HEADMASTER'S'lREPOlRT

The first week of 200 I saw Mr Bill Price, an erudite and eloquent speaker, address a number of groups at the school. Arguably his most thought-provoking address \vas the one he gave to parents and teachers one evening, entitled "The Future Focused Learner". It I as a result of hIS vlsit that the four Wynberg schools are undergoing a survey of parents to ascertain the e>.-pectationsof our parenl bodies Is Wynberg oflenng value for money? Are we meellng lhe needs of young people as they tackle the challenge of the 21 t Century? Is our communit teachers, parents, puptls-taking ownership of the direction in which the school is moving? So far, earl indJcations of the intervie\ with parents show that the want their children lo be safe, happy, have fnends, have clear set boundaries and to have fun. The want adults to nOllce when their children arc sad, lonely, bored and friendless. Some wa down the track, the \ anI their sons and daughters to learn maths and histo!), but it is a long way do\\n the agenda In one of m newsletters this ear I QUOled AAslolle, who stated thaI, "Teachers who educate

Wyll~~

children deserve more honour than parents who merely gIve them birth. For the latIer provided mere life, while the fonner ensured a good life." Teachers of Wynberg play a significant role in realising the expectations of parents, and I salute our teachers for their skills, commitment and enthusiasm-thereby ensuring the maxim of Bill Price, "You teachers must be pioneers of the future, not prisoners of the past." No one year is ever like any other-and it is pleasing to note that the changes thal are happenmg at Wynberg are building on the foundations and strengths laid by those who have gone before. Sometimes in education we feel overwhelmed by the far-reaching nature and pace of change. However, il is not only in South Africa but in education all around the world where standards, morals and values--previously taken as a given-are being challenged. Perhaps that well-known bumper sticker says it all: "Change is inevitable-cxcept m vending machines!" Hopefully the readers of this ruullIal magazine will sense that the school is a highly compIe enuly striving lO give opportwlilies over a broad spectrum of activity. Even though we arc a big school of over 800 oung men, the discerning reader of these pages will be able to glean some of the jo s, laughter, fun, struggles and challenges which make up a school year. I am happy with the academic standards of W)1lbcrg Bo s' High School. These are obvious not only from the matric results, but from the perfonnances of our pupils in a myriad of interschool competitaons, OlympIads and quizzes One of our aims must be to prepare our OWlgmen for tertiary education. Consequently, it was iIluntinating to receive a prinlout from UCT during the year and to nole the progress of the 250 W mberg men currently reading for degrees al UCT. This indicates thal our long-term academic future is bright and that the majorit of our pupils espouse the values thal are needed in the 21st Century mnovallve thll1kmg, enthusiasm. hard work ruld corrunatmenl Quality teaching and quality learning are the rocks on which the daily activities of Wynberg are

built. However, we must never wlderestimate the impact of the hidden curriculum which is reflected in the other three pillars of Wynberg life. Many key skills emerge from our cultural, sporting and service activities. Committed teachers have ensured that the name of Wynberg has been taken to all comers of Cape Town and, in many instances, South Africa. We are proud of what so many of our young men have achieved. The development of well-rounded and balanced lIIdividuals is the major aim of our Four Pillars. TIle lesson of commitment, dedication to a goal, teamwork and healthy living are all essential mgredients in our hidden curriculum. Il matters little in what area a W ~lberg pupil is engaged, as long as he is interacting with his feUo\ SOUtIl Africans and learning the social skills which will stand him in good stead later on in life. The new prefect system has now run its course for a full year. Its real efTect has been felt in the various subconunittees where tIlase elected have been able to show lIlitiative, commitment and perseverance, What valuable lessons they have been privileged to experience! A number of camps

for Grades 9-11 have been held during the year where the concentration has been on personal development and interpersonal skills. I have been deeply ~pressed b the qualities shown by so many of our young men, They are the future of South Africa and when they leave our Memorial Gates for the last t~e, I have absolutely no doubt that many of them will make a significant ~pact on South Afncan life. Dr Helen Robinson, author of the recently published book on the suburb of W)'1Iberg, entitled her work "Wynberg-A Wonderful Place", This, of course, applies to the school as \\ell. What a wonderful place it is! I thank all those who contributed to the success of 2001-Goveming Body, Teachers, Support StafT. Parents, Old Boys, Friends and Pupils. Thank you to all for adding value to this Wonderful Place! K CRichardson Headmaster

Nicola JonJan and James Buchanan, both of whom started teachuIg at Wynberg in 1990. Miss Jordan sa s that her first impression of Wynberg \ as the extreme smartness and pohleness of the boys. ThIs mitia] impression soon tumed to shock when she turned rowld in her tirst class and saw one of the boys pulLlIlg up his pants aller 'moonulg' her. When she reported the incident to male members of stalT, Mr Rushby include<L and they laughed at her, shc realIsed that shc'd let herself in for a tough job! Hut she stuck it out and coped extremely well for all ol" Il years and during that time her contribution to the life of the school has been enonnous.

She has Wynberg art matric results F,rst Aid at

been an e cellent Art teacher and pupils have produced extremd good thanks to h!..,.teaching skills. . he ran sports events for four years and was

chairperson of the StalT Association. Her involvement in the cultural aspect of the school began with the painting of backdrops for school productions, a time-consuming activity that has made a.huge diITerence to the stage. She introduced new cultural events like the junior one-act plays for Grades 8 and 9 and interclass public speaking and singing, the aim being to get as many boys as possible involved. She ran the Cultural Committee for five years and last year took up a Head of Department post, making Cullure a strong and active pillar of the school. In her pastoral rolt:, Miss Jordan has been a class teacher for three years and has elDoyed hikes, braais and breakfasts with the boys ijl her classes. Some of the memories she will alwa s have of Wynberg are: • The successful Arts and Music Evening, held for the first time this year. • Worklllg with tht: prefecls ,Uld helplllg to introduce the new prefect s slem. • The moming on the beach at the Prefects' Camp. Next year she will take up a position as art teacher at Cedar House where she will focus on paintulg and photograph. She is excited about the prospect of teachUlg smaller groups and working in the beautiful. historical builduIg ol" her new school. Her final message: I '/I miss the camaraderie of Wyllbe~. alld the mamIers of tire real f!.entlemen amollf!.st the boys. lVynbe~ will always be a pari of me alld you '11 still filld !lie watchinf!. plays alld supporling nlf!.by as ever.

Ile emne a'i llead of Department and had the task of IInprovlllg the profile of Service, a task \ hich he has achieved with great diligence and cnthu iasm. He has taughl Maths and Science. cncouraging bo s to rcach their full polcnlial particularly in external ex'POs and competItIons. In sport, he has been in charge of telUus mld coached hockey When asked what he would remember with aITection aboUI Wynberg, he listed tile following: - river rafting ....ith tile stalT. - stalT productions and pupil productions. - letters of thmlks from parents, pupils and stalT for speCIfic Jobs done. - overwhelming response to appeals for Mozambique flood VIctims mld street clllldren project. - White Rhino TraIl with a group of pupils - tremendous leadership by gold prefects, Grant J3JTIesand Matthew Hogart .

When he first arrived, he oITered to become involved in athletics, but al his first meeting he naivel asked the question, "00 we just watch boys run arowld the field?" Mr Pretorius looked al him am] said, "I think we should find you another sport." ThaI sport happened to be water polo which he has coached for mml years. He \ as head of General Science, then when Biolog and. cience splil, he hecarne hcad of Junior BIOlogy and then was head of Senior Hiolog for Iwo years.

This is an aspeCI he fOWld very disheartening. Fond memories ofWyllberg include: • The [lfst class of which he was class leacher. with Charl Badenhorst as class captain. • The books given to him by this class at the end of their matrit year, in which everyone lell a message expressing apprecialion for him. • nle illteraction in the Biology Department where colleagues are regarded as people and not just as tcachers. • The end-of-tenn Sorry Awards in the slafT room and the idle banter on the benches under the pin oaks dw-ing break. Next year he will also be teaching at Cedar House. He looks forward to the post as he will be exposed to new challenges and will have to leave thc comfort zone of Wynberg. His final message:

Next year, Mr Robertson will Lake up a position al Bishops with particular emphasis on using computers in the classroom.

MATBIC CLASS 2001 today is threefold. FirstJy, to express my thanks to the members of stalT for their years of dedicated work. Secondly, to provide a word of guidance to the Grade li's m1d thirdl , to point out the more humorous side of life at W 11berg. 111e latter is not particularly hard to do bul it does require tl1at I exercise some restrainL Certain things just aren't mem1t for paren ts' ears. The heartbeat of WBHS is wldoubtedly our dedicated and occasionall eccentrie starr Eccentric, you ask? How? Well, one need only spend five minutes with Mr Coombe to find out ho\\·. I don't Imow about you, but when he checks me out \\~th lus eyeball, 11 ieally freaks me outl Perhaps If he spent less time at tJ1e track it might return to nom1al. I prOlnlsed Mr Lefson tJmt I would rip him to s~eds, so here wc go. Go For (;oldl Will Eric gel it nght ne:-..1.week ... ? Sometl1ing occurred to me the other day. I saw Mr Lefson and Mr Inglis standmg ne ·t to each other at the cnd of a corridor and I finally realised why there are so few pies in the tuckshop these days. 111e. are good pies, though Now Mr Inglis is omething else entirely. Never before have so mru1 projects been stolen out of one man's car. Never before have so mm1y test papers fallen out of a faulty car boot while gomg over a speed bump. We have iliem all. We have Mr "1 aJ11 the man" lIartle , Mrs "What about the rainforest, what about the dolphins, the tannie of all lrumies" Diedericks. Now I run prett sure tJ1éltalmost evervone here is fan1iliar with the expression, 'The I~cust, it's a plague!" Il is a misconception that Jarred Carstcn en is the originator of the infmnous line. It just 0 happens that T kept a diary in my • tru1dard jl ycar and in it I have recorded lIlany a story and adventure. As a result it gives me pleasure to ant10W1ce that on the 23rd of March 1999 it was, in fact, Michael PostJ1Umus who coined the phrase.

matrics that evening as equals. Sharing the same dance floor, dancing with each other's dates, wives, all enjoying themselve~pecially Mr Sopam. And the after party, well, that was fun too, wasn't it, Christo? Now they say that variety is the spice of life. Something which we do not lack. For we have boys from many different cultural and racial backgroWlds which really serves to make things interesting. Firstly, we have the jocks: the guys who favour the ability to throw a ball over intelligence. Guys like Aidan Williams. There are the coloureds: better watch out, mess with these ouens and they will mang you. These are guys like Ou Fag or Kippie. There are the boO's, the intellectuals, but they're not particularly funny. There are the good, respectable chaps such as Rich Good and GTWldlingh (what's up, ma' cousin?) who, like most of you spend their weekends with their head in a book. Then there is that mangled clique of guys who hang out behind the metalwork room and who exist for the sole purpose of causing havoc. They're like the break time entertainment and it comes as no surprise that most of the water bombs originate from that sector. An honourable mention must go to Gareth Wheat. As the sun sets on this stage of our lives it is increasingly difficult for me to accept the fact that we might never see many of our friends again.. We have been witness to many great things at Wynberg. We have seen the rise and faIl of Wheat, and tbe rise of maI ET. We bore witness to Mr Rushby checking out that very attractive lady. We were even there when Mr Richardson jumped ofT a five metre c1ifT at the Grade Il camp. Yes, yes, I will have many fond memories of Wynberg. Climbing through the roof duri.ng maths class. Igniting an open gas tap in science. Corny's parties (have to mention those), or watching Michael Palmer beat some punk senseless during a rugby match. As such. we must cherish the moments that we have had together. Fellow matrics, look aroWld you. Do you see the pride in each other's eyes? We started ofT as friends and have grown to become family and each day towards the end of exams, that bond grows stronger. I wish you all well in your future lives. Go forth and conquer the world. Always prevail. As Wynberg men you should be well equipped to do so. A word for the Grade lI's The decisions you make now will afTect the rest of your life. Never be afraid to seek guidance from your elders, they are older and 'Wiser. Make the most of all your opportunities and do everything to the best of your

ability. Lead your school with humility and wisdom. Carry on the legacy of 200 I! And now, my fellow matrics, as always: May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be at your back. May the SWl shine warm upon your face, the rains soft upon your fields and, Wltil we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand Good luck and Godspeed, my mends. You are always in my prayers.

VALEDICTORY 200t Mr K RlcbardaoD HMdmuter Extracts from the Headmaster's address to matrics alld their parellts on their last day at school. When Lyndon B Johnson, president of the United States of America in the 1960's, was asked what he thought kept him in the job of Presidency, he said: "Well, every night when I go to bed, I ask myself of the American population, each and everyone of them, what I have done today to make life better for them?" For those of you who lived through the era of LBl, you are probably struggling to imagine him saying thal Nevertheless, it is a good question and one which our matrics should be asking about their contribution to Wynberg this year. That is what today is all about-lauding and commending what 153 of you have done to make Wynberg Boys' High School a belter place. ¥our fmal year really began with your Grade 11 Camp. There you decided to embrace a new era where our new student leadership system, which emphasises SERVING, came inlo being. We now live in an era-al Wynberg, in South Africa, and in the world-where it is no longer acceptable to demand respect, but we now have to eam respecl In spile of the tragic message sent out by the events in New York, it is now more important than ever lo stick to the path where we insist on respect for others, tolerance for contrary viewpoints, appreciation for what is done for us. lllat is the foundation ofa civilized world. A special thank you to the matrics. ¥ou were genuine in your desires, set out at the Grade Il Camp, to be role models for the school. "Thank you for upholding the standards and the good traditions of Wynberg. I know that you would like me lo challenge the rest of the school to keep up and enhance these standards. Well done to the rest of the school for your role during the year and for your support in all the matric activities.

done to the prefects. Most of you have taken your portfolios to undreamed of heights. You have showll how much talent there is at Wynberg and what our young men can do when given opportunities. Finally, lo Justin van Winkel, who has led this school with passion and enthusiasm. One would have to go a long way to find a Wynberg man so loyal. Congratulations, Justin-you have been an outstanding role model; a young man of real integrity. You can look back on your [mal year at Wynberg with great pride. Mr Buchanan has led the matrics as grade head with dignity and respect. He has given them the right to choose while inculcating the necessity of self-discipline. The rnatrics have been fortunate to have had an educator of his talent and integrity as their mentor. Now it is almost over. Except for your English exams, this will be the last time you will be together as a matric group. Do not forget each other. Do not lose touch. Help each other. Contact each other. Remember to laugh about the good and the bad

times at school. Let this beautiful and wonderful South African school grow in your memory, and when you think about us in the years ahead, come back and visit us. I can't resist one last piece of advice: "Be all that you can be." Leo Biscalia said: "When you die, you will stand before God. He will not ask you if you cured cancer or changed the world. He will only ask 'What did you do, to become fully yo,,? I gave you so many opportunities-why did you settle for so little?" In your own ways, I know that all of you will take the lessons of Wynberg into life. May the tone of this school-moral, spiritual, intellectual-stand you in good stead, always. On behalf of your teachers, on behalf of the wider community of the Wynberg family, on behalf of the thousands of Old Boys who have gone before you, I thank you for your contribution and look forward to welcoming you back in future years as Wynberg Old Boys.

REPORT

W)11berg stands tall and proud above the rest! r have been ex1rcmely fortunate lo be able to serve Wynberg as one of Its many dedicated leaders under a ne\ prefect system. Many sceplics of the new syslem have been put to rest owing to the incredible effort made by the prefects of 200 I, and for all their dedication and hard work resulting in huge success, I thank them. Reflectmg over the past year, I have many hlghllghts but the event I will never forget is sports da It 'was one of the proudest da s of my life. People competed and strove for victories, never forgettmg to be good sportsmen, but what made the day so special was when the entire school remained behind after the prize giving, linked up and sang \\;th love and pnde for the school The da broughl newcomers Into the Wynberg famtly as I was laler told by one of the school's new teachers Wyn~rt

Many people have asked me if I enjoyed my year. My answer ranges from "it was awesome" to "it was great"! The past year is very special to me due lo the fact that the Wynberg men were so supportive and unique and r thank them along with a fantastic matric body that always gave Wynberg their fuU support and often added many humorous moments to school life! Wynberg is a wonderful school and it keeps on improving on itself. Wynberg definitely ripens as it gets older and is flourishing under a man who is openly supportive to changing with the times. Mr Richardson and Ius staff are exemplary and I encourage all the Wynberg men to learn as much as possible from these 'wise owls' before thelT school careers are over. I thank Our outstanding Headmaster and his staff for many years of service and guidance. To Chris, the prefects of 2002, the matric body and the school, I wish you all the best for your forthcoming year. Wynberg is more than a school; il is a brotherhood and a family and for those who are fortunate enough to be a part of the Wynberg experience, treasure it, it will never happen again! I leave you Wynberg men with some advice. "Don't be ordinary" (quoted from Mr Basil Bey). Supera Moras.

SERVICE The challenge this year has been to involve more classes in joint service projects, whether they be school or community based. The Service Committee, under chairmanship of Gold Prefect Grant James, started the year by wanting 40% of all classes to be fully involved in Service. They have certainly achieved tltis goal and, to their credit, gone funher. Each class has a Service Rep-the person responsible for ensuring that his class is involved in Service and who keeps an accurate record of that involvement. There has been involvement of classes in the following activities outside of school time: • Food Fair • Community Carnival • Beach, mountain, roadside alld park cleanups • Old Mutual Fun RUIl • Hosting a tea party Nuweland • Organising

This is a project that will be receiving our continued support in the new year. Mention was ~ade of the Service Reps. They were able to do thel! work effectively because of the leadership of the Service Committee. My thanks to them for a job superbly done.

We were proud to have two past chairmen, Jonathan Gerber and Daniel Ramage, working with us and we all learnt something about 'the rea] thing' as far as Immediate pre-hospltal emergency medical care goes. Jonathan is at present working at Western Cape Paramedic Services but is leaving lo go to Natal to do his National Diploma paramedic course at the Natal Technikon for three years. We also wish Gareth Everest aU the best as h~ leaves Wynberg to study Medicine or Phannacolog at !JCT. Furthermore, this year we had boys working not 0111. on the rugby fields, but also volunteering at vanous compani~, Vi~toria Hospita] and Western Cape Pararnedlc ServiCes. We thank these institutions for allowlI1g us the opportunity to learn and experience ne\ things.

we managed to sell R7000 worth of products. Our annual Big Wa]k was an extremely successful event. We managed to raise a total of about, Ril 000 that was donated to both Child Welfare and Huis Nuweland, an old age home that many pupils have visited during t1le year. Pupils also helped at the watering point at the Cape TO\"1l Marathon and many Wynberg pupils participated in t1le Old Mutual Fun RW1. Many charities approached us to collect money at street collection points. We helped these charities with accomplishing this. The annual Spare Change Campaign for the Friends Da care Centre was once again an outstanding success and we managed lo come second in the competition yel again. Man years back the mIeract chain of office was lost. f)uring the aJUlual Wynberg Boys' l-ligh chool sports Day, the mteract Club sold icecreams to raise fi.mds for a ne\ cham, which was subsequently bought.

IMPORTANT EVENTS SENIOR ONE ACT PLAYS

MATRIC DANCE 200t The Matric Dance was held in April this year and not in September as in previous years. The committee therefore did not have much time to prepare and organise this event. The conunittee consisted of twelve Grade II boys and their parents. TIle two teachers in charge were Mr Viljoen and Mrs van Nilm~egen. Aller mu h dehate the conunittee decided on a theme, The Oscars. This most memorable and successful evening appropriately became known as "The Night of the tars". AI first we seemed to nounder, not actually knowi.ng "hac to begin. but fortunately Mrs van Nimwc-gen had been involved with the previous matril: dance and her experience helped to keep us focu cd when wc lost the plot. All the big, specialised props were hiIed from a décor company and their team actually came to the school to assemble the mirror ball and lower the ceiling of the hall. Under the caring and helpful supervision of Mr Viljoen the commlltee boys met on SlUldayS to paint personalised tiles and wall filmstrips. To add authenticit' to the theme Mr Buchanan provided blown up photographs of each matric to be included in the filmstrips. These two items proved to be a great hil. The colour scheme was black, wlute, silver and gold. The round tables had black tablecloths with gold and silver accl!ssories, topped \'IIth tall candelabra and an impressive noral arrangement. . implicity and elegance \\cre th~ ke w~rds when de cribing the décor Memorablha consIsted of a beer glass, sandblasted with the W 'lIberg badge and date. for the boys and an elegant silk rose for the gIrls.

THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE WriUeD bJ J olm DlghtoD Directed bJ JoluI Baxter The major production was one of the highlights of the year. Not only did it play to full houses but the play itself was entertaining and I can personally sa that the cast thoroughly enjoyed themselves in it. We were luck)' enough to have the dedicated and experience direction of Mr Baxter. He, along with the backstage and lighting crew who spent many a late night putting the final touches together, made the play a reality. The rehearsals began earl in 200 I mId as time tickled b things begml to take s.hape. but not without a fair share of hysterics by Mr Baxter, with cell phones ringing, a~tors/actresses miSSllIg cues mld on mmly ml occasIOn .the prompt saying more Imes than actors/actresses did. Who can blmne him? One quality the cast had was its amnit towards time wasting Our proudcst moment must have been going down to the Wynberg Girls' School to do a five-minute promotional scene from the pia and managmg to miss two mld a halfhoUTS of school. All in all, "The Happiest Days of YOUTLife" was a fun production and one I will never forgel. Dmriel Giles, I lA

Derrick spoke of his time at Wynberg reminiscing of his times wIder Arnold Lorie, Keith Richardson ruld others. He noted the importrult changes that had taken place at the school ruld in the country. Big Brother Nick who spent 15 years in the UK, spoke of the changes at the High School (his schooling was held in the old buildings), the impressive campus feel of the school and the high struldards of wood- and metalwork made by the pupils in the foyer. lie spoke of the involvement that pupils should make realising that they are in fact the leaders of today. Both Nic and Derrick were applauded by the packed hall as their proud father Issy looked on.

