time she has seen the Music Department move from the cramped

accommodation behind the hall to the new centre which usedto be the sanatorium, She has been very much involved in the

teaching of the piano and matriculation music: both are roles inwhich she has excelled. Her wide range at experience and in-sight into education have been invaluable. not only in the Music

Department but also in so many aspects of school life. Alwaysprepared to help she has assisted in numerous ways and thisyear has run the commendation/house mark schedules. 1 ammost grateful for the support that Mrs Young has given StAndrew's and I wish her success and happiness in her retitement

Our next major academic challenge will come with the introduc-tion of an African language At present we are looking into thepossibility of teaching Zulu from Standard Three to Standard

Seven 7 as an additional subject in the Junior School, and asan alternative to French. Speech and Drama. and Music in theSenior School, I know that some parents have telt that the lack

of an African language has been a weakness in our academicprogramme. and I believe that we will now be able to remedythe situation However. we have to consider the syllabus for thesubject: whether we will offer it tor matriculation purposes. and

most important at all. who to appoint to the stall.

1 am grateful to the Board for allowing us to go ahead with theintroduction of this subtect. Even though it may not be availablein the Senior School next year, [ hope that it Will be taught in

vided by Form OneAll classes have been involved in excursions this year. once again

the Drakensberg and Kimberley trips proved to be real highlights.I am grateful to those members of statt who are ptepared to

organise these trips and accompany the girls on what is certainlynot a holiday!The activities periods on Thursday afternoons have againproved their value at Form One level. and I should like to thank

Miss MCCaIlum for organising these and tor her special interest

in the Siyatunda projectIn common with all South Atricans. we at St Andrew s have ex-perienced the uncertainties at our social. political. and economicstructure, At Board and statt levels we have examined the posi»

tion oi St Andrews in a changing Society. and whilst we cannotsee too far ahead, we are united in our determination to main

tain our academic standards in a nonrractal school, and to pro-vide out pupils with an education for lite. and not simply totmatriculation purposes

The board and stait are already involved in several projectsrelating to these points The demand from Black patents for their

children to enter St Andrew s is great, and I know that this isthe pattern in all private schools in this country At present wereceive approximately four applications per day for Black childrento enter the school, Many of these applicants have a very poor

educational base and lack the necessary funds to come to a schoolsuch aslhts Bursaiies are required and I would ask any parentor Company that can assist us in this regard to contact meWe have made progress at Junior School level through the opentng of our After School Care Centre This occupies the premisesused by our PresGrade Classes in the mornings. and an enrichingprogramme is available for approxtmately 20 childrenHowever. our problems at senior school are greatei. and MrsSkownot Our school Counsellon is giving special attention to the

development of an entrance test which will assess potentialwtthout a cultural bias This has been a particularly dif cult taskto: her. but she is making progress with this.

There is no doubt that written and spoken English present themayor problem tor our Black children. and Mrs Jane Asher. atotmer pupil of St Andrews and now a linguistics specialist. hasspoken to us on the difficulties ot teaching English as a secondlanguage M15 Schmaman and Mrs Longrlnnes ate helping outBlack pupt 3 through a remedial programme. but it IS obvious

that further assistance is required and that the time is coming for

us to consider the employment of a lullrttme linguistic specialist

We believe that Ahica s traditions, Culture. literature and artshould form a greater part at our syllabuses Already works byBlack writers and poets have been introduced to the English

syllabus. and we plan to teach more of the histoty and geography

of the Atncan continent We believe that through this approachour pupils Will be better prepared tor the changes that are takingplace in our country

At present we have an excellent programme of general lecturestor most Forms Mrs Yates has invited a wide variety ot speakers

to the school to lecture on topics ranging tmm Nazi Germany.

Communist China, abortion. to drugs Howevet. many pupils

ate not aware of what is happening in our own country and weshall make a determined eftort next year to arrange for speakeis

to address the school on this topic. I also plan to move two atour Saturday morning Chapel Services to Friday morning so that

the day girls can have the advantage of hearing some of theoutstanding speakers that visit St Andrew's.On the cultural side we intend to place further emphasis on theperfoiming arts. particularly Music and Speech and Drama.

