The 2023 Chronicle

SPIRITUAL Michaelhouse is an Anglican foundation school in the Diocese of Natal, and the Bishop of Natal, the Rt Revd Dino Gabriel, is the school visitor. The resident chaplain, the Rev Chris Meyer, together with the Rector, assumes responsibility for the spiritual welfare of the boys. The chapel and the spiritual life of the school are seen to be central to the education Michaelhouse seeks to provide. We believe it’s fundamental that each boy who passes through this school should have had the opportunity to be exposed to Christian worship and values, and to come to a personal faith in Jesus Christ. For some this will occur during their time here, whilst for others we trust that the seeds which are planted in their lives will germinate in later life. However this occurs, it is our hope that young men of Michaelhouse will acquire a spiritual foundation which will not only equip them to live whole and fulfilled lives, but which will also enable them to practise a life of Christian service in the world. Whilst being a Christian foundation school, the necessity for religious tolerance is recognized and our boys are taught to respect the beliefs of other world religions and philosophies.
