23 This page is sponsored by: Khupe Group of Companies GILLINGHAM This group has been exceptional and have done the house proud. Nic Bar tlett and his prefects have led the house with distinction and have created an environment in which everyone was able to flourish. Nic earned respect with his positive and humble approach to leadership and it has been a privilege to work with him. The success of the house has mirrored our matric group’s willingness to utilise all that the College has offered them this year. It was our privilege to once again supply the College with a head boy: Murray McDougall, who provided an excellent example to young aspiring leaders.We also supplied the head of Hayley: Murray Polkinghorne, who guided the grade 8s during their first year at the College. We improved academically this year and produced some excellent results. Nicol Pirow was Dux Scholar and Murray Polkinghorne was Proxime Accessit. On the spor ting front we again had Brett Walsh achieving in swimming and numerous boys playing first team sport. Culturally, a large number of boys were in the choir as was particularly evident during the inter-house music where we gave stellar performances in all categories. Most boys were left wondering just what we have to do to claim the elusive music prize. We were also represented with aplomb in the play festival: Nic Bartlett and Matthew Boshoff co-wrote and directed the pay which took top honours. In closing I would like to thank the duty staff who tirelessly manage their duty days so efficiently and effectively. Gillingham It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to a wonderful group of matric boys. I look forward to seeing next year’s matric body build on the solid foundation laid by the class of 2011 It makes my job so much smoother. It is with a heavy hear t that we bid farewell to Dean Moodley, the longest member of the Gillingham team, who will not be doing duties next year and we welcome Cameron Buys, a former Gillingham head of house, onto the duty staff. To my longsuffering wife and family, thank you for your sacrifice and suppor t – it means a great deal to me. I look forward to seeing next year’s matric body build on the solid foundation laid by the class of 2011, and am excited by the bright future that I see before us. Myles Delport