Opportunities exist in Chapel each morning to! girls to playinstruments and to perform shoit sketches, and these need to

be developed further We hope to have lunch-time music and

drama also,Public speaking is a skill which we need to develop Whilst we

are Veiy aware of the excitement and enthusiasm generated inthe Speech and Diama department we believe that more stress

should be placed on voice production and the management ofmeetings. The Minerva Clubt founded by Mrs Cleal. has beena Complete eye-opener in this regard. and it is a source of greatpleasuxe to me to see the girls conducting these meetings withsuch aplomb,Recreation is anothei field which needs encouragement Out girlsare indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to go camping in

the Drakensberg and hiking on some of the trails. There is nodoubt that these experiences are Inavluable and girls return to

school greatly enriched by themOur association with other schools is also broadening our educartional base. We have had visits from St Mark s, St Ansgar s and

Maru a Pula this year. and our Form 111. IV and V social withSt John s. St Alban'st and St Stithian's was again highly suc-

cesstul Nevertheless, much needs to be done in our outreachprogramme and we look forward to further contact both at staff

and pupil levelYou may ask. 'How is a small school such as St Andrew s goingto make its contribution to the new society? At a chapel serviceearly on in the year, the Rev Granville Morgan spoke to us aboutthe parable of the loaf of bread in which the importance of the

piece of yeast is stressed in the production of a large and deliciousloaf of bread He showed the Significance of the minority andpointed out that we could achieve so much through small begin-nings lbelieve this to be true. and I know that we must preparetot our future now This school must contribute something vitalto the new South Attica. and we must realise that we are privis

leged to be part at this process We must grow with the challenges

of Southem Atrica as the rewards will be great, As a private schoolin this country we have a great opportunity to develop a justsociety where character. not colourt will be the critical factor.In conclusion. Mr Chairman, I should like to congtatulate youon your appointment as the Chairman of the Association of

Private Schools and to thank you and the members of you: Boardtor the support that you have given the school and me duringthe year I am very conscious of the many hours of work thatyou put into the attairs at St Andtew's and i am most gtateiulfor your contribution. i should also like to thank the ParentsAssociation who do so much for the school in providing servicesand finance.

Headmistress s Report 1986

1986 at St Andrew's Junior School has been a busy and ful l~ling one, The twelve months have flashed by all too quickly Onewonders what has been accomplished and how successlully.whether each individual has in tact been encouraged to ex

perience. to enjoy and to make optimum use of the opportunitiesafforded herin a Private School? Our intention is that our pupilsshould learn the art of tree thinking and sell discipline at an early

age so that when they move on to high school at the end ot aseven year sojournr they enter as wellrmoulded members ol acommunity,In January 1986. we welcomed Mrs Hawkridge who joined thestaff to teach our Standard Two class. We opened a second Stanr

dard One to cater for our increased numbers. and Miss Claytontook over the responsibility of teaching this group of children.Our new Grade 0 class was opened and we were encouragedto see the good intake of new pupils We were pleased that Mrs

Fanner could join our staff to teach the new entrants. alongside

Mrs Cubey.Our plan to reduce the size of classes by introducing parallel

classes has enabled us to provide for the needs of individualchildren in these groups. However, in the present economic andpolitical climate, there was. at the beginning of 1986. a greater

demand for Day Boarding among the younger children in theschool We became aware that an afternoon programme would

have to meet many requirements and so. on 1 March. we

opened our After School Care Centre. and we welcomed MrsJ H099 to our stall as the teacher in charge The Centre has rapid-ly become a popular venture and has proved to be a mostworthwhile undertaking, The concept of an after school care cenrtre goes beyond just looking after the children in the afternoon:it aims to provrde a structured but homely and secure environ»ment in which the children can develop intellectually. socially andemotionally Great emphasis is placed on language development.playr social interaction and response to individual needs.

