Chimanimani Horizons Expedition 2018
Report by Andrew Shoesmith
This is the Fourth year we have run the Horizons Expedition for B Block and it’s gaining a real reputation as tough, unforgettable and educational. What more can an educator wish for? The complex logistics involved in organizing an expedition in the Chimanimani Trans-frontier Park – deep into unmapped Mountains with 25 fifteen or sixteen year boys, is no easy task but the coordinating of the many facets of such a trip have become well systematised, and it all seems to fold into place these days. In spite of troubled economic times the boys all received the usual special ration pack the day before departure and the only last minute crisis was contending with vacillating weather forecasts… more on that later!

B Block Chimanimani Expedition with Outward Bound Zimbabwe 2018
As educators and as parents and guardians, we can be classified as ‘craftsmen and ship builders’. We can all add our special contribution to the ‘building’ (raising) of ‘sturdy, stable, sea faring ships’ (capable and independent children). This is so that they can leave the harbor (our safe and comfortable homes) and make a useful contribution to a really challenging but exciting world out there. As the quote above states, ships are built to be out at sea, doing useful jobs, enduring calm waters as well as terrible storms. In essence, we, as parents and schools like Peterhouse and Outward Bound are here to support the ‘ship building process’, so that pupils who leave our safe harbor’s (our homes) are prepared and ready to face what comes their way.

Combined Senior Schools Concert 2018

Our theme this year was ‘UBUNTU’ which is a special African colloquialism that means ‘ I am because we are’. Quite simply, it resembles togetherness. The music, chosen by conductors mainly from the Marondera schools, was distributed in May. This gave each school a chance to practice the pieces long before bringing it all together in September.
This time round we tried two new ideas just to generate something different to fit our Ubuntu theme. Firstly, we invited the legendary Dr Oliver Mtukudzi to sing with our choirs and our instrumentalists. He is such an inspirational Zimbabwean artist and the participants thoroughly enjoyed making music with him.