"Doidge, get Doidge!" was the cry that echoed across the playing field at Mizpah Youth Camp on the night of II th October 200 I. Doidge, wnggling like a pig to the slaughter, had no choice but to follow the commmlds of his oppressors He was obliged to enter the pool, clothes mld all, and at the end appeared more than willing lo do so. It was events like tlus that made the Grade II Crunp of 200 I such a memorable and worth ....ilile experience for all of us. Spendmg three days with your mates in isolation from the rest of UIe ....arid was sure to create memories, and indeed it d1d. The camp ran from 10th to 12th October mld Its sole purpose was to prepare us for a successful matric year. After leaving an hOUTlale from school owing to Mr lnglis' traditional late arrival, w~ eventually arrived at about 4.30pm at M.Jzpah Youth Camp, near Grabouw, above Sir Lowry's Pass. The ca.tnp was intended to create team spiril and wury within the future matric bod . Many activilies \~ere undertaken \ hich were designed lo do so

WHITE RHINO TRAIL

On the road to the Grade 11 Camp On the fITst night, an orienteering exercise took place, where tbe boys were divided into random groups. Instructions were given on how to find metal poles of about a metre in height in the veld, a tough enough task in broad daylight, let alone on a cold dark night. As can be assumed, the groups were not too successful in their endeavours to fmd the metal poles, but I feel much was accomplished in the way of extending friendships be ond one's regular circle of friends. Abseiling took place on the two days and was a very nerve-wracking, hwnbling e, perience for many. It ~ as interesting seeing the fear and uncertainty in the faces of many boys a~they peered over the safety of the rail on the dam wall, approximately 40 metres in height. A number opted out at the last minute, saying that the would not put their life "in the hands of some stupid thin ropes". The camp, despite being physically taxing and tiring. was enjoyed by all. Besides, the sight of a wet Charlton Kirk on the last morning, atler being woken b none other than Mr van Schalkwyk, was a sight to wake any of us up for the final day. I believe that the camp has set the stage for a successful year for Wynberg .in 2~2, \~~ the matrics leading the way. The friendships WIthin ~ur grade are strong and versatile, and even though uwt is something that still needs to be refined. I have absolute confidence m m peers. ''Together we strive, forever we achieve" is the motto of the 2002 matrics. I trust that the rest of the school will join us in making 2002 a year of immense success and enjoyment

The Wilderness Leadership School, which has been in operation for more than 35 years, organises a number of trails through various Wilderness areas of South Africa. One of these is a five-day walking trail through the Umfolozi Game Reserve in Kwazulu Natal. There can be very few times in life when you choose to go into a dangerous situation and where you are completely dependent on the person leading the group for all aspects of your life-food, safety, where to sleep, what water is safe to clrin.k. where to walk, what to do if face to face with an animal Ulat does not enjoy your presence ete. It was into ~is scenario that pupils Tai Cronje, James FranCIS, Daniel Giles, Kyle Nortje, Craig Rutherfoord, James Strickland, Michael van der Westerhuizen and tea.cher Graham Robertson ventured these past June! July school holidays. We Oew to Durban., were met at the airport by our Trail Officer, Keith Roberts, and taken to the Leadership School's headquarters, which is in the Stainbank Nature Reserve in Yellowwood Park. a suburb of Durban. The next mornillg we were issued \ ith our kit (each person receiving a rucksack, clean sleeping bag, growldsheet, sleeping mal water bottle, bowl, spoon and mug) and had to pack our clothing and other personal effects.

We park<.XIour vehicle at a (Jame Ranger's Hase Camp in the south of the reserve and were mtroduced to our Field Guide, Thokozani Gwnede, who was doing his first trail with the school. His function was to act as another sel of cars and eyes for the Trail Officer. Keitil briefed us about safely and the "whal-lo-do-if' scenarios. It was with fears of mecling up with the animals of wi1ich he . poke, that we started the trail. We had to cross the White tlmfolOZI River and had alread been warned or the cholera epidemic (all \\'<Iter from lhe river had to be chlorinated). Somehow though, the threat of a severe attack of gastra was nothing to the thought of the crocodiles lurking in the river. This was the fITst of many occasions where we had lo trust Kelth's Judgmenl and walk if he said it was safe lo do so. Wc soon realised that the rille he carried, although vital III an emergency, was not something he \\ould choo e to use~ his aim was to lead us safel through Ule five clays wiUlOut mcident. A Wilderness area is defmed as one in which tilere are no structures (roads, dwellings eh:) erect<XI by man and \\here nature rules It is for that reason that oVCfnight sites chosen by Ule Field Ol1icers (and these can be an)'\\ here in the area) are left in the condition in which they were found. All vestige of the fITepiace of Ule night before are completely removed by distributing the special I constructed mound of sand and ash ill a~ wide an area as possible If onc chooses to use toilet paper it, too, along \\lth other combustible rubbish, must be burnt.

'nle alternative of grass, non-spiky leaves or mooth stones proved la be more desirable! It was wonderful to see ho\\ the group pulled together-collecting water, purtmg up bivouacs (once in the middle of Ule night because of rain), as isting with meal preparations and, most Importantly, each one doing his shift of guard duty each night-cnsuring that the fITe was \\ell-supplied with Tambuti wood and that no animal was threatening our safety. It \\as important to do tile shift alone as it provlded each of us tile opportunity to Ulink and meant that we were also more alert as aIJ we could hear were the sounds from the darkness around and those of the nOIsier sleepers.

A Year in Cheltenham. England Garetb Mellon At the end of December 2000, I lell Cape Town with high hopes and expectations of my Gap Year at Cheltenham College, having heard numerous good reports from previous visitors. M arrival m England was memorable for a number of reasons, the most obvious being the temperature of --6°C, and it was not long before J fOlU1dmyself longing for the African sun. Fortunately, my welcome in Cheltenham was wann and fiiendly, and looking back on m year here I would have to say that it has been the people, more than anything else, that has made my time so memorable. As a full member of the starr common room, it took a little while for me to adjust to the role of teacher as opposed to student, but the fact that the College and Junior School have six Gap tudents in total (two each from South Africa, Australja and New Zealand), gave me the opportunity to associate with others in the same position as myself. Suffice to say that wc have become very good fnends. Arguably the most memorable experience, though, \\IllS a cycle trip from Cheltenham across the English Channel, and then through France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovilia and Romania, respectivel , to raise funds for orphans in Romania, the poorest country in Europe. In all, 35 students and 5 members of staff each rode approximately 1000 lans, raising over £40 000 in total, which is now bemg spent to improve the Lives of hundreds of children. The trip was a tremendous success and the camaradene of the group and feeling of having accomplished a task so meaningful is something I will forever cherish.

Trips to see Amanda Coetzer at Wimbledon. Premiership Rugby and several football matches, as well as excursions to see Othello at the Royal Opera House, Hamlet at the Royal Theatre in Bath, and The Gradl/ate in London, show the diversity of my role here. My Gap year has also given me the opportunity to coach various sporting activities such as hockey, swimming, cricket and tennis and, although to start with I knew Little about handball, badrnmton. gymnastics and underwater hockey, I have gained a great deal from my attempts to coach them to children whose ages range (ram 4 to 16 years. My Gap year in Cheltenham has certainly been a magnificent experience and J am indebted to both Wynberg and Cheltenham for providing me with this opportunity. I have travelled all over Europe, established many new friendships and experienced a culture that is difTerent in so many ways to my o"-n. And, despite the weather, I look forward to returning to visit in the future.

Down Under in Kangaroo Country Baun BUlett First ofT, 200 I was hands down the best year of my life thus far and I have come away from Australia with a photo album crammed full of great memones I returned from Tasmania in mid December last vear and since I've been back, everyone has been asking me pretty much the same question, ''What did you do over there on your e 'change?" Probably an easier question for me to answer would be, "What didn't you do?" The Hutchins is a private, Anglican school situated in the suburb of Sandy Ba in Hobart To'Wn. The school houses approximately one thousand students, ranging from kindergarten to matric and all grades are taught on the same campus. Popular sports included cricket and Aussie rules football. I learned that Australians are fiercely competitive al every level in every sport and it is no wonder that the hold nwnerous coveted world sporting trophies I was reminded of Hansie Cronje's antics on a daily basis and now understand why they breed such biased commentators' Getting \I.'eLland truly stuck in was a prerequisite and I was up to my elbows in no time For the ftrst: two terms I was almost solely responsible to the ~tdoor Education Faculty. This involved taking kids aged between 9 and 16 on indiVIdual class camps to destinattons all over the island. There I assisted and coordinated man group activJtjes which included, amongst others, kayakiug, abseiling, bush-walking, mountain climbing and orienteenng

Apart from getting to know the kids well, it was also a great way to see a lot of the island at no extra cost. As winter set in and camps were spread further apart. I began to play an increased role in the Junior and Middle Schools. My day to day schedule included helping children with learning disabilities in the Center for Excellence, helping out lil the PE department, assisting with kindergarten classes and completing various school admin duties. For me the year was also obviously about ne\ experiences. For one, I was now independent, a fIrst for me and a title which, like most, came with Its own list of pro's and con's. For example, having my clothes washed and ironed, food fresh I. prepared and basic essential everyday items on hand was somethmg I had always taken for granted I struggled m the begilUling with the washing machine and stijl haven't quite got the knack of ironing a shirt, but I managed to get by without much fuss. Making my own meals in the holidays provided a few laughs in the begiJUUIlg as ,-"dl. The mjcrowave got the better of me on numerous occasions and McDonalds and KFC were the major benefactors of my mexpenencc. That being said. I did manage to have heaps of fun attempting everything and I can handle myself in the kitchen now. Another interesting thing for me was the transition from student to teacher. Having been LIl matnc Just a few months before and then being addressed as Mr Billetl threw me a bit at first and I never really got entire! u ed to it. While there, I realised that teachIng isn't JUst about long vacations and free colTee, but rather is a very stressful career chOice. The Aussie hngo also took a bit of practicerobots became tramc lights, cell phones-mobiles, and jerscys-jwnpers Probabi) the most notlceable change. though. was that 'ja' became ·yeah·. That \~as the first word to go and it wasn't long before the others followed swt. I {olldays \\ere spenl lounng the mainland Charlle L}Tlllgh (the Enghsh (jappy) and mysclf spent Il \\eckend 111 Coolangatta on the Gold oast in the begmrung of tllC }car, \\;hich was great. There \ioC \\ere treated to tropical warm water and some awesome beaches We managed to run out of mone on the second da of our trlp but probably the most memorable moment occurred mid \\cckend \\hen we walked mto our hotel room lo fmd an elderly lad seated on one of the beds. "Come give your grandma a hug," \\as enough to get us III stitches and aller about fIve minutes '-"c rnanllged lo e:-.:plain to her that she \\as 111 the v.rong room' In the September holidays I again headed olT to the lTUlinland 1lus ume Il fncnd and { had our IghLS set on Melbourne and S)Wle) In Melbourne \\e

managed to get tickets to the fmals series of an Aussie rules game at the MCG, which was amazing. In Sydney we visited all the touristy destinations-the. Opera House, Bondi Beach, Manleyand the Harbour Bridge, to llame but a few. It really is an amazing feeling standing 20 metres awa from a structure you've only seen on postcards and in the movies. Travelling provided me with COWltless memories and is a defInite must for any Gap student. Tasmania is home to some of the friendliest and casiest-going people in the world. The stalT at Hutchins went out of their way to ensure that my every need was catered for. When r arrived I received the warmest of receptions and that set the tone for the year allead. The boarding house masters were III ways good value and I was hard pressed to say my goodbyes to what had basically been my famjly for the year. r will never forget any of them and hope that I can reciprocate in some wa_ in th.: future. It's impossible to put into words everything the year away has given me, but I hope to have given ou some idea of the time [ spent "Down Under". The experience was invaluable and I have learned a great deal about myself 111 the process. 1 am indebted to everyone who made the exchange possible and wish future visitors to the Apple Isle the very best of luck-life is what ou make of it!

CWESI Jil))ULT LEARNING CENTRE BEll'ING THE ODDS Studying can be a lough assigrunent at the best of times but for the adultleamers of Cwesi Community Learning Centre, the obstacles sometimes come in twos and threes. Long daytime working hours, lack of transport, no quiet place lo study, Imding and funding adequate child care support: this is just a sample of the day-to-day challenges that adult learners face. 0 when Cwesi CLC held its annual awards ceremony in the Bill Bowden Pavilion at the end of last year, there was special joy and pride for the leamers who received their reports and special certi fical'es. There is also a quiet detennination among the adults lo do even bener in 2002. Cwesi CLC uses the facilities of Wynberg Boys' High School and operates a taxi service from and to the south (areas like Retreat and Vrygrond) to help leamers get to the school. Classes are offered in basic literac and numeracy lil three languages (Xhosa, Afrikaans and English), Grade 10 and matric. A basic computer course is also given. Classes are held Monday to Thursday from l8h30 to 20h30. Among the WiJUlers of attendance certificates at the cheerful awards ceremon were matric student Anne Danieis, and Maria Booysen who is steadily improving her written Afrikaans. Over four terms, these dedicated students achieved overall anendance records of well over 90% Considermg the miserably wet winter experienced last year, their

record speaks volumes. Guest speaker Sharon Muller paid tribute to the commitment of Cwesi's learners, sa}'ing that it was inspiring to see people so dedicated to improving themselves. Sharon and her husband Peter are longtime supporters of Cwesi and helped establish a link belween the school and the SA Club of Berlin in Gennan . Warner Lambert have also supported the school which always faces an uphill ImaJlcial banle and attempts to keep fees to a minimum. Central to the success of Cwesi is the ongoing support of Wynberg Boys' High School. Portia Mbude of the Western Cape Education Department was another to praise the learners' efforts, but she chose to do it in song! She soon had the audience joining in and Imished the fonnal part of the proceedings on a high note. Cwesi's 200 1 matric class kc.:pt up the good standard of previous ears; more than 65% of the papers wTiucn were passed The rnatric class is quite a mixed bag. Some students are teenagers taking the subject they failed one or two years ago. other students have steadily been working on one or two subjects a year as their difficult daytIme schedules allow. Still others are mature srudents who want to improve their chances of promotion at work or the might just be wanting to prove something to themselves: '1 can do it.' Whatever their reasons for stud}'ing, the adullleamers of CWesl have something la be proud of. Mr Joh,. Yomlg

DEPARTMENt REPORTS formalise this component of e.nrichment and we are hoping to compete in the JSE Schools Challenge, something which we have not undertaken at the school for several years. I firmly believe that the boys have much lo learn from this exercise and together with many real economic issues such as exchange rates and growth rates, this has already led to much debate and fun in the senior class. In closing, the enjoyment of teaching Accounting can be mainly attributed to its relevance in the real world and naturally the ability to experience computers at the same time. The subject really does open up avenues for the boys to pursue business related careers later in life. Our basic aim is to ensure that the boys are equipped with the necessary skills to enter the field of Accounting and at the same time to instil a sense of enjoyment in what they are doing. I look forward to 2002.

ACCOUNTING Subject Head: MrD RusselI Staff: Messrs M Galant., D Faulds, G Coombe, T Hepworth The Accounting Department has seen a rather large staff turnover during the year. Mr Eben Viljoen erlligrated to England at the end of August. Mr Viljoen has been subject head for the last two years, and I would like to thank him for his hard work and enthusiastic approach towards both his teaching and the running of the department. In his place we welcome Mr Derek Faulds. Mr Faulds is an experienced teacher and he is already making a significant contribution in his capacity as an Accounting teacher of the Grade 9 class. We are also grateful lo Mr Coombe for stepping in to help with the senior Accounting classes and to Mr Terry Hepworth for assisting with the junior classes. Their involvement is gratefuUy appreciated and has helped with the smooth running of the department. Accounting has continued lo flourish at the school. We were particularly pleased with the matric results of 2000, the best for a long time at this school. Computers in Accounting can never be overemphasised and we have continued to expose the senior classes lo the Pastel software package. Next year, we will introduce software which is more schools based, concentrating on the skills leanll at school This package will be introduced lO the boys in the junior phase of the subjecl and from there we wiU lead them on lo the more fonnal Accoullling sofh,vare. During the past year I have introduced both the Grade 9 and II classes to an infonnal investment game whereby the boys have been involved in the trading of shares on the Johannesburg Securities E change. The Intemet has allowed the boys to morulor their portfolios and tlus has provided 3 great sense of competition amongst the boys. Next year. WIth the assistance of Mr Faulds, Vie are looking to

SECOND LANGUA.GE

Subject Head: Mr J Laten Staff: Messrs M Galant, D Schend,., R Moolman, Rlnglis, Ms T Santi To study a second or third language broadens one's horizons. It enables one la understand other people better. At WBH Afrikaans has been the Cmderella for many years. We try to change the boys' attitudes by making the language more consumer friend) . Although il is not an easy tasie, the educators try to accommodate the learners. We have therefore decided to try a new approach-everybod will use a text book wrinen with second language learners in mind. The basic language ",ill be repeated every ear so that the learners have a sound knowledge b the time they reach Grade 12. Wynbel'l

Au appeal to parents: support the Afrikaans educators at WBHS, we would like to broaden our learners' horizons.

ABT Subject Head: Ms N Jordan 200 I has been a highlight of my art teaching career at Wynberg Boys' High School. Th.e matric class had to be one of the most vibrant and talented groups that Ihave ever taught Not only was th.e standard of their final products exceptional but also their participation in the act of creativity was of such a sincere and passionate nature that I indeed learnt that there are always higher realms at which to aim. The mat.ric class this year obtained 7 As for their fmal practical portfolios. This was over half the class, and even more noteworthy was that three of those As were over 96%! Well done, guys, and thank you for learning with me. Another highlight of the year was our "Arts and Music Evening" in the third term. This was a new event inspired by an exceptional year of artists and musicians. The hall was full of seruor art works and the musicians, bands, poets, choir and Xhosa group provided entertainment of an excellent standard. It meallt a great deal to me to host this celebration of creativity and to provide a platform for our boys to share their many talents. Teaching art to all 186 Grade 8 learners this year was a real challenge due to the sheer numbers of individuals who passed through the art room doors during the course of the year. Art is a subject where the teacher is required to unlock each individual's specific abilities and ideas and in the light of that. the OBE system is somewhat shanering. My Il years in the Art department at Wynberg Boys' High chool have been wonderful years in my life. I Will folio\! the future of the department with inlerest and I wish Gareth Davies all the best-I know that I am leaving it in very capable hands. To the mat.ric Art class of 2002. shoot for the moon and ma the sun shine on your efforts.

BIOLOGY Subject Head: MrG Taylor

Staff: Messrs J Buchanan, W Creed, A Cross, Mrs M Fischer The highlight this year was undoubtedly our inaugural, weeklong Grade 10 Ecology camp held at the beautiful Wortelgat campsite on the Hermanus lagoon near Stanford The camp combined ecological studies of four ecosystems (fynbos, mountain forest, dune and estuarine) with various team-building activities like abseiling and raftbuilding competitions. Much credit must go to Mrs Margie Fischer, our part-time Grade 10 Biology teacher, who was responsible for much of the planning of the camp. A booking for next year has already been confumed.

Next year, in addition to some of the activities already mentioned, we are planning to introduce Horticulture to our Grade 9's, Parasitology to our G1:ade li's, and to establish a commercial plant nursery on the school premises. We intend to utilise to a greater extent our computer-based evaluation and enrichment program. We were disappointed with our higher grade results for 2000, in which far too many boys who should have been doing the subject on the standard grade, failed on the higher grade. It is imperative that boys realise how much work is required in Grade 12 Biology and hence the imporlance of regular daily revision if they are to succeed on higher grade. Those not prepared to work hard should not even consider higher grade Biology. We are very sorry to be losing a stalwart of the Biology department, Mr James Buchanan. Mr Buchanan has brought vision, energy and creativity to the department during his II years on the WBHS staff and his input will be sorely missed by teachers and pupils alike. We wish him the very best in his n~w post We also say goodbye to Mrs Margie Fischer who has made a valuable contribution lO our Grade JO's as a part-time teacher and as a key organiser of the Grade 10 camp. We wish her all the best. Mr Bill Creed will be taking over from Mr Gordon Taylor as Biology department head for 2002.

Other activities of note were the Grade 10 visit to the Groote Schuur Heart Transplant Museum, and the Grade II ginger beer brewing contest Two groups of our Grade li's displayed projects at the VCT Science Expo. Tai Cronje, Richard McKerchar and Greg de Stadler won a silver medal for their research into the effects of trek net fishing on the pelagic stick in False Bay (their work ....'llS also entered into the State of the Environment Competition run by the Cape Town City Council); James StrickJand and Reza Ebrahim were also awarded a silver medal for their study on the sociological and environmental impact of the Sillery Nursery informal settlement on the local neighbourhood~ Matthew Hogarty, James Strickland and Greg de Stadler also represented our school in the Environmental Quiz Competition involving schools throughout Cape Town.

ENGLISH Subject Head: Mr L Kruger (Senior English) MTs E Steel (Junior English) Staff: Mesdames S Williamson, J Goodwin, D Birch, Messrs R Tipper, CBroster, B Bey (1st Term) As with all the years at WBHS there is never a dull moment, as our cheese keeps moving! (Refer to the little gem of a self-help book, Who Moved My Cheese?) 200 I saw the introduction of OBE. Languages tend to be taught., more or less, in an OBE fashion, so the changes were not that dramatic for our English learning area. One of the really positive developments was the introduction of a magnificent series of OBE modules developed by Macrat, a respected developer of study guides, et al. Their language modules took the Grade 8's right back to the roots of language writing development with its very sound drilling exercises and comprehensions-all topical and interesting. The poems included in these modules were relevant to our Grade 8 learners, so the boys responded well. The educators did fmd that the number of periods allocaled for the learners' first language study, three, by the Education Department, was far too few to tackle what needs to be covered in English. One of our highlights: the Grade 9's bad an interesting year in our department (we hope!) as they studied a novel, Tlte House ilJ Tyne Street, set in District Six prior to the forced removals. A number of our boys responded well as they had heard similar stories from their own older family members who had lived in this area years ago. We then went on an excursion lo the District Six Museum where the boys were taken on a tour by the author, Linda Fortune, hcrsell1 It was a very enjoyable 'voyage of discovery' as many of our learners had never travelled by train before, let alone been lO a museum in Cape Town. I think that so much was learnt on this outing. It is sad to realise that so few of our boys are taken out by their parents lo discover the diversit of treasure the Mother City has la offer. Wynberg's educalors of English feel that we have had a very successful year, and that we have done our best to make English as alive a language as possible--wherever wc could we have tried la link the various disciplines of our mother tongue lo prove that what is learnt in class is relevant to the 'real' world, loo. Wc hope that our love for our language has been reflected in our dedication lo the learners and in our quest for zero defect in language usage!

... FRENCH

Subject Head: MTs H van Heerden French was offered in Grades 8 and 9 this year. Boys from both grades produced some excellent work. Their projects, in particular, were impressive. These ranged from models of the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille and even a guillotine, lo posters on such diverse subjects as French cuisine and wine to a history of the miracles which took place in the town of Lourdes. Our French Day during the last lerm was successful. The Grade 9 boys produced an amusing skit on the BBC programme 'Allo, 'Allo, the Grade 8 and 9 boys learnt to sing the Marseillaise and delicious French snacks were sold al the tuckshop on that day. French will be offered in Grade 9 next year as well as, in all probability, in Grade 10.

GEOGRAPHY Subject Head: Mrs L Wilson Staff: Mrs C Hodgkinson, Messrs 0 Schenck,

o Faulds,

S Hudson-Bennett

Geography continues to be a popular subject choice at Wynberg Boys. Our approach is to try and keep issues relevant to the pupils, giving insight and awareness of the wider world around them. We like to think of Geography as 'happening' and encourage pupils to keep abreast of issues via the newspapers, television and the Internet. This year the biggest change came in Grade 8 Geography, as it was presented as part of the Human and Social Studies course. Teachers prepared various study modules and a wide variety of topics was covered. The modules were in line with an outcomes based approach and were found challenging by both students and teachers alike. This course will be followed again next year. Grades 9 through 12 saw a continuation of the core syllabus. Our Grade 12 group showed tremendous potential in the mock exams and we hope for a good overall result in the finals. This year the matric boys wrote the same mock exam as Wynberg Girls. The exam was set by teachers at both schools and gave the students a very good idea as to what to expect at the end of the year. The Grades 9's had an exciting project which required them to build a 'Future House'. The response by the pupils was remarkable. Lots of time and effort went into the task and we were very proud as a department to display the projects at the school's Expo. The Grade li's also contributed to the Expo with posters concerned with environmental issues in South Africa. A core of four teachers ran the department this year, each with their own unique approach and input We worked well as a team, sharing and assisting each other. My thanks to my colleagues for their input and enthusiasm and, in particular, to ~ Hodgkinson for looking after the ~ent dunng the fourth tenn while I was on materruty leave.

