Foreword

Southern Africa

can be a danger in

looking at ourselves in

isolation. We can see our successes

as our success alone. We may look

at our challenges as our challenges

alone. But our successes and

challenges are not ours alone. We

belong to a big family, a family that

cares for you. What does the word

Maristmean to you when you speak

of the St Henrys Marist Family? You

belong to a family of five schools in

South Africa. The schools all have

a similar uniform saying proudly

to those who see us: We are all

members of the same family. There

is much more than a uniform

unites us, there is a similar spirit.

All five schools embrace the same

five aspects of Marist education:

Presence, Family Spirit, Simplicity,

Love of Work andMarys way. These

are the values that make a school

Marist.

by Br Joe, Provincial, Marist Province of

Yet the Marist schools in South Africa

form but one part of all the Marist

schools that belong to the Marist

Province of Southern Africa. You can

be so caught up in the immediate

world around you and be unawarethat your school is but one part of

a big family of schools. We have

brother and sister schools in Angola,

Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and

Zimbabwe. All are doing their best

to make Jesus known and loved and

to live the Marist values. If you visit

any of the Marist schools around

the Province of Southern Africa you

would feel at home. Whether they

may be in the rural areas of Malawi

or Zambia or in towns in Angola they

are all try to form the students with

the same Christian values and in the

same spirit as in St Henrys.

Administratively, the Southern

African Marist Province consists of

only one fifth of Marist life on the

African continent. We belong to a

group of 4 Provinces and 1 district.

Marist presence is to be found in

20 countries of Africa, with some

450 Brothers and 5000 lay Marist

teachers working with some 58,000

children and young people. You can

see you are part of a greater family

in Africa.

And considering the world as a

whole, Marist presence is spread

over 24 Provinces and 5 districts in

79 countries. There are over 3,500

Bothers and 72 thousand Marist

Teachers and collaborators working

with over 650,000 children and

young people. These figures are not

meant to make you feel insignificantbut rather to engender a healthy

pride in being members of such a

large family.

All this is well and good, but it would

be futile if we did not follow the

dreamSt Marcellin had for his Marist

foundation. It started at the bedside

of a dying seventeen-year-old boy

who knew nothing about God. The

young priest then realised more

strongly than ever the need to make

Jesus known and loved. Our schools

and institutes might be great places

of learning but if we do not seek to

make Jesus known and loved we

have missed the point.

I know that St Henrys Marist College

works hard to keep this dreamalive

in the life of the school, as do all our

institutions around the world. Let us

celebrate being part of this Marist

Family and make the dream a reality!

Message

Of GovernorsMessage from The Chairman of The Board

St Henrys Marist College Board

of Governors are appointed by

the Marist Schools Council and

volunteer their time for a 3- year term

of service to the school.

The role of the Board is to oversee and

ensure that those charged with the

day-to-day running of the school (The

College Principal and her Management

team) are meeting the mandate of

the Marist Schools Council to provide

our learners with an education of

the highest quality in a family spirit

to prepare them for the continuous

challenge of harmonizing faith, culture

and life.

This requires effective delivery of

numerous elements from our Ethos

informed by St Marcellins Marist

values to the day-to-day maintenance

of College facilities and the strategic

agenda of the schools future growth

and development.

St Henrys Marist College over the

past year has continued to build on

its history and reputation as one of

the leading schools in Durban. We

are a proudly Catholic co-educational

school where pupils of all faiths are

welcome into a safe, supportive and

inclusive environment offering equal

opportunities to all who attend the

school.

The College has an outstanding

reputation for academic excellence

together with offering the children and

young people who attend the schoolthe opportunity to take part in and

enjoy many other activities such as music, drama and sport. The College has an

impressive record of achievement in a wide range of these activities. In all the

College does, it seeks to allow its pupils to express themselves and to develop

their talents wherever their interests lie.

The College aims to prepare its pupils to be able to contribute as fully as possible to

the world in which they will live and work. The work of the school is carried out in

a spirit of respect for the intellectual and moral integrity for the individual, respect

for others and behaviour which demonstrates tolerance and understanding. The

College is rightfully proud of the supportive and happy environment in which all

the children and young people flourish.

We are grateful to all the teaching and support staff who are essential in the aims

of the College.

