ST JOHN’S - a derby highlight of the year!
Another nail biting weekend of rugby with the 1st XV beating St Johns by 27-16.
Tries by Madoda Gamede (2 tries), Katlego Kgame and Sean Sanders. Morgan Ferguson converted 2 of the tries, and succeeded with 1 penalty.
St John's took the lead but then Saints bounced right back to score and resume the lead. It was a close game then, with about 10 mins to go, Saints stamped their authority and were the deserved winners.

First Photo shows Madoda Gamede on his way to scoring his first try of the match.

ZWARTKOPS
The match against Zwartkops was one that we did not know what to expect. It is the first time Saints has played against the school from Pretoria and there was very little information on them. It was a physical encounter, with both teams not holding back. It took Saints a little while to settle down, but once they got going the score board ticked over happily for the home side to show 37-0.
Tries where scored by Grant Thomson 2,Nkuli Gamede, Cameron Smith ,Nick Hawinkels
Morgan Ferguson 4 conversions and 2 penalties.

Dear One and All
I am aware that some parents were unable to attend our annual Founders Day Service and celebrations last Saturday.  The theme this year focussed on Transformation. It is reproduced below for your information.

IPL comes to St Stithians Boys’ College
The St Stithians Oval was the venue for a friendly cricket match between some of the members of the Mumbai Indians squad and their sponsors. The sponsors team was short of players, so four of the Saints 1st XI stepped in to help out! It was a wonderful opportunity for the young cricketers to test their skills with the professional and the match was umpired by St Stithians Science teacher, Mr Barry Lambson

Gavin Hood

While visiting South Africa recently to promote 'Wolverine' Gavin was able to visit his old school.  Enthusiastic drama students and staff were delighted to host Gavin.  He has been an inspiration to the students since 'Tsotsi' Oscar win in 2006.   They were able to show him how drama has changed since he was at the Boys' College, where it is now a fully fledged Academic subject.   Gavin was extremely generous with his time and gave an impromptu workshop in direction.  Needless to say the audience hung on every word he said and when asked who his mentor had been at school, with no hesitation, Gavin was able to say I owe it all to my English teacher, Mr Michael Stalley.
