Structure

The institution is divided into three different schools. Each functions largely independently of the others; but at the same time facilities are often shared. The College is situated in Campground Road at the main campus, and a small portion of this land is used for the Pre-Preparatory School. The Preparatory School is situated in Fir Road, Rondebosch.

The principal of the Diocesan College is Mr Grant Nupen, who also functions as the headmaster of the Senior School. Mr Midge Hilton-Green is the headmaster of the Preparatory School and Noell Andrews is Head of Department for the Pre-Preparatory School.

The College has eight houses: Birt, Gray, Kidd, Mallett and Ogilvie for day-scholars, who may leave school after they have fulfilled their commitments. The house system is a traditional feature of British Schools and schools in ex- British colonies, similar to the collegiate system of a University Founders, School and White are the boarding houses. Each house has about 70 – 100 students, who are looked after by a housemaster, who have one or two deputies. Tutors work in each house, and follow the progress of a student throughout his high-school career.

The Preparatory School follows a similar structure with four houses: Van der Bijl (for boarders and day-boys), Bramley, Brooke and Charlton.

History

The Collegiate of the Diocese of Cape Town (hence the name Diocesan College) was founded by Bishop Robert Gray, the first Anglican bishop of Cape Town, in 1849 at his house, Bishopscourt in Cape Town. Robert Gray ( 3 October 1809 – 1 September 1872) was the first Anglican Bishop of Cape Town. East Melbourne is an Inner city Suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Cape Town (Kaapstad Xhosa: Ikapa) is the second most populous city in South Africa, forming part of the metropolitan municipality of the ^[2] He founded two schools there, one of which was described as for the "Native children" and the other for "European children" (this being the current school). Living with schools was hard for the bishop and this led him to establish the schools elsewhere. The black children moved to accommodation near the city, where Zonnebloem College now is. This movement left the bishop short of money and so he bought an unproductive farm in Campground Road, Rondebosch, to which the school was moved and on which it remains.

The school did not prosper until Canon George Ogilvie arrived from prosperous St. George's Grammar School, attached to St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town in the city. St George's Cathedral (in full The Cathedral Church of St George the Martyr) is the Anglican Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa The canon brought some boys with him and the bishop's school flourished. It then became the Diocesan College, but that too was a mouthful and it was generally referred to as the Bishop's school – hence its nickname.

Originally the school catered mainly for boarders, but since the 1970s it has had more day scholars than boarders. For some years it ran university classes, but in 1910 those classes left for the South African College, which was later to become the University of Cape Town. The South African College was an educational institution in Cape Town, South Africa, which developed into the University of Cape Town (UCT and the The University of Cape Town ( UCT) is a Public university located on the Rhodes Estate on the slopes of Devil's Peak, in Cape Town

The school had only three principals between 1919 and 1982 – Harold Birt, Hubert Kidd, the first layman to be the principal, and Anthony Mallett. Since then it has had three more. Mr Grant Nupen is the current headmaster.

Since 1921, a post matric year has offered students the opportunity to write the University of Cambridge A-Level examinations. The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the The A-level, short for Advanced Level, is a General Certificate of Education qualification in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, In recent times, girls have been admitted to this year. Boarding facilities are also available.

The school takes pride upon the standard of its academics. Leavers write the Western Cape Education Department examinations; this is different from other comparable private schools whose pupils write the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams. The Independent Examinations Board or IEB is a South African independent assessment agency which offers examinations for various client schools The Independent Examinations Board or IEB is a South African independent assessment agency which offers examinations for various client schools Post matric students (of which there are few) can write three A-levels. The A-level, short for Advanced Level, is a General Certificate of Education qualification in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, The pupil-teacher ratio is 15:1.

School Scholarships

Furthermore, the College offers scholarships to new students as well as an organ scholarship to a post matric student. These include:

• The Bishops Scholarship for all-rounders
• The Theron Scholarship for academic excellence
• Major and Minor Scholarships for academic excellence
• The Claude Brown Organ Scholarship is for boys or girls who are organists and who wish to enter a post matric year at the College. They are expected to contribute to the active musical life of the College chapels, and act as assistant organist to the Director of Music.

In addition to excellence scholarships, the school also awards bursaries. These include:

• Bursaries for the sons of Old Diocesans, so that needy students can attend the school.
• Bursaries and remissions so that diversity targets can be met.
• A two-thirds remission for sons of the Anglican clergy.

