of the fir t thing I remember was arriving at the Ho tel and getting the "Littiewood welcome" from all the boy . It wa the fir. t time that 1had to tand up and tell everyone who I wa and where I had come from. but it would not be the last. I pent the next week on Grade 9 camp urrounded by boy who wanted to know everything about me and I could only remember about ten of their name. eedles. to 1>ay.it wa!> a great camp and [ got to know a lot of the boy whom I would be taking for Cricket back at chool. Tt's been

The next challenge I faced wa Cricket. It wa a game r had never coached or umpired before so I was given the U l5E ide and told to try my be t. loon learnt and tarted to enjoy the game and the coaching. Although I was enjoying my elf at the chool I still could not wait for the holiday!'> and the trip on which I was to embark. The holiday oon came and I found my elf in a truck with two guys from the school and a lot of stranger. J was on an overland trip and would be on the truck for three week, travelling through place like amibia. Bot wana and Zimbabwe. Sun et crui e., game drive .. quad biking and white water rafting were just a few of the things we did on the trip and I will always cherish those memories. The trip. oon ended and it wa time to rerum to. chool. Thi. year Ibecame very involved in sports and took Cricket and Athletics and helped out with the Rock-climbing Club. All of the e port and doing P.T. during the day kept me very busy. but at the arne time it wa great fun. Little did I know that the be t part of my year was till to come. At the beginning of the econd term J started coaching rugby. I began coaching the 140 1>ide but. oon changed and coached the U l4B ide with Mr Galant which I enjoyed very much. 16

Michael HowelIs (Cheltenham

- England).

It hardly eem ten months since 1 arrived fre h-faced in South Africa, with the prospect of a gruelling year a a Gap Year at WBHS ahead of me. I'd heard a fair amount from last year tooge from Cheltenham, but nothing had prepared me for the year to come. I clearly remember walking into the Staff room on my fir t day and being introduced to the people I would be eeing prerty much every day for the next year. Well, my year is all but finished now and I'm obliged to bore you with fond memorie of my time here. My fir t re pon ibility a a cricket coach was with the mighty U l4E team. We uffered ome narrow defeat. and won some memorable game' - beating the Berg liet B' springs to mind. At the end of the year I wa promoted to coaching the U l4C . Coaching thi ide wa immen. e fun and we approached each match with unbridled optimi. m and confidence. The team pirit was. econd to none and we fini. hed the term winning three of the 'ix matche!> we played. although I feel we could ha e won more. Thi winter I have al 0 had the plea ure of coaching 16 rugby and Wynberg Boy 'High School Magazine 2004

U 14E hockey. The eason ha not yel finished, but I have een a few very encouraging performances from both sides. Gap Years try to lead an active ocial life and I will be returning to England with many great memories of the reslof the Gaps. Luckily, we also have the privilege of taying in the hostel. Having been a boarder my elf at school, I was pared the culture clash between home and ho tel life. The only down-side that I could find to living in the hostel was being on duty, but only once a week and once every four weekends can be lived with. I must thank Mr. and Mrs. Fauld and the rest of the support staff for making my stay extremely comfortable, and everyone who has let me enjoy this wonderful opportunity Mrs Innes, my ho t, the hostel ma ter and of cour. e my fellow gap years.

MattBax (Hutchins School - Au tralia). In the middle of my Grade 12 year r decided to apply for a gap year, not really sure which country I would be going to. I hadn't really thought about it much until I was handed a letter aying thal I had been accepted by Wynberg Boys' High School. Knowing little about â&#x20AC;˘Wynberg and South Africa, I packed my bags and aid goodbye lo family and friends and set off to open a new chapter of my life. My year at Wynberg started on 15 January, having landed in Cape Town after 2 I hour of tlying from Tasmania. My fir t memory, while driving down the N I past the town hips toward the famous Table Mountain, wa a king myself if thi was where I would be 'pending the next I I months. But, a the mountain drew elo er, I could ee my year wa going to be one to remember. Throughout the year 1 have faced many challenge . My fir t and probably bigge t re pon ibility wa working in the hostel. The enthu ia m and brotherhood of the boy and taff at Littiewood i something that wa a privilege to be a part of. I have made many friend by being involved with the boy , either by helping with homework during prep or just talking lO them about chool or life in general and this has made my year very enjoyable. My mo t vivid memorie are being thrown into the deep end of the pool and having the priviWynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

lege of coaching the U l5B cricket side. I have alobeen involved in many other areas around the school coaching the U l4D and E hockey ides and taking squash and tenni team when [ was needed. I al 0 gained a lOLof !jfe kills by filling in for ab ent teachers and doing basic admin, P.T. teaching and fitness testing. While in South Africa, I and the other 'gap , had the holidays in which to pack up and travel around Africa. We had opportunities to travello the Orange River, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay among t others place. My mo t memorable holiday was an overland tour through South Africa, Namibia and Bot wana and on to Victoria Falls in Zambia. This was the highlight of my year and il was a real eye-opener to get to ee the real Southern Africa. My year in South Africa ha helped me become more independent and has taught me many life skills. I would like to thank Mr Keith Richardson and Mr Peter Knowie for giving me the opportunity and the privilege of being a gap tudent at Wynberg and I hope that the future gap year have a mucb fun and gain as much experience as I have. ] would also like to thank Mike and Tri h Hendrick for all their upport this year. It has made my stay here that much ea ier.

Thomas Severn (Rathkeale College - New Zealand). Last year I took advantage of the fact tbat the chool ] wa attending had an exchange programme with Wynberg Boy and 1 was able to wap places with Tyronne Fergu on and enjoy a year off in South Africa. Nervou at fir t, but becoming more and more confident, I decided to get out of bed on the mildly warm January morning four hour before my tlight left New Zealand and do ome last minute packing. In the e last few minute I thought, What the Heck am ] doing? I'm now packing to go to a country for a year where I know no-one, have no idea of the culture or religion of the people or what they like to eat! Besides I've never been away from home for longer than two and a half weeks. Happily, I'm itting here ten months and twenty one days later with a mucb knowledge a you can feed a New Zealander in 327 day and with a much better tan than I had before r came. 17

During my year, the other Gap Year and J have walked up Table Mountain everal time and travelled to Robben I land. One of our holidays included travelling up the Ea t coast to place like Pleuenberg Bay and Kny na. lo Kny na we biked up to the Knysna Head and spent an afternoon ight eeing. The Elephant Park was amazing. I mo t enjoyed tbe twenry one day trip to Victoria Fall that Matl Bax and I made. What did thi entail you might a k. Well along with a whole lot of ocialj ing with fellow touri ts, we travelled about 8000 kilometre from S.A. to amibia, to Botswana and finally to Zambia to view the Victoria FaIL. Along the way we did uch things as quad-biking, riverrafting and body-boarding on the Zambezi, village tour and booze-crni e . During the year, I travelled to the Orange river on the border of Namibia and S.A. three time, the first time on a guided fi e-day river trip, the econd in the Overlander and the la t, working a trainee guide on the river with Mark Evan for a different experience

GRADE 12 GAP YEAR STUDENTS Tho e malric who were elected to do gap year' over eas in 2005 are:

Courtney Chase Cheltenham (England).

James Hutton-Squire George Watsons (Scotland).

During the rugbyeason I wa able to play for Fal e Bay Rugby Club U20's and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to experience at fir t hand the imilaritie and difference between New Zealand and South African U20 Rugby. Thing I will alway remember at Wynberg Boy are the Boarding Hou e and the amazing hou epirit of the boy . I will never forget the way the boy celebrate a newly arrived boarder or a fellow boarder' birthday. I thoroughly enjoyed taking ports team uch as the U 140 rugby team and the U l4F1F Cricket team.

Rhett Ha/kett Hutchms (Australia).

I've experienced a lot of different thing during my time here in outh Africa, ome of them being life. kill and ome of them ju t experiencing a completely different life ryle altogether. Thi i n't alway an easy thing lO do for an 18 year old who i fre. h out of high chool, but now, when I look back on my year, r can ay lO my. elf confidently that J've u. ed thi year to my full advantage and completed as much a I could in a year. I thank all the teacher al Wynberg and all lhe people I've met here for a brilliant year, a year that T will never forget. I will alway look back on it and think, What a tremendou gap year!

GRADE 10 STUDENT EXCHANGE Two Grade 10 boy spentlhe la"t term of 2004 a exchange tudent . Stephen Walker went to Barker College - Australia and Bruce Hopkins went to Rathkeale - New Zealand.

Bruce Hopkins writes:

ln New Zealand, I have noticed, the sun doe n't hine very often and they will definitely not be having any water re. trictions because there i 0 much rain and plenty of water. The people in the country and in Rathkeale are friendly, the boys are great fun and have helped me to fit in. The teacher and taff are al 0 friendly and welcoming. One thing that I have noticed is that rules are rule and everybody tick to them. That is the problem with South Africa. Here you have to wear eatbelt in your car or face a $100 fine, but the thing i , everybody wears their eatbelt and obey the rule. I have been at the homes of a variety of boy all of whom are from very different background . I have learned to go white-baiting (catching little transparent fish), and a new method of crayfi hing. 1have learned that wimming in the ea i not a good idea as it is about three degree. I have been to a farm (lot of heep and cows) where I learnt how to ride a motorbike. We al 0 went hunting and I shot a rabbit and a bird. I watched a provincial game of rugby on Saturday and the home team won. 0 I will be watching a home final next weekend. The chool facilities and the ho tel food are very good. They have just built an indoor crickeI facility which looks great. While I have been here, I have reali ed thatlhe lack of respect for women i ju t a bad here a il i at home, and that boy behave the ame everyWynberg Boys' High chool Magazine 2004

where in the world. I have al 0 reali ed that our chool has many thing to offer and matches up (0 thi school one hundred percent. Here the ubjects are more pread out and academic tandard are much lower than ours. Maths i al least a year behind ours and I am doing the equivalent of Grade II Biology, and that i not hard either. Thi chool i rather quiet. It show how much Wynberg has to offer - omething one does nol reali e until the opportunitie are not there. I am learning a great deal from thi Exchange. I was nervous at fir t but now that I am here, I will never regret coming for one moment. Thank you for giving me thi opportunity. It really i appreciated.

Stephen writes:

Walker

Wow! What can I ay? Thi i eriou Iyamazing. f'm having such a great time here and I've learnt 0 much. It i ju t overwhelming. I am o thankful to have had thi opportunity. I must compliment the Wynberg taff on their academic tandard and level of di cipline. They are unmatched by any of the school that I have een here in Au tralia, and 0 i Wynberg' tradition. Staying in the boarding hou e i wonderful as I have made many good friends and been looked after extremely well. I am going on an Adventure Canlp tomorrow for a week, and then I will be having a week of work experience, which I am ure will be good fun. I have been 0 bu y that I can hardly think traight, but I know I am collecting memorie thaI I will treasure for the rest of my life. Tru i a once in a life[Ă?me opportunity and I am 0 glad T wa given it. I managed to make the first Water Polo team a well as the Swimming team, so I have been relatively bu y with pon as well.

GLOBAL YOUNG LEARNERS' CONFERENCE During the mid-year chool holidays, J was privileged enough lo be a part of the G. Y.L.e. in the United States. lt wa an amazing experience. It wa not just the places I visited, but al 0 the people I met, that made my two weeks in Washington O.C. and New York City a time I will never forget. The three hundred and ixty learners who attended, came from eighty different countrie and many diver e backgrounds, all with their own ideas and view on the is ues of poverty, democracy, terrori In and globalization, which were discu ed at the conference. 1 sincerely hope that Wynberg Boy' High will be repre ented once again next year.

VALEDICTORY GUEST SPEAKER'S ADDRESS Mr James Buchanan Good morning Matric ... moms, dad • grandparents, brothers, sister , girlfriends and friend . and myoid colleague and current taff. !hat list of name , and the event of today, say It all - this is truly a memorable day. Rather fortuitou ly, the Matries in their video had the ong, ''It's the end of the world as we know it" by REM. Thi i true! Thi is the end, perhap not of the world but certainly of the road. But in actual fact it's not the end of the road either maybe it i of the ' chool' road but it' the beginning of another, and compared to life, chool is rather like a gravel road entering life's highway ... and here you are at on-ramp! My 9year old son has a new Rally Car PC game: it's rather like going from beginner to advanced in one step! There are lots of PC games out there: In the late 1980' the world was taken by torm by none other than the epic Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizard (your parents know thi because -it affected their productivity at work!) Today it's ... planet Zog and you have to defeat a myriad avage Troggs to release the fru: Laila ~rom her capture by the evil inter-galactIc SchmrkJe Empire. But whether in 'Larry 'or 'Revenge of the Schnirkle' or 'Harry Poner' it' aften the same - to ucceed in the games you have to ask the right questions via your keyboard. You have to look around you for clues in your urroundings. You have to increase y~ur force ~ough training, learn to cast pell -limpendo! (If only the ob racle of exams could ju t be limpendoed !), eat chocolate frogs to keep your energy up and you have to collect thing that have absolutely no significance at the time - wormwood. Yet you do it all, working those toggle key - for hours - and if you do it well, you are a uccess - Larry gets ... um ... ask your dad, Laila i freed and Harry Potter eams the philo opher' tone. What' all thi got to do with life? Well today, ju t two thing : I want you to think of all the careers you can. How many did you get? 10... 20? Not many when you consider the thousand of job out there, let alone what pe0ple actually DO in tho e job . My i ter i irJ Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

Direct Mail. What doe he do? I'm not ure really. What do your fathers and mothers actually DO? In hart we are going into a future that we know very little about. So how hould you go about ucceeding in omething you ~n~w so little about? You houJd do just a you did 10 the game: make use of every opportunity, take whatever you can, improve yourself however you can. be open-minded, network with peopl~. li. ten to their ideas, read, make use of expenence , train yourself to be self disciplined, manage your time. 1 cannot guarantee. which .opportunitie will turn out to be u eful LO the lIfe you make for yourself but they will increase your option. On the other hand r £rul guarantee (~e all like guarantees) that opportunitie you dJd not take, you wlll not be able to make u e of. Quick little elf-te t here: how much did you make u e of the leadership, porting, cultural, academic and ocial opportunitie here at school? Mmmmm? Make u e of·your opponunitie . The econd little le on from our excursion to Planet Zog has to do with teaching u about ucce s more pecifically, becau e for mo t of u. ' that's what life end up being all about. What I it to ucceed in life? I think it's feeling fulfIlled. Ju I think - who eek to do thing they know are unfulfilling. What makes us fulfilled i of course THE que tion and in today' world mo t people will tell you it' about having thing, and your status. lo other words, your achievements in the eye of others - exactly what we are celebrating today. But when we think about it carefully, experience, such as our game of Laila and the Schninles, shows us omething else.

- Having the game i not fulfilling. It' like anythirIg you have - once you have it, the novelty wear off. Once you have achieved something in the past it' not as fulfilLing to do it again at the same level. - Neither i completing the game when it is too easy. Does the fIrSt team get a kick out of drilling an underdog? - And it's also not really fulfilling to try hard but not achieve! Do those who've tried hard but don't get the marks feel great? No. -What is fulfilling i when, after hours of trying, Laila is finally yours. Like the picture of Roland Schoeman and the guy winning gold - what a picture. lo that moment they epitomised fulfil-

ment. So what defines fulfilment? The 'trying' I believe that it is effort that lead us to a personal ense of achievement. So. in short, if you want fulfilment you have 10 get it through working hard. And that is why 0 much tore i put on doing your be ( and pu. hing your elf to your limit and making your life your own ... because unies you do. you will not be fuIt誰lied. You may have lol. of fun, a la the maLric video, but you will not be fulfilled!

and the 'getting there' ... together.

