Now in its 128th year, Michaelhouse has established a unique ethos dedicated to holism. In an era marked by educational focus on a single area of endeavour - academic, sporting, or cultural - Michaelhouse remains committed to its founder’s vision: to make not accountants, not clerks, not clergymen, but men; men of understanding, thoughts and culture.”
It is our belief that a boy’s time at senior school is as much about discovering his niche in life as having the freedom, opportunity and encouragement to explore it and become the best that he can be. The school’s campus offers an environment rich in time and facilities allowing the unique potential of each boy to emerge and thrive.
Sadly, after the last payment was made for my sons tuition in 2016, not one word or notification from MHS except for one email asking for funds a few years back. Would be great if one was kept in the email loop with regard to the quarterly happenings. If one is not on FB, one does not know what is happening at the school! Maybe communication will start up again when the grandson appears!
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you have had this experience. We are aware that our Old Boys continue to have a wonderful network and we understand that others who have been involved with our community but are not Old Boys, would also like to stay in touch with us. We have therefore started the St Michael's Club to reach out to our past parents and past staff and supporters who would like to stay in touch with us. The SMC sends out regular updates about our school. Please contact Mrs Frances Boltller to find out more - frabol@michaelhouse.org
Fantastic ambassador for the School and South Africa as a whole. All i can think about, is how the gym has changed from the smalll room next to the Swap shop, with maybe one bench press and some loose weights;-) and what is with lessons starting at 7:30 - 6:40 from memory for us of '91
“…to make, not accountants, not clerks, not clergymen, but men; men of understanding, thought and culture.” It has been 127 years since our founder uttered these words. Were he still here, he would see you in those words, Carlyle… Bravo 🔴⚖️⚪️
How about adding a few words to these videos as a sort of subtitle telling us the name of the person we are watching & listening to and what his association with school is?
What a find! A lot of nostalgia bound up in that, particularly as many of the master's faces and places are as I remember them, having only left a few years earlier.
This is a great initiative! I hope the next generation are different from the previous generations of students who are driven more by how much money they can make instead of how much of a difference.
I've never been to South Africa, but this school ever fascinates me. I hope the book donning the rich history of the school will be available in Nairobi.
WOW. What a fantastic video. Makes me so proud to be an MHS Old Boy, and what a great reminder of who we were schooled and trained to be, and to become. Huge thanks to all who made this video, what an excellent production, well done!
What an incredible video! Tremendous effort. So much has changed over the years. This great school keeps on setting the bar at new heights. I am a proud Old Boy.
Power brother Cook * words of motivation to any old boy and just any boy in this ever challenging world - what a gift walking that quad for 5 continuous years
