G.A.P Year News
The G.A.P. students spent a day in the "I am Talent" workshop which is run by John Gatherer
and Jean Kilner from Catalyst Consulting and has the following objectives and approach :
* The changing VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) and its impact on
one’s life and the world of work
* The need to develop personal mastery (be the best you can be) to leverage your quest for
success
* To build self-awareness and insights about your personal profile – personality style, personal
values, thinking style, EQ and preferred team roles
* To build and develop your personal brand (strengths, abilities, potential and interests) in
differentiating yourself within a highly competitive world
The workshop launches you on a journey of personal discovery and mastery through activities,
self-assessments and self-reflection that you can apply in your everyday life and work to
achieve your personal goals and aspirations. The “I am Talent” workshops are highly
interactive and are designed to challenge your thinking, create insights, motivate you to action
and empower you to accelerate your growth and development within your work - and ultimately
enhance your quality of life.
Following from the challenging and inspiring workshop the students had a think tank and came
up with the skills, values and competencies that the Treverton G.A.P. post matriculation course
affords them. Here is what we came up with - WOW this is POWERFUL!
We believe that you can conquer anything you like if you have the right attitude.
Be the best that you can be – unleash your potential and differentiate yourself by being part of
this amazing program where continuous improvement, continuous self-assessment and
lifelong learning is encouraged.
This aiming for “Personal Mastery” will position you for life in the VUCA (volatile, uncertain,
complex and ambiguous) world where people need to adapt and position themselves for the
rapidly changing work environment.
The Treverton GAP post matriculation course equips its students with the right tools and
processes to move forward boldly, building skills that enable them to be adaptable and
comfortable in ambiguity and change.
The course provides opportunity for the new competences for the new world to be learned,
practiced and honed.
By doing this training course, and accomplishing a realm of certificates, one can take away the
following values, skills and competencies giving one the Favourable Advantage for their future
world of study and/or work:

Pre Primary News
Despite the cold weather the children at the Pre School are full of beans. Today they all
decided to dress up in our fantasy dresses, even the boys!! What fun we had!

Prep News
Our boarders had such fun this weekend. They had a fancy dress party where they had to
come dressed as their favourite characters. They then decorated the barn with balloons and
crepe paper and ended their fancy dress with a party in the barn on Saturday night.

Soccer
U10 vs New Hanover (Coach Mr B Kaschula)
We played 4 games: drew 3 and lost 1. The boys are in fine form and enjoying their soccer
tremendously!

Hockey
U11 festival (Coach: Mrs D Tanner)
The U 11 Hockey team spent a wonderful morning taking part in a hockey festival at New
Hanover on Saturday. They beat Bisley A and Atlone A. They drew with Pelham 1 - 1 and
were beaten by Pelham B 1 - 0. They girls worked well as a team and are looking forward to
their South Coast hockey tour in July.
U10 festival (Coach: Mrs M Chaperon)
On Saturday, 7 June the Under 10 Mini Hockey girls travelled to New Hanover to play in their
festival. They played four matches during the course of the morning, but unfortunately were
unable to win or draw any of these games.
As a coach I was very happy with the way in which these six girls gave of their best, they never
gave up trying, and they definatly improved with each game.
Well done to Asemahle Mthembu, Clara Steyn, Emma Fallet, Caitlyn Odell, Lara Kent
and Georgia Wilmot. I am SO proud of you!!!
College News
Solitaire
On Friday, 30 May, 12 intrepid Solitarians (three school-boys and nine Posties) headed off to
our own Treverton Wildlife Area for 48 hours of introspective solitary confinement in an area of
10 square metres, with tantalizing space all around; as much food as will fit into a match-box,
only a Bible to read; no torch; no watch... Under the unsympathetic eye of their three
Instructors.
8 of the original 12 achieved their award, so it's congratulations to: Tyrone Smith, Tino
Nhiwatiwa, Joshua Fitzroy (Joshua won the best 'Friend' competition - they have to create a
'friend from anything in their surroundings), Gareth Ramsay, Anastassia Loreggian, Natalie
Perumal, Kyle Raubenheimer (Kyle won 'Best Shelter') and Martin De Goede, on earning their
Solitaire Award.
And to James Mackie, Benjamin Stiller and Micha Stiller on doing a fine job of
supervising the novices, and in so doing, earning their Solitaire Instructor Award.

Pietermaritzburg and Midlands Youth choir performance
On Friday 6 June, the Pietermaritzburg and Midlands Youth choir entertained the College
pupils. The evening was a memorable experience - with a full programme of conventional,
classical pieces as well as a delightful contemporary African section. The College has nine
pupils in the Midlands choir, namely Nico Britz, Braam Potgieter, Jared Richardson, Mpumelelo
Ngobese, Caira Claasen, Claire McCubbin, Asanda Khumalo, Thembeka Moyo and Sarah
McLoughlin. Mpumelelo is the one of the Deputy Heads of the choir. Nico sang a beautiful
solo for us from 'Les Miserables'.

Girls Hockey
On Saturday 7th June we played 8 games against St Johns. All of the games were evenly
contested and I was proud of the determination displayed by our girls. Many of the teams have
shown significant progress in the course of the season.
Mr Hilton Pellow-Jarman
Ist team vs St Johns
This was a very exciting game and both teams put in a huge amount of effort. The week
before St John’s beat St Anne’s 2-1 and they came into the game full of confidence.
Occasionally every player in the team has a good game and this is exactly what happened on
Saturday. Many of our girls had their best game of the season and the final score was 2 -1 to
Treverton. Our first goal was scored by Bophelo Seoe and our second by Jeanne Botha. We
were put under huge pressure in the second half but managed to hang on to a win.
1st team hockey girls vs St Johns
U16A vs St Johns
U16B vs St Johns (Coach: Mrs J Bebb)
On Saturday we played our last match of the season against St Johns here on Astro. The astro
was white with frost so a good warm up was essential. With 2 of our players missing some
rearranging was necessary. At half time the score was 3 - 0 to the opposition and the girls
realised that it was essential to close down the strikers. They did this successfully and also
managed to score a goal so our end result was 3 -1. During the season we scored 13 goals
and 11 were scored against us. All in all its been a good season and the girls' hockey has
improved.
Rugby
1st team vs Clifton (Coach: Mr J Hyam)
Saturday the 7th saw a crispy cool morning welcoming the boys from Clifton, just as we had
hoped! The Treverton 1st XV boys were ready for what promised to be a great challenge.
After an intercept try and a rolling maul which could not be stopped, the Treverton boys woke
up. Scoring 9 points through the boot of Andrew Tilbury. The half time score stood at 29-9, not
a true reflection of a physical game of rugby.
The Treverton boys played hard and put a lot of attractive rugby together, but the Clifton boys
were very sharp and punished us whenever we made a mistake, converting all of their
opportunities into points.
The home side put together some great phases and scored a try through a lineout drive late in
the second half to leave the final score at 45-14.
Congratulations to Man of the Match Lungani Gumede. Good luck to the boys for the final
game of the season against Greytown on Saturday.