Subject H~d: Mr K Richardson Staff: Mrs 0 Birch In Sellar and Yeatrnan's 1066 and All That the following remark is made, "The first date in English History is 55BC in which year Julius Caesar landed. This was in the olden days when the Romans were the top nation on account of their classical education. " If only it was so simple today! Owing to uneconomical small classes, Latin at Wynberg is under threat This year saw only a matric class and a Grade 8 class. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm in the Grade 8's who, in addition to tackling the Cambridge Latin Course, spent an inordinate amount of their own time creating their own versions of Roman helmets, standards and shields. A number of these are on the Latin page of the Wynberg website. The matrics fInished off five years of school Latin having delved into classical history and culture; read, discussed and argued about a number of famous Latin authors; and scratched their heads over innumerable Latin unseens. Hopefully in years to come these young men who have experienced a classical education will indeed rise to the top of their chosen fields.

Darryn Grainger (bead monitor at the time) organised it and Mn; Leaver was very touched at the gesture. We thank her for nine years of dedicated service and miss her not only for her hard work but also the entertaimnent she gave the boys.

He is on the computer side but as an ex-librarian from Tokai Library, we hope to make use of his expertise sometimes. A very big thank you goes to our wonderful 'mams', Helen Smit., Laura Williams, Pat Rogers and Vanessa Jones, who regularly give of their time to help.

It's open from 08hOO-17hOO and always busy, especially during IS periods when boys make a beeline for the armchairs, couch and beanbags. The library quad is also a popular venue. The garden is growing well and the sound of running water from the water feature is a tranquil addition. We have two main concems--the cost of books is escalating and the large amount of missing books is alanning. In spite of this, 430 new books have been bought this year. However, the loss of books from our Library remains a grave concern and unless some measures to curb this can be implemented, we will have to cut our new purchases.

did prove quite difficult developing continuity and corrununication around topics when you only saw each class once a week. Nevertheless the classes were fun and enjoyable and designed to continually challenge the boys' thoughts in a creative manner. As a result of the 'staggered' periods, the department selected various topics and themes that we thought would benefit our Wynberg students within the contexts of their lives. Examples of these topics included: understanding yourself as a unique being; recognising the beauty of your inner self: respecting and showing an interest in other cultures; understanding stress and managing anger, f-llV/AIDS and substance abuse: as well as understanding the various dimensions of our lives. Life Orientation classes will be oOered to Grade 8's and 9's in 2002.

The Grade 12 results of 2000 were very pleasing with the matric average percentage for both high",. and standard grade being higher than the Wynberg region and provincial average percentage. 111ere were lOA's on the higher grade. We welcome one new member on board this year. Mr John Knight came to us from St Stithians College and becarne a very useful member of the Mathematics group. Pupils generally continue to find Mathematics a difficult subject. For this reason we continued offering the ex'lra maths classes in the afternoons. This was, however, very poorly attended. The introduction of remedial mathematics classes during nonnal school hours has thus been introduced for the year 2002. Teaching Maths in a positive, constructive wa was once again one of the aims of the departrnenL Pupils who battle with Maths often lack motivation and have a negative attitude to~ ards the subject. The integration of the compuler room with our Maths lessons was fw1her explored this year The Maths department recently purchased a software package, . Geometer's Sketch pad " which has become a valuable tool in teaching certain aspects in Mathematics. It is envisaged that pupils will attend the computer room much more ijl the year 2002.

TIle introduction of OBE at Grade 8 level was met with a mi,xed reaction from a nwnber of boys. Our school was selected as one of the pilot schools to rwl the project. This provided us WiUl valuable insight into (I) testing (2) assessment the OBE way. We have decided to tackle the approach of OBE by its horns. TIle Grade 8's will be using a new text book based on OBE principles next year. The lack of work ethic by the Grade 8's is still a point of concern. For that reason the teaching of Maths based on OBE principles and the nonnal drilling method was essential.

This year Martin Fischer and Paolo IrulOcenzi both received gold medals by being placed in the Top 10.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Subject Head: Mr E Blignaut Staff: Messrs D Allen, El Greenwood, L Moser, G Robertson Laboratory Assistant: MIs Petersen It is well-known that commerce faculties at the wliversities are overflowing with students intent on establishing a sound economic basis to their careers. At school this sometimes translates to pupils either choosing these subjects at the ex-pense of science, or regarding science as an extra subject to be jettisoned if it proves too demanding, or perhaps most disconcerting of all, regarding science as a ixth subject when a pass is only required on the best five. With the govenunent rcalising the importance of scientifically trained people, it is not surprising that the nwnber and value of bursaries at tertiary institutions has increased dramatically. FWldamental reasons for choosing science (and stlldying it!) apart from intrinsie interest and the value of a broad education, remain the values of developing the ability to reason, to work with figures and the di eipline lt Lmposcs-small \Vonder that the future employer IS especially interested in these pupils. The department has been allocated much-needed funds to update some of its equipment, a process which we hope will continue over the next few cars. Users of SCientific equipment will be well aware of Just how much this largely imported equipment escalates in price.

With the ink barely dry on welcoming Mr Graham Robertson, we fmd ourselves bidding him farewell as he departs for a post involving the greater use of computers in Science teaching. Apart from being a top Science and Maths teacher, he managed to involve himself thoroughly in a broad spectrum of school activities, and we wish him well in his future endeavours.

Subject Head: Mr P Kriel The matric group of 200 I must be congratulated for achieving a 84,85% average for their practical work. This outstanding achievement is surely a restut of dedicated hard work by the matric group. Of the 14 pupils, 100fthem achieved 80% or better, two 70%, one in UIe 60% and one in the 40% bracket. It is difficult to single out one matric project, but I think it is appropriate to mention the :lInowIt :lIld quality of the work André Dcdnam put into his project. It was made out of solid teak and yellowwood and consisted of four panelled doors, four glass doors, four drawers and e tensive carving on the plinth. The following projects were made by the matrics, who must all be commended on excellent work done throughout tilis year: Marc de Beer (an Oregon pine Welsh dresser), Andrew Vink (a mahogany pool table), Aidan Williams (an imbuia grandfather clock), Graeme Duthie (a solid oak double bed), Ryan Hinedell (a mahogany wall unit), Roland Brits (a butcher's table wiUI a solid marble top), MatU,ew McConke (a blackwood television cabinet), Jonathan Dentoll (an Oregon pine side cabinet), Michael Collins (a pau morrm coflee table), David Kelly (a beechwood side cabinet), Matthew Holmcs (a blackwood side cabulet), Anthony Hoard (a black and yellowwood jonkmanskas) and Ro Ritson (:lil imbuia double bed). Gary Cox also took a keen interest in woodwork and he was often seen helping Anthony or even making the odd projcct-his methods and quality may be questionable but his enthusiasm to help :liJd do thUlgS made hUn very much part of the Woodwork class.

Compared to a busy year in 2002, tillS year has been raUIer quiet for our department regarding major projects and activities. This year's matric pupils have come 31ld gone ruld we are looking forward to particularly good results from their senior certificate exams. On tile academic side, the ear has been quile interestÏJlg in that for the fLrst time togetiler with tile Wynberg Girls' High School we wrote the same papers for tile September exams for our matJics. This was a means to ulcrease our interaction and cooperation witil Wynberg Girls' High School. During t1Us process we shared ideas ruld skills in a mission to try 31ld improve our academic standards for pupils in botil schools. We are looking forward to el~gaging in more of these types of activities in the COmmg years. The Xhosa pupils who are involved in the traditional gumboots dance presented an exhilarating perfonnance at an arts ruld culture evelung orgrulised b Ms Jordan. The evelllng went well with our praise singer (imbongi) Mava Majikija opening tile floor ruld introducing our drulcers with an wnbongo (poem). This was followed by a rhythmical township dance presented by some of tile pupils. The sad side is that the new OBE s stem has cut down tile nwnbcr of periods for Ulird languages for tile Grade 8 pupils. Xhosa being offered as a tlUrd language meant iliat it had to suffer and (irade 8 pupils were only taught Xhosa once a week. This was a disaster Ul tile making; there is no way onc crul

learn a language effectively by doing it only onee every seven days. Sadly, the end result has been that Xhosa will not be offered in Grade 8 next year at all. Pupils will only be able to take it in Grade 9. The implications are even scarier with the new standardisation of languages countrywide as the status of third languages, specifically African languages, will go down if not become extinct, in schools like ours. This is an unfortunate slate of affairs where the opportunity for pupils to leam an African language, in Africa, has been denied by technicalilies in the name of improving our education. To watch Lance Klusener at the crease communicating with Makhaya Ntini in Zulu and Xhosa during a cricket match is interesting and exciting as tactics and messages are hidden from the confused opposition. Our pupils will be sportsmen for our provincial or national tearns one day and will rniss that opportunity of communicating secretly without the opposition understanding what is being said. However, we are looking forward positively to a good year next ear in doing our best to provide what we can for our leamers. Below are interesting dialogues from some of our Grade 9 and 10 pupils.

A WILL TO SURVIVE Wllllam Souter Grade8 "AIl to your stations," was the captain's order. "Engaging Bismarck." Within thirty seconds our main armament was blazing away, firing her deadly, explosive cargo into the Bismarck's inunaculate bodywork. But in no time at all the Bismarck's cannons replied, delivering an equally devastating blow. We had only exchanged half a dozen salvos when a small fire started on our shelter deck. Suddenly our ship blew up! The Bismarck's highly explosive shells had bombarded through our light armour and reached the after magazines, which blew the HMS Hood in two! The fmal explosion was so immense that many sailors vaporised. The heat generated also fused the hatches in a fifty-metre radius, resulting in hundreds of sailors being trapped below deck. With no escape routes, all these courageous men drowned. Oil and diesel from our destroyed battle cruiser poured into the North Atlantic Ocean. lnstantaneously, the slick was ablaze engulfing those sailors who managed to abandon ship. Those caught in the inferno were bumt to death. There were, however, some extremely lucky souls, including myself. who escaped the harsh conditions of the explosion and inferno. We now had to face the very icy sea, which was about 7"C. I remember whal it was like hitting the ice cold water. Il was like a grizzly bear punching me as hard as he could, straight in my solar plexus! I could not breathe. I could nol think ... But one lhiIlg was certainit \ as cold.

debris, mainly the broken-up sections of the wooden deck. This unfortunalely didn't work because we just did not have the strength to collect enough material. So, there we bobbed. The only object we could observe was that of the powerful merciless Bismarck disappearing beyond the horizon. Other than thal, we were alone. The sun came out from behind the rolling dark grey clouds, and for just that moment I look into account the tragedy that had just unfolded. I felt for all the sailors that had perished, for their families, their mothers knitting at home, and their fathers, working in the garages or factories. I took a slow look around the area to scout for any life, but the water was still. It was only us. Only the five of us. I slowly began to examine my injuries. discovered that half my index and middle fmger were bumed oO~ Miraculously, that was the only injury I sustained, absolutely nothing compared to my other shipmates. The man opposite me was bumt and blistered beyond recognition! Two men on either side of me were covered from head to toe in oil. Both courageous men had swallowed mouthfuls of thick black oil. It was slowly but surely destroying their lungs, stomachs and throats. With every gasping breath you seemed to hear their internal tissues dissolving. We waited and waited, growing colder and colder, waiting for something to break the monotonous sound of our chattering teeth. Two men started coughing up blood, a sure sign that their lungs and stomachs were virtually totally dissolved. Both died within minules of each other. We paid our last respects and pushed them away, watching as they sank to the realms below. We carried on bobbing there Ijke corks, waiting for something la appear on the horizon. We all said the Lord's Prayer and hoped for the best Little did we know that the convoy that would rescue us from our horrendous ordeal would anI come four hours after the battle commenced!

On this day, the 16th February 1998, my crew and I set out on our journey to fmd the ship, the Seafarer, wruch had stmk exactly one hundred years ago to the day. We were to explore the sunken vessel to see if any of the gold framed doors and windows were still to be found. No onc had survived the shipwreck.

On our first day we had a problem with one of the engi.nes and ani ruruling on one engine it would take us longer to reach our destillation We also had lots of trouble with the wind blowing us off course. By the third day quite a few passengers became seasick but we kept their hopes alive b assuring them that we only had three more days left at sea. As we approached the wreckage of the Seafarer there was much excitement aboard our vessel. The crew prepared themselves to commence their exploration of the \\Teckage. Three days went by and nothing of value was discovered. At the end of the tlurd day, we decided to land on the island nearb .

SPEECH INCITES MOB R..UIPAGE In an eloquent and rousing speech given at Julius Caesar's funeral, the great general Marcus Antonius openly castigated Marcus Brutus for his complicit in the murder and refuted claims that Hrutus had committed this vile act for tile good of Rome. During his address to tile emment assembly, Marcus Brutus attempted to arouse the sympathy of all by stating that what he had done was in fact good and that they were rid of a tyrant. "Had ou rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than Caesar were dead, to live all free menT' He further alluded to his 0\"'1 morta.lity when he said, " .. I have tile same dagger for myself, when it shall please m COWltr to need m deatil'·. In an Wlpreccdented show of his grealness as both a soldier and politician, Marcus AntolUus has truly demonstrated his leadership qualities in focusing Rome's attention on the true perpetrator of this heinous crime. TIle ambition of Rome is spearheaded by the ambition of the Emperor and th.Js was made very clear in his speech. Furthennore, references to the goodness of Julius Caesar and tile use of fOlld memories evoked much reaction from the crowd. The result has been devastating all acro Rome.

A raging mob spread like a swann of locusts across the city, killing all who remotely sowlded or looked likely to have been a conspirator. Although Marcus Antonius commands the anny now, no attempt was made at all to use military force to quell the rampaging through the streets. Meanwhile, Marcus Brutus has every right to be fearful and searches are being made to identify the other murderers.

Gladiator trainer, Anna Rabic, stated that he needed new gladiators to take part in the games. ''1 have lost many gladiators in the past but never this many on one day. I sensed that there was some complacency in the camp but I never knew that that factor would play such a huge role in the fighting." However, with all the negative statements about the last circus flying around, one must say that a valiant etIort came from Biggen Hairius, the bear trainer. who put on a marvellous act with Teddius. Planning is already underway for the next Circus Maxinlus and it will hopefully be a vast improvement. If you would like to appear in the next circus, as a gladiator, performance artist or a morsel for the beasts, contact us at Times New Roman and we will make the necessary arrangements.

THE BA.1TLE OF .lNLEC Bradley llo1der Grade 9 The great jaw snapped shut, tearing the elf warrior in two. The dismembered torso fell to the ground as the great dragon arched its neck Wld searched for its next victim. The row of sharp spears thrust in vain at the hard scales that protected the dragon's tough leather hide. With one mighty swing of his sword, the dragon's rider beheaded three of his attackers. This mighty dragon rider was Morath, King of the Black Elves. As their limp bodies fell, the frontline of Morath's elven army charged. The opponent of the Black Elves was the elven Citadel wlder the rule of a knowledgeable and noble elf, Lord Eltharion. Now their home was under attack and their peace turned to chaos. The dragon let out a deafening roar that sent the spearmen running, retreating. As they turned to escape, the dragon took in a deep breath, filling its massive lungs. With another loud bellow, it released a cloud of thick. noxious gas that engulfed the fleeing troops. In a matter of seconds, the entire battalion of spearmen was brought to its knees, gasping for breath. Their lungs were being burnt by the corrosive acids in the dragon's breath, each of them would eventually suffocate to death in mere minutes with excruciating pain. Morath dug his heels into his stirrups. It was the signal that his mount was to take to the air. The giant beast stretched out its wings to their full span, casting a dark shadow on the blood-stained earth below. With a few beats óf its wings it was airborne, hovering above the swanning mass of warriors. From his high vantage point, Morath could see that the battle was going in his favour. The charge of his knights and their reptilian mounts had broken the flank of their opponent's frontline. Once through, they devoured the dainty archers that were situated at the rear, where they would have been protected. His waniors had been victorious and were al that moment gathering the captured elves and slallding them in lines. The ancient palace of Anlec was once again his to rule and fortify. From here he could once more strike at the other citadels in the dense forests to the east. He issued a conunand to the dragon and it glided down from the heavens towards the palace. The creature landed on a ruined marble stairway that led to the throne room. Morath dismounted and strode up the stairs to the entrance to the throne room. The door was still locked and was opened only by magic, the one security measure that the Royalty had to

protect themselves against intruders. Unfortunately the magic of old was no match for the power of Morath's dark magic. With the chant of a few words, the doors sprung open as if blown open. There was an eerie wind that blew from the darkness and a musty smell. Morath found it strange that there were no guards posted at the door and no lights within the chamber. Once within the room he noticed that the room was dimly lit with the occasional candle burning here and there. Then, a confident voice spoke oul to Morath. "Come no further, this is not your place to rule:' said the voice from somewhere ..vithin the room. "And who is this that dares tell me I may not rule over what is mine now'?" replied Morath with anger and hatred to he who defied him. From behind a marble block, where the throne once stood, stepped a single elven warrior. On his head he wore a feathery wreath, the sign of an advanced sorcerer, and in his hand he held a curved dagger whose mag.ic could be sensed by Morath. He knew automatically who it was. It was his target. Eltharion. "Ah, the illusive leader of the army who cowers in rus palace. Are you able to put up a worthwhile struggle or are you going to make your death easy?" Eltharion took up Morath's challenge and raised his sword in preparation to fight. Morath had little doubt he could kill the warrior but did nol wish lo give Eltharion an honourable fight. As Eltharion charged, Morath pointed his sword towards the charging elf and whispered a single word. He had cast a spell on Eltharion. Eltharion felt a darkuess surrowld him. He clutched at his throat, wlable to breathe. His entire body hurt as though his blood had been turned to molten lead and he fell to his knees in agony. Morath stepped over to where the soldier had fallen and with his disguised strength he hauled the warrior up and dragged him out onto the old stairs. Over a h\llIdred of Eltharion's men knelt ill a long line, their hands boWld behitld their backs and their necks exposed. Over each of them stood one of Morath's. elit.e executioners willl their blades held high in readiness. "Pledge your loyalty to me and your men \vill live. They are misguided fools and will be put right in my army if you hand over power to me. If you don't, then you and your men will be killed. You choose." Eltharion's pain multiplied tenfold \vith the knowledge thal he had the lives of the men in his hands. He knew thaI he would never bow down to Morath, his men would not agree either. With his last strength, he raised his head in defiance.

With this defiance Morath tightened his grasp around Eltharion's neck and fell him go limp as he slipped into unconsciousness. He then raised the corpse and threw it down the stairs and walched as it rolled lo the bottom. He then instructed thaI Eltharion's body be senl to the nex1. citadel as a warning to anyone who defies him. "And whal do we do with the prisoners?" asked one of his commanders. "Kill them! Kill them all!" This was met by the dull thuds of elven heads as they were separated from their bodies. As he made his way back to the throne room and salon the cold stone, a smile appeared on his face. Such slaughter would be the fate of all who defied him. The weak must die in order for the strong to prevail.

MRS ROGERS J1ID HEB DIY PLUlO Jesse GoldswaiD Grade9 John woke up to the smell of hol, fresh pancakes. He knew it was Friday because his Mom always made pancakes for breakfast on Fridays, but this was no ordinary Friday; this was the last day of school and John was looking forward to his summer holidays. He got dressed and went downstairs. ''Morning, John," his mother said cheerfully. "Big day ahead-Iasl day of school before your log warm summer holiday." As if John didn'l know this. John asked whal the plans were for after school today. "You've got your piano lesson ..vith Mrs Rogers, remember." John had clearly forgotten. He hated the piano lessons, especially with Mrs Rogers. Her house smelt of boiled cabbage and vinegar. John only went to keep his mother happy, so he said, "Oh, yeah, I really am looking forward lo this lesson!" Mrs Rogers lived over on the other side of the town. She was known to have a spectacular collection of pianos. which she and her husband made themselves The pianos had the most wonderful sounds to them and the keys, especially, were a work of art. It was said thaI they were made of animal bone. The gut which connected the keys to the ring, apparently from animals, loo. "You beller take those pancakes with you or you'll be late for school." lie filled his mouth with as many pancakes as he could and took the rest in his hands. "Bye, Mom, see you later!"

"Boo!" yelled Jim, knocking JaM clean off his feet and inlo the bushes. "Don't do that!" moaned JaM. "SalT)', I couldn't help myself," laughed Jim as he helped JaM back onlo his feet. "You're in a bit of a mood, aren't you?" "T know, I have to go lo Mrs Rogers for my piano lesson and I really don't like her. There's something about her that gives me the creeps. She's always going on about how wonderful her pianos are, and how satisfying it was lo have made the latest one. Then she runs her fmgers over the keys with a horrible look on her face." He noticed his breakfasl lying on the ground. "Oh no, my pancakes are all dirty! I was hungry, loo!" "Here, bave a biscuit," offered Jim. "Thanks. We better get a move on or else we'll be late." The two boys ran down the street and over the road where they entered the school. "See you al lunch," yelled JOM over the sound of the school belL JOM was baving a very relaxing day because it was the last day of term. When the bell rang for lunch he wenlover lo the basketball courts where he and some friends hWlg oul during lunch. "Want to come around to my house after school?

Oh wait, ['ve got to go lo a stupid piano lesson atler school and then I've got to go home for supper:' said JOM in a very wlpleasant tone. The bell rang for the end of lunch and Joml went back to his class. When school was over, JaM met Jim outside the school and walked over the road and up the streel where Mrs Rogers lived. "Oh well, I guess I'll see you later. Bye!" said JOlul reluctantly to Jim as he walked through the gates and up the path lo the front door. As he was about to knock, the door swung open and tllere was Mrs Rogers. "Hello Jorum , please come in;' said Mrs Rogers. JOM was quite startled and walked inlo the old house.

He noticed, however, that a few Wynber~

keys were missing. "What happened to these keys?" said John, pointing to the open gaps where the keys would fit in. "Oh, I should be getting those in today. The supplier ran out lemporarily," said Mrs Rogers with that nasty grin stiU on her facc. John noticed something else; the keys were all slightly different shades of ivory, at least, he thought they were ivory. "Should we get started?" asked John. "Oh no, we won't be doing aJly playing today," said Mrs Rogers, wiili aJ1 even wider grin. "Why nol?" asked John "I had a little something else plrumed for today. You see, I've had a little trouble with a rather interesting contraption that I purchased from an antique shop."

HUNTIID Juli&D VIncent ud Andrew Bengston

Before faUing asleep I made some more mental notes. This time, things in excess al the campsite: s'inging, praying and general worship.

Grade 10 Two men climbed through the small hole in the fence, to the nature reserve. Tbey loaded their riOes and almost immediately they spotted their prey, shooting it and cutting off its tusks. They sat dO\\<Tl to celebrate their victory. Hearing heavy footsteps, the two looked up and realised that they were the ones being hunted.