Rhodes Scholarship

Bishops is one of only four schools in the world to offer an annual Rhodes scholarship since 1901 to an ex-pupil to attend the University of Oxford. Rhodes Scholarship Rhodes scholar redirects here Rhodes Scholar redirects here Rhodes scholars The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the This is a result of the school having been part of the initial Rhodes Scholarship Experiment. When approached to help formulate the plan for the scholarship, Bishops was suggested by Mr Ernest Kilpin (later Sir Ernest, after he was knighted for services to the Union of South Africa) as a suitable school for the experiment and Cecil Rhodes agreed. } The Union of South Africa is the historic predecessor to the present-day state of the Republic of South Africa. Cecil John Rhodes, PC DCL (5 July 1853 &ndash 26 March 1902 was an English -born Businessman mining Magnate, and Politician Like Bishops' founder Robert Gray, he mistrusted purely secular education. ^[3]

Uniform and Awards

Bishops has two standard uniforms: Number 1s and Khakis. Number 1s are worn on formal occasions, and comprise of blazer, black pants, white shirt and tie. Khakis comprises a khaki shirt, shorts and socks. Scholars in Grade 11 & 12 can choose to wear the white shirt with their khaki shorts.

Ties

Bishops is known for its students wearing an array of ties. Preparatory students may only wear a standard-issue tie. The College students have a different regulation tie, and each house has its own tie. Various ties are awarded, such as an Academic Tie (for a student who has achieved an aggregate of 75% thrice), an All-Rounders Tie (works on a points-system) or the Distinction Tie (for an exceptional achievement). College Prefects have their own tie, as do all members of the vote-in societies (Forum and Ten-Club), members of the Students Representative Forum, the Public Relations Group and the Ensemble. Ties are also awarded for service or for attending the school for thirteen years. Special ties (such as tour or exchange ties) may be worn on Fridays. The OD's have their own tie.

Colours

Excellence in sporting and cultural activities is recognised through the awarding of colours. Every representative sport or activity has such an award. Initially a boy is awarded half colours, which is a small embroiled badge to be sewn under the mitre on his blazer. This badge has on it the initials of the sporting or cultural activity the boy was awarded the colours for (such as Sq. C. for squash). Squash is a racquet sport that was formerly called squash racquets, a reference to the "squashable" soft ball used in the game (compared with the

If further excellence is achieved, the boy can then be awarded full colours. This is represented by another small badge sewn next to the previous badge, with the letters DC on it. A boy awarded full colours is entitled to wear the Colours jersey in place of a normal school jersey. This jersey is white and has the dark and light blue of the cadet and academic jerseys in its collar.

Jerseys

The academic equivalent to full colours is the Academic jersey. A prestigious award, students are required to achieve an aggregate over 85% in 3 exam sessions for students in Grade 10-12 and 90% for boys in Grade 8 & 9. At present there are only a handful of boys in the College who are entitled to wear this jersey. The jersey is a dark blue, with a white and light blue collar.

Sport

Sport is an integral part of any the school, and is compulsory for all students. Sport is an Activity that is governed by a set of rules or Customs and often engaged in competitively Bishops was the first school in South Africa to start playing rugby,^[4] and the main Piley Rees field is the oldest rugby field in South Africa. The school offers a multitude of sports; but the focus is on rugby union, football and cricket. Overview See also Playing rugby union A rugby union match lasts for 80 minutes (plus stoppage time with a short Cricket is a bat-and-ball team Sport that originated in England and is now played in more than 100 countries

Synchronized swimming is one the most popular sport at Bishops. A notable swimmer is Hezron Nkanda who has made the national side.

Over 20 sports matches are played on a weekly basis against schools in and around Cape Town. Cape Town (Kaapstad Xhosa: Ikapa) is the second most populous city in South Africa, forming part of the metropolitan municipality of the Many friendly rivalries have emerged, most notably against the nearby South African College School (SACS), and Rondebosch Boys' High School. The South African College Schools, commonly referred to as SACS, is a primary and secondary education institution located in Newlands, Cape Town, Rondebosch Boys' High School and Rondebosch Boys' Preparatory School make up a State school situated in the suburb of Rondebosch in Cape Town

Beginning in 1892, the annual Bishops versus SACS rugby match is considered the oldest in Africa, although the keenest rivalry is often considered to be against Rondebosch Boys' High School. Rondebosch Boys' High School and Rondebosch Boys' Preparatory School make up a State school situated in the suburb of Rondebosch in Cape Town A match against Rondebosch is played twice per year in every sport.

Culture

A considerable emphasis is given to culture and the arts at this school. Many cultural events are regularly held – the annual Bishops Eisteddfod being the most important. This involves the eight houses competing against each other after the mid-year exams for the Eisteddfod Owls (a symbolic prize for winning a specific category of the Eisteddfod). There are prizes (owls) for the categories of Speech, Performance (i. e. drama and movement), Music, Visual Arts and Inter-House Singing. There is a bigger owl for the overall winners, known as the Eisteddfod Owl. Birt House won this competition in 2007 and 2006. Gray House won the competition in 2005 and Founders House won this competition from 2001 to 2004.

