STAFF

Sadly we said farewell to John Gardner and his wife Daisy who left at the end of first term. John taught English to 'A' level. We wish them success and happiness in the future.

Roy and Jenny Currie left at the end of first term. Their impact on Peterhouse during the past nine years has been considerable. Roy taught Maths, coached rugby, supervised golf and run Gosho Park most successfully. We are most indebted for the superb work he and Jenny did in Grinham. Jenny, as resident physiotherapist is being sadly missed during the rugby, soccer and hockey term! We thank them for their contribution to the growth and development of Peterhouse and wish them every success in the future.

We have welcomed to the staff Mrs Frances Yiend who took over as Director of Music; Mr George Yiend, who is teaching Art at Peterhouse and PHG; Mr Cliford Tswatswa, who teaches Geography; Mr Ashley Denman, who is our new Sports Administrator; Mr Philemon Chirombe, who teaches Commerce and Mathematics and Shane Dodd - Petrean - who joined us for a term as a Junior Master

David Makwindi, Housemaster of Founders and Tenson Tinofirei, who teaches A Level Physics left at the end of the second term. John "Shorty" Davidson retires at the end of the year after 44 years' teaching in Zimbabwe. Suzanne Barrington , who is Head of Science, is joining the staff at Shrewsbury School (UK) From PHG Carol Gibson and Avril Pratt are also leaving at the end of second term. Each has made a huge contribution and will be sorely missed.

Chris Nyazika, who teaches History and Divinity and is a very enthusiastic cricket coach, is the new Housemaster of Founders

PETREAN DAY 20 July 2002

After an unseasonal shower on the Friday night, Saturday dawned bright and sunny, so everything looked set for a good Petrean Day. A large number of Petreans had arrived and the bar was beginning to do good business as the Rugby game against Prince Edward started at 4.00. As the first half progressed, the sky was becoming blacker and blacker and almost as the whistle blew for half-time, the heavens opened and everybody was sent running for cover. The scores were level at 7-7 and it was only a lightning strike very close to the field that caused the decision to call the game off on safety grounds. After about half an hour the storm moved on, leaving a drop in temperature; naturally the bar reopened.

Pity the poor Tinokura parents on their camping week-end. Their sodden tents must have been very uncomfortable to have spent the night in!

CHIMS 2002 - Chimanimani Trip - B Block

Led by Ashley Denman and Brian Foakes CHIMS 2002 was a notable success. As usual, nothing will be lost in the telling by the boys!

Government School Name Changes

Some Petreans will have to update their CVs following the changes by the Government to the the names of some well known schools. It is possible that some alumni of Chenjerai Hitler Hunzvi Primary may be pleased at the changes. Others may not. Check out the changes
