Rhodes-African Scholars

Christopher has recently taken up his Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford (Lincoln College) and writes very enthusiastically from Oxford: "The Rhodes Scholar community has been incredible in making us all feel welcome. They have provided all of us with an instant group of friends who are available to give advice and hints to make Oxford seem less confusing. We have played croquet on the Rhodes House lawns, had a bonfire in a park in the rain (nothing is cancelled because of the rain here!), went sightseeing at Windsor castle and have had many late-night discussions on everything from theology to quantum physics."

He also writes that: "I am on the Oxford Union squad to go to the World Debating Championships in Botswana.

Bronwyn Lovegrove (2009)

Rotary International selected Bronwyn Lovegrove as their outbound Ambassadorial Scholar.  Bronwyn completed her degree at Rhodes and now studies at Bremen University in Lower Saxony. Her scholarship was sponsored by District 1850 in Germany .Bronwyn majored in Politics, German and Economics. Says Bronwyn: ”Throughout high school, as well as university I have chosen subjects that have interested me and as a result of this, I have always given my academic studies my all. I was selected to represent my high school and South Africa in a competitive maths conference in the Philippines and I matriculated in 2008 with five distinctions. I achieved gold in the English Olympiad in matric and I took advanced mathematics as an extra subject for close to three years. I have always had a clear vision of what I wanted to accomplish, especially by the time I first came to study at Rhodes and the subjects that I chose from my first year have always served some purpose in bettering my understanding of how people interact in the world and where I can position myself in order to help people who have lived a completely different and in many instances, more challenging life than myself”.

Christopher Maxwell (2009)

A Passion Runs Through it: A St Andrew’s College Rugby Story is a story for any boy who dreams of pulling that 1st team rugby jersey over his head. It is for the boys of St Andrew’s, past and present, who played rugby with pride and passion.
A Passion Runs Through it documents the origin of rugby at St Andrew’s which played a big part in the origin of the sport in the Eastern Cape and South Africa.
Weaving through the years, it explores the developments made during its history whilst giving full praise to the times when ‘College Rugby’ was on a high.
Despite the many factual pointers, a large portion of the text is told through the voices of Old Andreans. Their words and stories of their time playing bring to life the story of rugby and are celebrated throughout the book.
The story not only looks at the rugby played as a whole but goes deep into some of the great players, teams, coaches and matches that have graced the school’s fields. One of the more recent matches documented is the St Andrew’s verses Grey High P.E. match played in 2005. It was a spectacular display of schoolboy rugby seen by those present on Lower field.
The schools standard of rugby is so often judged from the 1st team with no or little insight into the other teams. A Passion Runs Through it also ventures into the other teams who played well and showed the crowds that they were worth recognition. In the closing chapters the focus is turned to the boys of St Andrew’s and zones in on those ‘war-cries’ heard from across Grahamstown.
There are 53 photographs of coaches, players, teams and of some of the key features in the St Andrew’s rugby setup. However for those who are not avid St Andrew’s followers, there is the early beginnings of the sport in South Africa as well as information on schools with a playing history against St Andrew’s. This is for anyone who wants to know the St Andrew’s rugby story.
