NEW HOUSE SONG FOR 2014 Can you believe that we survived a very hectic 2013 and 150th anniversary celebration year. Certainly from my perspective, I can very confidently say that our 150th year with all its celebratory functions etc was a huge success. The small part we as Old Boys played in all the different functions throughout the year contributed immensely to the success of the year as a whole. Thank you to all those gentlemen who attended functions, were actively involved, and did their bit for the MCOBA. It is difficult for me to pin point a highlight, as I am of the opinion that the whole year was a highlight. My personal choice of a highlight would be that we as a school leadership group, inducted a new Headmaster, who is proving to be beyond our initial expectations and has made a huge impact on Maritzburg College in a very short space of time. Chris Luman has done us proud, and I ask that you all continue to give him your full support. With his appointment, have come some major changes, but I assure you that all these changes have not been implemented without many hours of heavy debate amongst the school executive, Governing Body and many times the boys themselves. Good Luck Mr Luman as you continue to lead our great 150 year old school.