A SECOND CHANGE Adri.aDSchofield ud Glen Molld Grade 10 His arrival in heaven was quite startling-to see aU those clouds and aint Peter. But he heard very interesting news. He was to go back to his body. So he went back through the bright light to lind himself U1 a dark., cramped space. It was soft, though, and smelt strongly of fresh pUle.

CDlPDllRY Ray vu Breda Grade 10 Day ODe Wc anived at Wortelgat at about noon. We are hterally In the ITUddle of nowhere, surrounded by fynbos and waler on all fronls. We were quickly briefed, and then embarked on our gruelling trek down to our barracks, the Bush Camp. Later on Ul the allemoon we were forced into domg some 'teambuilding' exercises I think teamv,ork is overraled Towards evening we wanned up our braai meat and went to bed. Before falling asleep, I made some mental notes on what was mis mg from the campsIte: electricny and toilet doors. Day Two Constipallon sets in. 1 realise that my fruit loops and conee diet is not good for me. We were marched on down to the beach III the early hours of the morning where we stayed for many hours eating, walking, Jumping dO\\-11 big dunes and generally just frolicking Notlcc that we didn '( do any work at aU. Scott Dewar overheard Tim choltz disrcspecting him and his lady friend. I fear for Tim's life Later on \\c drank some coffee, then sel lire to various deodorant-soaked objects and went to bed.

Day Three Again we embark to retrace our steps to the starting point, except this lime we are led on a longer winding road by an elderly man who stops every few metres lo recite the names of various plants. Later on, I learned that this was the 'fynbos' part of our studies here at camp. We were placed in a dormitory above the kitchen. We were delighted to see a light switch, but moderately less so when we found out that it only worked between 7pm and Il pm. Towards midday we were shipped otT in Mr Cross' car to go to the mountain. We hiked our way further inlo nowhere, across steep slopes and slippery rocks with the guide who got lost. We finally reached our destination, a dense mossy clearing with a waterfall pounding into a beauttful black mountain stream. There \\e sal for a few hours while the guide was lost. It was a case of the blind leading the blind. When we [mally returned, we cooked our meat and went lo bed. Mental nole: this place has toilet doors but no toilet paper. Life IS an ongoing struggle for disposal. Day Four Today was spent mainly relaxing in our dormitory eating. Towards noon we went to a lie Id to do more 'leambuilding' exercises. Then we went down to the lagoon to build rafts. I did not help in the building of the rail as 1 was the chosen one who was to be 'rescued' from the floating jetty We all got relatively wel during this exercise so 1 ran back to camp to have a wann shower (my lirst in three days). Unexpectedly, my nose started to bleed and by the time 1 had staunched the bleeding I had lost quite lot of blood and swaUowed quile a bit of it too I felt lighl-headed and nauseous. It sucked. Later we played indoor volle ball and then went to bed. Mental nole: I can't wait lo go home tomorrow to my toilet.

SOUNDS, UGHI'S _ .lND THE SHA. llaUbew WIllis Grade tt I watched her as she came out of the house, quickly walking down the garden path towards my car. Hayley looked aU of seventeen years old, but at a mere fifteen, it was the fIrSt time she was allowed to go lo a rave. Her mother was nol all thai strict, just concerned, I guess, but what mother wouldn't be? She opened the door and slid inside onto the passenger seaL Her black, wrute and lime green outfit was perfect for the dance floor yet subtle enough not to attract attention to herself. "Hi, Donovan," she said. "Yo, wazzup?" I replied. ''Not much. My mom just gave me a talk about safety and all that. You know how it is." "Yeah, but she's just concerned. Don't worry, though, you're in safe hands." "Mmm," she said, 'tonight is gOJUIa be awesome!" I looked at her for a moment. "Sure is," I said, smiling. We arrived at Dockside, the host of the Ministry of Sound Party, at around seven o'clock. After parking the car we embraced in a passionate kiss wtUch ended in a hug, and walked hand in hand to the entrance. The event was already in full swing, music blasting out of the building's orifices, and one could imagine the fOWldationsscreaming in agony as the bass tried to rip them from the ground. The bounder looked at my ID to check that I was 18, but as expected did not take a second glance at Hayley. As long as a girl was with an over-18 boy it was legal. We walked through the short entrance and as we neared the end of the tunnel a whole world emerged in front of our eyes. Lights, lasers, disco balls, reflectors, and screens were all ablaze with activity, and as we looked down from the entrance platform onto the dance floor, we saw a sea of gyrating bodies, writhing in time to the music. This was exactly what we bad come here for. Hayley's eyes Were widening. She \! as too amazed to say anything, which ~ as a good thing because the music was so loud even a mouth to the ear would be difficult to hear. I led Hayley down a short flight of metal stairs to the dance floor, gazing at the wires hanging from the roof creating a decorative moodsetter, and the huge water cannons read to spm thousands of ravers with sno-foam. frothing the sea. A wall of speakers faced the crowd and several auxiliary sets \ ere placed along the side. I could feel my stel1lwu vibrating in m chest, much like a

jackhammer. We waded into the sea of bodies and found a small gap wruch we pressed into, bodies encompassing us, the music already taking control of our arms and legs. It sent the hive mind of the ravers the single message of the beat, and everyone listened to the true universal language that brought millions of people arowld the world together. A couple of hours later we retired to one of the crullout pits, areas dedicated to relaxing and recharging for more raving. As we lay motionless on a couch, gazing at each other, a man dressed in tight-fitting black clothes approached us. "Recharging?" he asked. We both nodded our hea.ds. ''How about a little something to help you out?" "Like what?" I asked. "A Red Bull energ drink?" ''Naa, those don't really work," he replied. "I was thinking of something a little bit stronger." He motioned towards rus left hand as it pulled a small plastic bag from rus pocket. In it were four white tablets. He reached into his pocket again and pulled out two tiny wrapped packages, inside of wruch was wrute powder. "About ninety percent of the people on the floor are using this. Doesn't do much harm, as long as you don't overdose on it." "What is it?" Hayle asked. "Two ecstasy tablets and a small pack of Thai wlJte heroin," he answered. "Gives you such a recharge you won't have to come back in here again. Prepare to dance the night away." I was exhausted. and a recharge sounded good. so I asked him hO\ much these luxuries would cost. "First lime is free. Just remember to buy from me next time. Just ask for Bob." "Thanks, Bob," I said, taking the packets from him. He hurried away. I tumed to Hayle . ''Do you wanna try some?'· I askee!. She looked at me trustingly and I handed her two tablets and one packet of Thai white. We swallowed the pills simultaneously, and wlwrapped our Thai white, which we sniffed, as per instructions on the packet. We then retumed to the dance 1100r,sucked in by the willingness to share the experience with thousands. I emerged from the rest room a wrule later, glad to be relieved. I looked over the dance floor for a moment before turning to descend the stairs and rejoin the crowd. But something made me t1lJ11 to look again. a movement perbaps, maybe instinct, maybe something else. I saw a figure drop in the crowd and the sea part as the dead weight fell like a stone. I peered closer, finding it difficult to focus for all the lighting effects that were playing across the surface of the crowd. A spotlight passed over the area in a random fashion, iUwuinating the figure on

''Hold on, Hayley," I said soflly into her ear. Suddenly her ann shot out and clipped the side of my face. "Hayley-", I started to say, but was cut off by the sight of her face. It was contorted into an ugly mask. The drugs had distorted her beauty, tlU1ling her into a paradox in my mind's eye. Her face began to relax and I felt a sigh of relief rising. But before it could reach my open mouth, her bod rose 00' the bed and slanuued down, the drugs racking her body with convulsions. Blood ran down the side of her mouth. All I could do was sit on the floor and watch as the poison ravished her body. Her mouth opem:d and she let out an inhwnan scream. As quickly as it began it finished. her body lying still. I tumed to UIe sound of hastened footsteps aJld looked into the eyes of a IIIother who had just lost her daughter. I was swept into her disbelieving, hollow gaze. and as I sWaJn into her eyes, her world, I felt all connections \\~th reality fade and the endless sea of loneliness encompass me. No bodies to move with, no hive mind, nolliing, just endless despair, seclusion aJld isolation.

the floor. The black, white and lime green outfit was wunistakable. I ran down the stairs and dived into the crowd, swinuning through tbe bodies until I reached Hayley. I picked her up and carried her into the chill-out pil Laying her on the couch, 1 reached for her ann and felt for her pulse. It was weak, but there nevertheless. I splashed her face with water from the drinking fountain, and her cyes fluttered open. ''1-1 want to go h-home:' she said softly. picked her up and rushed through the pit to the stairs and ultimately, the exit. The drugs that were hurling her were giving me the strength to get to the car quickly, but as I lay her in the front seat, I felt my head start to swim. I reached for the door to steady myself. Slowly I edged around the car, every muscle screami.ng at me to lie down. Aller an etemity I managed to chmb into the driver's seat, and for some odd reason remembering to fasten my seatbelt. I reached over and stretched one over Hayley, securing it ijl place. I was in no slate to drive, so 1 sat for a few moments to clC.'U1the fuzz ofr the inside of my brain. What had I done? How could I have taken this filth, and even worse, how could 1 have let Hayley take it? As I thought of what I could do, it suddenly dawned on me that I was in trouble. very serious trouble. Schoolboy days were over. I had escorted a girl who was quite possibly dying in my car, and what's more I couldn't take her to the hospital, they would wonder how she got the drugs. I would get arrested! I would have to take her home, even if it meant facing her mother. I tlU1led the ignition key, and in doing so tumed all my thoughts and concentration to driving.

THE KING AND HIS WIDOW J&lDes Stricldand Grade tt

I looked at Hayley's face, beads of sweat gaUlering on her forehead. 1 wiped them away with my sweatshirt ab ently, my tnind on other thoughts. I had opened the door with Hayley's keys and carried her steallliily up the stairs to her bedroom, laying her on the bed. I did not know where in the house hL"mother was, but sooner or later I would have to find her, and take responsibility even as the eO'ects of the drugs still played with my head, even as she watched her daughter suO'er. My mind was buzzing with questions and no answers. bl less than a minute I had changed another life [death] completely, and I didn't know the exact outcome. [death] M head was echoing with the word I had dreaded since I saw the black, white and lime green figure lying on the dance floor. The mere thought sent shivers that felt more like earthquakes down my back, shaking my foundations, shaking my legs, causing me to collapse on the floor.

The sword slid gracefully llirough the sparse annour that vainly attempted to protect its holder. The surprised expression on the dead man' s face was enough to bring a faint smile to UIe lips of Puerilis. The swill execution had allowed him a brief respite, aJld he took the chance to survey his surroundings. Dead bodies littered the area but he could see none that bore the lIlark of the Deathwatch Legionnaires. The maJl he had just slain would have kJlowlI that he had been killed by a living legend. He should be grateful for the honour. Slowly but surely the umnistakable sound of war accompaJlied the last adversaries to their graves, followed b a sombre silence that would deafen the deaf. TIle men exploded with ecstatic cheers. "Puerilis the Mighty! Long live Puerilis!" they chanted. Puerilis, Commander-in-chief to the Deathwatch Legionnaires, heir to the llirolle of the Golden Empire, raised his gloriously adomed sword to salute his victorious charges. He had just won UIe greatest battle of his esteemed military career. And the throne awaited him back home. The old wooden clock above the maJlUe stnlck eleven.

pretending to concentrate on the parchment in his hands. It had been fourteen long years since his glory days on the battlefield. Now he was regarded as a god, untouchable by humaIl hallds, a living legend who never lost a baltle. He had conquered all the known world. So why then, thought Puerilis, should a king as mighty as himself be concemed with the condition of the roads or the feeble peasants? He tossed the parchment given to him by his secretary into the roaring flalnes with all air of absolute disdain. The mighty flaJ11esscoured the whimpering paper, leaving total devastation in their wake. His armies had done that once. Now he was King Puerilis tile Mighty, who ruled with a WTOUghtiron fist. Nobody told him what lo do, absolutely nobody. Least of all some stupid woman. Puerilis had 110 taste for women, aJ1d saw them as insufferable workhorses. "More win, sir?" asked the serving girl. "'No!'"snapped Puerilis. Puerilis turned to face tlle girl with a biting comment 011 the tip of his tongue when a strange feeling CaJneover him.

SCHOOL MEMORIES James 8trlcklud Grade tt I aJ11 absolutely certain that any boy who has managed to complete four years of high school \'lÏll have an endless archive of memorable moments. 1 know I do. And it is these memories fuat make high school what it is. At the end of the day, it's not fue classes, tests or assemblies tilat make an impression-it's tilose unforgettable moments of sheer hilarity. Here we go. The atmosphere in the teacher less standard 6C Maths class was indicative of the excited and carefree attitude of the boys in tl1is grade. The absenteeism of tile teacher only served to heighten tile anticipation of the elusive and rare 'free period'. Ten minutes gene. No teacher. Fifteen minutes. The noise level had gradually, and oblivious to tile boys, increased to fever pitch. Abandoned desks were becOlning an increasing occurrence. As is customary in any classroom squabble, several projectiles were being exchanged between two sides of tile class. Then CaJuelhe declaration of war. A dismembered chair leg was viciousl hurled across llle field of battle, resulting in an aggressive retaliation.

Each side, partially protected by tileir wall of desks, began to bombard tile opposition with anyUling from paper to metal missiles, and everyUling in between. A deafening hush descended over llle ma hem, resulting in wary eyes peeking above the wooden rims of the desk. And as quick as it had begun, the war ended. And so tile adrenaline of battle was swif1ly converted into tile panic of inevitable punishment. The bralld new while board was defaced by an enormous black scratch.

That day, as I stood there alone, all things merged into, one and a river ran through il.

ALONE Paul T8.11 N"unwegen

Grade t2 It was a clear, crisp morning, as I stood alone on the banks of the mighty Eerste River. The sun began to nse, casting magnificent shadows over the thundering river. A spider's web, covered in dew, sparkled and glistened in the fresh, early morning sun. As I made my way doy.'l1 the river I realised that I was alone-one with the wildemess. The tranquillity of nature brought a smile to my face. I had a good feeling thal day and expectations of hooking large rainbow trout ran high. The sun had risen above the mountains now. I had fmaUy reached my desired fishing spol for the day and began setting up my rod and reel. The willow branches barred my way to the water's edge but this did nol hinder my advance. I began casting, my rod bending, as I worked it backwards and forwards. My flrst cast was a clumsy one, my Oy not travelling far at all. Frustration began to enrage me. However, I persevered with diligence and zesL As the day progressed, so did my casting technique but I saw no fish, let alone caught any. For lunch, as I sat under a shady willow, eating and SImultaneously hiding from the sweltering sun I was able to admire the diversity of nature at its besl. For the creatures living there I was probably one of the only humans thai they would ever see. ~fter eat0g my lunch it was time la start fishing agam. ~ta.ndil1g on a rock I noticed a dark pool of water, S1tualed at the end of a fast Dowing rapid. It was shaded by a hanging wiUow tree. I was co~~dent that a large trout lay in those depths, wrutIng for a helpless insect to be washed down the ra~ids. I decided to change my fly la a 'Mudler's Minnow'. As I began casting once again, my rod began to bend, forming a perfect arc. My Dy shot forward and landed beneath the wiUow tree as I released it With shaking hands I'began to r~trieve il. My slow and steady pulls were halted by a sharp tug. . The waler erupted as a magnificently plump rambow trout surfaced, breaking the peace and tranquillity that I had experienced the entire morning. With an enormous grin I began to fight the awesome creature. After what seemed like hours the exhausted fish slid into my landing net. As I stood there alone, nobody to witness my glorious catch, a strange feeling of satisfaction Oowed through my body. As I released that fish and it darted oIT into the de~ths of the river, I knew that nobody would believe me. That was alright, as nothing else mattered to me at that peaceful momenl. Wynber.:

DE.A.TH TO THE DAY Gveth E'fel'e8t Grade t2 As I sit here in this room and gaze out to the sky, I see the light departing, killing off the sky, and as the daytime fades away, the birds refrain from song, it's as though life is ending now that the day is gone. Now I look back to the sky and see the stars are shining, reflecting off the light produced by the angelic moon. And as the stars shine brightly up in the velvet sky, I see the earth rejuvenate with creatures weird and wild. It's now I see true life begins not when the sun is bom, but when the moon comes overhead and takes over the sk-y.

moUGHTS AND IDEAS Richard Fraser Grade 12 !s there reaUy any point to our existence, or are we JUst meaningless beings wanderulg the earth? Is there really a God or do we just use the idea of God as someone, or something, to make us feel better when we are sad, to give us hope in our lives? These are thoughts that from time to time have passed through all our minds. That is what makes being a person so brilliant, that we can think for ourselves and have our own ideas and are not animals driven by their inborn instincts for survival. . Imagine if we could not think or comprehend Ideas: Then there would be no meaning la the life we live, then "you're just another number on the list". You would not be able to imagine what it would be like to run along a beach ijl the Bahamas with the warm, tropical water splashing against your legs or the sand seeping between your toes. You would not be able to think of thal quick one-liner to grab your dream girl's attention. Life would be so boring an~ would have no point; it would just be the same rout1l1e over and over again. But along with thoughts and ideas comes the possibility of sinning, lust and envy. It makes us realise the mistakes we make and just how imperfect we as hwnans are. But luckily it also gives us the possibility of solving those mistakes. We think how

it could have been done or how things would have gone "if only" I had turned left instead of right, of "if only" I had not copied his work. Who cares how things might have gone on in the past? It is in the past and that is where it should stay. To me that is what makes the ability to think and fonnulate ideas so mind-blowing, that we can learn from our mistakes and think of how we can do it next time. Life would be fairly boring if you did everything absolutely perfectly; you would never have a chance to ex-pand yourself or your mind-you would never learn anything. Thoughts and ideas give you the chance to go against the grain, to realise that something is wrong and to change it Not just to believe all that you hear and do as you are told, like a mindless zombie. It gives you the ability to make choices and nm your own life as you see fit, to "take lime to reflect the status quo before you reject the opportwuties given to you". Opportwuties arise [ram thoughts and ideas. They are the cornerstone of every great building or business. If nobody had thought of how to build the Empire State building il would not have been built. If nobody had -come up with the idea of the computer, there would not be a multibillion dollar information technology business. 1l1ey al! stemmed from one person's thoughts or ideas. In closing, thoughts and ideas are what make life worth living.

EDUCATION Simon Paton Grade 12 Education

is the influence of one perSDIl on Arnold. When we think of education, many of us think of school work, tests, exams, teachers. However, education is also the accumulation of knowledge that will help us to grow as a person. HWldreds of years ago there were no schools. If there were no schools, then how was one educated? Well, hWldreds of years ago yOWlgpeople received their education by apprenticing trained and learned ciders. The elders were wise and would pass their wisdom and knowledge on to their young apprentices. In tllat day and age, education was most certainly the influence of one persou on another. But much has changed since then, or so it seems. Nowadays, we have things called 'schools'. However there are slill learned masIers and tbere are still oung and inexperienced apprentices, now knOWll as educators and learners, respectively.

another-Matthew

Wynberl:

Schools have made it possible for the master to teach the apprentices on a larger scale. The leacher passes his knowledge on to his or her pupils. Thus. it can be stated that education is still the influence of one person on another. However, is it not possible to get an education just by reading books? Yes, it is possible, but one must not forget that those books have been written by people and il is in fact the person who wTote the book who is educating us, and not the actual book itself. I like to call this 'indirect education' as we are being influenced by a person through tlleir work. We may even be influenced and educated by people who have never even met us before. I personally have learnt a tremendous amount from a man by the name ofTony Robbins. I have never met th.is man, but through his books I have learnt so much. Tony Robbins has taught me more about life and wlderstanding myself in two weeks than I would have learnt in my whole lifetime had I not come across his work. The abovementioned point indicates that the quality of our education is dependent on our teacher/ coachIrole model. I believe that if one has a wise and charismatic teacher whose methods are effective and is enthusiastic about what he or she is teaching, then one's education will be far better than if one was taught by a lazy and badly motivated teacher. As strange as it may seem, we learn a lot from music that we listen to. We are influenced by the message tllal certain singers put out through their songs and the words of songs in particular call have adverse effects on our lives. In this case il is the songwriter who is educating us. This point can be illustrated by a quotation from Bruce Springsteen: "Wc learnt more from a three minute record. baby, than we ever did in school," in his song 'No Surrender' . I firmly believe that education is tile influence of one person on another and I hope that by reading tilis essay, you, too, believe this.

It was pleasing to see that all societies were well attended, and that much was achieved. The reports from particularly active societies appear below.

Chairman: Graeme WatkUls

Senior team: Chris Doidge (Blues), Stephen Jubber (Colours), Ryan Alexander (Colours).

This society was run by the always energetic and enthusiastic actorlleamer, Graeme Watkins. Members were given the opportunity to work on improvisations, difTerent techniques were rehearsed and members definitely enjoyed the experience. They were tested at the Cape Town Eisteddfod when they entered a jwuor and a senior team for the section, 'Creative Advert'. Adjudicated by Blaise Koch, the senior team, headed by Graeme, received Honours. The junior team, 'captained' by EtieJUle Davis, got the highest award-Diploma.

Junior team: Neville Krige, Kyle Porter, Greg Day. The Seniors attended training sessions early in the year run by the UCT Debating Society, to familiarise themselves with the new 'World Schools' debating style, which Rotary introduced in the senior interschool competition this year. This style gives rise to much more lively debating, as speakers can be interrupted on 'points of information' by the opposition. The boys mastered the techniques quickly and their debates were entertainil1g and of a very high standard. The Juniors will be switching to this style next year. We have had a busy year. Seniors and Juniors each debated against five other schools in the first round of the Rotary competition and the Seniors went through at the top of their group in the quarterfmals. TIle Seniors also spent four days dUrÏ1lgthe June holidays debating in the Western Province schools trials in Worcester, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Jubber. They had to debate against five other schools. Chris Doidge made the preliminary WP squad. Both Seniors and Juniors had a nwnber of friendly debates tius year. We enjoyed close contact with Wynberg Girls' High debaters and also debated against Grey College in Port Elizabeth and against our Old Boys. Home debates were well supported by hostel boys and the Cultural Committee, and towards the end of the season our debating nwnbers grew most gratifyingly. We now have at least another two junior sides eager to debate alld showing lots of pronlise. We hope to have monthly hostel debates next year as well as interhouse debates and interclass Grade 12 debates. My thanks to all the debaters for their enthusiasm and commitment and to Chris and

The malll aim was to discuss filins we had seen and either recommend them or 'discard' them, watch a recOlJUnendedfilm or three, and generally talk about films. The society was kept small and select as we did not want to beéome a group that sat arowld not doing anything constructive and we wanted to enable everyone to contribute to discussions. We kept to our aims and the society turned out to be very successful.

WYNBERGL\N Teacher-in-Cha~e: MTs E Steel

Editors: Kevin Jeffrey, Matthew Hogarty

Sports Editor: Chaz Williams The Wynbergian is a humorous, satirical publication which is produced by the boys for the boys at the end of every tenno At one stage, a few years back, it was printed free for us by a generous benefactor, but that is no longer the case. The costs of printing tlle 40 page, A4 size magazine have risen alarmingly, especially this year, and it looked as though fuis fine Wynberg tradition would have to bite the dust. But tlle doughty editors would not accept the dem.ise of the publication, nor did they want to increase the price which has remained at a very affordable R3 per copy. Advertising was an obvious solution, but ilO response was forthcoming and so, as a last resort, tlle editors tllernseJves tackled the time-consuming task of photocopying and stapling the 500 copies usually produced. The size was reduced to AS, which many readers prefer.