[ congratulate Loday, all tho e who made u e of the opportunitie at Wynberg and who put in effort and achieved, because you are on the path to what i important in life. Enjoy this moment of attention. Public recognition help to boost our sen e of achievement and in that sen e it's good. The attribute that have got you here will put you in good tead for the re t of your life. To the many others today for whom there are no public prizes (and you're saying, here we go,lip ervice con olation to the lo er , but r mean it in

all incerity), you also listened well, tudied hard, asked the right que tion , put in the hours, learnt from misLakes, were resilient, kept up with work. or were con iderate of other and gave of your time, but you did nOL get the reward. It wa not just a maLler of looking at your marks and saying 'wind guardian levio a!' (which, for the uneducated, is the Harry Potter spell to rai e things). Congratulations go to you Loo. There are only so many public prizes out there, in life there will be far fewer, and we can't all be number one. But we can all achieve in our own eyes and in that en e there are as many prizes a you choose to create. How YOU feel about yoursel f is what matters. The key i that a.<; long a you keep setting and working toward your own goals your achievement can bring you (and may they) as much fulfilment a the rest. And finally, those of you who are not in the habit of making the effort, ask yourself how fulfilling it really feels. Then go all out and write your mo t rewarding set of exam yet. 1 wi h you all the best in the Final.

Malric Breakfast - the last day of school.

Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

HEADMASTER'S ADDRESS I believe that everyone has been put on thi earth for a purpo e. I believe that purpose i 路to fulfil our potential. On Saturday night, while you Matric had your heads down revising olidly, 1 was watching "Papillon" on tbe History channel. One line in the ftlm went "Do you know what you are really on trial for? Wasting your life." Harsh words. It i to fulfil this potential which make, us human being a oppo ed to living being. You need to nouri h this potential by taking up all opportunities on offer and doing wbat you feel is "right". If you ignore your potential and get caught up in your own self interest, or if you forget that Lifei about caring for others, you will feel "unfulfilled". Deep down - when you look in the mirror - you will not feel "right". 'To walk the corridors of life', 0 the aying goes, 'and leave no footprints' is wasting your potential. Or to put it another way from a movie you all know, Braveheart, "Every man dies, but )lot every man lives." As I look at you one hundred and fifty-three matrics, I can't help but feel proud. Here at chool we have watched you grow, truggle, become trong. fulfil your potential. T,of course. am not the only one feeling proudit is also you parents and grandparent who are here today. It i also your teachers, and your tutors, and Hou e Head who have advised you, cared for you, mentored you. And then there i the school body, the other grade, who have admjred you, followed you and in ome cases, hero-worshipped you. The chool has been influenced by you - it has been a good year and we are of course anticipating matric re ults which will make us proud - and the re t of the chool will remember their matric of 2004. So in the Clegg Hall today, there is an atmosphere of admiration but also sadness a an integral part of the chool has grown up, i graduating and will soon be leaving. It is a nostalgic time. This hall has a pecial place in the Ijve of your matric . It i where your journey from boyhood Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

to manhood has taken place. We welcomed you to our school here while you were still in Grade 7 in 1999. You arrived at Wynberg with the new millennium in 2000 a naive Grade 8's to begin your orientation to High School right bere with Mr RusselI. We have seen mo t of your major triumph. in thjs hall- as embLies, prize giving's, sport award dinner. And now your Valedictory. Yes, trus hall ymbolise your progress, your growing up, your achievement . It will continue to be a feature in your life. Shortly you will write the mo t important exam of your live here and in years to come, you will return for Old Boys' Dinner in this hall. Hocrfully you will even come back here for the 50 annjversary of your matric year. A you it here now, about to leave school, it i interesting to look back on the road you have travelled while at Wynberg. I am convinced that the Junior School put in the literary efforu of Sub A' and B' into the school magazine ju t so that people like me can get quote in years to come. Even in tho e earlier years, it i pos ible to detect future character traits. Bryan Arendse in 1994 was appreciative of the simple things in life: 'I no wats the time, becau e I got a watch." However, I su peet Orhan Effendi still has lots to learn about life: "Baby and children are lovely becau e they are very good.' I this the quote of a future famous surgeon, mas murderer, or of ju t a normal boy? '{ am a witch and my ingredient is frog gut, alodogs guts and cats guts and dinosaur guts." Jurgen Goldschmidt. Sub B mu t have been a violent place. 'Jesu please give us peace and stop the fighting and the hitting.' Byron Arendse Do you see a future Head Boy in this? 'I want to be a pirate chief and want to make my slaves walk the plank: James Dickie-Clark And 0 we have moved from the innocence of the boys of Sub B to the more worldly wise young men in front of me now. Here i an extract of a letter written by a recent matric : "It is ironic that when I was in.Grade 1I, I could not understand why so many matrics were upset at their Valedictory Service. It has taken me a

In my me sage in the matric yearbook, r tell the story of an engineer. Daedalus. who was a pri oner with hi on. learu . on the island of Crete many years ago. There wa no mean of e cape, until Daedalus, after studying the flight of birds, came up with the idea of manufacturing his own wing. and e caping over the water. He tried, in vain, to excite hi on with diagram and details. Unfortunately the teenage boy was far more intere ted in the Cretan equivalent of cricket, rugby or hockey and playing with hi mate. So his Dad did all the work, carefully creating and manufacturing two unique et of wing.

Like Daedalus, we as a school have provided you with wing . You have been guided, mentored and advised regarding your future route and future decision . You are standing on the cliff edge wailing to take off. You have the wing. , the choices are now yours. Il is exciting out there - there are adventure and experiences waiting for you. At the same time, there are hidden danger, trap and temptations. We wish you well as you soar to new heights and explore new tenitory. You, a adults will be defined by the choices you make. On behalf of your teachers, on behalf of the wider community of the Wynberg family, I thank you the 2004 Matrics for your leader hip, your contribution in 0 many areas and your example. J urge you not to lose touch - both with one another and with the school. Remember to laugh in years to come at both the good times and the rough time at chool. When you think about us in the years ahead, come back and vi it us. T wi h you everything of the best. I wish you health and happiness and J look forward to meeting you all at your re-unions.

HEAD BOY'S FAREWELL ADDRESS 1 stand before you today at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Thi chapter ha been the only thing 1 have known thus far, o the econd chapter to this book of life i unknown territory. The end of thi chapter has proved to me that , chool' is something far greater than we conc~ive. It is human nature to take a pes imi tic View of chool and to allow thi pes imi m to become 0 overpowering that many leave before actually getting to this type of meeting we have today. So that is why it gels a special name, Valedictory. Ye , ifs that pecial. School, I believe, is absolutely not about the academic knowledge you gain. The life- kill and friendships are what count. School i the fir t chapter in the book. and thu it provide the basis for the rest of our lives. The friendships you make and the opportunities you take will influence your character more than you can imagine. This ha been a school of opportunity, and ha" allowed for the learners to develop pOlential that will see them to a succe sful future. However, the over-riding factor for me. a a member of this Matric group, has been the intense and unwavering re peel that each member had for one another. That was my highlight of the year. Within the school life. the Matric had a pirit. It was nol an alpha-male, te to terone-packed spirit. Thi was a pirit that has linked this Matric group for life, like brother. in an endle chain, which sounds familiar ... We were not merely school members of the ame cia . but friends fir t, who happened to attend chool together. The relationship with the rest of the chool wa al 0 a pure one. From whm I witnessed, thc Matric had true con ideration for the future of Wynberg and the tandard of boy who will one day take our place a Matrics. I look back at the SACS rugby game at Wynberg in wet, muddy battlefield type weather. Wynberg scores the final try to clinch the game and the chool wa. linked in a circle, singing the !Ichool ong. The collective pride of the chool wa e ident here and the brotherh d wa own, in the pouring rain one Saturday morning.

I would like to thank all the teachers for the dedication and effort they have put into the chool, which ha aided Wynberg to tay the force il i. in modern education. The Prefects de erve special mention in their work, which extends beyond school hour. and is a service to the 路chool. The chool had a succe ful year and your influence was noted. You did yourelve very proud, and I am honoured to have been a part of it. I would like to thank the parent of the Matric cia , for their upport al port fixture and uppor! of their on throughout their school careers. I would Ilke to thank my parenls for their understanding and upport of me. Finally, to the Matric , I gave it my be t hot. and you gave it yours. I am proud to have experienced the Matric of 2004.

The R.C.L. committee performed a meaningful and constructive role in this portfolio for the chool. On being elected, the committee was ceptical about what achievements we were meant to accomplish. Not having much recognition, the R.C.L. struggled in the beginning stages of the year. Our first major ta k was to re-formulate the chool's Code of Conduct and make it into a more readable conduct, to give the learners a better under tanding of what their rights are within the chool. This was a ucce and the new Code of Conduct will be applied in the year to come.

SPECIAL EVENTS and PLACES HIGH

SCHOOL

r FOUNDERS'DAY The first day of Spring brought along a slight drizzle which soon dis ipated after a Grade II boy - on our way to the Junior School for the flag-rai ing ceremony - came up with the following gem: "Sir, for years r've been singing 'all the years of extraditions' and for obvious reason didn't under land what I was singing until I saw the written ver ion of our chool song. However, instead of feeling like a fool. I was proud la realize that, a a Wynbergian, I wa one of the 'heirs of its traditions'(!)" ... Founder' Day was pecial and slightly different. Different because this year only the Grade II boy attended the flag-raising ceremony at the Junior School. Special because apart from commemorating the founding of our school, it was in cvery way a pectacular celebration _ not only of the variety of talents the Wynberg family has to offer, but al. 0 of the tradition and legacy left by a long line of former pupil ,

teachers and parent . Richard Vincent, 2005 Head Boy and guest speaker at the flag-raising ceremony, rightly informed his (predominantly young) audience that a true Wynberg man is one who aspire to bring the school joy while at the ame time upholding and respecting its traditions. The Junior School Choir with their vibrant, young voices echoed Richard's belief with a plendidly performed modern version of All things bright and beautiful at a ceremony which, for the first time in year , the weather forced us to have in the Arnold Larie Memorial Hall. .. ! As if the flag-raj ing ceremony wasn't proof enough of how talented Wynberg boy are, the indoor ceremony in the Clegg Hall surely convinced even the most unimpressed and disintere. ted among u . Many boy actively took part in many ways and to such an impressive extent that the gue t speaker, Mr . .Jeff Kahn, devoted five minutes of his light-hearted yet insightful and captivating peech to prai ing these young ambas adors and at the same time pointing out the need for the school and broader

WYNBERG HOUSE OVAL PAVILION The Wynberg Hou e Oval and Pavilion were opened in time to ho t the Cape School' Cricket Week in 1991, when ex-teacher and current S.A. Hockey XI coach. Paul Revington wa Head Boy of Wynberg Boy' High School. For fourteen year ince then, the square on the side of the Oval Pavilion became the gathering place for enthu, iaSlic parent , e pecially those of the I st XI. Fathers braaied on the quare while mother prepared cake for tea and alad to accompany the boerewors roll in the tiny tuck shoplkitchen. Chair were placed there strategically for watching the match and then had to be cleared to make way for the familiar Ire tIe table on which lunch would be erved to home and vi~iting choolboy . The idyllic views of the mountain made our Oval a pectacular venue. but the arrival of the 'Cape Doctor' from beyond 'long-off' on the ight creen end would poil thing .. A a re uit of a casual chat between the Headma~ter and a parent about thi 'beauty and the bea t" ituation, the parent (who wi he. to remain anonymou ) very generously offered to provide the fund for the facility which we have now - a beautifully enclo ed lounge area. where the boy, their opponents, vi. itor and parent can it down to enjoy lunche and teas completely heltered from the South-Ea ter; an enlarged and fully fined kitchen/tuck hop and improved re. t room facilities. The new addition to the Wynberg Hou e Oval Pavilion were officially opened on 30 October by the Headmaster, Mr Keith Richard on, who had played a large role in the e tabli hment of the 0 al in 1991. We wi h to expre our incere appreciation to our donor and to everyone who played a role in bringing thi project to completion.

WBHS choo e. to con ider it~elf a CARING SCHOOL. Much i therefore expected of the

enior in each house, where the "buddy tem" pairs enior pupil with Grade 8' .

The Tutor Groups offer daily opportunitie for interaction, nOlonly between Tutor and pupils, but among the pupil them elve . The Hou e it. elf. meeting on a regular basis, en ure that youngsters do not "disappear" into the y tern. When pupils feel they really belong, that what they have to offer the chool i valued, that each one of them i unique, then we will know that the Houserrutor sy tem i working well. Mr T Hepworth.

The Winning House I tarted my new year at Wynberg Boys' High School in Grade 9 and I al '0 started thi wonderful new year in a different boarding e tabli hment. 1 wa cared, bu[ I wa accepted by everyone. The year tarted well with greaL new people in my darm. We all knew that thi year our main goal wa to win the Friedlander Shield. only because we lost it to de Waal by an extremely narrow margin la t year. The only way we could come close to winning thi amazing hield wa [0 come in the top four for Swimming, Tug-ofWar and Soccer. In the re t of the events we were certain of a fir t. . econd or third place. I wa nowettled in thi new and larger boarding-hou e and had made ton of friend., not just in my own grade. but in all grades up to matric. We were all ure that the Friedlander hield would be coming lo Lilllewood to lay. When we came back after the first term holiday, Mr Fauld was as eager as the re t of u to begin practi ing for the different event to be held in

the econd term. We tarted off brilliantly, tying for fir t place with de WaaI in Touch Rugby. The next event were difficult one, for which we aU had to pull together and practi e. The e were the events that would make us overall winner of the Inter-Hou e hield. I made a pact with my elf that I would go to aU the trial for every event from then on, and I did. I went to occer but was unlucky, and to hockey and was succe ful in making the team. I al 0 tried tabletenni. bUI came up short. We returned to the ho tel after the June exam and a much-needed break of three, long week of ab olute peace. We had two events for the teml ahead - the Tug-of- War and a brand new e ent called The Wynberg Mile. If we did well in the e event. we would have the InterHou e hield wrapped up. We needed the amibian_ de perately but they left on the morning of the events. But. we made the grade without them and that i. the Slory of the winning Hou e called Liniewood!

I look over a Hou. e Head from Mr John Knight. who left allhe end of 2003. One of our goal. was 10 try to promote House spirit and bring about a ense of brotherhood in the House and in the school.

Jnter-hou e events: The morale of the house was down at the beginning of the year becau e of our poor performance la<;t year. when one of our bigge t problem" was a lack of participation more than a lack of talent. and our position in the fir t Inler-House event of the year was disappointing. After involving the boy directly in finding solutions to lhe problem, re uit tarted to change. House spirit improved as more and

more excellent re ults tarted coming in. By the end of the year we had achieved fifth po ition - a big improvement on second la t. as we were at the beginning of the year. The highlight

of all the.e events were:

• Inter-House Badminton - tied in I· t place. • Inter-House Cross-country - won both age group but not on overall points.

• Inter-House soccer - won both age groups. We went on to play in the WBHS/SACS/ Rondebo ch/Bishops Soccer tournament. We did not play a well as we had done in the Inter-Hou e Soccer, as both leam lo tand did not go to the final . This is, however, one event where the spirit of the boys showed, but perhaps it was because of the popularity of the sport ilself. On the academic. ideo Wellington has continued to feature prominently in the Top Ten in almo t all the Grade. Devon van Breda was elected a the Gold Badge Prefect for Academics for next year. Thing are et to improve significantly as this year has served a a good foundation. We still need lo invite more parent 10 get involved with House activities. B. S.

WORTELGA1' CAtIP The Grade 8 camp at Wortelgat was a great success. It wac;a valuable way for the boy to get to know one anothcr better. This was achieved through various competitive races, team-building exerci e , physical workout , night hike and di~cussion~ under the guidance of the experienced taft' at the Camp Site. Many Grade 8' displayed a pirit and enthu ia, m that will be an as~ct to Wynberg in the years to come. S. H-B.

Mrs C. Hodgkinson, Mr S. Hudson-Bennett.

The five Grade 8 cla se have done il! For the fir t time, Wynberg boy have built an entire house. The Habital for Humanity organisation arranged thaI we build in the week that coincided with the valedictory/camp week. Our thanks to all the parent who upported the project. It would not have been po ible without their enthu ia m, financial contribution, time taken to transport the boys and the encouragement of the staff. The boys have had an opportunity to see how many South African live and. hopefully, now appreciate how fortunate they are. The homeowner is a 72 year old man who now lives in a two bedroom hou e with his family - he i ec tatic! Parents and Grade 8 builder were invited to the celebration when we handed over the house on Saturday 30 October. C. H.

