NEWS OF PAST PUPILS
RAY HOPKINS (1951) passed away on July
7th after a long illness. His wife, Cynthia, says
that they met at Cambridge when they were
both fifteen and married when they were 22
and so shared 62 years together! Ray’s
parents, Albert and Lilian, also met at
Cambridge, as did Ray’s brother, Reg, and
his wife, Lorraine Heger. Cynthia is living in
Port Elizabeth.

BERTIE LE ROUX (1976) is an engineer
based in Gonubie and owner of Daygra
Alternate Power Solutions. He designed and
installed a solar-powered pool heating system
for Stirling Primary, which saves the school
R1,641.00 a month and keeps the water at 27
degrees. He designs at home with blunt
pencils, a lot of basic maths, a laptop and
heavy 1970s rock ‘n roll!
GRANT LARTER (1993) has spent the last
six years in Bangkok, where he is head
teacher at a British International Programme
School. He has travelled a lot in south-east
Asia, but misses South Africa, which he still
considers to be home.

professional engineer, a project management
professional, a member of the SA Institute for

ROXSANNE (SPENCER) SLATFORD (2002)
is pictured with David Hasselhoff earlier on.
She explains: David came in to perform on
our Morning Show and he brought his
girlfriend, Hayley, along. I never thought that
this little girl from East London would have
the Hoff singing to her one day! Roxsanne
has worked with West Life, Peter André, Lulu
and Gok Wan, to name but a few celebrities
who would be known in South Africa.