St Henrys Marist College has always been proud of a unique sense of Family

and Parental involvement and contributions have been and will continue to be

essential to the College to enable it to continue its work providing the breadth of

The

opportunities to all the pupils who attend the school. Without the contributions

and support of the parents it would be impossible for the College to provide the

level of education and other activities currently on offer to all our pupils. The

Board of Governors does not take this goodwill of parents for granted and is very

grateful to everyone for their continued support. This is even more especially the

case at the moment in these difficult economic times.

Prudent financial management is a critical element of good governance and we

have an ethical responsibility to both fee paying parents and to the Colleges

legacy to manage the schools finances and administrative processes in an efficient

manner that ensures that all monies are effectively utilised for activities that

create value for learners. The Board works closely with the Colleges management

team to secure good governance of the schools finances and to meet the needs

of future growth and development.

Finally the College could not be the success that it is without the contribution of

and interaction between pupils, parents and staff. It is this unique Family Spirit

that has made the school successful in the past and will continue to make

it even more successful in the future.

The Board of Governors would like to thank everyone for their

contribution to the school community in the past and trust that you

will continue to support the school in its work in the future.

Foreword

When we talk about St Henrys: 2014 and beyond; we say that our College

is worthy, but we are also looking at how we market ourselves, improve our

must prepare them to be active contributors to our society.

Death Announcement

(1936 - 2013)

Provincial of Southern

Africa, Brother Joe Walton,

would like to announce the death

of Brother Ian Anthony Whiteford

(Religious name: Martin Xavier) to

all the communities of the Province,

relatives and friends.

Brother Martin, as he was known,

had been suffering from cancer of

the liver for about six months, the last

month of which he spent at Nazareth

House, Yeoville, Johannesburg. He

passed away peacefully at about a

quarter to six in the morning on

Thursday 10 January 2013.

Brother Martin was born on 12

October 1936 in Johannesburg.

During the Second World War, the

family moved to Cape Town, where

he attended St Josephs Marist

College in Rondebosch. He finished

his secondary schooling at the Marist

Juniorate in Hibberdene, Natal,

before going to the Postulancy and

Novitiate at Mittagong, Australia

in 1955-1956. At the scholasticate

in Pietermaritzburg, he obtained a

Bachelors degree and later secured

an Honours degree in history.

He was a great reader, having an

on-going passion for history as well

as the scriptures. Over the years, he

used his spare time to work on his

impressive stamp collection and tolearn both German and French.

His manner of speaking and writing

revealed a strong sense of belonging

to his Marist family. He was a man of

faith and prayer, and with his gentle

manner he had a positive influence

on many young pople as teacher,

boarder master, sports coach,

librarian and religious educator in

various South African Marist schools.

Those who lived with him will testify

to his sense of gratefulness: the

words thank you came unfailingly

to his lips for even the smallest of

services rendered to him.

For over 20 years, he worked on the

Marist archives, leaving for posterity

a set of very fine biographies of

virtually every Brother appointed to

South Africa since 1867. During his

final years at St Henrys in Durban,

he undertook to share his time with

the staff at the school. That initially

involved joining them for morning

tea, but quickly evolved into a far

more significant time where he

led a number of the staff in prayer

and scripture study. From time to

time, he would be invited to attend

religion classes for the younger

Brother Ian Anthony Whiteford

ones, gleefully acting the part of an

apostle or other important figure to

bring home the lesson to be learned.

His presence among the school

community was much appreciated,and a number of deeper friendships

developed in time.

When informed of his serious

condition, he asked his confreres for

prayer and expressed his gratitude

for the gift of life, indicating that he

wished no extraordinary forms of

treatment. At the farewell Mass for

Br Martin at St Henrys, the chaplain,

Father Chris Lockyer, gave him a

special blessing, saying I do not

know what the future holds for you,

but I know who holds your future.

God himself will

be with them. He

will wipe every

tear from their

eyes, and there

will be no more

death or sorrow or

crying or pain. All

these things are

gone forever.

Rev. 21:4

May his soul rest

in Peace.

Tribute to Brother Martin

Remembrance Day

11 November 2013

Martin our friend, the childrens friend, the teachers friend, the

parents friend, and now Im sure Marcellin Champagnats friend too.

How blessed we were to have had Brother Martin, this saintly role-

model as such a cardinal part of our St Henrys family . This compassionate

man had such a far reaching impact on so many of our lives.