The importance of mathematics as a subject cannot be over-emphasized and our children's ability to think has been improvedwith the opening of the new and improved Computer Centre.On 7 and 8 March. children from Grade Two to Standard Fivespent happy hours on the machines enjoying new experiences

Friday. 11 July, saw a different start to the day in the JuniorSchool. It was Mathemagics Day, an interrhouse activity involeving mathematics enrichment for tun. Each child was asked toanswer tour questions, the degree of difficulty increasing with each

question so that only the more able pupils were able to Completequestion (our. Different coloured stickers were awarded tor eachcorrect solution. Once again groups of Standard Five girls parrticipated in the Maths Fest held at Auckland Park School andin the 1986 Junior Mathematics Olympiad held at Hurlyvale

Primary School.Music in the Junior School continues to ourish In March. severalof the girls participated in the RSCM Chorister of the Year Award.

the singing of the massed choirs under the direction of RichardCock was magical', It was decided to run a Music Workshop inTerm Three and 50 on the morning of 9 October. parents were

Speech Day Address

by the Right Reverend Duncan Buchanan. Bishop of Johannesburg

Judging tvom the number of invitations [ have received to speakat Speech Days recently. the advent of a new Bishop is a note

worthy occasion. With a sigh of relief the Private Schools at leastneed iook no further for a speaker. and all they need to do isask I am delighted to say that Mr Simmonds's sigh was brieferand he acted more quickly than the others 7 and the result is

that here we are'

St Andrew's is not of course totally new to me Apart from the

recent Continuation. I can remember as a school boy being awareat a source of beauty. brains and character centred in Bedford

view. and having returned some thirty years later. it is good toknow and see tor myself that the standard has been maintained

In saying what I want this evening. let me begin with a story 7regrettably true Earlier this yeah my wite arid I were driving loCape Town for the Archbishop s Enthronement. and we were

ctuismg happily through the Free State. minding out own

business As we went through the gatsometer. I glanced downand saw we were doing 140 km/hr so it was not surprising to{ma us being apprehended by the long arm at the law Workingon the basis that an admisston oi guilt and acknowledgement of

one s cnme is usually less expensive, I acknowledged my trans-gtession in my finest Afrikaans I was imiited to look at the

evidence. which to my veiled indicated a mere 133 km/hr and

was duly booked. Spelling BUCHANAN in Afrikaans let mebreathless and rather pleased with myself. but the crunch camewhen he asked me what my Beroep or occupation was. I said,not knowing another word for it [ am a Dominee' and his reachtion was Instantaneous and rather awerinspired. I am happy tosay that the result was a discounted ne and a somewhat re-Iieved Dominee!Now as I re ect on this incident. I am aware of one or two thingswhich will highlight what I want to emphasise this evening,The first is that quite unwittingly I had hidden behind an areaof privilege. and in so doing got off rather more lightly than mighthave been the case. So [ was in the wrong for so easily and

delightedly accepting my discounted fine. and i feel somewhatashamed of my rather facile pleasure in being allowed a slight

look at the world oi enormous privilege and more important.accepting the benefits from itNow a school like this stands {or something very special and ratherdelightiui but above all it stands for a commitment to an ex-cellence in Education. seen not simply in terms at metric resultsbut in terms of the whole person. Mr Simmonds's report indicates

how much time and creativity must inevitably be given to musicdrama and cultural input. as well as the absolutely critical aspectoI cross-cultural input. and sport and recreation to say nothing

10 SI Amtmm

ol the dreaded computer!On top of that the School unashamedly stands for the processof living out the Christian faith and values The Chapel. theChaplain, the name, and choir are but the outward signs of that

fad. The inner signs are more difficult to see. One can have allthe outward signs of Christianity and frankly not be very Chris-tian. For Christianity means that process of not only acknowledgring Christ as the centre'and focus of the schooli but living outthe values which are His special gilt to us. For me one of the

critical ones is that which Mr Simmonds has already quoted.Whoevet would be great amongst you must be your

servant, and whoever would be rst among you

must be slave of allv'So often education is for advantage and not for service, I suspect