GRADE 10 Grade Head: Mr M. Galant.

On our arrival at Rocklands Camp site in Simonstown, in very wet weather, we piled out of the buses filled with anticipation. Ron Clarke, the camp organiser, took immediate charge of us and il was clear from the outset and the very first activity (trying to build the highest free standing tower of straw, trings and a hoola hoop), that the camp was going to be a challenging one both phy ically and mentally. Afler lunch we were split into two groups. The fir. t remained on ite to participate in a . eries of team-building activitie , while the other group walked ten kilometres into town for a tour of the Naval Dockyard. We were allowed on board one of the newly acquired Corvette

- The Amanlla - and di covered that there are a lot of career opportunitie in the Navy. The next day there were more team-building activities and after lunch the two group wapped places so that the fir t group could visit the Dockyard. After enjoying a chicken braai that evening, all the boys et off on a night hike. The camp wa well attended by Wynberg staff, with Me srs Kriel, Louw, Faulds. Furstenburg and Jamie Steven on all participating enthu ia ticaJly in the activities. A very pleasant visit was also made to the camp by Mr Richard on. The camp wa well organised and a huge succe s. Mo t of us came away having had new experience and made new friends. Michael Klein.

BIOLOGY CAJyfp Grade lOB iology tudents went to the Wortelgat camp-site in Stanford near Hermanus. On arrival we were split into two group. One was sent to Gecko Bush Camp, while the other remained at 'The Stables'. Under the leadership of the ever friendJy site convenor, many activitie were undertaken with much enthusiasm and commitment. Over the course of the week. it wa evident how team spirit wa enhanced. Although many of these activitie were phy icaJ, a Bioquiz wa held for tho e who were more intellectually inclined and, in some instances. we were urprised by the knowledge of some young Wynberg men. Biological and ecological activitie included a short hike through the fynbo between the two camps. We looked at indigenou and alien plants as well as animal and their effect on the environment. Even though we had IOOmm of rain on Wedne day this did not prevent us

from having a lot of fun while paddling in the e tuary in canoes, looking at rock formation and high water mark . Even though thi wa a Biology camp, we aJ 0 learnt important le on whjch will help u in later life. The. e included: Trust one another. Do not underestimate

MJzPAH~ We left Wynberg at lunch time on two bu es. which seloff to Mizpah Youth Camp with lhe cream. of "kap the ba s" and "volume" coming from the back of lhem. These words gave me an accurate image of what the camp was going to be like - SPIRITED! There were mixed feelings from the Grade lI's. but a soon as we arrived at Mizpah. all fear vani hed. After the normal ice-breaker and introductions. we immediately began the Lnter-Hou e activitie : caber throwing, wood chopping, the rope cour e. raft building, the tyre puale and a e ion with Mr Hepworth. Supper was enjoyed by all and maybe loo much by some! The food wa. ta ty and in elephantine portion . The taff did a good job of en. uring that no boy would tarve. We were briefed on the orienteering exerci e. but nothing could have prepared u for what wa going to happen that evening. The rain picked up to a bli tering downpour. the wind seemed annoyed and darknes et in. There was no moon. Team â&#x20AC;˘eloff four minutes apart. galloping through the thick bush on cour e et by compa. e and maps. These two items confused rather than helped u and a forty fĂŻ ve minute exercise turned into a two hour lrea. ure-hunt. I till wonder why we et off that night in those condition. Team trudged through rivers, fell over waterfall, tripped into mud and were oaked lO the bone, but, on fini hing the exercise. we wore miles that justly boa ted our accompli hment.. The next day .. lories were told, enhanced and inflated and shared among a group of boys who were much clo er than before - a Wynberg Brotherhood. That exerci. e was, for mo t of us. the highlight of Grade II. The day continued with gruelling exerci e , which provided mental and phy ical challenge . In the "Goal and Molto" e. ion that evening we di eu.sed the role we will play a matric leading the. chool next year. InterHou e kits were a fitting tribute la a busy day

and that night 'light out' actually was 'light out'. Everyone was exhausted. On Friday the Inter-Hou e tug-af-war was a walk-over for Rhodes, who then took on a talf team con i ting of Messr van Schalkwyk, Bax. Schenck.lngli ,Simms and Henchie and WON! However. de Villier emerged as the winning House. The memories and the friendships forged will remain with u for many years. We had gone to the camp as individual Grade LI' and returned as a united matric body. The commit-

ment and effort everyone made wa inspirational. Lf the Grade Il camp is anything to go by, the 2005 matric body will be setting an example for the school to follow for decades to come. Richard Vincent (Head Boy 2005).

This year's matric group will be the fir t to have had the benefit of three years of Additional Mathematics - previous group have done the ubject a a. evenul subject in matric only by attending cia e after. chool for one year. As such they have benefited ignifïcantly by: • extending their thinking mathematically. • impro ing their normal Maths marks. • enriching them elves intellectually. • improving their aggregate for matric. • gi ing them, elves a head tart in their Uni er ity Maths fir. t year courl>e. Our chool timetable doe not always accommodate Additional Math pupils so this year only Grade 10' and 12's have had this benefit, while the Grade II' have attended cia es run in the afternoon by Mr Rushby. The matric yllabus consists of a module of Advanced Calculu (beyond the matric Maths syllabus) and a number of other choice modules. At Wynberg we have opted to do Financial Maths, and Algebra. It is hoped that this demanding work will continue to provide hallenge~ to our top boy.

The new FET curriculum ha allowed rudent a choice of variou. fields with a view (0 following a particular career. One of the fields is a commercial field, and allows for Accounting to be cho en as a subject. Accounting is a tield which is continually growing and changing. ew methods, in which tatemenls reflect information, are always being devi ed and the subject is all about presenting facts which are relevant to the performance of a bu ine .

It may eem inconceivable to teenage boy on the thre hold of adult life that 50 year can pa s in a fla h, but with hind ight it doe . filled though tho e years may be with a huge range of experience .. The important thing L grab every opportunity that come your way and u e it to your own and others' be t advantage. The more you ay YES to Life, the more opporrunitie it present to you. The only real regrets you may ever have are the occa"ion. you turned down invitation to fulfil your elf. 2. Step out in faith. If it i a worthy cau e. you will alway be looked after. Follow your pa sions. I give the example of my overriding interest in India, it culture and philo ophy. In 1982. a time when it wa almo t impo ible for white oUlh African to travel round India, I went there on a even-day transil visa (the mo t one could obtain) but wilh a . ix-week relurn airticket, and after a traumatic run-around, finally managed to find a high go ernment official who let my wife and me tay the full ix weeks. The trip fulfilled a lifetime ambition, but when we et out we had no guarantee. or idea how it would turn out. Another example i. my resignation from a" ecure" job of 21 years in 1987. with a big mortgage to payoff and a family lO uppon, to tand for election again t the Apartheid government, with no guarantee of financial. upport . hould I lose and not get into Parliament. I did narrowly lo e, and was left high and dry. But then free-lance commi ion uddenly started falling into my lap. and I found I could live by my wit. After two year, when

it Will judged that my party poljtical "contamjnation" had worn off sufficiently for it not lO compromi e my objectivity as an independent joumali t. I was invited back to myoid job. 3. Which bring me to a third point - bie ing in di guise. I was devastated when I lost the election. J really thought I could have made a difference to parliamentary politic at that time, lo be in the Hou e of A embly in tead of merely reporting on it a! I had done for many year from the Pre Gallery. P. W. Botha'. admini tration wa at it har he t. I believed [ had to do omething active lO curb its exce se . Yet in hindsight I reali ed politic was not for me. I had quickly learned that its very nature corrupt one. forcing all participants to compromi e their principle. I was a far better journali t than I could ever have been a politician. I never believed that I would go on to become editor of the Cape Time, an ageing "pale male" - in fact 61 was the oldest anyone had been appointed to the po ition in the paper' I25-year hi tory - after two black editors had come and gone. Looking back, the Indian trip and the (unsucces ful) venture into politics were two of the greate t learning experience of my life. 4. Alway give thank for whal doe come your way. Each one of our live i filled with bie ings, and the more we are aware of thi and give thinks for them, the more the bie. ings continue and multiply. Gratitude to Life i e ential for a good life. 5. All our live revolve round relation hip. Unre olved issue and relation hips keep repeating them elve until they ARE re olved, even if it i 50 year later. One of the word being u ed to de cribe thi need i "closure". o n't think you are ever" hot" of your 0called enernie ,or even of people toward whom you harbour ome sort of re entrnent.

We had no feeling of entitlement. Nor did I own my own hou. e until I wa 34. My wife and I crimped and saved to have enough to put down a depo it.

Within two blocks of Lympleigh Road were my elf and naturally my brother: WBHS Old Boy Dave tewart (who went on to become a Springbok and founder of Sport man' Warehou.e); Duncan Tnne, leading South African labour con ultant; Terry Hepworth, Headmaster of Fish Hoek Senior High School: Keith Anderson, trapeze ani t and leading et de igner for Artscape; and Jonathan Hare, now like my brother Douglas an Appeal Court judge. If ju tone treet in Plum tead could be 0 fruitful, the potential of the 600 or 0 boy eated before me in the hall i actualJy mind-blowing.

There are many weird and wonderful teacher at Wynberg. Some are loud, ome are quiet, ome are outrageou and ome are outright eccentric. While I was ining back one day. my mind wandered and I thought about school Life if all the teacher. were like one in particular. Firstly. what wouLd be the implication' if all the teachers were like Mr AUen? Well, if this were the crue, then all Wynberg men would be wellbehaved and good representative of their fan1ilie . The chool would be devoid of "empty vessel" and "hyenas". Pupil would all cro their t's and dot their electron. But, who el e might be a good template for teachers? What about Mr Badiali? With Mr Badiali come a tring of complication .. Firstly, most boys would not be able to understand him, 0 learning would become difficult. There would never be a place where boy. could wait out their free period a there would always be "a cia in here". Although all boy would have the highest computer knowledge, I think it i be t there i only one Mr Badiali. [thought ome more. What about Mr Mo er? Thi eemed a natural choice as Mr Moser i an integral pan of the chool and a quiet di ciplinarian. If all the teacher were like him, then boy would be better behaved, the corridor would be orderly. everyone would have his own copy of the chool rule and ong, written out in three colours, and tudent would all be entertained by the hilariou joke he tells. Still, maybe the Head of Academics i not uiled to all teacher at chool. Perhap a better choice would be Mr Santi, the faithful Afrikaan teacher, who sports a rather grand hair tyle. If all teachers were like her, then boy , word-order would alway be perfect and 'het' would alway be put in the correct place. Boy would all di cover the wonder of 'Bingo' and chool fees would drop dramatically becau e two rand would have to be 100

brought whenever a book wa when it hould be.

not in cia s

Finally I thought of a chool where all the teacher were like Mr Goodwin. the quiet, well-spoken grammar fanatic. Learner produced at such a chool would excel at public peaking and would be wise from many year of good advice. Debating, at a chool run by Mr Goodwin. would take preference to first team Rugby, and Xho a would become a econd language for all. After much pondering. I decided that if it ever came to pa~s that all teacher were like one in particular. then school would be quite monotonou . I think it would be be t if we could combine all the teacher' good qualitie and produce one hybrid 'super teacher'. Imagine that! Michael Klein. Grade JO.

"So it's a grey evening in the' Apple' as Charley lowly walk up to his place when he pots, with hi old eyes, thi. place. Sign 'ay it's elo ed, he notices. Now here i the intere. ting bit. Li. ten up, Tony! Under the door there lies a letter, not an ordinary lener though, it had the tamp of the 'Eastems' on it. You know the blood tain fingerprint an' all that a their stamp? Don't look o tupid. Tony! Well, anyway, this gang i least popular with our 'Charley' a all you should know. Now Charley don't give a thought to those he don't like an' for him thi letter meant omething. That the place was being claimed by the 'Ea tem'. So thi letter had not made it to the owner, 0 as not to look guilty, 'Charley' pretended to tie hi shoelace and picked up the blood tained- tan1ped letter. Who wouldn't have? Now with the letter old 'Charley' made hi way back to Forty-ninth Street and read the letter. Wait a moment, Tony! I'm gettin' there! 'Eastern . were always on the lookout for new place, 'Charley' had told us. For what he did not ay. But, if 'Good Time Charley' wa involved it wa bound to be important.

Not a man was on the treet in tho. e day, except 'Charley'. He was wearin' hi trenchcoat as not to look u piciou in 'Eastern' property. Now you remember that lerter, Tony? Good. 'Charley' had read that letter and had been invited to a meeting, only, he was not invited, if you know what I'm , ayin'. He was going as the owner of the place on Forty-ninth, but the owner would be there too. He had to look good an' mart 0 as not to look 'funny' around the 'Eastern '. It was a meeting of all sort an' for

Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

'Charley' it was a great time to catch up with a few of his least-liked 'friend', you know what I'm ayin'? 'Charley' had a lot of enemie in tho e day an' it turned out that the owner of thi certain place was one of hi oldest. So he organised a meeting with the owner, obviously not giving away who he wa, though. In true 'Charley' tyle he turned up at tbe run-down corner of a run-down street to meet the owner, Danny 'Cold Eye', with hi tru ted tommy-gun at his ideo He al 0 canied a 9mm as a back-up. It Wal a bloody affair that night, 'Charley' had ecured his place. Or 0 he thought. "Two weeks down the line, thi guy, wearin' dark glasse as only a Gangster would, turns up at 'Charley's' place on Forty-ninth. Of cour e, it was the man who knew the man who knew the man who had been killed in that 'unfortunate incident'. A it was 0 soon after the killing, 'Charley' had not yet confronted the 'Eastern ' concerning the place on Forty-ninth." Tony made a small ooi e. "What i it, Tony? What don't you get? Oh yeah, r forgot to mention the importance of thi place to 'Charley'. It wa 0 to his liking because it wa on Forty-eighth and clo e to his bigge t buddie 'place for one thing. but for another it wa in fact an old Mafia hangout that hi dad, an' mine, had run together for twenty years in the 30' and 40's. So you could imagine ol' 'Charley' , aggravation when he learned that 'Eastems' would be certain of getting il. Got it, Tony? Good. So this dark-glas es man tand in 'Charley's' old place's doorway an' call 'Charley' a terrible offence. Thi was definitely not one of 'Charley' .. good time . The man met hi fate in that doorway, ru he pulled hi pi tol out in anger. 'Charley' never liked killin' people but for the place he had to. "Now I knew 'Charley' at thi time an' he asked me to go with him to the 'Eastems' an' confront 'em. I wa, alway lookin' for a fight, but not this time. It cared the Livin' daylight out of me. So off we went into the ea t of New York an' when we got there the Bos e looked at u as if we were jokin·. 'Charley' definitely wa no(. I was dre ed mart 0 as to please 'Charley' , orders.

So a night or two later we are at this ame run-down corner of a run-down treet and again 'Charley' u es his tommy-gun and waste no money doing i4 you know what I'm ayin'? But you think we wouldn't have got far before we are urrounded and killed. No, it did not happen, 'Charley' was a clever man an' he had made another deaJ that made our live safer but a few enernie 'live a lot more 'carce. So two weeks later 'Good Time Charley' has hi place back and calls it the cry tal room. It has no crystal, but twelve table and twelve ho te e too.

It i logical therefore to as ume that money i a required part of thi equation and ha a role to play in its future development. A contra ·t to this belief is ofLen fronted by the opinion that money i. a concept introduced by man and becau e man's nature i greedy and evil, money i a tool of thi greed and evil. In truth, however. the money ystem is one that work and work very well.

Objection to the Sex Object The exploitation of human . exuality with regard to the female body ha reached catastrophic levels in our modem-day ociety. While we acclaim women' right in theory by advocating abortion (u ually after the rape which hould not have taken place) and the right to free peech, the reality leave us with a di mal land cape of plundered values and failed morality. In single- ex chools these truths are nowhere more clearly di played than in the hypocrisy and fal ehood a ociated with their value and mj ion tatements, not to mention their continuou maintaining of the e neo- Victorian waterhed principles, which persi t under the au piciou fa~ade of tradition.