Bishops also holds the Bishops Classic Pops every three years in the Cape Town City Hall. Cape Town City Hall is a large Edwardian building in Cape Town city centre which was built in 1905 The school has an active Music Department which is extremely well-equipped (including a computer sound laboratory and recording studio). The school is perhaps unique in South Africa by benefiting from two very fine organs (and a smaller chamber organ) in its chapels. In addition, the Music Department has launched three new CDs: Choral Vespers (a recording of the traditional evening service), Tour to Russia (a compilation of repertoire taken to Russia by the Choir and Brass Band in April 2006) and Composers of Bishops (a compilation of compositions by Bishops boys over the past four years).

The school has over twenty active societies which meet regularly during the year. The Debating Society, for example, has often won the Western Cape Provincial Debating tournament and has a history of producing national and international debaters. Debate ( American English) or debating ( British English) is a formal method of interactive and position representational Argument. It hosted the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships in 2007. The World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships is an annual international English language Debating and Public speaking tournament for

Societies meet in the evenings at least twice per term. Some have speakers of contemporary interest, whilst others tend to engage in a specific activity. Most societies are open to all boys at the college; however, the Ten-Club is by invitation only and is composed of the top 5 academic scholars in Grade 11 and 5 scholars who are voted in by the outgoing Ten Club. The Forum Society is also by invitation only and invites high-profile speakers, who deal with current and stimulating topics.

Religion

Being an Anglican Christian school, the school has strong Christian values, and maintains strong links with the Diocese of Cape Town. Anglicanism is a tradition of Christian faith Churches in this tradition either have historical connections to the Church of England or have similar beliefs A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth Chapel services held three times a week and once a term Evensong takes place. A chapel is a holy place or area of Worship for Christians, which may be attached to an institution such as a large church, a College, a Evening Prayer is a Liturgy in use in the Anglican Communion (and other churches in the Anglican tradition such as the Continuing Anglican Movement and This represents a considerable adjustment in emphasis, since in the 1990s, services were held every day, with evensongs on Thursday and Sunday evenings. The school chaplain is the Reverend Martin Coomer. The College has two chapels, both central to life at Bishops. The older and smaller Brooke Chapel is used for more intimate services, while the bigger War Memorial Chapel was built in memory of the Bishops boys who died in service in World War I and is used for daily and Sunday services. In 2007, Bishops was used to elect the new Archbishop of South Africa.

Activities Week

Activities Week is a week in which all the boys, after their November exams, participate in a camp - usually between 4 to 7 days long. Each grade (with the exception of Grade 12) have their own "set" of camps from which they can choose from. Activities range from going on the Orange River to skydiving and hiking. The Orange River ( Afrikaans / Dutch: Oranjerivier) Gariep River, Groote River or Senqu River is the longest river in Parachuting, also known as skydiving is where a person jumps from enough height so that he can deploy a fabric Parachute and land safely The word 'hiking' is understood in all English-speaking countries but there are differences in usage The aim of these camps are to get boys out of their comfort zone so that they can learn important life skills.

Three Pillar Plan

The Three Pillar Plan is to raise capital and invest the funds to generate interest and build the Bishops of the future. The three 'pillars' of the plan are: People, Projects and Programmes. Each pillar is to be supported by donors who are either Old Diocesans, current parents or friends of the school.

People: The most significant and important pillar is the People. The aim of this pillar is to increase the number of scholarships and bursaries - currently totaling R1. 5million per annum - awarded to scholars. Another goal of the pillar is to attract the best of the best teachers to the College and to enhance general development of current teachers.

Projects: The aim of the Project pillar is to refurbish existing buildings as well as build new ones. Buildings that have been identified for refurbishment are the Mallett Centre and Staff housing. The creation of a new hockey pavilion, lecture theater and classrooms have also been identified as goals to achieve. Hockey is any of a family of Sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a Ball, or a hard round rubber or heavy plastic disc called a puck

Programmes: The Bishops' General Endowment Fund is carefully invested to generate an annual income. This is used to guarantee a steady income for the school over a long term. However, this Fund is tiny compared with other schools like Eton College (R2. Eton College, or just Eton, is a world-famous British Independent school for boys founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. 230b); Harvard (R1. 430b) and Boston College (R700m). For similarly-named academic institutions see Education in Boston MA. The aim is to increase the fund by R10m by 2020.

Miscellaneous

The school slogan Inspires Individuals reflects the school's commitment to this goal, which it seeks to achieve by providing, inter alia, up-to-date computer equipment, music and drama departments and a wide variety of subjects. Bishops participates in many outreach programs such as the LEAP program. These programs get the students involved in teaching other students from underprivileged schools skills such as computer-literacy and chess.

The Old Diocesans' (OD) Union is one of the most active alumni clubs in the country, with membership spanning the globe. The president of the Union is Mr J Arenhold.
