It was an honour to welcome Mr Wandile Linda (Finningley, 2017), Head of School, as guest speaker at the annual Kearsney Bursary and Scholarship Boys’ lunch.Wandile was suppor ted by the Class of 1952 Bursary fund while at Kearsney College. Wandile commented about the power of community, “I am here today because of the dedication of my family, the staff of Kearsney College, Old Boys such as Mr Pat Marshall and the rest of the Class of 52 and Mr George Baikie, a proud Kearsney Old Boy.” Each of these young men have written letters to their benefactors. Reading these letters, of oppor tunities seized and memories made, it is apparent how much our donors contribute to Kearsney College and to the future leaders of our country.