As Edward Lorenz said in a presentation of his hypothesis to the New YorkAcademy of Science, A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules

of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, in turn moving

more molecules of air eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side

of the planet. So Brother Martin, our undercover butterfly, caused a wave of positive

energy, to move minds, hearts and souls to traverse our planet, uplifting and touching

so many troubled lives. He worked so hard to benefit others in his humble invisible

manner, never seeking accolades or praise. What a compassionate, selfless person

Brother Martin was, representing Jesus just as Marcellin Champagnat did, doing Gods

work all along his journey on earth.

One of our favourite times was when Brother Martin would unexpectedly appear

at our classroom door for a visit, he would walk around the classroom looking at

the childrens work enjoying the interaction with the children commenting on their

work and just enjoying their company. He loved stories and would have the children

entranced while he shared some of his amusing and amazing experiences with them.

These memorable visits are sorely missed, although we know that his legacy will never

fade!

Our Prep school secretary, Mrs Ludlow shared with me how she cannot bring herself

to delete Brother Martins email address from her contacts, feeling his presence and his

ongoing work for God all around, in our Marist community.

It is quite fitting that as I randomly opened one of the many inspirational books thathe so generously shared with us, the page fell open on the chapter of Simplicity. Yes

truly a simple, humble man who God had chosen so wisely for work done beyond the

call of duty.

I will leave you with these simple words that remind us of our humble friend, Brother

Martin:

Here I am Lord, is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night

I will go Lord, if you lead me

I will hold your people in my heart.

Tribute to Brother Martin

Remembrance Day

11 November 2013

as a staff at St Henrys had the privilege of having Brother

Martin retire in Durban. Well I use the term retire, loosely,

Br Martin, continued to work on the Marist Archives well into his retirement.

The first thought that came to mind when we were asked to share our

memories of Brother Martin, was his incredible humility, and I think anyone

coming into contact with him would agree. He was a simple, godly man.

Another special attribute was his wonderful sense of humour. He loved

sharing a joke with us and also loved being teased. I think this can be summed

up in this excerpt from an email he sent me, very near his end. Oh Tammy,

you are supposed to be keeping me alive and I nearly died laughing, reading

the email you sent me about those elderly people!

Another endearing trait in Brother Martin was his ability to connect in a

personal way to the many people he came into contact with. He developed

a close friendship with Thusi the Brothers loyal cook and housekeeper. He

told me once, that he and Thusi used to dance in the kitchen of the Brothers

House on occasion! We used to see Thusi driving Brother off to the local

supermarket for their weekly grocery shopping, where both of them would

have a good natter with other regular shoppers!

I loved sharing my books with Brother Martin. He was a voracious reader who

read all genres and he thoroughly enjoyed discussing the books we had both

read.

For a long period, he would start our staff meetings with a reflection andprayer. He went to so much trouble to prepare these and would email each

of us the reflection of that particular week.

He was so very proud of his Mother who was an accomplished pianist in her

day and would enjoy bringing us articles and pictures of her on occasion.

Brother thoroughly enjoyed sitting with the Prep School ladies in the

staffroom at most tea breaks, Thursdays excluded, that was the day of the

week when he made his way down the hill, to the Junior Prep to have tea with

the teachers there. We used to joke with him saying that we were getting him

in touch with his feminine side!

Brother was always keen to join the lady staff when we went for coffee outings

and poignantly, tasted his very first cuppucino with us, on one of these forays.

In closing I would like to say what a blessing and privilege it was to have

Brother Martin in our lives, to make St Marcellin real and meaningful for us.

Marist Alumni

Association

back and listening

to stories of the

Marist Association

during the 1960s and the impact that

it had always served as an inspiration

and indeed a goal to recreate that

golden era of the Marist Association.

Whilst 2012 was definitely a year

spent wisely developing a strong

committee and establishing ourselves

as well as the Association, 2013 was

the year to begin capitalising on this

initial ground work. I feel confident

in saying that whilst a lot of work still

needs to be done that the Association

has continued its journey this year

towards being a vibrant and active

member in the life of St Henrys.

Rather than learning how to run the

Association this year the committee

has consolidated that knowledge and

begun the process of expanding into

other projects.

Before discussing the events of this

year it would be remiss of me not

to thank those who have dedicated

so much of their time to the Marist

Association.

