Achievements & Activities 2013/2014 continued

• It has been a big year for Girls’ Football at Repton. The U18 team reached the semi-final of the ISFA Cup and the U15 team won the prestigious ISFA South-East 7s Tournament. Maud

Davies (U6A) captained the ISFA Midlands team. She was joined in the team by Lili Kettlewell (U6M), Jessica Czink (L6A) and

Mary Hunter (5G).

• Patrick Carey (3P) made his England U15 fencing debut in

March, whilst Felix Swinbank (L6O) (England) and Hannah Walsh (U6F) and Hannah Boyle (5M) (both Wales) continued their international fencing representation. Jessica Richardson (3G) won a silver medal at the National Judo Finals for Schools, and was selected to compete for the BJC National Junior Team in the

U18 category at an international event in Belgium in May.

• In Athletics Amelia Swaby (L6G) has broken the Senior Girls’ 400m record; Cyril Chukwumah (4N) has broken the Junior

Boys’ 100m record and the Senior Girls’ 4x100m relay team consisting of Georgina Whitehouse (U6M), Flora Peel (L6F),

Amelia Swaby (L6G) and Lilie Lamacraft (L6G), broke a ten-yearold school record.

• In Cross Country, this year has seen an increase in the number of runners competing at England Schools’ level with a female runner in every age group: Fenella Scutt (3G), Hermione Wright (4G) and Ella Nicholson (U6F). Hermione also competed at the

Inter Counties with Olivia Mair (5F). Fenella also broke the Junior

Girls’ Steeplechase record by 24 seconds. • For the first time in the School's history, the U15 Boys' tennis team comprising Dominic Lea (5S), Joe Cook (5C), Roddy

Freeman (5C) and James Finnigan (5N) reached the AEGON

National Finals, where they finished a creditable 4th overall: 650 schools had originally entered the competition. Our U15A Boys' team were undefeated throughout the entire year in the interschool fixtures. The Boys’ senior team qualified for the National

Finals (Glanville Cup) again in 2013 and finished in the top 12 schools. Lois Elsom and Marina Akasaka (U6G) won the ISTA plate event in 2013 held at Eton. Four current elite tennis players have represented their county throughout the year at U18 level:

Dominic Lea (5S) (Cambridge); Joseph Cook (5C) (Leicestershire);

Daniel Earp (5N) (Derbyshire) and Elizabeth Allwood (3A) (Leicestershire).

• The senior Boys’ 1st team was undefeated throughout the summer season in the inter-school fixtures. Played 6 won 6.

• In November 2013, the School entered into a partnership with

Michael Johnson Performance to deliver its new Athletic

Development Programme. This programme is the first of its type in the UK and has featured in the national and regional press.

Cricket

After the exceptional success of 2013 where the school won what is believed to be the most games ever in a season (15), following that act was always going to be tough. A very respectable set of results, with only three losses from 14 games played, showed again that Repton competes exceptionally well on the Midlands circuit.

Runs did not flow as freely from the top order as in recent years but James Nijjar (C), Elliot Hibell (O) and Charlie Bell (P) made major contributions. With the ball Jack Wilkins (S) led the wicket haul with 24 and 5-19 against MCC as we bowled them out for a rare low score.

With the MCC win being one of this year's highlights, other stand-out performances came in wins over Trent College, Oakham, KES Birmingham and Free Foresters. There was a reintroduction of 2-day cricket as we played Derbyshire U17s in the last week of term, with honours shared at the end of the 2 days after a great second day recovery from the school. Sam Cotter (S) was crowned the 98th winner of The John Howell Bat, a fitting acknowledgment for his outstanding commitment over his four years in the team.

The 1st XI Captain for 2014/15 will be James Nijjar, who returns for his fourth year in the team, having kept wicket since he was an U15. He will be joined by a strong squad, with competition for places high. We look forward to seeing the OR supporters on the boundary's edge in 2015.

Careers

Can you tell the difference between a Titan and a Mars Bar?” That was one of the “Taste Test” questions posed by Suzie Chamberlain (A’02), first inner-city store manager for Aldi in London, to a group of Reptonians at this year’s Lower Sixth Careers Forum in June!