Truth how that "Wynberg Boy' High School" never exi ted in 1841, the suppo. ed date of its founding, a commemorated to thi day with annual celebration .. "Wynberg School". a co-educational environment, was created with acce for all regardle of gender. religion and even race. 106

Later. when new blood entered the school principal position, the name "Wynberg" was restored for geographical reasons but the original founding principles of the once co-ed chool providing equal opportunities for all had long ince been de troyed. Thi severe exi m, which cut away at the community, al 0 coincided with the often-violent struggle for women's rights in Britain and America. The reduction of the female to the po ition of ex object then, ~ noted by femini t Germaine Greer, bears re emblance to the me age ent out in the sexualized image which saturate our society and chool now.

Thi inaccuracy and presuppo ition that single- ex chool are academically beneficial i derived from the fact that all these sillgle- ex chool were former model-C in titutions, with small c1as. e and an abundance of facilities.

All in all it infuriates me that while deprived of all natural ocial interaction and coed academic clas participation, the high traditional values of our boy -only schools ee little problem thal the minimal exposure learners do acquire in relation to the "mysterious" other sex is through half-naked images of women which act as plea ure object of decoration and exploitation, aturating their computer screens, lockers, hostel dorms, schoolbooks and files. Thi type of single-mindedness which in practice reduces the oppo, ite gender to a sexual entity only, is not ju t reserved to the detrimenta1 effect it has to womankind a a whole, as pointed out by femini t , whom Iproudly support, but alohas lhe potential to produce emotional etbacks when the viewer. the teenage male, i withheld from the normal natural ocial interaction of human beings in their innate de ire for relationships based on mutuality and genuine respect. Steve Biddulph, award-writer and male p ychologist for over twenty years, noted in hi award- winning book Manhood that: "Men or boy can tare at the photograph all they want, but it will never look back or reply in word".

South African women's publication Fairlady, in an article examining the relation hip between men and women in society today, pointed out that re earch into thi. area of vital importance wa in its infant tage, but thankfully growing, and, to my satisfaction, pre enting a front trong enough to take apart the flawed ideology of ingle- ex in titutions.

Imagine life as a drug addict! J awoke to the drone of an ajrcraft engine and the feeling of omething warm dripping down my chin. I lifted my hand to feel my face. My four front teeth were mi sing, I had a hole in my cheek, my no e was broken and my eye were swollen, nearly shut. I opened them and looked around. I was in the back of an aeroplane and there was no-one near me. I reached for the call button, found it and pu hed it. Thirty econd later an attendant arrived. "How can I help you?" "Where am I going?" "Do you not know?" "No!" "You are going "How did I get here?"

Chicago,

Sir."

"A doctor and two men brought you on board." A hort while later we touched down. 1 had no baggage, no ticket, no wallet. I at and tried to figure out what had happened. My mind was blank. I tumbled to the door of the aeroplane and waited, whiJe an attendant went to fetch a wheelchair. It later emerged that my father had booked me into a rehabilitation clinic and that my parent were going to drive me there. I did not have any other option. My face had wor ened ince I ma hed it falling, drunk, down a metal fireescape. It wa hideou ly wollen. I had trouble peaking, eating, drinking and mokjng. 1 had yet to look in a mirror. 107

We drew up out ide the clinic and all I did was stare at the long line of regular building. I wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out. I wanted to wipe my existence off the map. I look a deep breath. Let' go! They put me in a room to monitor my movements. but all J could manage to do was clo e my eye and fall into a very deep sleep. When I awoke, I noticed a gigantic bug-like creature in Ihe corner, but in my mind I knew thaI it was in actual facl not there at all. The wall began to clo e in and expand. Icould hear them. Ipre ed my hand over my ears. but that was not enough. I curled up on the floor and was cru hed by image and ound - thing I had never een or heard before or even knew exi ted. They came from the ceiling. the door. the window. the de k, the clo et. Dark hadow, bright light and flashe of blue, yellow and red. Iclawed at my kin and began biting my 路elf. J crean1ed. The nurse called for help and the men in white came in, pUI me on the bed and trapped me there. Almosl immediately they jammed a needle into my arm. Thi mark joined the many other which already appeared on my skjn. Suddenly the last e lige of energy drruned from my body and Iwas blinded by darkne . Later I tried to remember what had happened to me before arriving at the rehabilitation clinic. but my mind wa blank, becau e I am and alway will be, a drug addict. Trevor Edwards, Grade 10

fn 2004 there were two French cla<; e at WBHS - Grade 12 with Mr van Heerden and Grade 9 with Mr Hartley. This year the matric clas e were held at Wynberg, after a year of 108

the boys having to commute to Springfield for clas es. The big question is. "Wa the schlepp of walkjng there and back offset by the sheer plea ure of eeing the girl (and being seen by them, of cour e)?" Back on home territory. the Grade 12'. were seriously preparing for the matric exam. consisting of two written paper and an oral. For the oral ,a election of ubject (for example my plans for next year. the advantage and di advantage of being an adole cent) can be prepared ahead of time. Candidates alway. hope that the external examiner will light on the topic that Ihey are be t prepared for! The written exams con i t of a comprehen ion and grammar paper and one of two e ay (one narrative, one di cursive) together with a bu ine s letter. The paper are written on the ame day, a demanding experience of French immersion. All this is intensively prepared for throughout the Grade 12 year, as the exam really te t one' ability to expres thoughts, opinion ,and wi he in idiomatic and accurate French. The Grade 9 class i a beginner' clas , in which expre sions and vocabulary of ubject areas common to the live of learners of thi . age are pre ented. Thus Ihe early topic cover the cia room, the family, and getting around the community. The Grade 9 curriculum is flexible, 0 there i the opportunity to vary the topic from year to year. Thi year. getting around the community and food replaced la t year's theme of pets and other animal. . Even a decade ago, French wa. a language with faraway, foreign a ociation, a language that might have been interesting to learn, but hardly of practical use. Now lhal i changing.

LIFE ORIENTATION

Subject Head: Mr D. Ramage.

Life Orientation i one of the learning area which looks at our boys' holi tic development. There is ample evidence that ignificant ocial and health problem exi t in South Africa today. Many of these problem may be associated with the life tyles adopted by individual., particularly with respect to drug abu e. poor self-esteem. lack of tolerance, lack of productivity. H.LY. and A.I.D.S .. unhealthy eating habit and other high-ri. k behaviour.

2003 wa a hugely successful year for our matric Hi tory cia . the majority of whom compri ed the top academic et in the chool. Close on 50% of our learner achieved A' for Hi toryand. bar one, nobody achieved lower than a 'C'. Mr. Van Schalkwyk has to be congratulated becau e, from hi top et of 25, no fewer than 19 learner achieved A' . Thi will be a hard act to follow. but we have no doubt that the matric of 2004 will ee thi a a challenge and strive to emulate the achievemeJ1l of their predece. or ..

In Grade 8 thi year, we pent mo. t of our lime dealing with how our self-e teem affect our deci ion-making. We looked at ub tance abu. e among t teens, dealt with relation hips and peer pre ure and built on the morals, value. and principles already instilled in the boys.

The History Department ha" also ~adly had to take leave of an old stalwart and previou head of the department. Kallie Pretoriu ha. decided to try hi hand at other. le. strenuous tal,k

The Grade 9' had a far more facl-based approach thi year. We started preparing for the world of work by de igning C. Y.' and application letter, looking at nutrition and healthy

Wynberg once again fared well in the annual Min Quiz Competition held at UCT. Our team of Travi Edward. e ille Krige and Bradley Mulder won through to the final round where they were tied for fir t place with two other chool. Unfortunately they could not answer the udden death playoff que tion and thu could not retain the trophy won la tyear. Amid t tiff competition, particularly from technical high . chools, our team of eville Krige. Bradley Mulder and William Souter acquitted them elves well at the annual Bridge Building Competition held at Canal Walk. They were placed 20th overall with their bridge supporting a ma sof 50 kg - only 5 kg le. than a bridge de igned by a group of retired engineer. In May the Department again pre ented our annual Science Fair in the Clegg Hall. Parent . taff and boys were able to ee the high standard of the inve tigation pre ented by our enior boy. and the quality of ome of the po ter prepared by the Grade 9',. The judge. Mr. Carol Drew, found it difficult to elect the winner from the many high-quality project路, but after careful consideration cho e the project on Oscillating Water Columns (by Hami h Williams and Peter Rogers) a the be t in Grade II. and the inve. tigation on the Effect of Heat on Clay (by William Martin) as the be t in Grade 10. The be t Grade 9 poster w~ that by Bradley Venter and Derek Sackville-Scott. Five of the be t project from our Science Fair ware refined and improved and entered for the El.kom Expo, held at UCT in eptember.

Thirteen team entered for the Technology Olympiad. organi ed by the S.A. In titute of Mechanical Engineering. Their ta ks were to build a device to climb 2m up a wooden pole a. quickly as pos ible, and to carry a much weight as po sible up the pole. The difficulty of the ta k re ulted in only five team producing device that could achieve the basic goals, and three being elected to go on to the We tern Cape Regional Final . At the regional final held in Stellenbosch the model made by Bradley Mulder, Sean Laskey and Sean Whelan was the winner, and was elected to repre ent the We. tern Cape at the national final. At the national t茂nal . held in Pretoria in October, they were very narrowly beaten into second place. Con idering the total number of team entered nationally for thi pre tigiou competition. to achieve econd place nationally wa an outstanding achievement. We are very proud of this. The boys did a lot of practical work thi year, thanks to the effort of our laboratory as i tant, Samantha Peter en, who cultled between labs and up and down the tair delivering well-prepared practical. for both the Science and Biology department.

Manual Training aim' at developing the man. and not the mechanic. It aim at tho e powers of rea oning, conceiving, and con truction which are peculiar to our race. The three are in eparabie. "Construction" without "conception' i limited in it u efulnes ; both mu t be governed by the reasoning power to obtain a good re ult. Together, rea on, conception, and construction can create a la ting. though not a living, object. The brain and the hand together raise Man far above the rest of creation, together thcy fonn the triumph of the Creator's handiwork. Pupil at Wynberg re earch and de ign their own project , and a finaJ completed woodwork project i then a boy'. own creation. A project that i built by a pupil from hi. own thoughts and rea oning is an invention in the highest en e of the tenno Thi . creative power is pre ent in e ery member of the human race. All parent in til certain value in their children. In a practical subject, pupil have the opportunity to expre s them elves and often the value that parent. and taff have in tilled come to the fore. It is one of the reason , 'I firmly believe, that a ubject like Woodwork or Manual Training caters for a pupil who enjoys expre ing the values of life. Pride in oneself and one' work, appreciation of quality workman hip and even identifying it, time management and meeting deadline. and never giving up are only a few values that a ucce ful woodwork pupil learn . To the Woodwork tudent who completed their project and made a ucce of them. Well done! You certainly have done your elve and your familie very proud. The following matric pupil very high tandard ..

" Being parT of the Service Portfolio was both an eye-opening alld informative experience. It has provided us with the opportunity to develop new skills and to team //lore about our community and ourselves. It has enabled us to meet many new people along the way. What a journey it has been! I would like to extend a special thanks lO Mrs Hodgkinsol1, Rob and Richard and everyone else involved in making service for 2004 a greal success. "

SERVICE Teacher-iD-charge: Mr C. Hodgkin on. Gold Badge prefect: Alexi Grammenopoulos. Silver Badge prefects: Robert Smyly and Richard Wiese. The aim of the Service Portfolio in the school i to have all boy participating in at least one activity each year. The activity could be service at school or ervice in the community. We have challenged the Houses to become involved in House projects. MacNaughton took the lead this year with a group of Grade 11 boys building. tair outside Dil. We have a difficult time electing appeals LO upport. Almost each week, letter of appeal for various Ihinge arrive at . chool.

The committee wa led in a mo t capable way by Alexi Grammenopoulos. Hi quietly determined manner wa effective in organi ing Ihe Service Committee to achieve their goal . We rely greatly on the tutor representative to communicate effectively with the cia e. The e rep un elfi hly give up numerou break and time after chool (the dreaded Friday afternoon meetings!) to attend meetings and planning. e ion. We really appreciate their effort . The Monday extra- andwich appeal continued this year. We have a group of dedicated boy (or their moms) who make an extra few sandwiches to be collected by Feedback Food Redi tribution on Monday morning. We will advertise thi project more aggre . ively next year in order to increa e the amount of food that could be given to school children within a hort distance of thi school! Wynberg Boys' High School wa pre ent again at the One to One festival in the Good Hope 121

Ho pita!. We are grateful to the many amba sadors of the school who have been in public places doing community work. Tt is always encouraging when letters are received at chool hortly after events, thankjng the chool for the work of the boy. We have a dynamic new committee for 2005 led by A hton Van den Bergh and a number of competent leaders. We look forward to a productive and meaningful year.

Centre thi year. The handicapped children were delighted to have their face painted by our talented, and not 0 talented, face painters! Our relationship with the Habitat for Humanity organi ation (www.habitat.org.za). has continued and we helped to build hou e in Ma. iphumelele and in KTC. The town hip experiences are alway memorable for the boy~, but the most important thing is that on each occasion. they were involved with the proces of putting one more family into a decent home. The clothing collected during the year went to the Cape Town Child Welfare organisation (www.helpkid.org.za). All donation are mo t appreciated. The blanket and old towel collected for the SPCA are alway needed.

Thank you VERY much to all the parents and familie who respond to the appeals during the year. We have a core of parents who seem to get involved with all the requests and the work of the portfolio would not be sustainable without their support.

BLOOD CLINIC Teacher

Mr D. Ramage.

The We tern Province Blood Transfusion Service again came to Wynberg once a term to collect blood from the boy who were brave enough to donate. Every term there was a very po. itive re pon e from our enior boy and it was wonderful to ee new donor coming forward each time and donating an average of 30 unit per visit. Wynberg wa fortunate enough to be used as the venue for the launch of a fund-rai ing campaign run by the Service. Thi took the form of a cycle tour of blood donor, willing to put them. elves into the limelight lO create a better awarenes of the importance of donating blood. A big thank you to all the boys and taff who willingly made such a valuable donation to society. D. R.

COUNSELLING Counsellor: Staff:

Ms M. Robert on. Messrs. D. Ramage, T. Hepworth.

In a commitment to creating a caring etho at WBHS. the WBHS Coun elling Department was launched at the beginning of 2004. A you can imagine, having a full-lime coun ellar at a traditional, all-boys chool wa amething of a surpri e for many. Suffice to ay that we hit the road running and there has hardly been a dull moment since. Our department con i t of Daniel Ramage. who offers coun elling inbetween hi bu y teaching chedule and me, doing full-time counselling, with the guidance of Pastoral Deputy, Terry Hepworth. who has been a ounding-board and listening-ear for coun ellor and teacher alike. In addition. a drug and alcohol coun ellor attend the chool once a week to coun el boys who are truggling with alcohol and drug i ues. Let' face it - adole. cence is aften a ti me of emotional upheaval and inner turmoil. Various SO'e e tend la impact on a boy' choolwork, hi relationship with hi. peer and teacher' and hi behaviour in the classroom. So it is not worth ignoring the emotional tuff. At the tart of the year. I wa expecting to encounter the stereotypical stigma that often get. attached to coun elling. I aan reali ed that my expectation that boy might be reluctant to eek coun elling or have difficulty articulating their feeling. wa unfounded. Boy will eek help readily when the problem feel urgent enough. Many are articulate, sensitive and in tune with their feelings. Type of i . ue that have ari en thi year are drug and alcohol related problem . identity is ue, depre ion and anxiety. di ruptive behaviour problems, tres and anger management, conflict/fights and lo s and bereavement. Various peaker have been invited to peak to the boy. including a ocial worker from Childline, who educated the boy on child exual abu e, and a volunteer from AIAnon who talked about the effect of a family member' alcoholism on the family. A child and adolescent psychiatrist was invited la addre the taff on A.D.H.D. (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Di order). 124

Counselling i voluntary and confidential and boys are encouraged to find their own olution. to their difficultie . with the upport of the coun ell or. I have been inspired by the re i1ience 1 have witnes ed in these teenagers. Whichever way you look at it. "the feeling mafia" (as [ have heard the counselling department being referred to) i here to stay! M. R.