The new editors, Paul White, Robert Asaro and Kyle Nash, followed suit and spent a productive day once their exams were finished., copying and stapling tlle final tenn editioll. Thanks are due to the oung (consisting entirely of Grade 8's) and enthusiastic Cartoon Society under the leadership of Keegan Badham- Thornhill, for their wicked., spot-on caricatures of teachers and other weird and wonderful characters ill the school. Thanks also to Wynberg Girls' High for supporting us so ~ell :md buying up all tlle copies that do not get sold at the boys' school. We appreciate tlleir interest. We look forward to another productive year capturing the images, quotes, and eccentricities of the family of Wynberg.

Vice-Head: Ryan Hogarty

Rouse Captain: Ivan Prozesk)'

The following played an important role: our gap year students, Michael Lowes, Paul ~r and Richard Lawrence; matrons Mesdames Berme Sauls and Bev Tromp and their leam of helpers; and Mr Bellis-Jones who looked after the catering. Our prefects under the leadership of Herbie played an important role ensuring that the year was memorable. Jolumy, our gardener, left Littlewood this year after faIling ill and he was replaced by Eduard. ably led by Jeremy, our general hand~an. ~e work they all did (painting dorms, garderung, m~g new notice-boards and tiling the telephone area) IS much appreciated. This year Littlewood boasts a new roof and gutters--a process which took over five m~nths ~ compIele during Cape Town's wettest wmter UI almost forty years.

Prefects: Robert Page, Ivan Prozesky, Thuthuka IDophe The Littlewood men of 200 I led the field in many aspects of school life. At Sports Day and at the Swimming Gala the boarders led the cheering on the stands with enthusiasm and great spirit. Our congratulations must go to Onke Tshiki and Ryan Hogarty who did a superb job in directing the one-act play this year. The involvement and participation by our boarders in backstage, acting, interhouse sport and cheering at sporting fixtures on Saturday mornings is always delightful to watch. For the frrst time in many years we have had a spiritual leader visiting our hostel and meeting on a regular basis with a large group of boys. Stephen van Ryn, Ryan Hogarty and Onke Tshiki must be commended for taking this enormous step and doing great work. In conclusion, there are a number of people I would like to thank for making 2001 an enjoyable year for Littlewood: Mr Shaun Hudson-Benne~t, our senior housemaster who took over the reUls at Silverhurst from Mr Allan Wells halfway through the year, Mr Raoul Moolman then ably took over at Littlewood. These men were all assisted with their duties by the following masters: Messrs Darren Claassens, Daniel Rarnage, Mjchael Wilson, Chris Hooks and Laurence Moolman.

DE WAAL HOUSE Master-in-Charge: MrLKruger

House Captain: Jared Carstensen The Cinderella of the houses, De Waal did not fare well this year, maintaining its average position in ~e competitions by corning third, fourth or fifth With regular predictability. A lack of commitment and enthusiasm on the part of the pupils led to participation problems. . De Waal must be commended, however, on lts spirit when it came to the soccer games. Our team was at its most determined to win but unfortunately lost to Rhodes at the last minule. In a similar vein, our junior and senior hockey teams fought bravely against stronger teams and despite losing in the end, left with a feeling of achievement, having enjoyed this form of tribal warfare fought with bent sticks for possession of a little white ball. Unfortunately, the badminton and atheltics did not fare well at all. The De Waal house one-act play proved that one cannot win on enthusiasm alone, but requires a team effort needing a degree of talent and dedication in preparation!

WynbUI Boys' lU&h School Ma&az1ne 2001 -75 -

One must, however, report that if there was a challenge in some way or other of the school pillars, there would be at least one small group of De Waal members lurking in the background. So aU is not lost-somewhere there must be a fairy godmother!

FOUBmTERM

Teacher-iD-Charge: Mr K Pretorius

Teacher-in-Charge: Mr D Faulds

Coaches: Messrs D Allen, L Kruger, B Sopam, P Kriel, Mrs C Hodgkinson The season started with the Grade 8 meeting. Plenty of boys took part in as many events as possible, but despite this enthusiasm not many eventually chose athletics as a sport. The ne>.'t meeting was Sports Day. We once again reverted to the tradition of having this day on a Friday instead -of a Saturday. Some good performances were achieved by a wide variety of athletes. The surprises of the day were Marco Brown (UlS-800m), Ongesiwe Mekuto (UI4800m) and Richard Fraser (U17-200m). Sports Day was won by Wellulgton for the fUlh consecutive tiIne. Sports Day acted as a trial for the Triangular. It was clear that a lot of hard work had to be put in to make WBHS competitive for this event. The team had extra practices on Wednesday mornings and Saturday afternoons. The result of Triangular was a big disappointment, as it seems that we have gone backwards and not improved since the previous Triangular. Yet agam some athletes rose to the occasion and performed really well: Terry Jacobs (U IS-lOOm), Richard Fraser (U 17-400m) and the performances of Ni ch alas Thackwray. This ended the season for most of the athletes except for those who went to WP Championships. At this meeting Gareth Thomas became the Hammer Throw Champion and Nicholas Thackwray was chosen for the WP team.

Coaches:

Mrs C Hodgkinson (Middle distance), Mr B Sopam (Long and Triple jump), Mr K Pretorius (Hurdles and High jump), Mr D Allen (Shot-put and Hammer throw), Mr L Kruger (Sprints), Mr D Claasen (400m), Mr L Stevens-Burt (PRO and Grade 9), Mr P Kriel (Javelin) The fourth term started slowly, but eventually we had a full tearn of over 40 boys participating m the fmal meetmg of the year. Hostmg the Girls' School at practices and at meetmgs saw at least a few 'roses' amongst the thorns. We participated in a number of meetings (medals in brackets): Strand SprÏl1g Athletics Paul Roos Dream Mile (2 silver, I bronze) Bredasdorp Top 10 (2 silver, 3 bronze) Plumstead Relays (I silver, 2 bronze) SACS Spring Athletics Huguenot High School Invitational (5 gold, 4 silver, 8 bronze) Rondebosch Boys' High School Invitational A N T L

number of achievements must be noted: Thackwray: 52,0 sec 400m [Blues) Jacobs: 11,3 sec lOOm; 23,0 sec 200m lColoursl Johnson: IS,Sm Shot-put [UlS)

Other achievements: K Nash B Napier A Down D Farria-Carrao

Blues, Shot-put Colours, lOOm Colours, High jump Colours,100ml200m

At the end of the fourth term we hosted the 'ThreeWay Challenge' and Interclass relay events. These two are set to become favourites on the calendar ID future. In the Three-Way Challenge the might of the Athletics team, team Hercules, proved to be too much for Littlewood and the Wynbergians. Athletics is a growmg force at Wynberg. We wish the boys going on camp well and look forward to a fresh, positive approach to the Triangular. Wynberc Boys' Hich School Maculnr 2001 -79 -

Wynberg badmlllton remains a force in Cape Town with two teams out of six in tlle super league. These teams ended up second and third in the super league at ilie end of the fLfst rOLLlldof matches, ruld fLfst and third in the second roLLlld. The only team iliat beat our teams in the fLfst rowld was a combined team from the Fish Hoek area. The 1st Team (Mathieu CoquilIon, Paul Geary, Brent McLeod and Gareth Sweeunan) convinclllg1y beat the Fish Hoek team in the second rOLLlldof league and the knockout to establish who would represent the Western Cape at the Top Schools competition. The 2nd Team players (R31nzee Edwards, Darryn McBain, Julian Vincent and Martin Fischer) developed into a strong combination which was only beaten by two oilier schools in ilie super league. The 3rd Team including Keith Nimmo, Angus IJUles, Craig McLeod, Rodney H31Ulsen, Daniel Giles, Richard Coram 31ld Ray van Breda, was only beaten once very narrowly in the fLfst rOLLlld.They still matlaged first place and after promotion to the second league, lost only once in the second rOLLlldto maintain their top position agalllSt mostly other schools' first teams. TIle 4th Team included the reserves from the 3rd Terun and Grant Campbell, Dominic MeuJemans and Michael Collins. They were wlbeaten in the fLfst roLLlld and promoted to the third league where they were beaten once and drew one match to be placed second.

The 200 I season started very well with Mark Geary, the Badminton representative on the Racquet Sports Committee, organising practices on Wednesdays during the first ternl. We ended even better with extra challenges and practices run by Sam Pearson for the Top Schools Tournament in the fourth tenno

Top Schools Tour &Dd Results Wynberg has established itself as the top badminton school in South Africa by winning the Top Schools Trophy for the third time ill three attempts. Our team won convincingly in 1997 and 1998, but could not defend their trophy in 1999 even though the same players were still at school, because the tournament was scheduled during the Final Matric exruns in Johannesburg. The tournament was not played in 2000. The Wynberg Boys' High team and Bergvliet High girls' team drove in the Bergvliet High school bus to Gauteng, leaving at l8hOO on Thursday II th and arriving at 12hOO on Friday 12th October. After a rel<Lxing afternoon and evening 31ld some better sleep than ill the bus, they played at the Alberton Recreation HaH from 08hOO on Saturday morning.

The 5tb Team was unbeaten in the flrst round and promoted to the flfth league where they were beaten once and were placed second. They included the reserves from the 4th Team and Marc Rix, Vaughan Savage, Clement Carr and Anzio AbeIs. The 6th Team including Richard Bolland, Robert de Floren~ Graeme Wepener and Greg Day, who won two and lost two matches in the flrst round and improved to win three and lose one match in the second round to claim second place. Practices have been working well with Sam Pearson helping on Tuesdays and concentration on doubles play has paid off in matches. Many challenges take place on Mondays. Six of the top eight players are in matric and only one Grade Il and one Grade 8 player are available at the moment We need to encourage more Grade 8's and lI's to play and fill the gaps for next season. The five Grade 9's also need extra support. A combined 2nd, 3rd and 4th Team played some very successful matches in the Boland Schools' League, which is played on Saturday afternoons at Stellenbosch. We played the last two rounds of the league on 1st and 5th September, and beat the three top teams in the Top League. The interhouse matches were played al the end of the season and the top players were well spread throughout the houses. The fmal positions were as follows: Van Riebeeck (unbeaten in first place), Wellington (second, with Mathieu CoquilIon wlbeaten al number one), De Waal (third), followed by Rhodes and Littlewood.

PL.lYER CRITIQUE First Super League Team Mathieu CoquiUon was only beaten once in singles in the local league and once at the Top Schools tournament. He had two losses in doubles throughout the season and was unbeaten at the Top Schools with Mark Geary. He was selected as captain of the WP U 18 team but was unable to play. He was unbeaten in the interhouse singles and was awarded Blues for the third year, having played in the super league for the past four years. Mark Geary was unbeaten in singles in the local league, except against Fish Hoek, and was unbeaten at the Top Schools tournament. He had one loss in doubles throughout the season and was unbeaten at the Top Schools with Mathieu Coquilion.

CRICKET With the cricketing world once again having been rocked, this time with allegations of racism. it is only because of the enduring nature of cricket that I sit down to write this report. Match referees, third umpires, TV replays, excessive and belligerent appealing fortunately play no part in Wynberg cricket. In fact, our boys are given a severe dressing-down if they don't 'walk' when they know they are out-a practice long abandoned in any form of professional cricket. Recently during commentary on the 'unofficial third test vs India' a Pretoria school was given a special mention for fielding II cricket tearns--"a fantastic eITort", the corrunentators said. WBHS, once again, fielded 17 tearns in Saturday leagues plus another 4 to S who play in our Internal Astroleague. To field this many tearns is unbelievable and it is a tribute to aU the boys and the coachillg stalT for their hours of dedication. One cannot field this many teams without practice facilities and match pitches being constantly of a high standard-thanks to Chris Haley and his lireless grounds crew for their sterling efforts. When one lists 'tharlk you's' the risk is always that you leave someone out. The following have done so much that I feel justified in running that risk: • All parents for supporting the lads, especially those involved in doing lunches and teas. • All umpires and scorers. • All stalT for thei.r support especially, as mentioned earlier, the coaches. • Wynberg Boys' Junior School for the use of their practice facilities. • USSASA WP Youth Cricket for help with facilities and coaching. • Denys Hobson, Greg Sing, Mike Minnaar and Peter Kirsten for rwm.ing Friday afternoon clinics at various times. • All captains for their dedication.

Out U ISA tearn beat Bishops at Newlands, under lights in the Knockout competition, for the second consecutive year, as well as wiruung 20 out of 22 matches (the other two having been drawn) - a phenomenal performance. lndividual highlights are too numerous to list here but these will be recognised at the Achievers' Dinner or fmal assembly. [t remains for me to wish Mr John Knight every success in taking over this wonderful summer game of ours. As the new Master-in-charge, he will ensure that Wynberg boys continue to strive to be the best and to love this great sport. May Wynberg cricket prosper and grow in strength from year to year.

200 I was a very successful cricket year for WBHS-the Ist Tearn had a particularly successful year winning 22 out of 34 games, a very high wiruung ratio. Our depth is again reflected in that our D, E and F teams are constantly playing schools' and clubs' A and B tearns-and beating them.

The 200 I Ist Xl carl certainly look back on their year with much satisfaction. On paper they did not have players as good as many of the preceding years but they proved that with the right attitude arld discipline many obstacles can be overcome.

The strength of the side was the tightness of the attack, with very few bowlers conceding more than 2,5 runs per over. The batting initially relied heavily on Edwards bul as the season progressed some of the others also stepped up. A pleasing aspect was that two hundreds were made after none last year. The results were very good with the team playing every game to try and win-not to play and try and avoid defeat. There was only one match where we let ourselves down badly and that was against Plumstead. Many of the other defeats could have gone the other way but if you want lo win you must be prepared to lose. There were many highlights. Firstly the tour to Grahamstown where we were able lo beat St Andrews. Then there was a double win over Rondebosch for the fITst time in many years. A fITst win against Hilton College was also achieved. There were also some thrilling finishes against Paarl Gym (McConkey's 7 boundaries in a row), Bergvliet and Queens. In closing, the 2001 1st XI will be remembered as one of the besl teams Wynberg has had, not just for their results but more importantly for the way in which they played. Their behaviour was a credit to the school in a time when many school teams are copying what they see on television. Cricket is a great game but it must be respected at all times-and this team did j ust that. Many thanks to Mr Knowies for his help; Mr and MTs Edwards and the parents for their support and lunches, and Angus Innes for giving almost 300 hours of his time to scoring-there can be few more loyal people in the world.

David Kelly (Colours) Opening Bat David had some good knocks but was unable to build on his first year. A fme team man.

Matthew Olsen (Blues) Off-spin Bowler A fantastic year. Took over SO wickets and some great catches. A greal example of making tbe most of what you have.

Jonathan Watkins-Baker (Colours) Opening Bat Jonathan made a good start to the year but failed to build on it. Hopefully he will make the most of his ftnal year.

Zahid AUie (Blues) Keeper/Batsman Zahid's keeping improved greatly in the fourth term. Has a lot of potential with the bat but must still learn 10 construct his innings.

Devin Stanton (Colours) AURounder Devin is a much improved player. As he starts to ba.ck himself more he will become a big force. Has the ability to go a long way.

Craig Baley (Colours) AURounder Craig bowled some fme spells. When he gets his shape he is almost unplayable. Could take a lol of wickets next year but must still learn 10 play as part ofa team.

Wonga Matshabane (Colours) Left-hand Spinner After a terrible start lo the year he finished strong with 20 wickets in his fmal five games. The challenge is to build on this.

Opening BatlLeg

Khaalid is a fine team player but failed to establish himself Must learn lo be more consistent

Warren Edwards (Honours) AURounder A top all rounder. Performed well with bat and ball, also took some stunning catches. A good captain who always led from tbe front. Will be an asset to any club he joins.

Julian van Heerden (Colours) Opening Bat Julian can play some wonderful shots but must learn to play straighter for longer. His concentration is very poor.

Marc de Beer (Blues) All Rounder

Marc Richards

A very good all rounder and a great 'death' bowler. He never really realised his potential with tbe bat but hopefully he will do so at club level.

Opening Bat

Marc forced his way in by scoring a mass of runs for the 2nd Team. He has ability to occupy the crease but must be more physically assertive.

Matthew McConkey (Colours) All Rounder

Dominic Telo

Although Matthew was a hit and miss cricketer he played some vital knocks (paarl Gym, SACS) and took some vital wickets. A good team man.

Despite the dismptions the team did pretty well, losing only 3 close matches out of 12 and having the satisfaction of avenging a urst term defeat to Bishops. No single player really stood out this year and the side owes its !>llccessto an all-round elTort from everybody who played.

and the names of Majikija, Haupt, Davids, Posthumus, R.ichards and Mat.shabane inunediately come to mind. TIus does not detract from the fact that everybody played a key role in the team. Some of our matrics decided to concentrate on academics during the fourth lenn and we are grateful to BinedeIJ, Posthwnus, Davids, M Haupt and Kleu for conunitting themselves and staying loyal to the team (and cricket) when the too could so easily have used 'studying' as a reason to stop playing.

However, in fue fourth term, once Olis side had effectively moved up a league and after a long break from cricket, they strugg.led to play togeOler as well as Oley did before and as a result they didn't really perfonn well as a team until Oleir last match. However, Olere were still some very good individual perfonnances. There were five wicket hauls b Sheldon Labuschagne and Michael Ellis as well as some very good and aggressive bowling by Dean Oostewyk. On Ole batting front, Dean Oostewyk and Sheldon Labuschagne ollen helped out wiOl some very effective knocks doW1l Ole order, which also led to Sheldon Labuschagne scoring Ole only 50 of Ole tenno I would just like to thank Tyrone Uo d for leading Ole team so effectively through Ole year and I feel Olat special mention should be made of him, William olomon and Matthew Sten1e who \\-ere tile only players to play in every single match.

Firstly, they had an anlazi.ng team spirit and secondly, like any good Wynberg side Oley did not know how to slOp lighting.

bowling, Ninuno showed great promise and together with Alwyn formed a reliable opening new ball pair that I am sure wijl reap the rewards next term. Although the results didn't go our way, the energy and willingness to improve made these boys a pleasure to coach. Team spirit was always good and we look forward to 2002.

5th and 6th XI CRICKET Coacb: MrR Tipper There are some cricketers at WBHS for whom winni.ng matches is not as important as playing the game with enthusiasm, obvious enjoyment and in a spirit of true camaraderie. This can certainly be said of the 'Fighting Fifths' and 'Stoical Sixths'. This is not to say that they weren't motivated to win, didn't try hard or gave up when trungs looked bleak. On the contrary, what impressed me most was when the wickets were down (and this was rather frequently), the heads were still up. Practices were lively and many players were diligent in their efforts lo improve their skills and technique. So, if there's nothing significant to report as far as matches and results are concerned, what then stands out? • Chris Carneron-Dow's delight when taking a wicket, • Tim Scholtz's Wlfailing determination to improve his batting lechnique (and breaking his bat in the process!), • Gavin Wilsnach's speedy runups and not-sospeedy deliveries and his unorthodox battiJlg style (very effective at times!), • Dale van Leevc's ''Nooit, I don't bowl wides!" four wides in one over, and his entertaining Indian commentary, • Adam van Willingh's consistently good line and length and his solid hitting 44 against Westerford, • Elias Fakir's text book forward defensive shot, • Admn Johnson 's wild deliveries, • Daniel Wright's verbal deliveries in the nets, • Siviwe Mxube's 'Jonty Rhodes-like' running between the wickets, • Dean Taylor's happy-go-lucky batting, • Keith Nimmo's fluid bowling action, • Albern Williams' improvement as an all-rounder, • Andrew Green's confidence and willingness always to open the balling, • Peter Meyer's reliable wicket keeping and dignified captaincy, • Justin Arendse's sensible and almost-match-

winning 46 against Westerford, • Justin king's catches against Fairbairn mld SACS, • Eugene Vanqa's 'photogenic finishing', • Lundi 'Shabash' Tsotso's five-Coke spin in the nets (and full tosses in matches I), • Mark Schreiber's left hooks, • Craig Muller's batting potenlial (but lack of selfconfidence ), • Mlshal Gabier's all-round potential, • Gustavo Luiz's quiet determination and accurate bowling, • Yusuf Hartley' s unrealised talent, • Darren WeInlllll's 'agricultural' shots at net practice, • Sipiwe Sunduza's right arm all-over-the-place, • Gavin Stuart-Williams' competitiveness, • Hamsa Abrahams' stylish stroke play, and • Chancy Cooke's comeback. Hopefully, the boys will savour the added satisfaction of notching up a couple of wins wlder the belt! The following players were promoled to the 4th Tearn in the fourth term: Stuart-Williams, Meyer, Green, Nimmo, Cook, Luiz, Abrallams, Gabier and Williams.

To have failed only twice in the year to bowl out the opposition, this tearn has done something I have not witnessed before. So, this exceptional record does justice to the performance of this talented bunch of cricketers. The highlights of the year were three very convincing wins over Bishops, one in the fmal of the

In most grunes wc tried to bat flrst, thus taking the initiative U] the game and giving our batsmen every chance of scoring a lot of runs. In the first term we ollen lost the toss, resultulg in some early finishes but probability had its say (or was it the change m captaul?) towards the end of the ear. As captain, Dominic Telo increased in confidence as the season went on. I lis knowledge of the game is good and he certainly led by example. He thoroughly deserved his elevatioll to the 1st Xl as well as his election as captaill of the Westem Provulce IJ 15 team. Congratulations are also due to Courtney Chase, JONI Williruns and Richard Levi 011 their selection for this team which will pia in the PG Bison week in December. These four each had good perfonnances \\~th both bal and ball. Richard Levi toppmg the batting, while Courtney Chase was the leading all-rounder and John Williams bowled with plenly of aggression at vital stages of some matches. There were also several other players who UI any other year would have had strong claims for provincial recognition.

Marco Brown proved himself lo be a very talenled all-round cricketer, Ridaar Kafaar opened the bowling for us regularly with genuine pace and there cannol have been a more successful spmner than Karl-Heinz Ehrenreich in Under 15 cricket this year. His 53 wickets costing roughly seven runs each' Rhel1 Halk:ett developed mlo a most effective wicket-keeper batsman who was improving all the time. We were luck]' to have two lefl-handers Ul Lloyd Norris-Jones and Dudu Nrumands, both of whom were happiest when oJX.'Iling the batting. Lloyd, in particular, liked to get on \~th it and provided the perfect foil for Matthew Korung whose century against Pinelands was most unpressive Ganief Berdien was possibly the most unproved player, his off-spm and positive batting coming ill very useful towards the cnd of the season. [fthis team had a weakness it was in the shortage of a really high class attaching leg-spiruler. Logan Rrett-Broadley was the most successful incwnbent of this position. Rostill Wessels has a lot of potential. He crune to Potchefstroom but failed to bowl \~th consistency.