A distinctive feature of this year’s event was the fact that all fourteen delegates were Old Reptonians, a point highlighted by the Headmaster, when he addressed pupils and delegates at the conclusion of the evening in the Garth.

The range of occupations and professional expertise represented was highly impressive – Equity research (Jonathan Ackerley, S’04), retailing (Suzie Chamberlain), engineering (Andrew Churchill, P’82), scientific research (Kate Dixon, A’91), management consultancy (Anna Driver, F’02), architecture (Sophie Griffiths, F’03), the arts (Charlotte Nunn, A’01), business management (Michael Preston, N’01), medicine (Doctors Charlotte and Rachel Smith, A’02), journalism (Victoria Smith, A’00), accountancy (Rick Steele, P’94), law (Rosemary Stefaniuk, M’03) and international business (Michael Stones, O’04).

Unsurprisingly, discussion continued well beyond the formal sessions into the gathering in the Garth afterwards, and during the dinner generously hosted at the Hall for delegates and selected pupils by the Headmaster and Mrs Holroyd. The format of the Forum was viewed as particularly useful by the pupils, and overall the evening was judged extremely valuable. Grateful thanks are due to all the Old Reptonians who gave their time so generously to chair sessions.

Some of the ORs who participated have been among those who have offered work experience to current pupils. Andrew Churchill has, for instance, regularly taken potential engineers for a week’s placement in his engineering business. Our thanks go also to Rick Steele, Charlotte Nunn, Kate Dixon and Tom Williams (S’95), veterinary science, who have offered advice and experience in their various professional fields. We are also very grateful to Josh Webster (N’04), John Harvey (O’64) and Charles Perrera (L’08), who have contributed to our careers programme this year by giving illuminating presentations, sharing their insights and experience with the current generation of Reptonians. And the answer to that burning question? The Headmaster sportingly participated in the ‘blind’ taster competition confessing himself unable to discern any difference between the two products!!

As ever, all offers to help with the careers programme will be gratefully received by the Head of Careers Melissa Blain (mjb@repton.org.uk). Please do not hesitate to contact her if you feel you can be of any assistance

Dreamland School, Ghana

The journey to Dreamland’s began from Repton in the early hours of the morning. After a coach ride to Birmingham airport we flew to Amsterdam; the first leg of our flight to Ghana. We reached the Ghanaian capital late in the night and arrived at the tranquil ‘Paradise Inn’ in Accra in the dead of night where we crashed for a few hours of much needed rest.

Very early next morning the group made their way on to our retro ‘tour bus’ . Then Mr Francis, our trusty bus-driver-comebodyguard-and-translator, drove us for over eight hours to Dreamland School.

We reached the school while the pupils were in their afternoon lessons but the students were eager to come and greet us. Pastor James Dugger, after whom the Dreamland Society is named and Mr Ambrose, the headmaster of the school, welcomed us warmly in their traditional manner. Firstly, they sat us down in a circle of chairs and shook our hands in greeting, followed by an offer of water, a traditional welcome in Ghana. This, I believe was quite an effective summary of the generosity of the Ghanaian people, as it was immediately obvious that however little they themselves owned, they would always offer that which they have to others.

Pastor James was an incredibly inspirational man his warmth to each of us was astounding and his love for the school was apparent both in his presence and in the story of his founding of the school, with the initial school consisting of a set of

children being taught by Pastor James under a tree in the village.

Mr Ambrose, too, was a very warm-hearted man. He has a very clear view on what the future of Dreamland’s should be.He showed great pride in his presentation of his students to us in the cultural sharing afternoon on the first day, which included music, drama and poetry and he also took a lead role in organising the Repton team’s participation in lessons, which included observing and teaching.

In the observation of the Dreamland’s classes, the Repton pupils learnt a great deal about the differences in teaching between the two schools. The dusty classrooms themselves are an obvious contrast to the state of the art Lecture Theatre we are so lucky to have now, for example. However, the enthusiasm of the children to learn and their appreciation of education is astounding. Even their characteristic rhythmic clapping which is heard after every correct answer adds a splash of excitement which is not always possible to find in Repton classrooms.