that many parents would send their children to a school suchas this, so that they might have a better start in life. The inferenceis that they can stay ahead and continue their advantage. Buthow many parents send their children to a school like this so thatthey can be trained for service? That. you see. is what I mean

by privilege.If we are to follow our Lord Jesus we are immensely privi-

leged. But privilege always carries with it responsibilities The twocan never be separated, but it is sad, nay tragic. how often theyare, The history of the Old Testament is a good example. Thepeople of God 7 designated chosen people' and a specialpossession of God i are also entrusted with that special privilegeof being the people to whom others would look. and recognise

in and through them the active working of a living, loving andredeeming God. That they did not live up to that is somethingto which the prophets bore eloquent testimony Equally withinthe history of the Christian Church the Christians have again andagain emphasised their privilege and too often used their privilege

as a form or a means of oppression. The history of the disastersknown as the Crusades gives us one glimpse at what that means50 i1 is not surprising that a Government which calls itself Christian is given scant credit tor anything good it might haveachieved, it at the same time it is experienced as oppressive, in-capable of listening and unable to allow space for people to exer-cise their humanity either socially or politically,Privilege on its own can lead to a sel shness which is horrifyingnot because it is selfish 7 that is taken for granted 7 but becausethe privilege is usually gained in the name of something else suchas Civilisation or Christianity or even Education.50 civilisation often can be experienced by others as a way ofbeing selfish with refinement and good manners; and Christiani-ty is too often experienced as selfishness in the name at thesupremely unselfish one 7 Jesus, So too education can meana refusal to mix with the underdog, it can mean education forconsumerism and acquisition 7 and the world usually equateseducation with higher salaries and greater perks. But Jesus saidIt shall not be so with you 7 he who would be great amongyou must be your servant .So our privilege is to learn how to serve, i suppose there is nomore powerful witness and in uence for good in the world than

a tiny lshe is less than (we feet tall) wizened little lady called Mother

Theresa. She wrote her own little prayer (wonderfully set to music

by Donald Swarm) 7 which goes like this:Make us worthy LordTo serve our lellow men

Throughout the world, who live and dieIn poverty and hunger

Then comes the really dif cult part of the prayer,Give them through our handsThis day their daily bread.And by out understanding loveGive peace and toy

You see it starts with privilege'Make us worthy LordTo serve our tellow men.

It IS a privilege - and serving our fellow men is not a questionof liking them. they are often not nice people but it is ourniceness which might give them a chance to be the nice peoplethey want to be. and as God made them

Something snapped in me when a group oi us had stopped onthe side of the road for a picnic. As we left a little urchin jumpedinto the large garbage receptacle and emerged triumphant witha chicken bone one of us had already eaten clean. and startedto take a tew shreds ott. and to lick the paper wrapping. Adelightful morsel for him, and I became angry then at my own

unthinking privilege which allows that to happen without think-ing twice. Archbishop Desmond snapped when he saw childrenwith distended bellies in a sarcalled relocation camp, mixing sandWith their porridge to make it go further.

Make us worthy Lord to serve our fellow men.Give them through our hands,This day their daily bread.

Then comes the responsibility 7 how do they get that daily breadwithout our hands. Prayer is the process at action 7 and wedare not pray that things happen without our involvement. it isas we get involved that things happen 7 that is responsibility

And that doesn t mean doing a Fun Run (or Peace or Operation Hunger'. It means meeting people 7 getting past theawkwardnesses 7 it means starting to listen. and not prescribe.It means seeing past prejudice 7 and i do want to emphasise

that prejudice is not only a matter of race but the prejudicesbetween English and Atnkaner. the young and the old. the

Northern and the Southern Suburbs are just as virulent

What is critical then is the use we put to what we have achieved,Let me give you an example there is an educational crisis inthis country which is beyond belief and for most beyond com-

prehension. and for most here tonight unknown For themoment, forget the causes 7 but ask yourselves whether this

education you have received cannot even now be used to rec-tify the educational inequalities so hideously apparent in our coun-

try. Service, responsibility. the giving of daily bread that is whatyou have been educated for Take it, treasure it. use it and share

and God will bless you more than you can ever imagine.