Overall, this was a very rewarding team to coach. Morale was usually high and they always appeared to be enjoying their cricket Rarely were they tested enough to prove how good they might have been. Bowling a side out when they are not interested in playing shots is one of the hardest parts of the game. This is when the art of captaincy is tested. We had strong support from parents and we owe a big debt of thanks to all, and especially the Telos, for their organising of the catering for OUI home games. Thanks, also, to Fanafana Mballda who scored for the team throughout the year and to the ground stalT for the preparation of the pitch. Every member of this team has the ability to shine at a higher level-but places ill the top sides nex't year will be keenly contested. I wish them all the best in senior cricket The futUIe of WBHS cricket should be in very good hands.

As can be seen from the results, the team had a very successful year, \\iÏ.nning 10 malches and only losing once, to Rondebosch. Although as a team it's nice to win easily, this would have been frustrating for many of the batsmen, particularly in the first term, as they had few opportunities to bat for any length of time. Ganief Berdien had an average of 75 in 7 innings in the ftrst term, and fully deserved his promotion to the A team in the fourth term. Rodney Hanssen (230 runs in 8 ilUungs, average 46) and Stuart Plimsoll (229 runs in 10 innings, average 23) were reasonably consistent. The spirulers picked up the bulk of the wickets in the first teml, while the searners carried the attack in the fourth term. This was a talented team and there are several players who would have played in the A team in other years, and who certainly would have made the A team of several of the schools against which they played.

UtHC CRICKET Coacb: Mr R Lawrence Captain: J Robinson Team: E Davis, C Ellis, R Lawson, F Beltial1:Un, R Pullen, D Peters, N Mouton, R Kriedemanll, T lsaacs, M Darsey, M Johnson, R Williams The UlSC is a team of note-not only is it full of talent but full of characters too. Losing only one game to Rondebosch, they showed skill and dedication with ball and bat to outclass all other opposlhon. Memorable performances came from Jonty Robinson laking three five wicket hauls with an average under five and EtielU1eDavis as wicketkeeper. He perfonned with the bat too, producing match saving innings allea:;t three times! But all members of the team played outstanding cricket at some point during the season with catches being held and tile standard of fielding from all was consistently high. It was encouraging to see fueir hard work payoff in practice as every player's level of cricket improved as the season went on and their highly competitive nature allowed them to do this.

The first year of cricket al Wynberg Boys' High is never easy. Havmg come from junior school as a senior bo witll an established reputation, these boys suddenly arrive al Wynberg as Olle of many talented cricketers. Wynberg, in comparison witll tlle other boys' schools. also has a very diverse intake, which means tllat tlle U l4A cricket side generally contains boys from at least six or seven difTerent schools, ratller tl1an relying on one particular feeder sehool. These boys, therefore, have to compete for places, establish tilemselves as indIvidual cricketers in a short time span, leanl the traditIOns and expectations ofWytlberg cricket and at tlle same bme gel to know new faces and gc) as a tearn! TIUs is no easy task. It is tllerefore crucial that the success of an U 14A team be measured on what steps or processes have been put in place tllal will enable the team lo function successfully as a unit and as individuals in the future at Wynberg. Results (i.e. winning) are obviously important lo the boys and lo the school, however our focus al Wynberg is placed more on ensuring that tlle basics of tlle game are established, practised and then close to mastered b tile end of tlle season.

In the bowling department the I]14A team still had a way to go in terms of expected development. The team was blessed with several quality bowlers: Topley and Mekuto will develop into top class strike bowlers-the speed at which they develop will be determined on how quickly they can learn to bowl wicket to wicket, bowl to their field and try to pressure batsmen; the spin duo of Main and Vann was extremely effective at times, mostly when both were able to settle on a tight line and length; Siboto was all intelligent swing bowler who was rewarded for bowling a consistent line and length. Special bowling perfomlallCeSincluded: Mekuto 6-12 vs Paarl Gym, 5-44 Paarl Boys' Siboto 4-19 vs Rondebosch; 3-29 vs SACS Main 4-17 vs Pinelands, 5-8 vs United Vann 5-9 vs Pinelands Topley 3-12 vs Westerford lo the bowling department the team was certainly inconsistent. This may have had something to do with regularly rotating the batting order. However, in my opinion, batters were too allen prepared to play loose shots too early on in their innings. Occupying the crease as a batsman is one of the most important lessons for all U 14 cncketer-alld those boys who were prepared to occupy the crease (patience mixed with aggression) were rewarded more often thall not with runs. This side was not short of batting talent and it bodes well for the future that all I I of them were competent batsmen. As they grow physically, a nwnber of the smaller boys with sowld teclmique will no doubt score more freely. These boys must trust their teclmiques and be patient with regard to physical maturation. Special perfonnances with the bat during the season included: Siboto 57 vs Pinelallds Loxton 31· vs SACS, 42 vs United, 55 vs Paarl, 35 vs Rondebosch Main 39 vs Paarl. 69· vs Un.ited, 44 vs Bishops, 85 vs Westerford Mekuto 10I· vs Bishops, 27 vs Rondebosch Larsen 33 vs SACS, 31 vs Pinelands Dasneves 79 vs Westerford Badham-TIlOmhill 54 vs Westerford lo the fielding department there is still a lot for these boys to leam. What was pleasing, U10Ugh,was the level of improvement in all aspects of fielding, from the fITstto the fourth tenno The fielding seemed to improve as the team became more familiar with one another and as they operated more as a unit. An exciting aspect of the fourth term was the 'discovery' of Mattllew Dasneves as a wicket-

keeper. With quick hands and feet, he certainly has the potential to make it to the top in this position. AU in all, it has been a pleasure coaching this team. Besides the natural talent and skill which these boys possess as individuals, they also showed a willingness to put in extra hours of practise to improve every week, which is wonderful. The team was well led by Tom Main and Guy Loxton Utroughout the season. In closing, I would like to thank the following who helped the team in different ways during the year: • Mr Lefson, for his support. • Mr Knowies, for his time and the effort he put into developing these boys, especially on Fridays! • The parents, for their support. • 'Jugs', for his enthusiasm alld tenacity.

Captain: S Messham Team: T Ely, 0 Ekerold, KNoId, M Schonfrucht, W Schluter, M Watkins-Baker, J Donaldson, D Matfield, N Camagu, P Sampson, B Flyrm The game of cricket involves so many long hours spent in the boiling hot sun, sometimes toiling away laboriously with the bat or ball, and other times standing around in the field. Two factors contribute to making this scenario an enjoyable occasion: the fITst is an extreme passion for the game and the second must be the desire to succeed. That cricket is a 'tcrun' game is sometimes difficult to comprehend, but to those who understand the game, it is so obvious and so crucial in order to achieve a positive result. This particular tealn somehow failed to recognise the importance of cricket as a team sport. Individuals performed admirably at times, but too ollen it would appear that they preferred to put each other ahead of the team--a railier selfish approach. How often did I hear, "When am I going to bowl?" or "Can I bat at nwnber four?'" Listening to advice and trying to improve one's contribution is one iliing, but iliere is no place for negative comments or ilie "I know it all" attitude. Our strengili lay in our bowling attack., which was boili varied aJld generally reasonably accurate. Most of ilie time we were able to bowl sides out, or

at least come very close to achieving this. If there was a weakness in this department, it was in our ability to always bowl to the field placings and a sometimes noticeable desire of the quicker bowlers to try and bowl too quickly at the expense of accuracy and consistency. Batting was our downfalL Teclmically correct players were just not able to put together big partnerships and inevitably we always struggled to achieve a total of 100. 1 maintai.n that this is not a critical issue at this stage. There are a nwnber of players who have the lnakings of becoming really accomplished batsmen, and I have no doubt that when they eventually mature and develop physically, they will make the grade in this department The tearn was ably captained by Scan Messham. Leading rwlS scorers were D Ekerold (47 against Cape Town CC), M Watkins-Baker (40 against Rondebosch), N Camagu (39 against Bishops), W Schluter (31 n.o. against Rylands CC). In the bowling department, tbe main contributiollS were provided from S Messham (4 for 28 against Rondebosch), N Camagu (4 for 27 agaulst Rylands CC), B Flyrm (5 for 39 agamst Bishops), M Schonfrucht (4 for 40 against Paarl Boys' High) and W Schluter (4 for 14 against Victoria CC). The highlight of the year must surely nave been UIe one-wicket win over Bishops in the Ilfst term. In closing, 1 wish to tllank in particular Mr and Mrs Messham for so ably helping with the transport during the year and to Mr Schluter for assisting with UIe wnpiring. A word of thanks to al.! the other parents for supporting their sons during the year. Thanks, also, to Mr Knowies and Mr Knight (fourth tenn) in their capacity as masters-in-charge of cricket.

Attack was Ule watchword for Ule side, wheUler bowling or batting. TIle result of tIlis was that sixes and fours

were the order of Ule day, particularly on our home ground, the Cabbage Patch. This field probably had a lot to do witIl the way tIle team played tIleir cricket-Ulere was no use waiting for bad balls to hit because you would probably get out before that happened. RatIler look to hit boundaries on the rather invitingly short square boundaries. Searching for lost balls was also very much part of the game on the Cabbage Patch. We ended up winning about 50% of our matches. The highlights of tbe season were the fourth term victory against Paarl Boys after losing hopelessl to tIlem in tIle first term, beating a strong Bishops team in tIle first tenn, and reversing tIle ftrst term loss against WPCC, which turned out to be an excellent way of ending the season. Some individual highlights were tIle spin bowling of Robyn Triegaardt and Mattllew WatkinsBaker, who botIl proved to be very consistent, while Waseem's imlings against Rondebosch wiU long be remembered. On tIle fumly side, Riaan and Chris will be remembered for bowling balls over tIle keeper's head and for some of our batsmen rewriting tIle coaching manual.

This boosted our confidencc and team spirit but it didn't help because we lost tIle remainder of our games. During Ulat time we practised hard and that would prove to be worthwhile in tIle second season.

Players were also rewarded for their consistent performances culJninating UI the promotion of Seth Brumer and Michael Royeppen being promoted to the U 14C squad.

'Normal' cricket matches were still played against fairly strong terullS from Bishops, SACS and Westerford, but the clunax of the season was an Astro game agaulst a Bergvliet U 15 side which was made up of five girls and six boys.

The Hockey Corrunittee, under the chairmanship of Matthew McConkey, were full of ideas and enthusiasm. In particular, Brandon Smith did an excellent job of the umpiring portfolio, and he umpired at the U 14 interprovincial tournament, where he was rated as the best umpire. My very sincere thanks to all those folk who have helped ensure that Wynberg remains one of the top hockey schools in the country: • The coaches, for their time and enthusiasm. • Mr Haley and the grounds staff. • Mrs Haley and all the mams (and dads) who assisted with the tuckshop. • The many parents who assisted with transport and who took an interest in thei.r sons' hockey. • The Hockey Committee (Matthew McConkey, Grant Downing, Brandon Smith, Michael Ellis, Zeno Rossouw).

Several members of stafr were also involved in the provincial tearns: Mr Revington coached the WP UI8A's, Mr Wells the UI8B's and Mr Faulds was the manager of the U 16A team. In the knockout tournaments, Wynberg again did extremely well. The 1st Team lost to Pinelands in the semi-finals, but the U16A's beat Bishops 5-0 in the fmal, while the UI4A's won their trophy by beating the more fancied Pinelands team 3-1 in the final. As a measure of the success of the season, from a purely results point of view, it is always worth seeing how the club as a \I/hole fared against our traditional rivals:

Coach: Mr PRevington Captain: M McConkey 200 I proved a reasonably tough and demanding season for everybody involved with the U 19A hockey learn. Expectations to succeed were placed quickly onto the shoulders of a yOW1g and inexperienced group of boys who at times struggled with this pressure. It is never easy following in the footsteps of an outstanding Ist Xl such as that of 2000, and I feel that too many of our 200 I team expected results to simply go their wa -especially in the fust hal f of the season. Although the winlloss ratio of this team still reflects a good degree of dominance. they would no doubt be disappointed with their performances as a team in the 'big games' of the season. Too often in these big gmnes the tearn could not sustain long periods of dominance and were either punished for unnecessary errors or failed to convert chances when the opposition were on the back foot.

Teclmically the individual players in the squad were not at the level required to dominate skilful and experienced opposition. In big games the abibty to manipulate small spaces and eliminate players reqillres a high level of skill-skill which ultimately needs to be well-developed before reaching U 18 level. This lack of skill has a lot to do with the fact that hockey, like any other sport, is a matter of process. Before you can think of competing at a high level and start focusing on 'results' - certain skills and teclmical aspects of the game need to be developed and/or mastered In hindsight, I feel that our young 200 I team operated in an envirorunent that demanded results before process. But despite aU the tough moments, the 200 I season certainly delivered many enjoyable moments and games that 1 will always cherish.

It was not a good season for the 4th Team as most sides we played against were higher tearns because so few schools field four senior teams. Unfortunately a number of matches were cancelled owing to schools not pitching up or not having enough players at the last minute. With the assistance of coach Stuart Grainger, fitness became a priority, and skills were imbedded religiously. Our team played on Astro more often than before and thoroughly enjoyed these practices and games. This team must be awarded the team spirit and perseverance prizes!

The track record of this team is shown in the results. They played "vith a tremendously detennined competiti ve edge, yet knew that winning was not everything. They took great pride in overturning the only loss in the second term against Bishops by beating them in the third term. The other loss was against Paul Roos in llie third term. It was most encouraging to see how Stuart's innovative coaching techniques (which were often modified by some of those on the receiving end at practices) paid off in matches, for example, the ability not only to get the ball into the opponents' circle, but also to hit the ball into the goals. Stuart emphasised fitness and it was often in the second half that we were able to dominate because of superior fitness. I am most grateful to the group of parents for their tremendous support through the season. Particular praise is due to the captain, Paul van Nimwegen, who despite being injured for a number of games, still came out to support his side. Well done!

beyond his years, and \\'as always in control. He also scored 15 goals. Craig Ellis was as reliable as ever at left half, with intelligence and technique making up for pace. Jason Prudhomrne, centre back, played with composure and showed genuine skill. Alexi GrammenopouIas was the ideal right half-a good defender with altacking flair. The three links were outstanding: Grant Hawk:ins' distribution got betier and better at left link; Jonty Robinson, centre link, had very few opponents to match him for strength and skill, and Etienne Davis at right link always seemed to be wunarked, a skill which is very difficult to coach. Farrcll Benjamin was unselfish at right wing, and lethal in setting up goals, as well as scoring IS himself. Vaughn Erasmus, a specialist left wing, scored 17 goals and ensured that the tearn had as many attacking options on the left as on the right Stuart Plimsoll played quite a few games, and was composed and unhurried, distributing well. Phillip Haupt came in to the tearn late in the season but showed versatility and flair and was, in retrospect, unlucky not to have been part of the team for the whole season. David Hendricks played several matches before his season was disrupted by illness. Memorable matches were those against Grey High School in Port Elizabeth (2-1), Pinelands (1-0) and, of course, the fmal of the knockout competition.

players listed above represented the A team, five of them playing several matches at this higher level. All the players were well-motivated and exceptionally keen to give of their best. Practices were well attended and everyone worked hard to improve their level of fitness and their degree of skill. The players were all well rewarded for their efforts and it was indeed a pleasure lo coach this side. My sincere thanks are extended to the parents for their support and cooperation and to Mr Allan Wells, the A team coach, who was al\\'llys generous in giving of his time and expertise to all A and B tearn players. His departure for the UK will certainly leave a gap in the coaching of hockey at Wynberg.

Player Proftles Paulo Innocenzi (Goalkeeper) Paulo proved to be very solid at the back of a competent team and using good technique, made many valuable saves. He is a good team man and a dedicated player. Justin Arendse (Right Half) Justin made the right half position his own and proved equally good on attack as he was in defence. He is a talented player wbo did not always give of his best at practice.

Terence Mentor (Left Half) In my opinion, definitely the most improved player in this team.

The season started off very well. The team came together quickly and started to play some excellent hockey. They had an impressive record of 5 wins, 1 loss and 4 draws. One of the highlights of the season was the tour to Grey High in Port Elizabeth. They also really enjoyed the few Astro games they played. Overall, the season was very good and the team had a lot of fun.

Robert Smyly (Utility LinklHalf) Another player who came in to the team as illness and injury took their toll. A keener and more enthusiastic team member one could not wish [or.

Philip Haupt (Right Wing) Although Philip represented the A team on several occasions, be was probably the most unlucky player not to hold a pennanent position there. Arguably the most skilful player in the B side, he scored 16 goals in 13 matches and was responsible for setting up many more.

Storme Wilson (Centre Forward) Storme is another player in this team with tremendous potential. He is a big, strong boy with great pace when he turns it on. Running at centre forward he is very difficult to stop as he runs with the ball on bis right foot and turns weU on the ball to retain possession.

Dadier AbduUah (Left Wing) Here was a player who pleasantly surprised me as the season progressed, with his tenacity and strong will. Technically, not the strongest of players, Badier realised his individual limitations and developed into a more than useful team member.

The U16E was a team comprised o[ only Grade 9 boys. We were fortunate to be able to use the Astro once a week and even had a match there. The two outstanding features of this year were, fIrstly, the amazing keenness of the players, always wanting extra matcbes and never missing practices. The second was the skill level of the players. I have never seen an E team with such talent-they stood their ground in all their matches, even though most were against A teams. I hope the players continue with the sport because they have a lot to offer. Clearly with this depth, Wynberg hockey has a very bright few years ahead.

mentioned. Warren Schluter was a good captain, as well as ultimately a very successful centre striker. His leadership and support were very much appreciated by the team and the coach. Richard Levi in goals improved tremendously during the season having come in as a beginner. Matthew Edwards, Richard Vincent, Malusi Siboto and Brett Cox were consistently impressive during the season. The team also benefited tremendously from the additional coaching of Wayne Denne, and we thank. Mr Rushby for making this available and Wayne for his availability. The team put Wayne's ideas and value system about the game to good use and saw this in their improved results during the season. Players to watch in the future would be those who have represented their province, as well as Keenan Topley who perhaps could be considered unlucky not to have made a representative team this year. The most improved players during the year are undoubtedly Morgan Goodchild (who came up from the C tearn), Keenan Topley and Richard Levi. On a personal leve~ as coach Ican honestly say that Ienjoyed working with this team tremendously. What they put in they certainly have received back. I look forward to working with these boys again in the future and wish them well in their hockey careers.

Their indomitable spirit combined with a willingness to play disciplined basic hockey took them all the way to the top of UI4 hockey in the Western Province during the 200 I season. Often outsized by larger opposition, the tearn had to make use of skill and guile, as well as the ability to stick to a game plan, to overcome difficult odds. Afler a shaky start to the season at the Milnerton festival, where the team finished fourth, a fmal squad of players was selected to continue as the Ul4A team. The away trip to Grey High in Port Elizabeth proved to be a turning point in the season for this team. Being 2-0 down with five minutes to play and a penalty stroke awarded in your favour, you should not be losing a match 4-0. The positive attitude shown by the boys afler this thrashing was remarkable. The willingness to learn, become harder and fitter, as well as the desire to 'never lose again' saw the tearn losing only once after this. On a provincial level the team produced five representatives. Warren Schluter and Matthew Edwards represented the Western province UI4A team, while Malusi Siboto, Brett Cox and Richard Venter represented the Western Province UI4B team-\'lith Richard Vincent being the captain of that tearn. The relative strength of the Grey side that beat us 4-0 can be highlighted by the fact that they had eight boys in the EP side that \Von the UI4 tournament held at WBHS. The most memorable occasions of the season were surely the knockout final against Pinelands, the knockout quarter-final against Rondebosch and the return match in the third term against Bishops. To win these three matches the boys gave all they could and applied what was not the prettiest hockey to watch-but match winning, basic hockey principles.

progressed. A number of players were rightly promoted to the B tearn at various stages of the winter, namely Joseph Donaldson and Daniel Ekerold, with Morgan Goodchild and Keenan Topley working their way right up to the A side. The only two games lost were to sides in a league above them, namely 0-2 to Rondebosch UI3A tearn and 3-5 to the SACS UI4B side. Their best win was undoubtedly the 5-0 drubbing of Grey High School in Port Elizabeth. O'Reilly at centre forward and Corben Alexander (left wing) were the top goal scorers with nine goals apiece, and Stephen Makin did a superb job as goalkeeper. Other goal scorers were Travis Wilson (2), Devon van Breda (2), Michael Gombart, Michael Holt, Gareth Maggs, Murray Paulsen and Scan van Doom.

Many matches were planned but were usually cancelled by the opposition. This was a bit disheartening. In the end the boys were supportive and attended all the practices. Hockey certainly taught them a few extra skills for life!

At the end of the 2000 season the rugby coaches decided that Wynberg rugby should move away from its outdated, forward-dominated and conservative style and we all adopted a new philosophy. We agreed that we were going to run the ball no matter what. that we were going to remove kicking from our game and that wc were going to play ml enterprising ball-in-hand game. We also decided that to achieve this we would have to ignore results for a while and rather concentrate on the way we played the game. Our new approach was given a big boost because Wynberg

it had the backing of our headmaster, who took it a step further by appointing Mr BaSIl Bey to our staff, as Director of Coaching. lltis style of rugb is what has made Mr Bey fmnous and he was therefore a great asset to our coachillg staff. The players loved him because he was always positive. always praised and a1wa s encouraged the players to try new things. But most of all, Mr He, got the coaches to release the shackles and allow the players to express themselves on the field ~ithout the fear of being shouted at. Wc would like to thank him for his invaluable contribution.

Boys' HIgh School Magazine 2001 - 107-

As expected, many teruns struggled results-wise, but most players eagerly adopted the new pattern. The 1st XV need to be complimented not only on the style of rugby they played, but also on th.eir results. The highlight of the season was their 70 point win against SACS and their victory against Paul Roos. The Ist XV became the model for other tearns to follow. However, UIe rest of the school improved as the season progressed, skills got better and as their confidence grew, so their willingness to run the ball. The 16A and 17A teams need to be complimented on the improvement that they showed. A problem area that was identified was the lack of fitness and physical strength of our jwuor players. Although they had the skill they were outgunned physically. This is an aspect that the school is addressing for the 2002 season. The season also saw the introduction of a rugby camp for all the players. They stayed UI the hostel overnight and the two days were used to ultroduce the players to the new style and the skills needed to play il. The rugby evelUng at False Bay and the U 15 sevens tournament were held as in tile past. TIley both remain popular events on our rugby calendar. This season also saw the introduction of a R50 000 sponsorship (rom FNB for our two 'Classic Clashes' with SACS. The following thanks need to be made: • The statT for all their coaching efforts. • Mr Pretorius for organisuIg the annual rugby evening at False Bay. • Mr Alan Gerber for organising the refs. • Mr Hudson-Bemlett and his team of first-aiders for providing a service every Saturday moming. • Mr Knowies for doing all the administralion. • Mr Haley for looking afier the fields. • Mr and Mrs Lloyd for rwming the tuckshop. • FNB for their generous sponsorship. • The student coaches for UIe enornlOUS effort Uley put ill.