We also had the opportunity to teach some of the school’s classes in pairs which was another great experience for all of the team. Some tackled the tough challenge of biology, whereas others focused on British traditions which the Ghanaian students found interesting to learn about. This time also allowed some time for the pupils of Dreamland’s to reply to letters from their Repton counterparts; a wonderful opportunity for current Reptonians to get a feel for life at Dreamland.

Time was also spent at the school on a rainy day, during which the team inventively amused the Dreamland pupils who had journeyed to school despite the weather (those who live further away would usually stay at home). Some played catch, for example, whilst others danced with the children or played traditional Ghanaian games. A constant football game occurred throughout the day as lessons were called off, and the whole team, including Miss Davison (a great aerial threat), took part.

In our time with the children, we also took an afternoon out of their lessons to take them on what was only, the second school trip to a nearby waterfall. The pupils of who came seemed to enjoy the excursion immensely and took much pleasure in soaking the fully clothed Reptonians and forcing us to join them under the great cascade of water.

We were also at the school at the weekend while the pupils were at home and we used this time to make some improvements to the school itself. Miss Davison and Mrs Nield started the day by drawing some brilliant cartoon animals on the walls which the rest of us then helped to paint. By the end of the day, a duck, a pig, a giraffe and many other animals were visible on the walls of the Junior High School and pristine new white goalposts had also been erected.

As well as spending an amazing time with the children at Dreamlands, we were also lucky enough to experience some of the culture in Ghana. On the first weekend we attended the service at Father Ambrose’s church. As soon as we walked in, we could all tell that this was going to be nothing like chapel at school. The service started with a collection of songs, sung by a young local woman. Her voice was amazing, powerful enough to fill the whole church, which held well over 300 people, all of whom were clapping and dancing, swaying to the rhythm, and enjoying every second of the beautiful song. Then the sermon began and the audience was engrossed by every word. We found this was very different culturally to church services in England; in Ghana there was no unwritten rule that you had to be quiet during the service. If you agreed with a particular line in the blessing, you would show your support by cheering or something similar. After the sermon, the singing and dancing started again. The men went up to the front first, swaying and dancing as they went. It was a huge honour to be invited up on stage to perform our own song to the entire congregation. Andrew led the performance and we sang ‘Let It Be’; the atmosphere in the church definitely added new life to our previously half-hearted singing and the Ghanaian congregation really enjoyed it! Seeing them all embracing our song so enthusiastically is definitely a memory that we will never forget. Before we left, we played with the little children that attended the church, making bracelets and face painting. It is amazing how something as small as this created such big smiles on all their faces. The next day we travelled to a remote village to visit a monkey sanctuary. We had a tour of the forest and saw the monkey graveyard, (it is a local tradition to give each monkey a human burial), which had a somewhat mysterious feel to it. The monkeys loved the fact that we had brought bananas and nuts for them. On our journey to the coast, we stopped at a primary school in Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana. What was remarkable about this school was that a family had opportunities locally, decided that, due to the lack of education they would convert their house into a school. The ‘school’ itself was a maze of rooms and each one was packed with adorable children in matching uniforms. It would be lovely in the future if Repton could develop the relationship with this school further.

One of the most shocking parts of our trip to Ghana was visiting Elmina Slave Castle. Despite its beautiful location with views over the sea and the fishing village, there was a sombre feeling when we entered the grand castle in which so many horrific events had taken place. The site itself was huge and this fort had been the largest deportation place of slaves in Africa. The information the tour guide told us about the practices that occurred there was unimaginable and I know that it shocked every single one of us.The lasting memory for everyone, though, is that of the school itself. Just four years into its relationship with Repton, the progress has been enormous. The Junior High School is due to be completed within the next month (and Repton has singlehandedly built this) with the option to extend the building with an additional floor; the library continues to be one of the most well-stocked rooms in the surrounding area with further work set to continue on this. Two of the staff at Dreamland have begun their teacher training (again funded by Repton) and there are plenty of plans to provide further investment into the school and the local area. Furthermore, we have been able to provide twenty bicycles for the students and staff who have to travel up to five miles (on foot) just to get to school. It is amazing how much difference just a small amount can make.

