Quest News Letter

Dear Parents,

In addition to the Blog and pictorial updates on both our Website and Facebook page, I thought it would be useful to introduce a regular Newsletter to keep you all up updated on the goings on at Quest from a management perspective.
The 2nd semester is now well under way and both Intakes are getting stuck into the various activities, projects and acumens that will keep them busy over the two months.

Intake 1

A Spark of Brilliance by Justyn Fowler

This week the boys were entertained mostly by an introductory course to electrics. We had professional electrician and friend of quest, Adam Griffin, come in to teach us the basics. We learned by means of lectures and practical experiments, how one would wire an open or closed lighting system as well as many other handy household hints. Most of the guys caught on really quickly and were soon playing around with more detailed and complex circuits. The most valuable lesson we learnt was that we mustn't play with the red wire; the live wire.

The Quest course has come into my life, stayed 7 months, left footprints on my heart and I will never, ever be the same. Some people say that the eyes are the passageway to the heart; if that’s true and Quest has left footprints in my heart, then when I look in the mirror and stare back at myself I will see a reflection worth looking at.

Respect is an overriding rule at Quest. We all have different cultures, backgrounds and outlooks but above all we respected each other from day one. Quest has taught me the willingness to obey, be thankful and always consider my actions.

‘Passion is essential to have in all aspects of your life. Deciding on what values one bases their life on is one of the most important decisions one can make. It will determine how they will be treated throughout the duration of their lives in both the business world as well as their personal one.’

Student, Bongani Mhlangu - 'There aren’t many ways to describe Quest Africa, but if I had to describe it in one word it would be Life. Too many people get hung up on making plans and making sure everything is perfect but life is what happens in place of all your plans. Life is when you spend hour’s claying the pizza oven only so it can crack the next day, life is when you get all the way to Carlisle and you realize you’ve left the bucket behind. We’ve all come out of school where everything was planned for us and we didn’t really have to worry too much about coming up with alternatives and back up plans. Had we gone into the working world with that sort of mentality we would have been somewhat at a disadvantage. Quest teaches us how to cope with all that, and despite all the little conflicts that happen, I couldn’t think of another 23 people I’d rather be here with.'

Student, Abe Louw - 'This time at Quest has been invaluable to me. In what I have learnt and what I have had the opportunity to do. I continue to marvel at the growth of everyone. Guys changing physically, mentally and spiritually and never stop trying to achieve their goals. WE ARE BECOMING MEN!'

Student, Zach Louw - 'Leo Buscaglia was a great orator and the crux of many of his inspirational lectures was the sentence:

“Do it now, because you may never the opportunity to do it again!”

I didn’t understand the true power of it until Quest thrust me into its true application. Quest is a course, which I will never experience again- so I’ve tried to experience it to the fullest, live in the moment and cherish the breathtaking experiences thrown at me because- as sad as it is- they’re not coming again…'

Student, Oliver Pike, Spring Programme 2011-

Don’t think the day is over until the day is over…

Student, Shawn Allman (2011) - 'Every young man has focused on developing himself into the man he was born to become. We have been building inner strength and a unique set of values for each one of us. We have learnt about whom we are and what we want to build on. It is a constant learning experience and new experiences and lessons come by in abundance. Each young man is free to decide what he wants to take out of his learning and apply to his life. However there are some generic lessons that everyone is taking out. The one that has impacted me the most and that I think is so valuable is "character".'

Student, Shawn Allman (2011) - 'Quest has truly surprised me in many ways. Who knew that a course like this could bond 24 young men so tightly that we have become a family? Apart from the petty bickering and temporary moments of animosity, we have grown to love each other as friends and brothers. Strength in unity, something that is taught at Quest and only over this term have we come to understand it. The encouragement, compassion and commitment is irrefutable. We have truly become brothers.'
