via Stable cave and Ribbokkop to the top of the Makhulumane Gorge.The viewsfrom the area both over Natal and the big 'Berg were spectcular. We then de scended into the gorge to Ihebana cottage where our backup vehicle was and where we were to spend the last night.All in all it was a great hike through some beauti ful countryside. ROD DE VILLIERS m m ■ OUTREACH The Outreach programme continued to develop within the college and the Christian spirit was manifested in a host ofcommunity projects undertaken by the boys. ThePost Matric groupinvolved themselves with the John Wesley school in Pinetown. The Kearsney students as sisted these pupils with tutoring in the afternoons as well as assisting in sports coaching. The 5th Form group were involved with the Smile pro gramme.57 boys of the form participated in the teach ing ofEnglish to young Zulu speakers.Despite the com pulsory involvement most boys enjoyed their tutoring and found pleasure in sharing their knowledge. IHMKP in.*iart •»:.J: ? H m Kearsney hosted the "end of year" Smile concert. This enjoyable afternoon of song and dance filled the Henderson hall with both spectators and participants. The Kearsney tutors had an opportunity to see the re sults of their efforts throughout the year as all the per formances were in English. The 4th form group classes had a variety of charity drives: a food collection for an orphanage, a visit to Hillcrest hospital and a street collection for Ethelbert homes. The Form 2's and 3's involved themselves with envi ronmental action, with activities ranging from cleaning cages attheSPCA to collecting treesfor Khabazela High. Pollution cleanups were also organized on a stretch of beach and in the valley below the school. The highlight of the year was the St Vincent's Orphan age Christmas party.The Kearsney pupils were asked to bring a gift to give to the orphans. Enough toys were donated to ensure each child to have a feast of goodies to eat and a clown was hired to add laughter to the fun. It was a memorable occasion. There is an infinite amount of work to be done in the larger community and it is hoped that the pupils recog nise their duty to involve themselves in this regard.It is also hoped that pupils will freely do more than the mini mum,and in so doing developethe community andthem selves. ¥. 62 Kearsney Chronicle 1994