If anyone would like more information on how to make a donation to the school, the trip or the project itself, then please email Nick Crombie (nc@repton.org.uk). NC

South Africa - Joel Mitchell (U6N)

Last night I attended a talk by Andrew Churchill, an OR who came to give us a talk on how to make the most of our U6th year. One of the most prevalent themes of his talk was that of comfort zones and how in order to make the most of our education and our lives in general we sometimes need to step out of our comfort zones. I felt this talk rang true to me considering the trip to Cape Town, South Africa from which I had returned a week earlier…

I had intended to go out to SA on my own for six weeks where I would be coaching hockey for ten to twenty hours each week at the local prep school while improving my own hockey by playing for one of the most successful hockey clubs in SA. However, like many things in life, it wasn’t meant to be! After two weeks of shoddy accommodation, little to no food (meaning pizza at the local pub was the only substantial meal I had each day), 3 hours of coaching the U9 D team and playing with the 4th team, and no means of communicating with my family while at my accommodation, I had finally decided I had had enough. Using the half hour of free wifi each day at the local McDonalds, I discussed with my parents the possibility of catching the next flight home! Luckily, we came to the agreement that if they could find another place in Cape Town that would take me then I would give it a try. After several companies turning me down for not yet being eighteen years old, I was finally accepted onto a eighteen day volunteer placement with SAVE (South African Volunteer Experience). So, that Friday I headed once again back to Cape Town International Airport where I was going to be picked up and taken to what to me was a completely unknown destination to a programme in which I had no idea what I would be doing. I was driven from the airport to my new residence at a Volunteer House (Vol House) alongside two new volunteers, two stunning twenty-one year old Scandinavian girls. The trip was already looking up! When we arrived at the Vol House we were met by a frantic and sleep-deprived group of staff, as the Vol House had been broken into the previous night and three of the group had lost almost all they owned. This was my first situation in which I heard the most commonly used phrase of the following two weeks, “TIA” which stands for “This is Africa” . This was also to be uttered when my jacket was stolen and on my last day when another volunteer was held at knifepoint and had her phone taken..

I went on to meet the rest of the volunteers, who came from every corner of the globe: Holland, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Spain, USA, Denmark, Norway, Iceland… the list goes on. Over the course of the programme I would make some of the closest friends I have ever known despite the fact I was the youngest there by four years and the oldest volunteer there was thirty eight years older than me! I started work on the Monday at Skandaalkamp on the outskirts of Cape Town, which is a forgotten settlement built on top of a rubbish dump. You can tell when you are getting near to Skandaal due to the overwhelming smell, which always took a few minutes to become accustomed to each morning. The settlement is made up of around two hundred families, who have no access to water and many only have the clothes on their back. Many of the kids who couldn’t afford to come to the school or who were too old didn’t own any shoes, but would play football on the dust track which was littered with glass and other sharp objects. Needless to say I spent a lot of my time helping to patch up kids’ feet which were cut and sliced open, despite the fact none of us had had medical training, since there was no other option. This is just one example of many things I had to do which were out of my comfort zone, but I didn’t even have to think twice about doing it due to the situation I was in.

Throughout the two weeks I would work both with the babies, who were two and under as well as in the older kids’ room, who were three to eight years old. One of the main difficulties was the fact that for many English was their second or even third language with Corsa or Afrikaans taking precedent, which made our already difficult job much harder. We would also help to feed the children as otherwise they would begin to fight if they were left to feed themselves, as food was hard to come by. One of the most incredible things about working there was the fact that when the kids did come into school, most of them were always smiling and laughing despite the fact that most of them hadn’t eaten since lunch the previous day or hadn’t slept the previous night. An example of this is a kid whom I adored (despite him being one of the naughtiest kids) called ‘Melky’ who was a constantly happy child, always hugging and laughing, even though he had the worst scalp infection they had ever seen due to his parents using a dirty razor to shave his head and as I find out after I had left he and his mother had been suffering physical abuse from his father, a drug addict. (Melky was recently removed from the settlement with permission from his mother to stay with SAVE while they pursue legal action against his father). During my stay I also visited Table Mountain and Robben Island and saw where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated, as well as the most visited place in all of Africa, the V&A Waterfront which is a giant shopping centre!

