May I speak in the name of the One God, Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of us all.
Dear friends from St Cyprians – Head of School, staff, learners, parents and guardians, members of Council, Old Girls, and friends of the school – I bring you greetings from Archbishop Thabo, who, as you know, has been called to Tuinhuis this afternoon for the swearing in of our new President. Thank you for allowing me to be part of today’s service in his place, as you mark another year in the life of St Cyprians.
As Heritage Day yesterday reminded us, it is important from time to time to take stock of our past, of where we have come from, and of how we have arrived at where we are now, in order to direct our way forward. This is my theme today.
