Grey reaching out 7 September 2014 09:09
During the past two weeks the school focused on its social responsibility towards the local community and reached out towards various individuals and organisations through various projects. During this year's music festival the school not only invited some of Bloemfontein's senior citizens from various retirement villages for a light supper prior to the show on the Thursday evening's dress rehearsal but also invited individuals who are less privileged in terms of their mental capacity from the Free State Residential Care Centre. The Thursday evening show was a wonderful occasion and it was a privilege to let these members of our community experience the joy of and share in the 2014 Grey College FNB music festival.
Baie is die afgelope ruk van die sogenaamde "Ice Bucket Challenge" op die sosiale netwerke gemaak. Hierdie inisiatief het sy oorsprong in Amerika en uitdagings word aan individue gerig om 'n emmer koue yswater op hulself uit te gooi ten einde die aandag op die Lou Gehrig-siekte, of "A.L.S." te vestig. Nie net is meer as $100 miljoen al deur hierdie inisiatief ingesamel nie maar beide individue en maatskappye ondersteun hierdie veldtog wêreldwyd. Nadat die sangeres, Nadine, tydens die musiekfees aan die yswater uitdaging deelgeneem het, en my daarna uitgedaag het om dieselfde te doen, het ek dit goed gedink om nie net die uitdaging te aanvaar nie maar ook ons eie Joost van der Westhuizen, wat aan 'n ongeneeslike motor-neuron-siekte ly, se J9-organisasie in die proses te ondersteun. Hierdie organisasie het ten doel om geld in te samel vir individue wat aan hierdie ongeneeslike siekte, wat die sentrale senuweestelsel aanval, ly, en waarvan oud-Springbok rugbyspelers Joost van der Westhuizen en Thinus Linee maar enkele voorbeelde is. Dit het ook ten doel om fondse beskikbaar te stel vir navorsing om meer van motor-neuron-siektes te wete te kom.
So last Friday I took up the "Ice Bucket Challenge" in front of the Old Bell at school but what is more important to me is that money is also raised and donated towards one of these worthy causes. I am, therefore, very pleased to say that Grey College donated R1000.00 towards the J9 Foundation and the school also challenged our traditional rivals namely Selborne College (East-Londen), Grey High School (Port Elizabeth), Paul Roos Gymnasium (Stellenbosch), Paarl Boys High (Paarl), Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool (Pretoria), Glenwood High School (Durban) as well as Maritzburg College (Pietermaritzburg) to also donate a R1000.00 towards the J9 Foundation. I would, however, like to extend this challenge to some of the local schools here in Bloemfontein namely Sentraal Hoërskool, Eunice Secondary as well as Oranje Meisieskool.
Die afgelope Vrydag is Loslit Dag op nasionale vlak gevier en die Grey-seuns, asook Grey-personeel, het ook hierdie wonderlike veldtog ondersteun. Ek is baie trots om te sê dat die skool oor die R8000.00 gedurende die dag ingesamel het en die geld is verlede Vrydag aan verteenwoordigers van die plaaslike Tswelang Skool vir gestremdes oorhandig. Dit was wonderlik gewees om drie kinders van die skool by Grey-Kollege te verwelkom en een seun, wat aan 'n rolstoel gekluister is, se droom is om eendag 'n vlieënier te word! 'n Mens kan net hoop dat hierdie droom wel verwesenlik sal word.
During assembly on the Friday before the Paul Roos inter-schools weekend two Old Greys, namely Ollie le Roux and Ian Grobler, visited the school and addressed the boys. Ian Grobler's message was that the Grey boys must develop a siege mentality and that this is not only applicable to hockey, where one must always take control of the channel in front of one, but also to life. With the mini examinations, for the grade 8-11 boys at hand, and the grade 12's who have already started with their Trial Examinations, this message is also applicable to the academic opportunities on offer here at school. Ollie le Roux spoke about maintaining high standards here at Grey College and that one must never compromise. Once again, this message can be applied to the academic opportunities that are now a reality with the term nearing its end.