CWESI COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTRE CWESl experienced another stable year with the vibrant Founder's Day celebration attended by Western Cape MEC for Education, Mr Cameron Dugmore, being among the highlight. Our matric students continued lO hine with an overall pass rate of 74% being achieved in 2003. Particularly noteworthy wa Elizabeth Morri. ' B-symbol in Geography, a superb achjevement! Overall numbers increased slightly to 140. We were very pleased to welcome new teachers in Mrs Bukelwa Wana (Xhosa literacy) and Mr Brian Judkow ki (Bu. iness Economics). 2004 was the first year of the new, rationalised timetable being in full operation. Matric dasse' were generally bigger and some financial avings accrued. Centre Manager Mr Roger Goodwin dealt very efficiently with all matter. relating to the WCED and kept CWESl's book in good order. continues a the generou host of with Deputy Headmaster. Mr Larry Mo er, erving as a direct link and supporter on the CWESl Governing Body. His hard work and facilitation are deeply appreciated. Mr Mariano Badiali succeeded in linking up CWESI's two adminjstrator with the WBHS computer network, which will allow corre pondence and admini tration to be done in "working" hour at the chool, a major bonus. On Founder's Day the Interact boys, the Steel Band and the Wynberg Tea ladies were again wonderfully upportive.

Mrs Portia Mbude-Muthshakwane continued to be our link at Metropole South headquarters and we are very plea ed to have her cheerful and efficient ervice to hand. The Southern Metropole organised a workshop at Saldanha for Governing Bodie in July, whjch Mr Goodwin and Mr Young attended. It Wal in many way an inspiring experience. as members of variou communities were being empowered to run their centres.

This year the learners were repre ented by Chairperson, Geraldine Sylvester and Secretary, Keith Chandler. The LRC initiated a fund-raising drive which the tudent upported well. CWESl's Robben Island booking somehow got mislaid by the organi er of events during International Literacy Week bul Mr Goodwin stepped into the breach by leading a tour of Simon' Town, including a boat ride around the harbour. As he is an hi torian and omething of an expert on the area, our students were very lucky indeed and enjoyed them elve immensely. Mr Sylve ter led another group of tudent on an outing to Parliament, which was much enjoyed. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

FOUNDER'S DAY We were delighted to have Mr Cameron Dugmore. Western Cape MEC for Education, as our pecial guest and he was full of prai e for Mrs William on (CWESl's founder), our funders (the SA Club in Berlin) and Wynberg Boy' High for their unique initiative in making their facilitie available to CWES!. The event was a particularly happy one Witll Mr Matlakala of the literacy class in piring everyone in the audience to get up and dance when the Steel Band began their flTSt, vibey number. The CWESl choir did us proud and pa.;;t student Vuyo Higa sang a beautjful traditional Xhosa number in hi. be t bass voice. Mr Michael 'literacy cla did a wonderful tage play about a teacher who is late for class - but had a good excu e! We were again fortunate to have the upport of Pick 'n Pay and the Wine-of-the-Month Club, whjch kept our co t to the minimum for thi important event. Some individual donors also kindly gave li money on the occa ion of Founder' Day.

Among these wa a link to the "Ubunchu" project of the Constantia Village Shopping Centre. They did not choose us as a beneficiary this year but allowed us to market ourselve at the hopping centre. Because of the new timetable (pha ed in over two years and fully operational in 2004), we have saved a con iderable amount of money.

CWES} has the potential to grow, by revamping the Governing Body and by looking to the ea t for new tudents. The proce . of revamping the Governing Body will happen in 2005. and the idea of variou defined con tituencie providing member for the Governjng Body will be explored. The Governing Body hould be more rep re entative than it currently is, and it mu t include people who bring skill and contacts that we currently do not have. [n the interim the Governing Body agreed that two person who have expre ed intere t hou]d be invited to join: Mr Anne Sutherland and Mr Reggie Brown. They have ub equently agreed (happily for u ) and will help the Governing Body shape the new Governing Body in 2005. John Young

PEER SUPPORT The motivation behind Peer Suppon is that teenagers will often tir.l turn to their peer for informal help and guidance before eeking professional help. In 2003, after a survey a e ing boys' attitudes towards the concept of peer upport howed that there wa~ favourable support, the WBHS Peer Support projecl was staned. This has not been an easy projecl to manoeuvre in the school a it is something very new for a traditional boys' chool, and new idea take time to establi. h their root. evenhele ,it ha been a rewarding and exciting project to be in olved in and i lowly starting to tlouri h. The peer . upporter' trajning con i t of a Communication and Counselling Skills Cour e that i. run onee a year, a well as ongoing workhops around is. ues uch as developmental life tages. listening kill and contlict mediation. The current Peer Support group compri e. 10 boys from Grade 10 and Il. The group i committed, interested and motivaled lO make a difference in the. chool. They meet twice a week - once on their own a a group and once with the coun ell or. They talk about different problem. in tJle chool and di cu how they can respond relevantly. Their photograph are di played on a notice board. 0 tllat other boy can identify them. Thi year the focus has generally been on mental healtll. The peer upporters visited Valkenberg Hospital where they met with a p ychiatri t. They are currently planning to be involved in the new Grade 8' orientation lO the school in 2005 and will also be ho ting a networking eening at the end of the first terrn next year. We are hoping next year to have a peer ~upport representative from each House. The Hou e can then utili e the ervice oftheir own peer upporter. as the need ari e . The highlight. of 2004 have been the networking events with peer helpers from other chool such ru pringfield, Bergvliet High.

My goal to pu h our experience and kill out into the profe. ional ide of theatre, ound and lighting, has been achieved. After having equipment damaged, we have fixed, built and made up what we needed. lt i not the be t but i enough to do the job. Wynberg i probably the only school that has a proper Technical Crew that gets hired by outsiders.

Wynberg ha been elling econd hand booh since 1998 when Mr Alien and I were a ked to open a book room. Over the years we have refined our method and now feel that we run an efficient and valuable ervice for parent, new book being a expen 'ive a.<; they are. For the most part, book. can be bought for well under half the new price. The Book Room i . iruated on the ground noor at the end of D corridor. At the end of each year, boy" are encouraged to bring in their book. for ale. Mr Allen and I a. e!> their worth according to the condition of each book, and offer them for ale every afternoon during the final examinations. We also open the Book Room for a whole day once pupil have left at the end of the year and again before chool open the following year. Boy who look after their book well can receive almost what they paid for them - in e ence they end up merely borrowing a book for the year in many ce. As we charge a R2.00 . ervice fee per book, we are al 0 able to give a ub tantial amount of money to the chool each year. J.

There have been ob tacles in our way but we have overcome most of them. At the beginning of thi year, we had only four technical crew members ( enior ), but with plenty of much appreciated help from Chri Smith and Grant Faier , we have increa. ed our crew to twelve well-trained, . kilful and committed men.

This season aw a repeat of the last four years, as Wynberg dominated the Southern Zone. We once again produced brilliant performance that underlined the quality of the players that the school has. We also had two welcome and regular additions to the learn in lamie Tindill (Gmde 8), and Dire han Pillay (Grade 9). whilst Lyndon Jacob. and Darren Moller represented Wynberg on one and two occa"ions respectively. lamie' kilful and talented performances at the W.P.

In conclusion and with an eye on the future, I would like to express the team's excitement at having two opportunitie to take on our perennial rival (the other boys' . chool ) next year. a the Rondebosch Che Festival will be added to the calendar in 2005 and the SACS.

The year started somewhat tentatively. Wa thi. to be a repeat of la t year when, on a good evening' practice. we would have no more lhan fifteen boy? Wa Wynberg finally going to have to call it a day with regards to singing? at so! Within a few week. thanks to the effort of a core group in the choir. we were joined by a number of new boys, and I began to realize that there was the potential for building a very good choir. Then came the Cultural Tour. Something happened on lhi tour, which I believe may have been the catalyst for establishing of a new aUi-

rude towards singing in the school. The boys began to experience the ati. faction of performing to appreciative audience and of making mu ic together, a well a the camaraderie that goe with it. Singing ha the ability to move people.Their performance at McGregor did ju t that. Many member of the audience were moved to tear by their rendition of Let the people sing. On our return our numbers were boosted yet again by ome members of the band, intere tingly, particularly from the steel band! We've had some super repertoire to work on and it is alway. immen ely ati fying to hear the boy, expre their approval of the mu ic and ee the enjoyment in their faces when they hear the beauty of the harmonies they are producing. Ye, inging is alive and well al Wynberg! This was aloevident at Founder' Day when the singing of the hymn and choolongs wa the be t I have heard in year. Special thanks must go to Mr Botha, without who e a i tance the training of thi, choir would not be possible. My hope for 2005 i that we can build on the dynamism that ha come about and become a bigger choir. thereby allowing more and more boys to experience the fun of inging. N.

The Cape Town Eisteddfod was particularly exciting as there were six band competing. Once again we were the winner of the ection. The Cultural Tour in July made a huge difference to the Band' ability to perform effectively. The tour was fantastic. We worked hard, played well and had lots of fun. Apart from the tour, the Band gave tunnjng performance. throughout the year. Some performances of note were the Wynberg School Concert at the Baxter Theatre, the SACS Fe tival and the Cultural Evening.

All in aJl, the Senior Debating year was an exciting one with a great v~iety of topic and issue being debated. The Junior alohad more ucce e than failure, winning all but one debate in the Rotary League. Unfortunately, they went down to Grey. Karl, Mba a and Richard all worked hard in their preparation, and fared excellently in light of the fact that they were all relatively new to debating itself, and to the ew World School style of debating in particular.

GAMING SOCIETIES Teacher

in charge:

Mr M. Badiali.

Another year has passed and what wonders we have experienced! As we told you last year, we had to plit up into three distjnct societies but with trong tie to one another. This year each of the group developed a strong leadership and inlere l. Role-Playing Chairman:

Games. Davi Araujo.

A role-playing experience is always different. You could play the same game over again alld have a completely different experience if some new players were added. As in real life, each person brings a different flavour to the character he plays. Players and Iheir characters have differenl motivalions and it is those, mostly opposing motivations, that lead to a great deal of interaction between the characters and the players and the situations engineered by the GamemasIer via his descriptions and roleplaying of non-player characters (called NPC's). These situations and imagination create excitement and a feeling of danger.

The society had regular meetings after school o that portsmen could also take part. We managed to obtain ague. t Gamema ter (GM) lO run a campaign on Wednesday. This i what the Chaimlan has to say:

So if it sounds like something you wouLd like to check out, head down to the RolePlaying Society. You may only play once but the experience will definitely be something you do not forget in a hurry.

The Role-Playing Game Society has had its first year as an independent. It was focused on 'Dungeons & Dragons', and two incredible campaigns took place. Many members leorned to play and now enjoy the hobby of Role-Play.

The highlight of the year for RPG wa WORG Day on Saturday 16 October - the 30th worldwide anniver ary of the original role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. We had gue t Gamema ters running various advenrures and an inlroducLory e ion of a new and very funny card game called Munchkin.. The be t part of the day wa that a few Old Boys, some neighbour and a large number of members from UCT's Claws, the equivalent of our RPG Society, came along, expres ing keen intere t in making lhi, a regular occurrence, as well a sugge, ling way to promote role-playing in chool.

Thanksfor the commitment ond time members spent to make Ihis a great society, to Christo {the external GM J for his care and patience with the games all Wednesdays and to Mr Badiah for aIL his help and guidance. Mr Chri to De Beer, wa kind enough to compile a report as well: With new games and even more players joining the society, it has grown ill many. ond sometimes unexpected, ways. The uninitiated ask what is role-playing? Most people have some experience of board games, computer games alld many others. A role-playing game requires that you place yourself ill the shoes of Ihe character vaLI create. Whether it is a fanlasystyle game or some sci-ft adventure, all role-playing is built on Ihe concept Ihat you are the character, aCling out, by LI ing your imagination, the way that character would behave. Computer games usually do this, but in a very linear manner.

War Game. Chairman:

Fran

Cronje.

Thi i a small but dedicated group which often meet aL weekend. This year, while meeting to di cus the be t trategies for their table-top. miniature armie , they al 0 focused on new gaming experience which would allow rudents, who cannot afford Lo collect miniature, to enjoy the game a well.

Collectable Card Games. Chairman: Ya er Soopee. Thi Society is usually limited by space more than by interest, as many pupils. Grades 8 and 9 in particular, are keen in players. Ya ser Soopee, a previous national conlender in Magic: the Gathering, ha" managed thi rather large society while en uring that the dedicaled players can increase their skills in Pokemoll, Magic and the currently popular Yu-Gi-Oh. Most members (and ome non-member) have played the games during breaks and Society Periods and have taught one another new games. Here i what the Chairman has to ay: With a vast number of collectable card games rangillg from the easy. such as 'Pokemon', to the more technical, such as 'Magic: The Gatherillg', this society has inspired new interest in the study of coLLectable c{/rd games. This society has been at w()rk 110t only in societies period. but for some of the dedi, cated members, in every single break. We

have instigated a school taL/moment ill which members challenge one another in their OWII games and prizes are awarded to the winners and nIT/ners-up. A many parents know, many of the e game are expen ive, particularly if collected over a long time. The aim of these three ocieties is lO teach other how to play the game . make friends and have fun. In order lo do thi . we will be etting up a library for members only, to allow them to borrow item they might not be able to afford. In order to raise funds, a Sociely member hip fee will be levied and tournament and WORG Day will be run. The big event thi year will be on Saturday 4 December. It will involve a scholar only Magic Tournament (with prizes), a well a demonstrations of role-playing, war games and as orled card game such as The Great DaImLIfi (one for the whole family) and Munchkin. This event will be advertised at other chools and next year we may be able to have an Inter-School Tournament. M.B.

Gi en that Cuys and Dolls i certainly no modern mu ical in the Lloyd-Webber tyle, what gave this produ tion il appeal? For me. the following element were vital: The authentic black-and-white magic lantern lide that opened each act to the accompaniment of a magnificent overture by the orchestra. The pot and neon light that brought the darkne of Broadway to life for u .

Every movement of the how had that trace of cOnUc energy. above all in the character of Nicely-Nicely Johnson (Edward O'Reilly). Edward' teetering, tottering, tumbling routine while te tifying in the Salvation Army chapel was a show- topper. Brilliant!

Just a word about movement, although from a layman. I thought the company really u ed the playing area to maximum effect - each ector was a foeu of intere t. with the trained dancers (weren't they all?) in centre stage moving superbly, often with lovely en emble, control and balance. How many hour went into that lot? But, even those not in the lime-light, doing their thing with attention and enjoyment, contributed, in a riot of action and colour, to the mo, t sati fying total picture.

MoAoDo EVENING In Augu t, an evening of Music, Art and Drama was held in the Clegg Hall. Guests were greeted by the intoxicating sounds produced by the Steel Band. The enthusiasm of the players wa infectious and et the tone for a perfect evening. Art work done by the Art student were on di play around the hall and were of a very high tandard indeed, thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of Mrs M. Colman. Gue ts were given the opportunity to admire the paintings while drinking a glass of wine or fruit juice and nibbling delicacie provided by the hard working Ladies As ociation, and then were treated to some African music by girl from the Girl ' High School, before the Drama Club performed their award winning Creative Adverti.ement . The Seniors were particularly innovative and funny.

The Jazz Band, under the baton of Alex Gibbons, provided a wonderful big band sound and then the choir, trained by Nolene Dunn, reached an almost professional level. Their extract from 'Les MiserabIes' brought tears to many eyes. The extracts from 'Guys & Dolls' were outstanding, considering that they had Last been performed in May, but the highlight for me was the Concert Band. My, they have come a long way in the last year! Congratulations to Mr Peter Catzavelos. Mr Brian Botha needs special mention. He holds the Music Department together and it is going from strength to strength.