It was one of the most emotional goodbyes I have ever had to make when I left the Vol House and the incredible group of people that had helped me to leap outside of my comfort zone with no regret. I have been and will continue to stay in contact with many of them and hope to visit some of them in the near future, with visits to Denmark, Italy and Holland all in the pipeline. I am also keeping up to date with the goings on in Skandaalkamp and plan to put it forward as the recipient of the Lent Term Charity donations from New House as well as from any other houses I can convince.

Despite all the ups and downs, the 5 weeks I spent in SA changed my understanding and approach to the world around me and life in general and I wouldn’t have changed a thing, except maybe to have stayed out there longer!

Dear Editor Thank you for publishing the School Orchestra Concert Programme in the last issue of The Arch. As it so happens, I have two photos of that very concert! In the photo labelled Concert 1, Michael Salter could be seen conducting, with David Hadwin as the leader. The boy with the glasses and white shirt playing the clarinet at the back is D J Cownie (O'73), and W H D Auden (O'72) and J P Atkins (O'73) are the other clarinettists on the left. P M A Stokes (H'73) is playing the oboe. The one at the piano is myself.

Alfred Cheng (O’75) Williamson ) is that of my brother, John R Dunk (O’59).

In the second, I really enjoyed Rick Scott’s memorial of Giles Barker (C’69). Giles took me climbing on Stanage Edge when at University in Sheffield, a terrifying experience for someone as unathletic as I. I remember his quirky humour as I struggled and stumbled up a route called “Amazon Crack” . It would be nice to be able to say that this was the most difficult route ever (it seemed so to me), but in fact it is relatively easy. Giles’ literary contribution should be remembered, as he wrote the historical section of one of the Stanage guide books. I remember a friend John, Oldroyd, (sometime maser of Lancaster Grammar School), telling me, in impressive terms, of Giles ascent of a new route called “Black Magic” at Stanage.

It is nice to see Giles’ interesting life remembered in Rick Scott’s piece about him.

Yours sincerely

David Dunk (O’67)

Dear Editor The running-out of the young England batsman, Jos Buttler, in the One-Day International by Sri Lanka for backing up too far at the bowler’s end reminds me only too vividly of a similar incident in the annual two-day cricket match between Repton and Malvern at Repton in 1955.

The circumstances were as follows: as I recall, the scores in the first innings were approximately level, but when Malvern batted again they forged ahead, thanks mainly to an aggressive innings from one of the Malvern opening batsmen. In the course of his innings, he started to advance illegally down the wicket before the ball was bowled, and despite warnings from both the umpire and myself as Repton captain, he persisted. With the score mounting at an alarming rate assisted by a number of short singles, I turned to the experienced umpire who regularly officiated in the Birmingham League to seek advice as to what to do. “Run ‘im out, lad !” came the blunt reply, and this we proceeded to do at the start of the next over. The Repton bowler at the time happened to be John Sale (C’50), a close relation of the redoubtable Dick Sale (M’33) who was sitting with fellow members of staff in the pavilion. On witnessing the incident he was alleged to have turned to his collegues with the comment : “Of course he’s no relation of mine!”

The Malvern X1 were furious at this turn of events, not least their captain, Ian MacLaurin, now Lord MacLaurin of Knebworth and a former Chairman of Tesco and Vodaphone and the MCC, and currently a very respected and successful Chairman of the Malvern College Council. Wickets started to tumble and the whole situation of the game changed in Repton’s favour. However, the game ended in a draw which perhaps, in the circumstances, was the best for all concerned! Probably the happiest aspect of this whole rather unfortunate affair was the comment made to me by Peter Hatch, the Malvern batsman involved, after the game had finished. He told me that he had got into this bad habit at the crease in House Dear Editor Two recent letters in The Arch have prompted me to write. In the first Andrew Williamson asked for the gaps in the photo of the Chapel Choir in 1959 to be filled in. The figure second from the far right of the front row (ie next to Andrew

matches at Malvern and he had never been checked, and he had now learned his lesson, and I am convinced he was not deliberately trying to cheat.