Firstly to my committee; it has been long journey to get this far and I look

forward to continuing this journey with you. Thank you for your time, patience,

determination and faithful service to the Association and the school at large; you

are truly the unsung heroes. Dominique Bruwer, or St Dominique, has been an

amazing blessing to the Association and has often provided many of the miracles

which have allowed our events to run as well as they have. Dominique, you

have gone above and beyond the duties of a secretary and I and the rest of the

committee are eternally grateful for all that you do and the burden you lift from

our shoulders. I also cannot forget to thank Daniel Bruwer who not only allows us

to steal so much of Dominiques time but has also assisted us greatly during this

year and who we consider an honourable old boy.

Finally a massive thank you to all the parents, staff and of course past pupils

who have assisted us throughout the year. Thank you for your time, support and

dedication, we are forever in your debt and we do what we do so as to create an

even better St Henrys for us all.

2013 saw the continuation of St Paddys and hopefully better support in 2014 will

really allow this to turn into a more effective fundraiser, although we will nevercomplain about hosting a good party. Our dinner overall was a success despite

two blackouts and the prospect of warm beers. Thank you to everyone who

assisted and attended as well as our guest speaker John Allan who exceeded our

expectations.

The Marist Golf Day which saw the Marist Association and St Henrys joining forces

and running a very successful Golf Day with a full field of golfers and R40 000

being raised for the Association and the School was also a highlight and a return

to the form of previous Golf Days.

We are still a long way from our goal but with the experience of two solid years

behind us and the growing momentum of another successful year, the MaristAssociation is set to make great strides towards its goal of being an active and

vibrant Association and placing itself so as to best assist and grow the school

which moulded us into who we are and to which we will always consider our

home.

St Patricks Day

Alumni Dinner

Saturday, 16 March 2013

Friday, 7 June

This is the second year running that the Marist Association

has organized a St Paddys Night Party featuring the famous

tone-deaf Stoned Blarneys choir consisting of Old Boys and

some Hon. Old Boys of dubious musical ability. This year, the

event was held on Saturday 16th March and was lled with fun

and entertainment for the whole family. It is hoped that this

will become a new tradition and will kick-off the year as the

opening fundraiser for the Marist Association.

The Marist Alumni Association held its Annual Dinner on

Friday, 7 June at St Henrys. The dinner was reasonably

well attended and despite two black-outs the evening ran

smoothly. Former South African and Scottish National rugby

player John Allan was a massive hit as our guest speaker

and thanks to him for attending. We would also like to thank

everyone who was able to attend the evening and support

us, as well as the school for their support.

Deaths

Mr Mark Terblanche

St Henrys Marist Brothers College staff member January

1992 April 2008.

Message from Paul Venter:

Good Morning boys and girls,

Most of you will not know me and I know that most ofyou will not remember Mr Terblanche who died recently,

but I believe that what I am about to say needs to be said.

St Henrys is not like other schools in our city. Its not like

other schools because it is a Marist Brothers school and

that means that the staff who worked or work here are

different.

They are men and women who were and are called to be

fully present to their pupils. In other words they are called

to engage with the human spirit that makes up the pupil

body. Marist teachers, admin staff, coaches and cleaners,

every single day live St Marcellins call to love each child.

Love is hard and at times it is demanding but the men

and women who nurture your minds and souls every day

do just that.

Mark Terblanche was one of those special souls who

cared for and loved every pupil who he either taught

or coached. He had a gift that enabled him to heal the

hurting and lift up the pupil that was struggling with life.

His smile was as wide as our Lords outstretched arms

on the cross. The reality is that there are so many staff

members like him that have worked and are working

at this school. You as pupils will leave this place but the

spirit of Mr Terblanche and others like him will stay on.

Your staffs words and deeds are imbued into the very

bricks of St Henrys and I urge you to just reflect on the

selfless service that these men and women have given

so that you are able to be formed within the values of St

Marcellin.

God Bless you all

ClubVenture Zip-line

The Annual Management Conference, which is normally held at the end

of August, started off with a difference this time! We spent the first day atClubVenture (near Ballito) with some team building exercises. The old and

young, the fit and not so fit, the brave and not so brave all overcame their fears

and thoroughly enjoyed a few hours zip-lining over the stunning landscape.

After accomplishing this feat, all were re-energised to face the challenges and

many tasks which required work in the two days which followed.

the day dressed-up and walked with the children. It was also lovely to

see staff bringing their young children to take part in the day.