1st XV RUGBY Coaches: Mr P van Schalkwyk and Mr P J Kriel Perhaps the most significant change to have happened to Wynberg rugby in recent ears wa~ brought about by the arrival of Basil Bey with his philosophy of runnmg rugby. There is no doubt that Wynberg has always had the talent but the catalyst was lrussmg. It required a combination of determination in the face of adversity, discipline, dedication, belief and colrunitment before the flrst results were seen but once that happened there was

no looking back. The will to TW1 the ball was great but much work had to go into mastering the basics before the boys gained the confidence to make their own decisions on the field. Once this point was reached individual skills started coming to tile fore and some spectacular rugby was seen. The tries scored by Craig KIeu, David 'Klippers' KeUy, Warren Edwards, Justin Lashbrooke and TOlnmy's tackle against Landbou are but a few examples of this. The impact of these mdividual skills would have been lost had the boys not played open 15-man rugby. Rwming off the ball is ofien more important than carrying the ball because it creates tile space required to move the ball. The boys soon began to learn this and some spectacular team efforts were witnessed.. llle unbeaten Cape Schools Week tour vs Selborne, Queens and Dale underlined the boys' ability to play together as a tcam, while the fixtures against Huguenot, Paul Roos, Villagers and Oakdale showed that running rugby works against the best m the COWltry. The first match against SACS, however, had to be the highlight of the season where the 15-man philosophy provided a displa of rugby that will long be remembered. Testimony to the brand of rugby played by the terun this season was the nwnbcr of discernmg old boys who came to support on Saturday momulgs. None of these results would have been achieved without tile use of a disciplined squad stmcture where all 30 players were coached accordulg to the same principles. This direeUy contributed towards the unprovement in the skill level and enjoyment of cach player. No report would be complete witilout a sUlcere vote of Ulanks to a dedicated parent support bodythe WBHS OSFG (Wynberg Boys' High School Dedicated Supported Focus Group) led by Arthur Wheat and his Saturday moming fitness work out up and dOWll the touchline. TIlc value of the time, effort and support put in by many of the parents this sea~on was constanU noticeu and appreciated b the players and coaches alike. Last, but not least, a sincere thanks to all tile players for embracing this season's new approach resultulg in a most enjoyable season. Juslin van Winkel, Warren Edwards, Scott Forrest and Alan Mans must be commended for their leadership throughout the season.

PLAYER GRmQUE Justin van Winkel (70 caps, Honours, Hooker) Excellent all-round rugby player. He has worked hard on his game and it showed. Strong on attack and defence, powerful scrununager, excellent in the loose and tight loose and outstanding with his lineout throwing. Outstanding captain who led from the front. Proved himself to be one of the better hookers at this year's Craven Week. Bright futw-e lies ahead for him.

broken play but needs to conunit himself to more of the tight phase work. Good lÏJ1eout jumper and solid scrurnmager-fearless tackler. Great tearn ma.n who never gave up.

Gareth Wheat (24 caps, Lock) The unswIg hero of the 2001 pack who quietly yet efficiently went about his business of doing the donkey work. Powerful scrummager who never gave up a.nd never let the team down. Excellent discipline and 100% loyalty. Great team ma.n.

Gareth Thomas (46 caps, Blues, Tight head prop) Excellent scrummager, yet mobile enough to move around although not always as fit as he could have been. His good hands and good feel for the game ollen caught the opponents unaware. Great tearn man who deservedly gained WPt J 18 colours.

Aidan Willjams (16 caps, 8th Man/loose fornard)

Herbert Mayosi (38 caps, Blues, Loose head prop)

was the fust real match of the season. Dominated the game for phases at a time only to concede points [rom our 0\\<11mistakes. A powerful Allies team that deserved to win but did not have it all their own wa . Players took heart from this moral victory. Penalties by Edwards. Grey Bloemfontein (Jost 8-22) Great game highlighted by a superb David Kelly try. A very talented Grey team who carried the ball skilfuBy. Wynberg scrwruned well and put Urey under enonnous pressure. Score could have been dilTerent if KeUy had grounded the ball when going over for a dillicult try. Exciting game which Wynberg could have won. Try by KeUy and penalty by Edwards. Pretoria Boys' High (lost 5-16) A very lough, bruising encowlter where the Wynberg scrum dominated proceedings and bodies were put on UIe line. Pretoria had never beaten Wynberg before and were detennined to do it on Uleir centenary. Pretoria rate Uus as their best side in a long time, and they had to puB out all the stops to beat Wynberg in a hard fought battle where both sIdes left the field with pride intact. Try by KIeu. Drostdy (away-won 17-11) Drostdy awa is always a very tough game ruld this year was no exception. Wynberg weathered a red storm for the first half. tackling like demons but the second half was a dilTerent story. The ball in hruull n111 from rulywhere plulosophy kicked in ruld two tries [rom Kieu (one a real beauty) and one from Denton eventuali downed Drostdy to register a good win for Wynberg.

CAPE SCHOOLS WEEK A wonderful Cape Schools Week was held this year at Bolruld Landbou and Wynberg played superb rugby to emerge unbeaten against Selbome, Queens' and Dale. Selborne College (won 10-9) A nervous game that was won in the dying seconds with a penalty by Edwards after a superb passage of play starting at the Wynberg line and ending in a disallowed try taken back for a penalty on the 22m line. At times Wynberg looked threatening ruld were eventually re\ arded with a superb Kelly try that did a lot to boost confidence levels. W}'11berg'S pack was in control most of the time aIld Uie win was well deserved even though a late try by Selbome looked set to seal it for the East Londoners. A most rewarding result! Phew!

Queen's ColJege (won 29-7) Arguably Wynberg's best performance to date against a Queen's team brimming with talent and flair. The Wynberg pack was rampruIt ruld interplay between the forwards ruld the backs was the order of the day ruld some superb rwming was displayed, resulting in a few fine tries. The Queen's team is to be commended on their style of mgby and their superb sportsmanship. Tries by Van Winkel (2), Kieu, Lauri ruld C. Williruns and a conversion by Denton. Dale College (won Il-lO) A tough game riddled by mistakes that produced some good rugby in the end. Dale, Uke Queen's, was fuU of fWmiug and Wynberg's defence was tcsted time and again but held long enough for the forwards to tum over a great deal of possession ruld score the Willll.lllg tries. Had Wynberg not made so many mistakes, UIe score would have been considerably higher. Tries b Kelly, Kieu ruld Lashbrooke WiUl two conversions ruld a penalt by Leask. Rondebosch (home-lost 14-18) A match of two halves that W}'1lberg should havc won had they played properly [rom the start. Rondebosch started at a cracking pace, coring fITst ruld placlllg Wynberg under pressure Ulat saw Wynberg lead for the flrst time deep into the second half. Rondebosch bounced back with a late try to seal the victory but not before wave aller wave of W}'11berg attack that saw two or three scoring chances go begging-chances that could have won us the grune. Tries by Kelly ruld Kieu with conversions b Leask and Denton. Grey, Port Elizabeth (away-lost 0-16) One could not have asked for a holter da on which to play rugby. The heat spoiled what was gOlllg to be a wonderful game. Wynberg were well belm par and despite having split the trip into two, they looked jaded by the bus. Full marks to a competent, well prepared Grey side who did the necessary to win on the day. Many lessons were learned on UUs da and a great deal of good came from it. Boland Landbou

(away-lost

7-22)

In very windy conditions Boland Landbou struggled to beat W}'11berg. An easy try behind the scrum gave Boland an early head start. W}'11berg had BolaIld Lruldbou under pressure ruld showed some superb forward play with the wind. Try by MayihlOlne Tshwete and conversion b Brendon Leask.

Wynber~ Boys' HI~h St:hool Ma~azine 2001 - 110-

Paarl Gym (away-lost 15-16) nle opportwuty was there but was never taken. Wynberg had Paarl Gym on the rack by leading 15-9 for most of the game with several scoring opportlU1ities, but failed to do so. Paarl Gym scored a last minute converted try. Bishops (away-won

20-15) A stwming game of rugby played by two teams whose sole aim was to nm the baU from end to end-this they did! Wynberg was down 0-10 minutes from half time and rallied against a strong wind to turn 10 all. Wynberg dominated the second half and went 20-10 up with about ten minutes to go. Bishops changed gears and scored a late try to pull back to 20-15 but Wynberg held out till the end for a well deserved will on the Piley Reece. Tries to Kieu and Tshwete with Edwards adding a drop, a penal! and two conversions.

Paarl Boys' (away-Jost 0-13) The worst performance of the season. Exam blues were at an all-lime high and Wynberg was not on the field. A ramprult Paarl side were great on the day aided by the weakest display of tackling. A thoroughly miserable outing. SACS (away-won 70-8) Without doubt the game of the season. Things were pretty tight for the flIst 20 miJ1lltes but then two long-range tries crippled SACS and although they bOWlced back after half-time, they were no match for what was to follow. Wynberg 'clicked' ruld a feast of running rugby followed that ended with 10 converted tries being scored on a day when the blue and white machine was unstoppable. This game will Jive Jong in the memory of those who were there.

Northwood (home-won 29-3) With s.everal players out because of provincial selection, the team still played superb rugby in very wet conditions. lne players that came into the Ist Terul1 still played the exprulsive IUllJung game. Paul Roos (home-won 19-14) TIle opening 10 minutes of this game will be remembered for a very long time. On several occasions the team ran the ball wide from their own try liJle with great confidence, displayillg excellent handling skills and a superb try was scored by wing Justin Lashbrooke. The forwards' skills dominated the set pieces and the backs played and rrul the ball with a lot of confidencc. TIle team also defended with a lot of guts and detemunation throughout tile grune.

Wynber.:

Kent College (won 58-3) A game where Wynberg dominated in all departments scoring some fine tries. TIle Wynberg pack just had the better of the opposition, giving the backs plenty of ball to play with. Oakdale Home (lost 5-10) On paper, Oakdale should have won this game at a canter, fielding seven Craven Week and one SA Schools representative, but the fact that they only just managed it was as a result of a magnificent second half displa by a detemlined Wynberg team. Oakdale were certainly run ragged by a never-saydie team and by the fmal whistle they were struggling to find reasons for slowing down the game so that they could sit down and catch their breath. Try scored by Jonatilan Denton. Kasseisvlei (away-won 24-7) This was certain.ly not rul easy game as Wynberg tried very hard to play their e.xpansive game but came up against a team that wanted to win very badly. Good solid defence on both sides saw few tries scored in the flIst half. A disciplined perfonnrulce by Wynberg with good support play in the second half saw some fme tries scored b Justin van Winkel (2), Jarred KriedelllaJul, Bobb Jarratt amJ two conversions by Warren Edwards. Rondebosch (away-won 19-12) Never an easy grutle to win away-full credit to Wynberg tilOUgh, for their fme defence, good solid for.vard play ruld spreading the ball wide on several occasions. David Kelly scored one gem of a try with tile forwards wilming good first place ball ruld back line players hruldling superbly. Warren Edwards again kicked superbly al posts on the day contributing with four penalties and one conversion. Bishops (home-won 11-8) Wynberg was put under tremendous pressure by a rrunpant Bishops side which scored a try in tile [lIst minute of the game. Wynberg had to play catch-up nlgby for most of the game. The highlight of Utis game was when Warren Edwards hWlg on to a very difficult ball in the in-goal area to score the wilming try in the flllal few minutes. Warren also added two penalties. SACS (home-lost

1~12) .A match which Wynberg would rather like to forgel. After not being llllder ruly pressure during lift minutes of rugby SACS turned the grune around in the last quarter. Wynberg had several occasions to score tries but could not finish otT and get tile ball over tJle try line. After leading this match 10-0 al

Boys' H'.:h School Mall:llzine 2001 - 111 -

half time, Wynberg made the mistake of playing very individual rugby in the last quarter. All credit to SACS for never giving up and raising their game to another level. Try by Justin van Winkel, penalty and one conversion by Warren Edwards.

satisfying features of the season must have been the double over Bishops (the fIrst being an absolute 'blinder' with Weeks scoring a hat-trick of tries) and the reversal of the thrashIDg at the hands of Rondebosch early in the season (when we were still just becoming accustomed to the 'new style').

The 3rd Team had a great year despite losing more matches than they won. They, like every other side in the school, were very happy playing Wynberg's 'new' expansive style of rugby. The boys worked hard and played good, skilful, enjoyable rugby and were unlucky to lose a few of their games. They, like the 4th Teanl, had one problem, though: they didn't know how to finish ofT. It was also difficult to settle down into a rhythm because of the high turnover of players (as is evident from the team list above). The team was ably led by Adrian Swan who exercised great discipline throughout the season despite often being horribly provoked. Very

The 4th XV had a wonderful year. Keen and excited to play Wynberg's 'new' style of rugby, the boys worked hard and played good rugby. The team's style of rugby was very effective and Uley gave all of their opponents a good run for their money. 1l1Cy played a very expansive game, trying every move in the book and it was very entertaining for tile spectators on tile sideline. Their problem, though, was that Uley didn't know how to fmish otT. They'd either play hard for tile first half and slack off tile next., or tile other way around. This was the main reason for tileir losses (beside the shifting of players before matches because of injuries in higher tearns)

but despite the high turnover of players, they worked hard and won their last three matches playing handsomely for the full 60 minutes. Overall, the 4th Tearn had a great year and I'm sure they'll look back on the year as the most enjoyable rugby they've ever played.

The 5th's and 6th's were known as the 'Patriots' and they played accordingly, sbowing dedication to the Wynberg cause. The highlights of the season were a credible draw against Grey College (12-12) and an enthralling 24-17 win at home over Rondebosch. The slogan of the tearn was "you will remember us" and I am sure that all who encountered them will do just that Thanks again to all the parents who pitched in to make this season most enjoyable. Thank you, ebaps, bope this season showed you that hard work and dedication payoff. You did your school proud!

The season started ofT poorly with us losing three of our first four games but a renewed team spirit and three practices per week saw a gradual improvement in form and eventually results. Our hard work and efforts bore fruit with four consecutive wins to end off the second term, the most memorable of which was a come-from-behind 20-8 win over Paarl Boys' away from home, which really raised tearn morale. The season ended with an entertaining 27-0 win over SACS which was a good way to end ofT a wonderful season. Thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to support the tearn, the guys for their corrunitrnent to us as coacbes and to their team mates.

This is probably the best way to summarise the season. After a terrible Ul4 season and an indifferent UI5 season, the team at last reached their potential with a brilliant second half of the season display, losing only the first two matches of the term, winning seven matches in a row. Some of these were outstanding results and the two matches we will never forget are the ones against Oakdale and Bishops. Their success was very much due to a tearn etTort combined with great individual flair. Who will ever forget C Riffet's tackle on the Oakdale player! The try scored by M Raubenheimer against SACS atler receiving a pass from 'Stinkey' Oosterwyk was a great example of the spirit and teamwork that developed during the past season. The tearn played constructive, attractive rugby. Both backs and forwards were determined to run the ball. It will be unfair to single out players in this team but credit must go to A Down for his bullocking runs, scoring 19 tries; S Stewart for his leadership; V Maneli for lightness of feet; R King for being a tower of strength in the lincouts and the power of the front three.

injured, but the team adapted weU and helped new players along. Some individual talent was Siviwe Mxube on our wing for scoring at least one try per game and our flyhalf Kyle Kenny with his mean sidestep. There were many other back line players lik:e Giles, Johnson, Kellennan, Ferguson, Don Allie and Ntinda with flair and talent Nongalaza, Osman, Ebrahim. Sirns, Percent., Kallis, Shaw-Gray and Jones were some of the many forwards who showed consistency and guts throughout the season. A special word of thanks to our parents for their support on the cold, early mornings.

Ut6BBUGBY Coach: MrD Claasen The boys started the season with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm which carried through the entire season. At training sessions we had many ball skill drills which some found a bit 'higher grade' in the beginning but managed to perfect it later on. As the game of rugby goes, a team has its ups and downs, and so did we. The difference with this team was that the 600/0 of ups we had were absolutely brilliant! Every game won was done in style and had aH the aspects of a great team with commitment and just aBowed the ball to do the work amongst themselves and score superb tries. The team was well led by A Wells and in E Vanqa \\Ie found a good aB-round player-he must just learn to be on time. S Dewar was agreal acquisition and will be a great asset next year. D Caimcross showed good skills throughout the season and did quite well at scrumhalf-thanks for standing in. My thanks to Mr Polden and all the parents for their support during the season.

However, it has been an enjoyable year with the team enjoying a winning streak at the beginning of the season. The boys were really detennined and played hard in those games resulting in good tries and excellent wins. The biggest highlight even amongst the boys was the Grey PE tour. Here was an exceptional performance of the team with a display of good rugby skills, which earned the boys praise from some of Grey High School parents and our own parents who watched the game. The first half of the season was ended alI with a gutsy performance and commitment from the team against Paarl Gym at their turf. The second half of the season was a downhill with injuries from the upper teams resulting in a constant shuffiing of players. We also lacked opponents as most of the opposing schools had fewer Ul6 teams. The team, however, still managed to produce good, clean, attractive rugby. We ended otT the season with a brilliant and close game against Bishops which boys enjoyed from both teams.

To have been involved with such a dedicated group made the season a great pleasure. They can become a super team as they have so much heart and I am looking forward to seeing their progress in future years.

Many of our matches were either cancelled by the opposition or as a result of age differences between the two tearns. All in all, the players enjoyed themselves but would have liked the opportunity to play more matches. On our lucky days we were able to play against some of the big schools which have many tearns, like us. lltis is where most of the players tried to improve themselves as we ended up having more than live players moving to the upper teams.

Nothing but praise can be passed out to the Ul5B team. Their enthusiasm and supportive play made them a real pleasure to watch and coach. By sheer belief in themselves and stubbonmess not to lose they came from behind to win many games, most notably against Rondebosch and Oakdale. This was done by using the techniques and positive attitude instilled by Mr Bey of not giving away possession by means of kicks but rather retaining hard fought possession by inter-passing and supportive play. All players made an impact and contributed to the success of the team but the commitment and captaincy of Daniel Williams played a large role in the success of the team. I wish them all success in future years and I am looking forward to seeing how they progress as players and individuals. Lastly, to the players of the Ul5A and B squads, thank you for a most enjoyable coaching experience and to the parents for their support.

This dynamic side played very attractive rugby. It was both a successful and enjoyable season, with notable victories over Boland Landbou, Bishops, SACS and Paul Roos.

Looking at the results of the A tearn, the conclusion is easily made that they are a poor tearn, yet it was not so. As the season progressed they gradually became more skilful, more enterprising and more competitive under the guidance of Mr Basil Bey. They received heavy losses, for example, Paarl Gym and Grey High, but still retained their enthusiasm and commitment at every practice. The best performance was against our traditional schools with the repeat win over SACS in the last match of the season being a real highlighl

In the end they only managed to beat Huguenot and Fish Hoek in a friendly. They had the opportunity to beat a few other sides but a lack of confidence prevented them from doing so. This lack of confidence was caused by some heavy defeats at the hands of Bishops, Paul Roos, Paarl Gym and Paarl Boys'. The team's main problem was a lack of size. They were physically outplayed by most teams who were usually twice the size. Unfortwlately it didn't help that there was a lack of team spirit within the side. Had there been a willingness to play for each other on a Saturday morning, the physical disadvantage could have been overcome. However, when the pressure was on they tended to play as individuals and didn't stick together as a team. Unfortwlately because of this the individual skills of the players could never be utilised. I do believe that, although they area small team, there are some extremely skilled players who, I have no doubt, will become excellent 1st Team players in a few years. Matthew Dasneves, Angelo Pecego and

Marcello Sampson are among these talented players who I believe have a good future ahead of them. There are also a number of other players who will get better and better as they mature and grow. Mention must also be made of Ryan Salida and Ongesiwe Mekuto, who for first time rugby players, made tremendous strides during the season. David Matfield and Nisa Camagu must also be complimented for their never-say-die attitude on the field. The tearn, though, can definitely be complimented for the style of rugby they played. They never kicked the ball and were prepared to run from their own try line. Although they were not always successful they were always willing to try something. The tries that they scored from their own try line against Rondebosch, Huguenot and Oakdale will be remembered for a long time. If they keep playing this attractive brand of rugby I believe that they will surprise everybody with the success they achieve as a lst Team in a few years' time. By then their size will no longer count against them and their skills that they would have developed from running the ball will make them a great attacking team.

They were a skilful team and many of them wilJ become excellent rugby players when they mature and get bigger. Many of them will end up playing 1st Team rugby in a few years' time. However, their size, physical strength and lack of fitness were their main obstacles. It was pleasing to see that they were always willing to run the ball from all positions and despite not winning many games, most players got to play with the ball during matches. The leam's results were slightly better than that of the A team, beating Reddam, Huguenot and SACS in both games, and Rondebosch. Their victory against Rondebosch was the highljght of the season, not only because of the three outstanding

lOOt

tries they scored, but also because they reversed a previous drubbing by the same team. They also scored some outstanding tries in beating SACS twice. Nevertheless, the team also suffered some heavy defeats at the hands of Bishops and the Afrikaans schools. Brandon Williams, Justin Dekker and Garth Holroes always gave of their best in the forwards and aU have a good future ahead of them. In the back line, the Crotz twins were always full of running, while Maurice Mouton and Ongesiwe Mekuto sparked off a lot of excellent moves.

This was going to prove a big challenge for me as it was the first time I had ever coached the sport. I got a list of chaps who I was told have played in the trials and were ready for a good season of rugby, but to me they were just names. I had never seen these boys before. We were forced to play our flfst game of the season against Drostdy without a practice. After a closely fought match, we narrowly lost due to handling errors, and the boys not knowing each other, but we now had something to work on. After chopping and changing after the flfst few games, I finally had the team I would coach to the end of the season and we had some very memorable games: both SACS gwnes will never be forgotten with one being won and one lost. Towards the eud of the season I was joined by Mr Paul Larter, a new edition to Wynberg from Scotlwld. While our coaching methods were totally different, we eventually found an equilibrium and I would like to thank him for the help he put into the team. Thanks to the guys for a great season-hope they enjoyed it as much as 1 did. Good luck to all of you for the future; 1 truly believe you can all go very far wilh your rugby if you keep practising and keep focused.

The practices were weU organised by the coaches and the focus of the training sessions was on the development of the skills of these players. Most of the players showed some good baH sense and it was clear that the spirit in the group was very high. However, this did not come through on the playing pitch. Although we were defeated in most of our games the players showed that true Wynberg never-say-die spirit on the Geld. Every game was played with full conunitment till the fmal whistle. The perseverance and hard work of this group came to its peak with well deserved victories over SACS and Mitchells Plain Muslim School. I will always remember this group of players for their commitment, wiUingness to learn the game, enthusiasm and for the great Wynberg spirit that prevailed amongst the pupils. I would like to wish them good luck in their future rugby careers al the school. I would also take this opportunity to thank aU the parents for their support on behalf of the coaching staff.