I believe we were fully justified in taking the action we did, but our big mistake, for which I accept full responsibility, was not to demonstrate clearly to players and spectators alike by holding the ball above the bails with the batsman out of his crease for all to see. Happily, Repton-Malvern relations, though considerably strained at the time, were not permanently damaged, and as a Governor of Malvern College, I have had many a chuckle with Lord MacLaurin over the incident!

Dear Sirs It was kind of you to forward me a card on my 90th birthday. I entered the school in May 1938, just at the time that Goodbye Mr Chips was to be staged at Repton. I saw the film again on TV recently and it brought back many memories of the time then. Other memories are:-

a) Sale and Laing opened the batting for the school. Coming from my prep school they looked like County players to me. b) Miss Todd was Matron in charge of the

Sanatorium

c) Frank Fisher was Head prefect and captain of cricket but could not play as he had broken his wrist

d) Mr A.P.Singleton was my first form master

As I read The Arch from time to time there have been colossal changes. The advent of girls to the school I think has been a very enlightened move.

At the ago of 90 I feel a little like old Mr Chips at the end. May the school continue to prosper.

James Heslop (L’38) Dear Editor, I am writing to you about John Thorn who will be 90 next April (2015). I am sure many ORs of my generation would like to wish him well and wonder if you could mention this in The Arch this autumn?

Mr Thorn came to Repton in 1961, about halfway through my time in the school. In his excellent autobiography Road to Winchester he well describes the misgivings which so many of us had about the school's management under his predecessor Lynam Thomas and he strove to make Repton a better place. In this he did not get much support from the staff who had known nothing else but the austere regime of fagging, corporal punishment, and compulsory games. Academic aims were also uninspiring. So they considered he was far too intellectual for a school like Repton.

John Thorn left in 1968 to become headmaster of Winchester, which no doubt suited him a lot better, but I certainly remember him with much respect and affection and hope some good wishes may be sent to him in the forthcoming edition.

May I thank you and your colleagues for the great work you do running the O.R. office and keeping us so well informed. With my personal best wishes for the future.

Yours sincerely, Peter Holden (H’59)

Dear Editor I recently went on a walking holiday along the Route Saint Jacques in northern Spain with a group of fifteen fellow ramblers. We walked from Leon to Santiago de Compostela, the final destination of the route being Santiago Cathedral. On arrival at the Cathedral, I offered to read the lesson in English at the Pilgrims’ Mass. The request was immediately accepted; I read “Naboth’s Vineyard” , 1 Kings, to a congregation of eight hundred pilgrims from all over the world. With very best wishes to the school

Anthony Turner (H’68) Dear Editors The chemistry master referred to by Alexander Sparks, Stephen Unwin and Dougal Philip in your last two issues was Mr Mawer, not Maw.

James Mawer taught at Repton from 1941 to 1954. Apart from his teaching he was master i/c swimming and many ORs will remember him as the unfailingly- present supervisor of the long jump in both Sports and Standards. In 1953 he was taken seriously ill and died on December 27th, 1954, having continued teaching to within ten days of his death. He was only 44.

However, I agree with Dougal that it is his father, George Philip, and not Mr Mawer in the photograph of the O R Dinner. I have ideas about some of the other faces, but the only one I am sure of is B C Harbury sitting between Dick Sale and Guy Willatt. I think Len Cattley (then Housemaster of The Priory) is sitting at the head of one of the tables to the middle left.

There seems to be doubt about the date of the dinner. There were no dinners during the war and the first post-war one was in 1946, held at the Connaught Rooms with over 150 attending; there was also an attendance of over 150 at the second also at the Connaught Rooms in 1947. The 1948 dinner was cancelled owing to the appeal made by the Government that dinners and banquets should only be held when in the public interest. It was, however, reinstated when those restrictions were lifted, but Archbishop Fisher was not present, as he obviously is in the picture. So the photograph was taken either in 1946 or 1947. (The 1949 dinner was at Repton.)
