Past Pupils who matriculated between the years 1980 and 1985


1984

Lynne Hickey (now Beneka). Matriculated 1984 wrote to us in February 2003: "I emigrated to New Zealand in 1999 with my husband, Frits, and two boys, Matthew (now 9) and Bradley(now 5). We're living in a small, scenic rural village on the very outskirts of Auckland. A stunning scenic spot where the kids can roam free, ride bikes, catch crabs and swing from the trees without our eagle eyes always watching them. There is also a huge South African community and a South African Kaffee that keeps us supplied with the favourites from home....like Savannahs, beers, Nic-Naks, Rooibos Tea, biltong and the likes. I work out in the community as a "Well Child and Family Nurse". This incorporated an extra year of Part-time Study, but was well worth it as I love what I do. I home visit all the newborns in the area until the babies are older and able to come to the clinic and work closely with the Moms and their issues....then liaise and network with the huge number of other community organisations. The families are under our care until the child goes to school at 5. I look forward to hearing from anyone from '84 or anyone living in Auckland or wanting to visit.
My details are as follows.......12 Gails Drive, Okura, RD2 Albany, Auckland, New Zealand, Tel: 0964 9 473-4408. Email: benekalf@xtra.co.nz     I look forward to hearing from you.

Robertson Shelley (1984) wrote in June 2004: An update on my email address and details.  I am emigrating to Perth , Australia in July 2004 and my new email address is: gypsy_girls@hotmail.com.

Further news from her in December at the end of 2003 " I am one of the very proud Centenary Matrics.  I have lived in Australia and the UK and settled back in Cape Town in November 1991.  I am divorced and have a ten year old daughter.  I have worked primarily in the advertising industry and am now working at the American International School in Constantia.  I would be very interested to hear about the 20 year reunion for our year.. I am in touch with a few of the other 1984 girls who I am sure who also like to know if there is a reunion planned.

We have three children: Stefan, 13, Conor, 10, and Emma who is 7. I recently found your website when I was asked to do an Immigration presentation to Conor's grade 5 class, particularly in respect to how my life was different in South Africa in grade 5 to how they live their lives here in Canada now."

Mary Sutherland (now Carter) wrote in January 2005: "Hi there. Just an update on what I've been doing. By now you've probably been advised by my mum, Marian Sutherland, that I left South Africa last November to live in Sydney, Australia. I got married earlier in the year and am expecting my third baby (first one by this marriage, of course) any day between now and Christmas.
My children, the Prattens, who were attending WBJS and WGJS have settled in well to their new high school over here and are thankful for their firm grounding in junior school at Wynberg. email address marycarter@optusnet.com.au

I am the nurse manager of an Accident and Medical Centre in Palmerston North, New Zealand and work with eight other South Africans, seven doctors and one nurse and the rest of the staff are KIWI.

Trevaskis Nikki (1980) - now Pears wrote in 2002: I now live in Johannesburg but do come back to Cape Town about once a year and went to the ten year reunion, but was sad to see very few of the Std 10 A and B classes there, primarily as a result of their being overseas or in Johannesburg - I was still residing in Cape Town at that time. A snippet about me - I married a Wynberg Boy, Ian Pears, we have two boys, Travis is 8 in grade 2 and Vaughn is 6 in Grade 1 and they go to St John's in Johannesburg.We presently live in Weltevredenpark, but have almost completed our new home in Houghton, into which we will be moving in December. I have had contact with Sue Paynter - she is living in Switzerland and also has two boys slightly older than mine, and Michelle Rossiter who last I knew was living in New Zealand and had just had a little boy - plus minus about 3 years ago.