SQUASH

Ist TEAM SQUASH Standing: M Coram, C Haley, M Richards Seated: Mr D RusseIl (Coach),. K Mooradd (Captain), Mr K Richardson Coaches: Mr D RusselI (U 19) Mr J Buchanan (U 15) For the first lime in many years, Wynberg has not lived up to its reputation as a dominant force in the Western Province. There are several contributing factors to this state of affairs, but the season has revealed that it is not all doom and gloom. Following the successes of last year's 1st Team (which was largely made up of matrics), we found

(Headmaster)

ourselves in the w1UsuaI situation of having only three matrics playing squash in the U 19 division. This resulted in the 1st Team consisting largely of Grade II boys which certainly augurs well for next year. The past year has been a year of building for the future. I am pleased to say that we continue to contribute the most teams in the league (five tearns in the Vl5 leagues and four in the U 19 leagues) and our contribution to squash continues to be a force. This would not be possible without the help of our

Wynbere 8o)'~'RiCh School Maeulne 2001 -120 -

very willing staff team. On the administration side, Mr Buchanan has been involved with the Ul5 age group for several years and I have appreciated his willingness to be involved and his enthusiasm in the organisation of the various teams. He is leaving us at the end of the year and I thank him for his contribution to Wynberg squash. Mr Taylor joined us this year to assist with the U 19 teams. With regard to the coaching, the 1st Team was fortunate to have the experienced and talented Mr Terry Cooper as coach, which enabled me to work with the top group ofUI5's. Mr Lionel White coached the lower tearns in both the U 19 and U 15 divisions and r am indebted to his enthusiasm-the boys certainly enjoyed his coaching and have gained immensely. Thanks are also due to the staff and parents who so willingly assisted with the transporting of teams on Fridays. With regard to the Ul9 division, it was most encouraging to see the improvement as the year progressed. The Ist Team performed well in the third tenn, ending third in the super league (out of six) with the 2nd Team ending second in the A league. There were some pleasing wins by the 1st Team against St Georges and Paul Roos (against whom we lost to in the second tenn). Both Khaalid Mooradd and Craig Haley held their own as number one and two respectively, and I am confident that the experience they have gained this year will stand them in good stead for the future. In the Top Schools knockout tournament we were beaten by Paul Roos who were then beaten by Rondebosch in the final. In the end of season knockout we were eIinlinated by Bishops in the semi-fmal. During the year we were visited by Prince Edward High (rom Zimbabwe, who beat us convincingly by five matches to one, and during the annual excursion to Grey High School in Port Elizabeth, the 1st Terun lost 6-0 and the U15 team tied their matches 3-3, but were winners on a game count. The U 15 division enjoyed a particularly successful season. The A team ended up second ill the A League, a fine achievement considering that the top two players played in the U19 division. The U 15A leaJn went on to win the U 15 knockout final against Rondebosch by three matches to one-the fITsttime this has been achieved by Wynberg since 1998. The top players, Shaun Marriner and Roberto Talotti, have shown great improvement and maturity in their squash and it was pleasing to see them perform so well in the higher leagues. Our strength has always been in the depth of our junior squash and this continued to be the ease this year. I have always maintained that no matter what level one aspires to play, with the coaching available Wynberg

to everybody at this school, the boys must aim to enjoy their squash and at the same time strive for improvement. The boys in the lower leagues had some tough fixtures against some A and B teams but their enthusiasm always prevailed. In closing, we have plenty to look forward to in the new year. The boys must realise that hard work and determination are essential ingredients for success. Together with the resources offered at WBHS and a total conurutment on their part, I am confident that we will be able to achieve our past successes in 2002.

.TENNIS 1ST TEDI TENNIS REPORT

Teacher-io-charge: Mr G Robertson

A De-Break Stol'J The I st Team has remained a very positive side throughout the year despite the heavy defeats they have been handed. Enjoyment of tbe game has always been a top priority, and who would wish for anything different? Besides, the overall statistics do not always re(]ect some of the very tight games, especially in the first term. The tearn enjoyed a very good flrsl tenn win over traditional rivals, SACS, by the seemingly healthy margin of 4-2, but this had three matches going to tie-breaks for the third set and could have gone either way. Craig Klopstra and Roland Brits at number three and four managed to come from being behind in the second set and again in the tie-breaker to win 10-9 for their match-winning doubles after Craig Rutherfoord had put us ahead after being down in the first set with an impressive destruction of his opponent at number one. The match against Rondebosch 'B' was the third narrow squeak loss in the first term., with Matthew Olsen and Craig Rutherfoord winning their singles and Matthew teaming up with Craig KJopstra to win their doubles, but only in the tiebreak which cast us a draw. We had our chances to win in two of three tiebreakers, with our inexperience causing us to choke on vital points. Against Fish Hoek, WBHS earned a creditable 66 draw against a strong team playing in the perfecl Fish Hoek High home conditions of an absolute howling gale which made the termis farcical at times. Dylan Hilder and Malthew Olsen did well to win ~eir singles and doubles, though after being up 5-2 m the second set they allowed Fish Hoek to pull up to 6-6 before Wynberg won the tie-breaker to draw the match-not a coach's dream! Craig Rutherfoord must again be commended on his consistent play which often ground his opposition to despair-never more so in his great win over Okkie Oosthuizen of the all-powerful DF Malan in the fourth term by 9-7 in a third set tiebreaker. Here Craig KJopstra also did well to win his match in the third set as he did against De Kuilen, so all seems to bode well for 2002.

We had just over 80 boys participating in both team and non-team temUs. What is particularly noticeable is that there is encouraging potential amongst our Grade 8's and 9's. This is bome out by the following statistics of boys who lost the fewest matches during the year: Name G Hawkins R Talotti M Schonfrucht TMain S Whelan

Grant Hawkins did superbly in winning all his games for the year-well done! What is important about the results above is that these boys feed into tbe 1st and 2nd Teams, so the hope is that they will practise hard and improve over the next year or two. Highlights of tbc year have been: • A great start for Grade 8 team tennis, coached most competently by Sam Pearson. • Donation of a ball machine from Chris and Jenny Pearson (no relation to Sam). • Free coaching for our top 8 players from tennis pro, Chri.s Potterton-starting at 06h45 on a Friday moming! • The repair and replacement of the wire netting on six of our cowts. • The enthusiastic involvement and new ideas of racquet sports prefects Roland Brits (200 I) and Dylan Hilder (2002). • The tennis braai beId in the first tenno • 1st Team players helping out at some of the 4th to 8th Team practices during the first term. • The efficient running of the non-team tennis on a Saturday morning by Joy Goodwin. • The willingness of tennis staff Mr Coombe, Mr Blignaut, Sam Pearson, Ms Santi and Mrs Steel lo be available for practices, home matches and particularly providing transport to many different schools throughout the peninsula.

On paper, the I ~tTerun was the strongest and most talented Wynberg has had for years. Physically strong and mcredibly fit, as individuals they were ready to ·cream' it. What happened? Maybe because they were strong as individuals the teamwork was weaker. Maybe because they were always told they are 'gentlemen' the will to win was not ahwys as strong as was that of the opponentbut what a fantastic group, supportive of one another and friends in the true sense of the word; encouragmg one another, interested in their development and recommending improved skills and techniq ues. Ryan Castle, the coach, lives, eats and breathes waterpolo. He is able to assess and train each player and Wynberg has mdeed been fortunate in having him this season. Despite Ius involvement WIth other learns (plus a linie work at wuversity) his alma mater has held first position. We thank him for his dedication and wish him well as he leaves for the USA to further his coaching skills. The presentation photograph of a pigeon (Ryan's nickname) among~t the W)'llberg jocks will, hopefully, be one of hIS prized possessions. Mr Cross has e pendcd much energy trying to arrange improved facilities and the heating of the pool.

It is difficult to rate and assess each member of the team. Justin van Winkel is a superb player who captained the team and led by example. There were six other matrics in the team: • Graeme Duthie, who could fill the goal area with Neanderthal-like arms as he heaved oul of the water. • Scott Forrest, an able and vociferous goalie. • Jared HalJiday, the master of the intercept who outgrew his nickname of 'Flea'. • Ryan Hogarty, the quiet, detemlined one, who was a reliable goal scorer. • David Hill, in whom the coach saw much potential. • Jared KriedemwUl who gave his all in every match, and who was able to swing the game around. We thank them all for their contribution to the sport aIld school. Other regular 200 I team members were Andrew Avis, Charlton Kirk, Scott Martin wld Nicholas-Jon Molyneux, who will be here to maintain the high levelofwaterpolo skill next year. In the Mazinta Cup, Wynberg lost to Bishops in the semi-fmal, which Bishops ultimately won. At the Vides tournament in East London (which maIl players considered the highlight of their polo career) Wynberg was placed fourth overall, having lost to St John's in the semi-fmal. At tlIe recent SACS tournament, Wynberg played 9, won 6, lost 2 and drew I. The commentator regarded the BishopslWynberg matches as llle local Derby. Not all players nominated tllernselves for Western Province trials. Under 18A players chosen were: Andrew A VlS, Graeme Duthie and Jared Kricdemann. The Under 16A representative is Nicolas-John Molyneu . We wish tllem all luck, fun, skilled enjoyment and success (in whalever wa each interprets tlle word) as tlley depart for Gauteng in December. Awards and rewards will be made at the Achievers' DilUler-a fitting fmal gathering following a fantastic season.

AIrs S Williamson

Player Critique Scott Forrest (Goalkeeper) Best game: vs KES (4-2) . Scott once again had an excellent season, savm.g some vital penalties. With more vocal c~mmurucation this year his game expanded as he tightened up the defence. Scolt needs to .forget a?<>u~ the defensive lapses and turn them mto motlvallonal points. Stephen Ahlfeld Best game: vs Westerford (12-0) Stephen is a very talented player who finally deserved his WP U 16 selection. One of the most technically gifted goalies in the regio~, he only needs to work on getting more expenence, and taking more control of the defence. Ryan Hogarty Best game: vs Bishops (7-6) . . Ryan did not have an influenllal presence ~l~ year, compared to last year. His versallhty Wlthm the team meant that he could play anywhere in the pool, and he often played hole-guard where his defence and commUllication were excellent. Ryan needs to convert more of his opportwuties, since most defences are aware of his abilities. Daniel Cairncross Best game: vs Rondebosch (9-12) . Whilst possessing the skills to play at UllS level, he needs to develop composure and rela~. . A good player all roUlld, he lacked enough mstmct and awareness to guarantee a [lfSt team .spot. Daluel needs to work on his vision and balancUlg. Justin van Winkel Best galue: vs Bishops (7-6~ . Justin captained the team WIth naturalleader~hip and pushed then'! to high levels of play. His garne became more reserved and took a backseat to captaincy however he was very useful up front. Justin n~ds to work on getting higher out of the water, and in the hole he needs to get better drives off the ball. Jared Kriedemann Best game: vs Gre ,PE (6-3) Jared had all excellent season in th~ fourth term after a relatively frustratulg flfst lernl. He scored some crucial goals throughout the year and had an excellent SACS tournament, bemg named on the lournament team. Jared needs lo work on releasmg the ball quicker alld increase his driving in or across

Jared Halliday Best game: vs SACS (11-3) Jared's game did nol improve compared to last year, however his perfectionist attitude always made him push himself to be better. Generally a clever player, he helped control the drives up front and worked well on the left and the right. Jared suITered as more ball went to Graeme and his work rate decreased. Charlton Kirk Best game: vs Rondebosch (6-4) Charlton's game also has not improved since last year. His finishing was the biggest drawback to a hardworláng player. The timing of his drives often led to counter altacks, because his driving did not create options. Charlton needs to work hard OD finishing and ball skills. Scott Martin Best game: vs SACS (11-3) Scott had an excellent first term and a relatively quiet fourth term. Still yet to score a goal m the first term., he needs to concentrate on his fmishmg. His distribution and awareness on defence make him a very strong bench player for any tearn. Big things are expected next year. David Hili Best galne: vs Rondebosch (6-4) David had a very roller-coaster season. On his da , easily a WP player, but generally had an inconsistent season. A lethal shot when given space up the left, while a lack of confidence led to a slump m form, David always gave his best and was always out of breath. Andrew Avis Best game: vs Bishops (7-6) Andrew had a more illf1uential year ilian last year and scored quite a few crucial goals. While still not playillg anywhere near his potential, he is very strong and skilful in the hole. He needs to merease his work rale and cover more pool area, givmg more attention to swimming. Nicolas..John Molyneu!. Best game: vs Grey, PE (6-3) Molly became the youngest player ever to play for the flrst team at 14 years old, against Westerford. While very yOWlg and lacking experience, he has a high work rate and possesses outstandÏllg ball skills. On defence he needs to work on his awareness in order to stop getting kicked out.

Graeme Duthie Best games: vs Rondebosch (9-12), vs KES (4-2) Graeme's game improved consistently throughout the year and he was a vital player in the team. An excellent left-hander, he scored some impressive goals from the right and his distribution was vital to the tearn. He needs to work on quicker option-taking and improve his driving. Julian Vincent Best game: vs SACS (1 1-3) Julian is an excellent left-hander who should become a great player in the next two years. As a hole man he need to work on his body positioning. As a driver, he needs to work purely on his awareness and timing.

The 1st Tearn this year was a very talented team and had a thoroughly enjoyable season. With nine players returning from last year, experience and strength were seen as the key to a successful season. YOWlg players such as Stephen Ahlfeld in goals and Nicolas-John Molyneux, provided the keenness and proved to be excellent fmds of the season. The season was divided into three distinct phases. The frrst phase was built around brawn. We played a very physical game, complemented with a swimming game plan. Good wins against SAC ruld Rondebosch were built arowld a strong defence Md excellent game play from the whole team. The second phase was the SACS tournament., where skill and heart carried the team through some great perfonnanccs. They narrowly missed making the playoffs due to an inferior goal ditTerence against Grey PE, a tearn which we beat 6-3 in the lournrunenl. Jared KriedemarU1 was selected for the tournament side as reward for some excellent perfonnrulces. The third phase was built around brainsgenerally a shorter period than the previous two. The team played some outstanding waterpolo and were involved in two of the greatest grunes in the Western Province. Both grunes were lost to Rondebosch (9-12) and to SACS (10-12) but showed the true calibre and strength of schools from this region. The aim of this tC3J11 was to have fun and score goals. Needless to say, in areas where we fell short, there were other areas where we exceeded all expectations. Commitment even through the cold wmter training gave this te3J11 the courage and convicllon to achieve anything that they W3J1tcd. "me team was well led b Justin van Winkel (captain) and Jared Kriedemarm (vice-captain). Man thanks to the parents who always supported

The tearn almost remained unbeaten until a brief period where many core players moved up to represent the 1st Team. Alan also points out it was the three grulles which he couldn't attend! With an emphasis on fWl and improving the basics, the tearn had an awful time fmishing. Goals were in short supply but our defence was even stingier.

So the Thllfllping Thirds

and the Fighting Fourths constituted the teams as reOected above. Given that the fourth term was so dismal I'll brieOy indulge myself in the first term: the 3rds drew 3-3 to Bishops, lost 3-4 to Rondebosch and beat Paul Roos 16-0 on a memorable moming at Stellenbosch in the University pool, replete with coffee shop! The end of season bash at the Stellenbosch Spur was also memorable. The 4ths lost 0-3 to Rondebosch, beat SACS 4-3 and Bishops 6-3. The fourth tenn began on a disappointing note with most of the matrics not bothering to infonn me they would not be renrrn.i.ng, or saying that they were going to play but not doing so. And due to tius uncertainty we never got arowld to electing new captains. So special conunendation goes to Hayes, Stedall and Swan for seeing it through. Thanks, guys. The practices went very well-many players from lower sides had a long way to go but we covered a lot of growld. The fitness came as the biggest shock to many and I am surprised at how unfit we were coming out of the winter season. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to coach guys who were so eager to learn and get fil. Despite UIe intensive training tile results were ab smal for the 4ths and frustrating for the 3rds; we lost all our ganles, the 3rds usually by three goals or so, and UIe 4ths by 9 or ID! The biggest problems were fitness in the 4ths and marking ill tile 3rds. some initating personal idiosyncrasies and generally a lack of assertion. 1 must make mention however of the guys' self-discipline: I made it clear from day onc tllat a guy who retaliated or swore in the pool would leave the water ilTunediately. After that 1 had no occasion to carry out my threat. Despite the losses I enjoyed the season UIOfOUghly. Special mention goes to StTickland, McKerchar and Burgess, who to my nund have improved significanUy since tenn one, and Bengston and McCool who. as newcomers, got stuck in from the start and took the coaching tips to heart. There are some oUlers v/itil potential-I hope they'll rise to the challenge. And that brings to an end I I years of waterpolo coaching at Wynberg. Good luck, guys.

Both our senior and junior teams were very competitive this year against our traditional rivals in the USASSA super league. A number of very promising U 16 players have emerged from the beginners' ranks which augurs well for next year.

Highlights of the year for our senior (under 19) side included our double win against Rondebosch Boys' High (28-17 and 19-11) , our single point win against a very strong Waldorfteam (25-24), our first, and comprehensive, win against the Old Boys' team (26-17), and our narrow loss to perermial adversaries Westerford (25-24) who beat us by 16 points in the first term.

SURFING Teacher-in-Charge: MrR Tipper Surfmg as an official school sport at WBHS was revived this year, with one team of five surfers entering the Western Province Schools' 'A' League. The league was divided into three divisions (north., central and south) and the 11 schools competing were zoned according to their respective areas and allocated specific surf breaks around the Peninsula Wynberg Boys' Hjgh thus surfed against Rondebosch and SACS in the central division. The team comprised five very enthusiastic 'surfer dudes', namely Nic Telforcl Rudi Breuruger, Warren Calderwood, Robert Cockron and Nicholas Heim. Six contests were held and although surf conditions were not always conducive to quality surfmg and 'radical" manoeuvres. the team racked up enough points to be placed second overall in the league.

Their motivation, team spirit, punctuaJjty (!) and full attendance at every contest also secured the 'Best Team' Award. Rudi Breuruger was placed second overall out of 75 surfers in the individual rankings. The team was placed fourth in the Western Province Schools' Champs. Each team member was awarded a trophy and a certificate for rus efforts. Given the number of Wynberg boys who surf, and the amount of enthusiasm there is for the sport, WBHS will certainly be able to enter two, if Dot three, teams in the A and B leagues next year. The surfing industry is gelling fmnly behind schools' surfmg with sponsorsrup of contest vests and trophies, as well as offering coacrung, providing judges for competitions and hosting judging courses. Schools' surfing has certainly regained the momentum, credibility and recognition it enjoyed in previous years, and all those in the surfmg fraternity are 'lank stoked, bru'! 1aculne 2001

Well done, Jaco, and thank you very much. The expectations were fulfilled. The awards came rolling in and it was again a great year for Cycling at Wynberg. Seven riders' wheels sang on the training rides in the beginning of the year and

five riders continued into the strenuous SACF winter league. Wynberg can boast some great results this year. It is the first time we had an UI6 rider on a professional U 16 tour in Mpumalanga (March), we had a record four riders competing in the SA Championships in Kimberly (August) and a definite highlight was the annual Interprovincial competition. The WP U19 (including two Wynberg riders) and the WP UI4 (including one rider) tearns won their age divisions, and thus secured WP an overall win in the competition-the [lISt time in a long while. In both the Pickfords swruner league and the SACF winter league, our riders did very well, always ensuring strong opposition to tbe fellow riders. The cyclists' hard work paid oIT during tbe annual WP Schools' Prize Giving held in November. Wynberg received two trophies and three medals. This year's riders' results in both tbe ArguslPick 'n Pay tour and the BurgerlSan1am tour were excellent and our riders set a standard which will be difficult for Wynberg lo maintain in tbe years to come .

A group of 38 boys registered to do cross-country as a winter sport in 200 I. Practices were on Mondays and Thursdays and the league races took place on Wednesdays at various venues around the peninsula.

There was a small core of keen runners who attended practice regularly. A special thanks to Mr Brits who offered to coach the Ul7 and ut9 runners during the second term. His entbusiasm and eITorts are much appreciated. The flISt league mce was at Camps Bay and il was a tough course with which to start the season. The Ul9 team (Cronje, Tshiki, Brits, Hlophe) won the team evenl The utS leam were placed third and the U 14 team came fourth, showing potential. It was unfortunate that Roland Brits and Philip Emslie were plagued by injuries this season. Their absence from league races was noticeable.

A few Ul4 and UIS runners deserve mention. Christian February, Gavin Davis, Adrian Schofield, Andrew Mandy and Craig Butler tried hard and improved throughout the season with Byron Carr and Gavin Schreiber always giving lOO%. The Cape Schools Week in Paarl proved to be a challenge for our runners. The competition was predictably tough-not unlike the race course! Wynberg placed third in the team event. The tour to Grey High School also was a challenging event. Tai Cronje ran the 4th fastest leg of the 4x4km relay race in a time of 17: Il. A touring team from Winchester College, England, was hosted by Wynberg. We thank the Cronje, Brits, Fitzgibbon, McCullam, Alexander, Dilrajh and Schofield families for their hospitality in

hosting the VISItOrs. We are in the privileged position of being one of the few schools able to organise a cross-country race on our own campus! The Winchester boys had trained hard, were competitive and their first team boasted superb athletes. The Wynberg fiTst team came second, beating the second Winchester tearn, Rondebosch, Steenberg, Pelican Park and Plumstead. The cross-country team was captained by a competent, hardworking and enthusiastic leader, Tai Cronje. Motivating many of the registered team members to run was a tiring task. Hopefully in 2002 the sport will attract only those boys who are willing to actually run. The cross-country team can also look forward to being coached by a new, talented, enthusiastic and energetic stalT member.

Team: C van Schalkwyk., S Kihn, M Steenkamp, J van Rooyen, P Ashley Both the VISA and VI9A sides improved significantly on their performances of last year.

Finally both teams came off tbe best in all the clashes against Herzlia (they lost their number two league position to our VISA side). The V19's were even more awesome in their buiJd-up to become the best in the league within the next year by raising their winning percentage from SOOIo (last season) to 80% (this season). Well done to both teams. We set ourselves very lUgh goals at the end of last season and we excelled! A special thanks to the Grade 12 team members for their commitment and the legacy they're leaving behind. Good luck for the future.

GOLF Teacher-in-charge: MrELefson

Captain: B Simpson What has become clear this year is that the standard of junior golf keeps gets better and it takes a big etTort to compete. To this end a player would need to spend 10-15 hours a week at the game which is a struggle for our boys who are involved in so many things. The results of the Ist Team were the worst ever, losing more than we won. This despite having the best number I and 2 in the league. In 22 matches combined, Barclay Simpson and Grant de la Mare lost only two games. As for the rest, only Steven Rix managed any kind of consistency with six wins. Hopefully he can build on this. Concerning others in the team, there was not much happening as it is difficult to win when you start three points down. The 2nd Team had some good showings but were not nearly consistent enough. There is some hope with Webb and Larsen, both Grade 8, wbo

have potential. The 3rd Team had their best ever season, losing only once and coming second in the league. We say goodbye to two loyal exponents of Wynberg golf: Barclay Simpson is one of the best golfers to come out of the school and he will certainly continue with the game. I look forward to following his progress. Secondly, Robert Page, who always gave of his best and did work trying to promote the game. Golf is a great game which otTers great rewards but requires a large sacrifice. Hopefully we can fmd some boys willing to make the sacrifices to take the game at Wynberg forward.

The 2000 season ended with the team winning the WP Schools Championships for the first time in 20 years. Hoping to build on this feat, practices were initially attended enthusiastically in 200 I. Unfortunately as there were not many fIXtUres the sport started to dwindle and the initial enthusiasm was not maintained. It is a pity that Judo will not continue as 8 sport at Wynberg. Highlights dlD'ing the year were that Sean Stewart, Peter Ashleyand Jared Halliday were chosen to represent WP at Nationals.