successfully directed the play A tnrther recommendation wasthe largecast which would offer opportunities to the enthusiastic actresses tn the

house

I liked the play when I had read it through: it was ditterent, powertutI could see that it might be a play which would move the audience andhold their interest, it one could avoid a heavy handling of the veryobvtous teltglous messageTo add to the excitement of the production, I decided to incorporate adance as a prologue to the play The dance was the play stmplified into

movement, and offered a brtel preparation for what was to lollow The

masks were used in the dance [0 show that the actors and actresses hadnol yet chosen their parts and that they were in a void They were in-

uenced by both good and evil, but ultimately had to exercise thetr own

freedom ol choice in the path they were to follow.The worst moment at the play. tor me. was the nervewracking experienceon the night at the pertormance Atter organising the props e a tewboxes arranged in a V' shape ratsed at the centre I turned my aliens

tion to the mustc tor the dance. To my honor. the tape would not gointo the player Thank goodness. it turned outto be only linger trouble;someone had pushed the wrong button. and eventually. the tapeslipped qulelly into place

On the whole. I found the play very ttme-consumtng, and that it needed

undivided attention (tom me and the east Although we dtd not havemany play practices. they usually went very well There were times.however. when l despatred etever pulling it all together. The help I had(tom the casl, their enlhusiasm, and Rozanne s complete suppor werethe (adms Ihat. In |he end. made it all happen as [ had hoped

I thank everyone. especially the hands behind the scenes, who was tn-volved and who helped to make it all such fun

we saw etght such productions rangtng lrom extracts from The Bov/rtend

to short plays by Geraldine Aaron and George Bernard Shaw. Thestandard was htgh. the dtrectors were brave, and the eventngs were alwaysa success. What was pleastng was that the casts were usuaHy made up

of nonrdrama gtrls hence giving opportumttes to so many gtrls who woutd

not normally be involved in dramatic presentations The gtrls who did

Reminiscence:

1920 The bus journey to schoolThe year Is 1920 St Andrew s School for Glrls

is in Girton Road. Parktown We three sisters.

Joan, Meredlth and Dorothy are day scholarsIn order to assist the day glrts wtth transport to

and from the school, a harserdrawn bus from

Lambeths leety Stables was used The stavtingpotnt was trom our parents' home m St Pamck s

Road Houghton whence we proceeded alongUpper Houghtoh, BeIIevue. Yeonlle and ParkLane until we reached Parklown Iregret msaythat In spite at every ettort on the part at the

slatt in our home, we three starters were always

dispatched In an unseemly and olteh belatedrush. There were a (ew days when. alter the

morning assemny and prayers. MISS Fletcherwould step torward and announce. "the hus lslate agam who was at fault" We three sisters

then stepped to the Iront I am alraid I cannotremembet what we recelved th just punishment

The bus rtdes were not without Incidents In factthere were two occaslons whrch might haveCaused accidents Two ol Ihe glrIs we collectedin Yeowlle were the Crosby ststers 7 whosehome was precartously perched at the top at

Cavendlsh Road having collected the girls the

drwer hurled to descend the dlzzy road. The

horses inpped and came down on their knees

However, they were upnghted and wecontlmledThe other Incident could have been mote

disastrous as on Wednesdays we lelt school atItmch tlme to go home That day we clamberedmto the bus and proceeded up Girton RoadWe then realtsed that the driver was not In the(OHCIl IOn he should have been He su ered

on the relns. we were hurled down the streetand Ionunately mtssed the whlte pallngs which.at that ttme. tensed the storm water drains. Mary

Turner reallsed we were In danger She was anabIe horsewoman so cIImbed through the back

ol the drwer s seat and grabbed the relns Aswe entered Park Lane we had to dtscuss if we

had enough money tor tram lares to reachhome _ we managed lell the bus and thedrunken drlver to return to the stablesMeredith Rodd (Blacklock)