Thi year Wynberg ha ... maintained it~ reputation as onc of the top. porting schools in the country. There have been many highlight during the year, but the events which eem to tand out are: Sport day; the Grey weekend (which wa ho<;ted by Wynberg thi year) and the number of [nter-Hou e competitions. Both the Fir t Cricket and Fir t Hockey team were number one in the country, and the quash side wal> number four. So. it really has been an awesome year for Wynberg sport. One factor that en. ured ucce~s was that no Wynberg team or ports man ever gave up. I would like to wi h the Sport!> Committee for 2005 the be t of luck. 1 have no doubt they will en ure that Wynberg' sporting reputation will cominue lO impro e.

AQUATICS Having in talled healer. and covers for our wimming pool during 2003. we ran a winter aquatics club, which wa open to pupil, from the four Wynberg chool and from outside choals. Tru was run ali a buo ines and pupil had to pay to enjoy the coaching of experienced water polo player, like icholas-Jol1 Molyneux and Travi Kriedemann. who al 0 took wimming training. Thi proved to be a great ucce and, hopefully, will be expanded in future.

Sadly, badminton lo t the driving force of both Mr Barry Greenwood and Mr Gareth Davies this year, a. well as a large number of senior player. Only two choolleagues were in operation this season, which was just as well, as we had only twelve player, ome of whom would inevitably be unavailable for matches occaionally because of illnes, or injury. These twelve were a. keen a mu tard. and loyally undertook the long walk to the Defence Hall, in all weather, twice a week. It i a great pity that we do not have courts on call1pu . The fir t team had a very succe. ful sea on too strong for mo t of their oppo ition, but fini hing econd in the league to Ned Doman. who beat us oundly 9-1 in the 2nd term, but only managed to beat us in the 3rd term by 5 points after games were drawn 4-4. [n addilion to our league matches, on Founder' Day the boy took on two old boys (the only two to show), Gareth Davie and Sam Pearson, and thoroughly enjoyed their game, despite being 'oundly thumped.

Such was the enthusia m for Badminton, that Richard Bolland organized a tournament on the la t Monday of the ea on, to encourage other boy to try the game and, hopefully, swell our numbers next year. 24 boys arrived and had 0 much fun they did nOLwant to go home.

forcing them to hoot from out ide, the Wynberg team wa able to capitalize on the excellent rebounding kill of Sindano Nekundi, Gary van Niekerk, and Joel Kalipi to launch our own offensive attack. Eric Raymond and Tshepo Puoane were in trumental in forcing numerous turnovers which starved the opposition of quality ball po ,e ion. Offen ively, we were better able to capitalize on opposition turnover and rum them into points. The fourth term match again t Bi hop wa perhap the hjghlight of the season. Despite being at a clear height disadvantage against an extremely tall Bi hops team, Wynberg was able to hit basket from outside the key, eventually inking five three-pointer (Eric Raymond - 3 and William Chiang - 2) and aggre sively forcing the Bi hop big men to take rash shots. To he thi match by only two points was omething of a moral victory for the team. and an encouragement for next year. Our newly-found confidence, together with the prospect of new court and a new playing trip for all three team , ha produced a great pirit of optimi m for 2005. 165

CRICKET lt has been a remarkable year for Wynberg Cricket. Our I st Xl has been ranked number I in the country for the last year and a half (other than for a 2 week period owing to a 'technical glitch') and they have produced a set of results unlikely to be equalled for many years. Their win ratio was unbelievable and the positive way they always approached the game rubbed off on the junior cricketers and created a tremendous buzz in the cricket club. The U ISA Cricket team had a di appointing first term, but really turned things around in the 4th term. After a successful cricket tour to Keamsey in Natal they lo t only to Bishop, while soundly beating RBHS and tying with SACS. Our U 14A team is certainly a team of the future. Not ince our pre ent Ist XI wa in Grade 8, has a set of re ults 'uch a the e been achieved. They lost three game during the year, to RBHS (twice - one rain affected) and to Hilton (at the Hilton festival in Natal) Results at trus age are meaningless, however, if le ons are nol learned and Ihe players do not grow as cricketers. It is sometimes more difficult to build on good re ults than on bad ones, becau e the boy may think they have nothing to learn. I do hope Ihat thi i not the ca e here.

Coach: Captain:

The team' trength lay in how po itive they were. Everything wa geared to winning - not avoiding defeat. The batting had depth with Cha e, Halkett, auhaus, Stanton and Norri Jone backing up the talented duo of Levi and Telo. The bowling wa a lot better than it wa last year, with Lotter etting the trend, but it was generally the spin duo of Main and Ehrenreich who claimed the wicket . Then there was the fielding. Norri -Jone (who can forget the catch at Newland ?), Halkett, Telo and Cha e were absolutely brilliant catcher ..

THIRD TEAM

The team was ably led by Keenan Topley, who took over from Sheldon Labuschagne in the fourth term. Mo t of our victorie were fairly convincing and all our losses, with the exception of the first term loss to Rondebosch, were clo e. The most pleasing match wa the solid drubbing we gave Rondebosch, to make up for our sound defeat at their hand in the first term. The most disappointing los, wa that uffered at the hands of Bi. hop in the fourth term. We had declared our inning clo ed on what we thought would be a relatively afe 225/6 only to have Bi hop overhaul our "safe" total. with ome over to spare.

However, a fighting innings of 66 by Cunliff and an aggressive inning of 55 not out by BadhamThornhill gave us the victory. This fighting spirit again came to the fore against Bishops. Winning the to s and electing to bat. we scored a paltry 78 run all out. We were not expected to win from this position, but an in pired peil of seam bowling by Kyle Scott, that included a hat-trick. aw u di mi Bishop for 38 run .

ability. Had the boy produced the cricket they are capable of more con istently. the re ults may have been different. If there i one hard lesson they must learn, it is never to give up. I am sure though that the player will go on to greater thing in enior cricket during their Jast few ea on at Wynberg. U 15 crickeI is the time. very often, when boy develop most in a ingle season, and the difference in this ide's approach and all-round performance over the course of Ihe year was marked. We lost only one of our last ,even matche which was indicative of the improvement in their play. The team often lo t it game in the field. There wa clearly an ability to put oppo ition team under pressure. but missed chances frequently proved very co tly. On a few occaion however, very poor batting put the team in no-win situations. [n Lategan and Willemse we had a very good opening attack. The e two were ably supported by the accurate medium pace of Sabarra and Priem. In the lale tage of the year both Murphy and Collin look up the challenge of bowling with the new ball in Lategan ' absence and they did this very competenlly. The pin bowling of McKellar and, latterly. of Thorburn proved very economical on mo t occa ion. Riding bowled very well in Ihe fir t half of the eason and shows good promi e a a left arm spinner. Fenton proved, on a number of occa ions, that he has what it takes to bowl at the death of any match. It wa in the latter part of the year that our batsmen really began to show their metal. Piet and Cardi proved 10 be a highly effective opening combination. regularly etting an opening tand of over 50 runs. Their 100 run partner hip, that gave u a 10 wicket win over Rondebosch, was particularly satisfying. I am very sure that both of Ihe e player will play with di tinclion in higher teams at Wynberg. Fenton batted well at the beginning of the year and, apart from one or IwO good knock near the end, eemed to ave hi be t for w.P. Hi inning again t Paarl. coring 49 in 49 0 ers, proved to be a match-winning performance. Kleinveldt is arguably one of the mo. t fluent batsmen I have coached. 176

Being a left-handed, belligerent. triker of the ball, he took apart a number of attacks. [f he look back, however, he will know that he hou[d have scored more run. Often. producing runs at uch a fa t rate wa his undoing. The centuries he made Ihi year. e pecially his 127 not oul against Bellville, will be remembered for a long time. The other players all chipped in with the bat at reguJar inlervals, but much improvement is needed if they hope lo become e tablished batsmen. Chris Maggs developed into a promi ing wicket-keeper during the year and took ome nice catche as the sea on progre sed. The only players to lay real claim 10 being all-rounder were Willemse and Fenton. Overall, thi team that enjoyed their cricket, had a good spirit and were thoughtfully captained by Fenton. There is a lot of taJent here, and they were lucky to benefit from a tour to Kearsney College in September in which they did very well. They have been extremely well supported in every sen e by their parents, who rallied around to make ure that the tour wa a ucces. I would like to pay peciaJ tribute to Mrs. Fenton for all the time and effort he put into co-ordinating and organizing mo t thing around the cricket, and to Mr Sabatta for organizing the fund-rai ing. With this team moving up, Wynberg cricket will be in good hand.

U 15B cricket ha been outstanding thi year. The boy have hown character and commitment throughout the eason. We tarted with a Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

win against Paul Roos but there were a few problems still to be addre sed. The boys worked hard and aan cut the errors out of their game. They won the next eight games in a row and were et for a perfect season. The econd la t game of the season was again t Bi hop and was probably our toughe t becau e a couple of our key players had moved up to the A team. The game tarted trongly but our fielding let us down and we lo t by 25 runs. Becau e of thi loss, the boys worked extra hard and in our last game of the eason again t SACS. came up with a brilliant performance and won by 70 runs to wrap up an almost perfect season. I would like to thank all the parents who upported the boys and me this sea on and the boys for the privilege of coaching them. r wi,h them all the best. M.B. UNDER 15C Mr R. Moolman. L. Moorradd.

We also had a number of bowlers and aften u ed even or eight during a game. Matthew El worth needs special mention because he hardly ever bowled a bad ball and alway seemed to be our trump card. Murray Bing and Rowan Daly also bowled well, while Noor Davids and Stephen Souter came to the fore in the fourth term and picked up a number of wickets. The highlights of the year were beating SACS twice and beating Rondeba ch the econd time round. The most exciting game was definitely again t Bi hop which ended in a tie, both team bowled out for 110. The low point of the year wa the loss against Bishop, the first three bat men all being run out.

Team:

At the tart of the year, the team wa managed by Mike HoweiJs. He had a relaxed coaching style, which wa reflected in the core. The fir. t game I coached wa. again. t Herzlia in October. The boys had a strong team pirit. Everyone got on uperbly and this wa very evident when they were fielding. We had many top-cl as. bowlers. Brin ley and Lwando. the openers. had great technique and good pace, often bowling maiden and regularly taking en ational wicket. Sive, Dane and Wesley were great line and length bowlers but had the extra kick of ome swing and the occaiona] yorker. They made few mj takes and proved to be quality bowlers. However, the rest of the team could alobowl very efficiently. Thomas Burgers. EI Capitano. i one of the polite t chap around. His cricketing etiquette is perfect and he always encouraged his team to clap the batsmen onto and off the field. Tactically, Thoma knew where to place people but not at which time. However, this wa ea iJy remedied. Thi bring me onto batting. The boy were, to put it bluntly, reckles in their batting perfomlance . In every game, four or more player were caught playing acro the line or trying tricky hot路 off the wrong deliverie . I wa disappointed but not annoyed. If r had had more time. [ would have taught them which hots to play off the deliverie and which balls to mack out of the ground. However, I feel there were some very valiant innings with the bat. Every single one of the players felt comfortable with a bat and I often aw ome great hot . There i huge potential within thi team and I wi h everyone all the be t for the future. J.

The highlight of the year ha to be the number of boy, who have gained national colours - half the First Team. One would have to single out Lloyd orri -Jone , who played a major role in the S.A.

The tour to Johanne burg was one of the mo t enjoyable I have ever been on. What can make Wynberg even prouder than their re uIL, was their behaviour both on and off the field, and the festival spirit they howed. It made me very proud to see our boy sharing in the pirit of the KES Festival a well as they did.

Team: D. Stalllon (vc) L. Norris-Jone .

The fLrst team went on to play another twenty five matches during the re t of the eason. They were undefeated in league matche , except for losing to Rondebosch. What a pity the organizers would not wait until our players returned from National Duty and the U21 LPT. The mo t memorable league match was the big 5 - 0 win over Bi hops. It has been very plea ing to maintain dominance over our local rivals, especially as they have produced an ahnost equal number of National Players. Beating Paul Roo in Stellenbo ch, at the Marie ' "Hou e of Pain" was al 0 very ati fying. The players showed great patience in breaking down a olid PRG defence.

The First Xl capped a wonderful three-years (2002 - 2004) by playing their 100th match in the Knock-Out Cup final. This eason was as long ru last year's and the team once again played 36 matches - 37 including the Old Boys' match. Trial and pre-season training once again started in late March when our schedule wa hectic. Our first match against Hilton proved to be very tough a there were new rule to contend with and Hilton made better use of the aerial baH into the circle than we did. evertheless, the boys went on to win the tough encounter 3 - 2. This win set up a good introduction to the Founders' Fe tival. ho ted at SACS thi year. It was very pleasing to end Founder ' unbeaten for the second year nmning - a record that will be very tough to equal in the future. A day after the Founders' Fe tival, the tearn boarded a plane to Johannesburg for a fir t-time appearance at the now very popular KES Easter Festival. The player enjoyed a fairly easy start to the Fe rival against a very young, inexperienced Westville ideo winning comfortably. Easter Saturday aw Wynberg produce what I believe may have been their best day of hockey ever, beating St. Johns' College and Grey College in ide four hour. It must be tre sed that the senior player produced some dazzling hockey in these two matche and undoubtedly made the difference. The effort required to pull off thi mammoth feat took it toll on the player' and unfortunately we lost to KES 2 - I the next morning. It was clear that after such a long Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

The regional cup competition once again reverted to an FA Cup format. This aw Wynberg drawn to play Rondebo 'ch in round I. Tru match could have gone either way for 50 minutes and Wynberg was lucky, to a degree, to walk away winner. The semi-final again t Pinelands was not quite as easy as the league match had been and, having defended very well, Pineland cored a late equali er to send the match into extra-time. Extra-time did not last long, with Erasmus and Norri -Jones linking up beautifully to set up the winning goal. The knock-out final wa arguably one of the mo t ten e hockey matche I have ever been involved in. Turning I - 0 up at half time, Wynberg eemed et to win thi match comfortably, but a keen Fairmont tearn had other ideas. Equalising hortly after half time, they turned the match on its head with three goals coming in the pace of ten minute . With the cores level at 2 - 2 and with no more than eight minute left, it was very tense indeed. True grit and determination saw Wynberg add another two goals in the dying minute to retain the trophy 4 - 2. Wynberg has proved to be a good knock-out tearn. having made the final in four out of five year , and having won three of the four finals. 185

Ryan Watts (Sweeper, Blues, Constantia Hockey Trophy - Most improved). Certainly. one of the biggest assets to the team this year. His ability to keep things tight at the back gave the player in front of him the confidence to play attacking hockey. Hi' hitting has improved and thi ha made him a better all-round player. Alexi Grammenopolous (Outside half, Blues). Alexi played another. ea. on of fearle. s hockey. Enjoying the attacking aspects of hi po ilion, he continued to improve this year and often made the difference in our attackin"0 . bulld-ups down the right. T think his short game can improve, but hi tackling and distribution arc superb. I alute the team that repre ented Wynberg thi year and appreciate the effon that they put into their hockey. The boys with whom I have had the privilege of working. have made my time as coach a truly memorable one. For any team to core over 300 goal in two hockey seasons is ab olulely remarkable. The lOp player have gone on to be rewarded with higher honour and I would like to congratulate Rhett Halkert. Jonty Robin on, Lloyd orris-Jone.. Devin Stanton and Vaughn Erasmu on being elected for the S.A. U21 Squad to play again l England and Scotland at the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005. Lloyd al 0 repre ented S.A. U21 in the Junior World Cup Qualifier in Egypt - well done! DUJing the 2002 - 2004 period in which the e boy played, Wynberg Ist XI hockey played 100 matche , won 91. lo t 7 and drew 2. Thi is a record that may well stand for many years before it i equalled. PLAYER PROFILES: Dean Mason (Goalkeeper, W.P. V18A, S.A. Vl8A [re erve], Blues). Dean truggled with injury thi year, but often played through the pain quite manfully. While he produced a much beller. eason than in 2003, I think there are aspects of Deans' game that can improve. Dean i a wonderful team man and kept the spirit high in defence especially when the going got tough. 186

Craig Ellis (Outside half, Blues, Bromberger/Clark Shield - Contribution to Hockey). Craig made the left half po ition his own thi year. There was never any doubt when he was playing there that oPPO ition would struggle to penetrate. He has continued to play with maturity and has become a olid player. He worked hard on getting the ball forward this year and, as a re uit, made u a far more dangerou team because we could start attacking from the left as well. Devin Stanton (Central defender, W.P. V18 A, S.A. U19 [U21 [PT], S.A. V21 Squad, Honours). Devin proved what I aid in hi profile last year. He cored 24 goal thi year - the 7th highe t score in the country. He led well a a vice-captain and showed great maturity in marshalling the defence. His. peciali:t skills are uperb and earned him hi call up to the U21 Squad. Devin played 123 matche for Wynberg I t XI - a pecial achievement! Rhett Halkett (Central Midfield, W.P. U 18 A [capt.], S.A. VISA [capt.], S.A. V21 Squad, Honour ). Rhett ha brought great pride to Wynberg with hi achievements. His pa ion and determination have spurred the team on to achieve what they have. One critici m would be that, perhap. Rhett could improve on hi pace around the field. He cenainly has improved on hi overhead pa. ing ~ince la t year, and has developed the special . kill of being able to Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

overhead on the run. I. alute Rhen for hi support of me a a coach and appreciate all that he has done for Wynberg hockey. Etienne Davis (Outside mid field, Blues). Once again, Etienne gave us the cover we needed in a variety of po itions. Alway positive about his game he committed hi lime to the game de pite call on it from a ariety of other activitie. He worked hard this year on po e. ion retention and clearly improved his ability to distribute the ball. Stewart Plimsoll (Utility midfield, Colours). Stewart continued lO add the dynamic edge and hi. close skill was. at times, omelhing to marvel at. He must, I believe. still let go of the ball a little sooner to be at his best. Slewart was a valuable team man and hi wiIJingnes to serve wherever and whenever called upon made him a great a set to the team. Jonty Robinson (RightlLeft mid6eld, W.P. VISA, S.A. VISA, S.A. V21 Squad, Honours). Jonty ha" retained hi title of "faste t injector". This skill will definitely ee him go places in later years. He ha improved his pa sing game thi year. which ha. been of great benefit to the team. Hi po itive approach to hi own game, and being les critical of himself, has made him enjoy the game more and helped him improve. Lloyd Norris-Jones (Striker, W.P. U1SA, S.A. VISA, S.A. U21, Honours, Top Goal scorer in S.A. in 2(04). Lloyd proved hi value to the team thi year by corino<:> 37 <:>ooal - more than 20% of the team's goals. His defensive work has improved and his ability to contribute in other areas of the game has made him a better allround player. Hi di cipline continues to improve, and if I can give advice, it would be to leave umpiring to umpires! Vaughn Erasmus (Striker, W.P. UiSA, S.A. ViSA, S.A. V2i Squad, Honours). Vaughn truggled lremendou ly with injuries and hi health this year. It wa a great pity that he was not able to play many of the tour matches. Vaughn ha great insight into the game and continue to show vision that i well beyond hi experience of the game. His defenive work is omething that he can be proud of as well. Look after the injuries Vaughn. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

Farell Benjamin (Striker, W.P. VISB, Blues). Farell continue to be a con i tent player but need to improve some flair skills. He worked very hard on his ability to beat defenders and this hawed in hi game. He could till improve his receiving skill. Sometimes his awarene s of the game could improve. Farell proved, however, that by being un elfi h, the leam get ahead. Wayne Winter (Striker, Colours). Wayne was the younge t member of the I st Xl thi year and was often overshadowed by his more experienced team-male. While Wayne i probably the most determined and griny player 1 have ever coached, he mu t work much harder on hi basic skill. Hitting and receiving 100% perfectly only come from elf-discipline and extra practice. Wayne ha the ability to go to the next level, but will need to make sure that his mental approach is controlled.

J. Child.

The. e stati tics speak volume, about a team that has achieved much uccess this year. Fir t I would like to say well done to you all. You can all be proud of your achievements this year. This doe not mean, however, that you can sit back and take a bite out of the 'comfort zone cake'. Each of you mu t look back and identify the mo t important le on that you have learnt from thi eason, and lake them with you into the future. They can be learnt from tbe time when, as a team and as individual, you let yourselves down and did not do your e)ve ju rice. However, think back lO the times when the team pulled together and played like Wynberg kings. 1 can thjnk of many game and a few in particular. In our hard-fought draw again t Grey (P.E.), we worked hard for every inch of that field. Remember the way in which we played and won again t Langley Park? Our wa a great team performance again t a muchfancied Engli h team. the winning goal coming 189

from a sweeping team counter-attack. It was one of the few game Ihad to umpire, and r can remember hardly being able to contain my elf when we cored. I till get goo e bumps. Remember the battle out in Stellenbosch on the des 0 again t a highly capable Paul Roo team, with the winning goal (a cracker!) coming late in the second half? Bealing Bi hops four times in a row, and e pecia.lly the manner in which we came through in the semi-final late, under immense pressure - that i what Wynberg boy are made of. Our two victories again t Rondebo ch were a magnificent team effort on both occa ion . Player Profiles: Jonathan Child: What a fantastic season! eed I ay more! Childsy grew in tature and confidence every time he et foot on the turf. He made crucial save in crucial matches. at time proving to be our match winner. A real team man, I wi h him every ucce in the future. The tirst stand-out performance by Childsy wa' in our first victory against Rondebo ch - he wa. magic! William Souter: Souts' econd year in the U l6A team. Still pos es es great attribules for the game: his left hand aerial dribble, great slap hit and reverse tick trap. However. need to apply him elf more if he is to progre in hockey. He i one of the team jokers who are vital to have in any team. Despite losing my voice al times, I really enjoyed coaching Sours. Darren Murphy: Murph or the Brundle give nOIhing bUI 100% and ha been one of the team's consi tenl performer throughout the year. This is a tremendou. quality lO have. Over and above thi . Murph is an unrelenting and lalented defender who ha the abilily to step up and intercept very well. Hi aim hould be: composure when carrying the ball and distributing from the back pa . ; acquiring a con i tent overhead or aerail pa. s; becoming a top shon-corner topper. Michael Cunliffe (Captain): The Big Man' second year in the side, the only candidate for Caplain. He is never one lo shy away from re pon ibility and thi wa evidenl in the way he played on the field. An uncompromi ing defender, who u. ed hi. physical presence to 190

good effect. He possesses a powerful flat hil and a good overhead, which are two vital component of a modern defender. Once again, he proved to be a silent as as in in front of goal, and the 'double lide' king came up trumps for the team on many occa ions! Tt was great working with you and having you as my kipper. Luqmaan Mooradd: Gaining election to the Western Province U16A ide gave Cooky some much-deserved confidence. I felt that he did really well in the second half of the eason, using his natural athletic ability and speed to good effect down the right hand ideo He played at both right half and right link with little difficulty. He mu t perfect a penalty corner technique if he want to be an indi pen able member of any team, and work at his goal-scoring abilities. Stuart Cardis: Stuey Little gives hi all week in, week out! A gutsy little defender who ha an uncanny ability to break down oppo ition play and i a very percentage-orientated player who doe the simple things well. He made many a crucial tackle and interception. He needs to work at his ball pace and ability to pas the ball over distance, but I have no doubt thi will develop a he get phy ically stronger. Bradley Venter: The top goal-scorer for lhe team and one of two players to get selected to represent the Western Province U 16A team. Ha awe ome natural ability and athleticism. I would like to ee Vent continue where he left off at the end of the ea on. producing the good. week in, week out, and, in my opinion, almost single-handedly getting u through the emi-final again t Bi hop in te ting circumlance - an individual performance I will not forgel. Has the making of a good drag flicker if he work at it. Keegan Robinson: The little man in his econd season in the team has the ability to control the game from centre mid field. He is able to read the game and get the ball moving quickly, which can determine, to a large eXlent, the flow and tempo of the game. He get through a lot of work and can hold hi own with anyone in thi po ition on hi day. Keeg is a good shon corner stopper and mu I en ure he keep pracli ing thi kill. A memorable performance in our greal victory again t Langley Park. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

Kyle Grant: Kyle came of age this season. He has now set the minimum benchmark which he must attain on the training field and in matches in the futw路e. He howed patches of brilliance and has the ability to nIm a garne and win it for hi tearn. Two great performances against Rondebosch and two memorable winning goals again t Paul Roos and Langley Park! Kyle appears to have much time on the ball and a very effective inside tuck. I look forward to seeing him continue to mature both as a player and a person. Juan Celliers: Having been unavailable for the pre- ea on tour to Port Elizabeth, Juan showed good application to make his way into the team. He contributed well throughout the season and ha the ability to play anywhere across the front line. Juan must continue to work hard al his basic skill as well as trying to ma 路ter his under tanding of his defen ive duties and being focussed on them at all time. Chris Maggs: At centre forward, our other 'l)rundle' worked tirelessly throughout the season. He took on the re. pon ibility of his vital defensive role in our team admirably and thu became a very important cog in our wheel. He ha bundles of raw pace and energy together with the ability to break through tackles. He is predatory in the circle and around the ball - fan Haley-like - so I expect to ee many more goaJ in the future. He had two late winners, both from deflections, to secure the fir twin against Rondebosch and had the decisive touch in extra time in the semi-final against Bishop. Hang up those football boots and keep that stick in hand, Magg y! Andy Thorburn: Thorbs played predominantly at left wing, although there were times when he operated on the right flank. A keen as mustard, Thorbs wa always willing to li ten and give his all. He i a trong and robu t runner who mu t look to slow down when executing each kill to ensure the quality. Gets into ome great position. going forward. He mu t continue to stick like glue to that far post, and goals will start to flow - I promi e! Jason Steele: Steeley po se es the very exciting raw attributes of a top-quality strikerpace and a goal-scoring ability. His goal against SACS. al the end of the ea on can bear te timony to the equalitie . It wa a goal

Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

of the highe t order. However, much of the game, especially as you rise up the ranks as a forward, is played without the ball. Steeley mu t work hard at fully understanding and implemenring hi role a part of a defen ive unit, for real progress to be made. Graeme Colman: Graeme played up front for the team on the pre- eason tour lO Port Elizabeth, as well as for much of the early part of the season. It i imperative that he grasps the defensive concepts that are a vital part of a forward' make up in modem hockey. Graeme re ponded very well to playing in the B team, putting in 100% whenever he had a Wynberg shirt on! Also played: Sheldon Knaggs and Corbyn Alexander. It wa a plea ure going on tour with you lad. and to Sheldon. well done for captaining the B team like a champion! To Woody in the U 14 side, thank you for fllling in for me. and scoring 2 goal in the proce ! I look forward to coaching you oon. To all the boys, a big thanks - you make it happen on the pitch.

The skipper, Sean Kelly, did a superb job leading lhe team from the front and was alway triving for team excellence. Mention mu t be made of the free pirited Houten Kin man, who et the tandard at practice and made sure that the team avoided tho e comfort zone . The team con i ted of a very talented group of players, who al time were their own wor t enemy on the field. They peaked early in the ea on and truggled to maintain their high standard of play throughout, but when they kept it impie, they produced ome unbelievable hockey. They cored a large number of goal. Michael Wood was lOp corer with 34 goal . He produced ome clinical fini he which Thierry Henry would have been proud of. Rowan Daly wa a pillar of trength at right half. He had a very consistent sea. on, often 193

Paarl Boys and Rondebo ch did not allow our teams to pick up any momentum and as a result, a number of teams lo. t confidence.

The hockey ea on for the under 14 D's began a a challenge when we lo tour ftrst five games by 3 goals. With a lot of hard work. training and commitment, the boys realized their full potential and by the end of the season they came through by winning their last three games. [n the second la t game of the season their hard work paid off as they beat Fairbaim 5-0 after lo ing to them by 7 goals at the tart of the eason. After taking over the under 14 E' half way through the easOll, 1 found the boy were already confident in their skill ,but becau e they only played three games in the econd half of the season, it was hard for them to how off their talent. 1 hope that all the boys continue their hockey and hope to ee some of them move up the grade in the next couple of eason . M.B.

Team that de erve a pecial mention are: the U 14B's for the huge improvement shown over the year; the U 15B' and C' for producing ome good win against tough opponent and lhe Third for producing ome excellent re uit and a great team pirit.

Of the A team. only the U14's played with confidence and recorded ome excellent re uil â&#x20AC;˘ often losing by ery mall margins. The U 15A' continued to be dominated phy ically. while I believe that the U 16A' never played to their true potential. I definitely have hope for both of the e team. if they improve their work ethic and team pirit. Great thing were expected from the fir t tearn. but they never materialized other than on tour and in the SACS Festival, although they did show the school what they were capable of in the last game again t SACS. chool Magazine 2004

Di appointing aspect of the sea~on were lhe lack of gut and commitment hown by some team when the going got tough and the lack of fitnes and strength to tand up to bigger opponent . Too often.

Rugby easons are judged by end-of-year record and, according to the figures above, 2004 will not be considered to have been a good season. The record, however, doe not tell the full tory of victory and defeat, nor the pride with which the players approached each game. The season began well with an unbeaten tour to Johannesburg and a stunning home victory over Oro, tdy - the table was sel for a great season! Early indications were that the team would have to play with its very trong back supported by a mobile pack, who would grow in experience with every game. The game plan, however, did not account for Wynberg playing three of the top lOchoois in the country on consecutive weekend ! The team was brought down to earth by a very powerful Paarl Gym side and then had their work cut out for them by Grey and Boland Landbou. Although the results how los e , in the last two game all who watched were incredibly proud of the . guts the boy howed again t powerful opponents, The Boland game could ea ily have gone our way but for a pa not made. The tory of the season was allowing the oppo ition back in lo win games we should have won. The results were marred by two bad losses! The highljght of the season was certainly the two win over SACS in their 175th year. Wynberg was the underdog on both occasion. Who will forgel that finish in the rain with Chase slotting the winning penalty at the death? The Newland match again, t w.P.C was al 0 a great dj play of guts against a talented side. Wynberg produced fantastic players this season, notably Richard Lawson, Roberto Talotti and Oominjc Telo. Congratulation to Richard for hi selection to the Craven Week ide and the S.A. Academy ideo The parental up port was great, as ever, and thanks mu t go to Alf and Teri Talotti and their team of helpers. Through their efforts. all tours and jerseys were paid for and a healthy donation was made to the chool rugby club. Our boy really are lucky. A difficult season has ended well and everyone is positive about next year. Many plan are being put together. from fitne te ting and weight programme to Sport Science and top-class field and facilities. Wynberg has the passion and the men to get back to the top.

PROFILES:

Richard Lawson : A very talented player who has the skill and vision to go far in a rugby career. Unfortunately for Wynberg, Richard did not manage to play a many game for his . chool as we would have liked him to, mainly becau e he wa,> so successful in his achievement in the sport. (S.A. Academy XV ; W.P. Craven Week XV; Honours.) MarceIJo Samp on: A player with an enormous amount of peed and acceleration, did not quite get the amount of ball he hould have. Could go far in rugby if he i. willing to work and train hard all the time. (Colours.) Dominic Telo: A career in rugby or cricket could be an option for Dominic although I think he hru cho en to pursue the gentleman' game. Electrifying pace and the ability to u e hi feet in full flight has meant that he ha fini hed in the top 13 try-scorer in the country. (Honours.) Angelo Pacego: Angelo i a fine rugby player and ha everything it take lO become a great in ide centre. He need however, to train a hard a he can at all time and be dedicated to the eau e for thing to start happening for him. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

A very competJtlve per on with great body strength in the tackle and a burst of speed, which left many defenders in his wake. (Colours.) Courtney Chase: With uch a light build one would not expect many players to pull off a first team position with as much ea e as Courtney has. As a kicker he was exceptional and managed to keep us in games as well a win us ome clo e encounters. Not many boy involved will forget that la t minute penalty against SACS in the rain and mud at our home ground. (Colours.) Tonaleni Tshivule: Skill and flair are word which de cribe thi player, who on the day, can destroy any defence which is put in front of him. A hard worker, who di played a good rugby ethic at practices and on match day . (Colours.) Alcott Gola: A man of rugby, mall in tature but big in heart. No-one would di pute tllat Alcott ever tried anything le than hi be t. Over the sea on hjs big heart helped him improve by leaps and bound in his game and in turn helped with the improvement of the team. ' performance. (Colours.) Joel Kalipi: Joel started the eason off very lowly and did not jjve up to our expectations . Then came Paarl Boy, and Joel' cia came through . A player with huge potential, who worked hard over the sea on to become a regular first team player. (Colours.) Ryan Kriedemann: Ryan' chool rugby career wa cut hort owing to a houlder injury. He i player who works hard and play above hi talent whenever he run on to the field. Who will ever forget the try that Richard conjured up again t Glenwood in the final minute of the game to queeze out a de erving draw? (Colours.) Roberlo Talotti: A tough eason for the kipper. He led with gusto and determjnation the whole season. A pLayer who ha the potential to go far in rugby, he i hard working and hone t in all aspect of the game and was unfortunate not to make any of the w.P. rugby side. Well done Roberto! (Blues.) Ridhaa Kafaar: Another player who was not the bigge t in hi po jlion but howed the kind

of competitive pirit that i needed to be a fir t team player. Very quick around the park and did a lot of the team' dirty work. (Colours.) Nisa Camagu: Like hi teammate, Ridhaa, he i not the bigge t loo e forward around but get a lot dirty work done. i a will be a crucial part of the tirst team next year and I look forward to eeing ome of hi exciting attacking. (Colours.) Chris Heiberg: A big strong rugby player, who i. an exciting ball carrier. Chris !ruggled with plenty of injurie!. thi!. year. yeL. because of hi lo e for the game and hi team. he played in at lea t t誰ve matche when he hould not have. Can go far with rugby if he i willing to train a hard as he play. (Colours.) Matthew John on: The most improved player of the ea on. Matthew came from being the fir t team hooker la t year to being the fir t team lock thi year. A very athletic lock forward who ha_ the kill and vision to be very dangerous on attack. (Colours.) Chris cott: Chris i a very aggre ive player by nature, who love to tackle and hit ruck all day. A player who L worth hi weight in gold to any team, if he can direct hi. aggre ive rugby nature lO the game and nol to the other player. Garth Holme: The player' 'Player of the Year'. He never uttered a negati e word lhe whole eason and although he came up again t ome really tough oppo, ition in the front row, he always gave of hi. best. (Colours.) 200

Grant Kemp: Grant was an U 16A player, who wa a ked to come up half-way through the sea, on to bolster the front row. A player to watch out for in the future, he is big, !rong and ha great ball kills for a front row forward. Grant will be an important cog in the firsl team nexl year. (Colours.) Lyle Johnson: Another player who will be with u next year and could be part of a very big and powerful front row. Lyle has all the potential in the world to go far in rugby, bUI needs lO keep tit all year round and not leave il until pre- ea on to get fit. (Colour .) Lyle Cameron: Lyle i a very hard player and put hi heart into everything that he doe . Maybe a lillle mall for hooker, but a great learn man. (Colours.) Marco Mackai er: A player who will be back next year and could be a huge influence in the ucce of next year' tir t team, but he need lO el hi own high tandard and not try to play to impre s other. Travis Edwards: Travi worked hard to make the fir t team at fir t but oon became a fir t team regular. He i big and trong and would play in any po ilion just to play in the fir t team. What a team player! (Colours.) James Dickie-Clarke : James wa a very neat and polished. crum-half, who always gave of hi be t. A greal learn man and a good leader from behind the pack. D. S.

The eason for the second learn was one of ups and down . It began lowly and there was a close tight for learn positions. Some elections were to be proved wrong over the eason but the player aJways tried to improve their game. Some boys became tal warts of the ide and there were at least five who could lead the ide well on any given Saturday. The games which will aJway remind me of thi ide were their gutsy game again t a great Bi hop ide, that had put on ome big core again t ome good chool and were almo t toppled by the team' determined effort. and the hard garne again t SACS at home on a grand day for Wynberg, as the fir t, econd and third tearn won their matches.

A large squad made selection difficult at mo t time, but such was the spirit in the team that, though disappointed at not being selected, the boys were always willjog to act a ubstitute and were always ready on the side, hoping to be able to run onto the field, albeit for only five or ten minute. Thank you boys, for being so patient, willing and eager to erve your team and your school. We started the season rather disappointingly, yet not poorly. Our fir t two matches were again t our traditional Afrikaans School rival and although the cores may tell a different tory, we gave a pretty good account of ourselves, until we ran out of steam toward. the end of bath matches and had ome heavy points scored against us. What was very sati fying, however, was the way we turned around a heavy first-round defeat against arch-rivals Bi hops, by winning convincingly in the return match. We aloheld our own again t our other boys' chool rival, managing to beat Rondebo ch ooce, the second encounter ending in an exciting draw, and to beat SACS twice, the final match of the. ea on being possibly the be t performance of the entire year. We were also fortunate to be able to play our re erves in a erie of mid-week matche again t the Bi hops "overflow" and wi h to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Knowie for arranging the e encounters. They were great fun, despite lo ing a few. Several player showed great enthu ia m and courage and I would not Uke to single out any particular player, but it would be remjs of me Wynberg Boys' Wgh School Magazine 2004

not to mention our own "Captain Courageous", Chris van Tonder, who alway led by example. Probably the unluckiest player in our side was poor old Dale Lewis. He played for ten minutes in our fir t match before he had to leave the field with an injury that kept him out of the game for an extended period. He was champing at the bit to start playing again and was overjoyed (as was I) when he was able to join our practice again. We had already announced the team to play on the Saturday and Dale wa. practicing hard in anticipation of hi first game in week, when, lo and behold, he broke his arm while being tackled by one of the smallest

member of the team. Despite being extremely disappointed and having his arm in a ca t, Dale continued to support his team-mate. Thank Dale; you certainly di played what we have come to expect from a true Wynbergian. l would also like to thank Old Boy, Tyronne Lloyd, for assi ling me with the coaching duties in the third term. The boys soaked up his advice and enjoyed his session . My appreciation also, to Scottie (Scotti. h gap-year) for his time, effort and really valuable advice. We incerely appreciate it.

The 2004 rugby ea on will not be remembered for results, but rather from the perspective of how the players improved throughout lhe season. At my first meeting with the A and B squad, we set two goals for the season: Firstly, each player must be a betIer rugby player at the end of the season than he was at the start, and this he would only achieve if he worked hard and always gave of his besl at practices. The team ' defence improved enormously throughout the season. All the man-onman tackling drills we did, definitely paid off. All the players showed much more gut and confidence on defence and in their tackling. Who will forget Jason Pretoriu ' tackles in the econd matches again t RBHS and SACS, Tim Glen 'cover defence tackles against Strand and Karl Springorum's huge tackle against Paarl Gym? A lot of time was al 0 spent on mauling, and in thi department the team also showed a lot of improvement. The fine maul that led to . David Tyhala's try against Bi hop, showed the importance of always practicing the ba ics. Secondly, the team must be able to compete against any team in their age group and stand their man. There were several occa ions when lhe team competed well again t other teams. They were very unlucky to lose matches again t RBHS, SACS and Grey High, and at one stage in the match against Strand, they put together some fine forward play, the backs running off the ball and the pack actually going forward. In this match David TyhaIa and Marco Talotti howed a lot of controlled aggre ion, which purred the players on to be more confident in each other. The highlights of the sea on urely must be the two first halve again t Tygerberg and Bishops (second match) and the final core again t Bellville Tech. Here the team showed a lot of gut and determination and put some fine pa sages of play together. The U 15B team definitely benefited from training in a squad and I must commend them a well, for a mo t enjoyable ea on. lt wa Mr. Pretoriu ' la t sea on a a rugby coach and they certainly made him very proud with their enthusia m and commitment to rugby. Many players howed they have potential at variou . tage of the ea on which, if it can be Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

They came back from a di appointing game in their first match and tarted winning game one after another. One obviou factor that created a good pirit amongst the boy was their commitment and dedication. Each player played hard and to win. It was this momentum that put more pre sure on them to win the next game and the next. This de ervedly earned them the respect of the chool as one of the only teams to come back with a win against tough oppo ition. There eemed to be a never- ay-die attitude from the boy ,a their excellent performances produced brilliant trie under immen e pressure. TIle first half of the ea on ended on a high note as we went on a winning pree of five con ecutive game, lo ing only two game against Grey (P.E.) and Paarl Gymnasium. r don't know what happened over the holidays maybe r should have con ulted a sangoma becau e their performance agged in the econd half of the season, re ulting in a mixed bag of re ults.

Their work elhic wa generally very good and practice , therefore, became a pleasure, as you could really pu h the learn. What tood out mo t for me was the team's ability to defend and the fact that we never got dominated phy icaJJy, not even by the Afrikaan schools.

A good win against Dro tdy seemed a promising start lo the eason. However. when we went up again t Paarl Gym the following week. we lo 1 0 - 49. Unfortunately, we continued to go

down with ome big lo e against some of the Afrikaans chools. The B's found them elves outplayed in both kiU and size. After a 0 - 89 loss to Paarl Boy, which was our fifth of the eason, the boy decided lo turn things around and start playing rugby. They moved from trength lO strength, proving to coache . parents and spectators that they have what it takes, not only to win, but to win well. We finished the first half of the eason winning five of thirteen games. The econd half of the sea on looked more promi ing than the fir t and we saw the U 14B's start to play as a team and not as fifLeen individuals. They had some exceptional win against Bi hop and Rondebosch (they lost to both in the fir, t half of the season), which made it 9 win and 9 losses with one game to go. We went up again t SACS for the last game and unfortunately lo t 10 - 14. The UI4B' have the potential to do well in rugby and [ think next year' selection will be very difficult. r wish them all the be t in their playing careers and would like to thank them for such a great eason.

However, there wa a core group of faithful, committed boys who made the term worthwhile. Many of the boys had never played rugby before and watching the development of their skills and knowledge of rugby a the year progres ed, was most satisfying. There are a number of natural rugby players in this Leam who, with more experience and physical maturity, can definitely challenge for A team places in years to come. Although the team failed lO win a match, the narrow lo ses of the third teml, as opposed to the significant los e of the econd, indicate definite growth and improvement. From this perspective, the season can certainly be considered succe. sful. B. E.

Thi ha been the first full season of air-rifle hooting in the Western Cape. A lot has happened since March 2003, when the .22 Anshutz rines were withdrawn from all school and we were left to our own device. to decide if lhe sport of Target Shooting was to continue. The following schools are member South Peninsula League: Wynberg Boys'/Girls'

of the

High Schools.

We had about SO pupil shooting this year, of whom thirty boys and three girls were affiliated to UTR. These were the pupil who participated in competition , po tal hoot, w.P. triaJs and the S. A. Bi ley. Our first competition of the year wa again t Durbanville Target Rifle Club. Kale Giljam of Wynberg Girls' High School wa the best senior and Nicolelte Grunglingh of Voortrekker the best junior. With the po taJ league hoot of May, Jarryd Fi her and Jaques Que tiaux of Wynberg at la t made it to the top two positions followed by four girls. During the W.P. triaJ it wa again the girls who dominated in the senior and junior diviions. Three of the girls were taken up in the w.P. learn to hoot at the S.A. Bisley at Worcester during the September holiday.

South African College School. Diocesan College. Voortrekker HoĂŤr kool. Laerskool van Riebeeckstrand. Since May 2003, Wynberg Boys' High School and Voortrekker, represented by Mr Fedde van den Bosh, have operated a hooting club in the Voortrekker hall. The co t of buying 20 rifles, making pellet catchers, rifle cases, acquiring aqualung, target and pellets ha touched RIOO, 000.00.

During the fourth term we again tarted shooting at Wynberg, u ing the Alf Morris centre as our indoor hooting range. The regulars at the club have not relaxed and individual score have kept on improving. We look forward to a tough, but exiting 2005 sea on J.L.

This ha! been a Iruly memorable year for quash at Wynberg. It is fair to say that after three years of playing second fiddle to Rondebosch Boys' High School, Wynberg once again dominate the We tern Province. It i plea ing to report Ihal our most enior player in the Fir. t team was in Grade II thi year, and the fir t team compri ed no fewer than three V 15' . Thi et the tone for a pro perous few year ahead. Our goal for the ea on were impie: at fir t team level, to achieve repre entation at the annual national Top Schools' Tournament and 212

to en ure that every boy was given the opportunity to receive coaching at all levels, from the fir t team to the VI5E team. 1 can confidently tate that both these goal were met. If there were one weak ne in our armory, then it must lie in our level of fitne ... This is one a peet of the game, which will need much attention next year. Together with the excellent re ults produced from the fir t side right lhrough to lhe mo t junior team, il really is plea ing to see the level of participation. At club level. squash has seen a drop in number - not so the case at Wynberg. Succe i. not mea ured by re uit but rather by trength in numbers. This year we managed lO field five team in the U 19 League and five teams in the U 15 Leagues. It is interesting to note that there i. no olher chool in the We tern Province which matches this, and we are very proud of our contribution lo quash in the Province. We entered two equal trength team in the U 19 Super League, which wa played on Thur day evenings at the Bishops courts, and two equal trength team in Ihe V 15A league. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004

Good results do not merely happen. They are achieved through di ciplined practices, hard work and a po itive attitude. The season started well. with the first team taking part in the annual Action Squash Tournament at Bishops, where we ended up as winners by the narrowest of margin . During February, we travelled to Bloemfontein to take part in the Annual StAndrew's Festival. This provided the first team with their ftrst taste of squash at the highe t level. The highlight of the second term was undoubtedly our win against Rondebosch, to achieve the right to represent the province at the annual Top Schools' Tournament in Pietennaritzburg - a truly courageou. re. uit with an awesome display of gut" and determination. The major campaign in the third term was the tour to Pietermaritzburg, to take part in the national Top Schools' Tournament. This proved to be a tremendous learning curve for the boy and we did well to achieve a fourth place. There were nine teams competing. Other highlight were our overwhelming win against Grey High School during the Derby week-end and winning both the U 19 Super League and U ISA KnockOut final at the end of the eason (both against Rondebo ch). The annual quash House matche took place during the third term, with De Waal eventual winners. The House matches took the form of Action Squash, with players accumulating as many points as possible in a set time. Teams compri ed three member . This year saw the School Championships played at U 15 and U 19 level. The U15 final was played between Matthew Thom on and Jason Fourie, with Thomson winning 3 - I.

The lower sides did well but seemed to lose their edge towards the end of the season. FIRST TEAM PLAYER

Rudi Willemse: Rudi had a really good year. Ranked the top player in the province in all age groups at 15 i. a real achievement. He played 2nd Men's league and won the majority of hi games. The future i look.ing good for thi. young man. (Western Province U 16 no. I , South A frican U 15 no. I.

Although he stijl ha to show u his leader hip skills toward the team, hj place in the team is evident. He played 8th Men' league and won the majority of hi matches. (We tern Province U 19 no.3, Blues.) Karl von Buddenbrock: Karl had a slow start at the beginning of the year but seemed to improve as time went on. A junior in the ide, the experience he has gained thi ea on will help him mature into a classy player. Despite po sibly being selected to repre ent We tern Province at U 16 level, Karl opted to travel over ea with his family during this time. He played 8th Men's league. (Colours.) Luqmaan Mooradd: Luqmaan seemed to have a good ea on despite maybe playing at a higher level. He still has a lot to learn and his future in the port look good. Unfortunately Luqmaan didn't fini h the ea on for medical reason. (Western Province U 16 no.4, Colours.) Marco Talotti: Marco had a top y-turvy eason, tarting very well at number two but unfortunately, becau e of an ankle injury, he fell down the rankjng order. He ha a lot of potential to be a good player and I'm sure that, if he keeps his mind right, he will succeed. He played 8th Men's league. (Colours.)

As the senior within the team, hi preence wa felt by all and his input on and off the court wa greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, becau e of rugby. he withdrew from the sport in the third term. Good luck for the future. (Colours.)

It really was encouraging to ee the level of enthu ia m and enjoyment. particularly in the lower league, with practice often extending well into the early part of the evening. De pite competing again t A and B teams, the U 15 C. 0 and E teams produced excellent results, winning many of their matches. There was a notable improvement in many player, and I look forward to watching their progre in the years ahead.
