FAther StAn brennAnBorn in Ireland in 1929, the seventh of 10 children, Seamus Brennan decided very early on to dedicate his life to God. He said that, even as a young child, “I thought God was all loving and all powerful and if we lived a good life he would reward us”.

As a boy, Brennan read the story of St Francis of Assisi and it made a life-changing impression on him. As early as he could, he applied to join the Franciscan order. “There was something deeply compelling, calling me to the Franciscans.”

After four years studying in Rome and a year spent teaching at the Franciscan college in Dublin, in 1957, Father Stan was posted to SA.

On arrival he spent a very happy time as spiritual director at the Diocesan Seminary in Boksburg and was impressed with the work the Brothers were doing. But he yearned to work with the local community and when the opportunity arose, he grabbed it with both hands and never let go, until advanced age and increasing frailty forced him to.

In 1965, Father Stan was appointed parish priest at St Francis Catholic Church in Reiger Park and was given an old African church-cum-school building with no electricity or running water. From those humble beginnings, the priest – who could be resolutely manipulative when it came to eliciting donations – created the world class St Anthony’s Education Centre in Reiger Park. Over the years, thousands of students have passed through the centre to become valued members of every profession in the country.

In 1992, being deeply disturbed by a lack of concern shown for HIV/Aids patients, Father Stan purchased a property to build a haven where terminally ill patients could be cared for. Despite fierce opposition from the local community, Father Stan succeeded in the Supreme Court and formally opened the St Francis Care Centre in 1992. Then, in 1998, he started the House of Mercy, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre. In 2004, he opened Mercy Haven for abused women and children.

Father Stan received more than 50 awards from various governments around the world for his role in uplifting disadvantaged communities spiritually, emotionally, educationally and economically.

He inspired and cared for thousands of students over the years and changed the lives of countless individuals with his care and compassion.

St Anthony’s Education Centre celebrated a major milestone in 2016: the 50th anniversary of it being an education and training institution that has given hope to thousands of people. Started in 1966 by Father Stan Brennan, this achievement bears testimony to the fact that St Anthony’s has been meeting the needs of the people for 50 years. Each and every programme started was in answer to a need.

I am very proud to be associated with an organisation such as this, and would like to mention some individuals who have given their time freely and willingly over the years to make St Anthony’s what it is today. The previous Chairpersons of the Board are: Mr Billy Hood, Mr Maurice Allen, Mr Maurice Radebe, Mr Lot Ndlovu, Mr Warwick Soulsby, and Mr David Prinsloo, who served the Centre and guided it through many peaks and valleys. They were ably assisted by numerous other board members over the years. Mrs Janet du Preez, a previous vice-chairperson and student of the Centre during the 1970’s, shared her knowledge and experience for over 16 years. Another pillar of the organisation was Mr Brian Neale who began teaching accounting to St Anthony students while he himself was still a student accountant. His expertise has been invaluable and his dedication to the Centre for over 30 years is gratefully appreciated.

The Franciscan Order, The Sisters of Mercy, Dominican Order, the Holy Cross sisters, Christian Brothers, members of St Anthony’s Club, the Catholic Women’s League and the St Francis of Assisi executive all assisted Father Stan in developing St Anthony’s. They worked tirelessly and without any financial reward.

This year we said farewell to Father Thabo Sefoli and welcomed Father Anthony Spencer to the Board. We wish him a long and happy association with the Centre.

Results of the Franciscan Matric Project again reflected a solid performance. The overall 2016 pass rate of 90.2% was the best ever and Rose Webb, and all the teaching and support staff, must be congratulated for this outstanding achievement. Because of the dedication of the teaching and support staff the school can look forward to the payment of the full government subsidy for 2017.

The Skills Training Programme continued growing from strength-to-strength under the leadership of Jimmy Thosago. Many of the trainers increased their knowledge and expertise by attending various development courses, such as Assessor’s training, during the year. Strategies are also being developed to enable

the Programme to become more self-supporting. These include the formation of training partnerships with companies and the soliciting of out-sourced work from third party organisations.

Securing sufficient funds to implement its programmes is always an on-going challenge for the Centre. Our grateful thanks to all our valued donors who, collectively, make it possibly for St Anthony’s to achieve its vision.

Going forward, the new contracts of employment for staff will enhance the governance of the Centre and contribute to the retention of institutional knowledge.

Lastly, but definitely not least, I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their selfless contributions to St Anthony’s, and to offer the management and staff of St Anthony’s my sincere appreciation and congratulations on a job well done.

Policies and Procedures

With the exception of the teaching staff, all St Anthony staff members have signed new SEESA employment contracts. As a result, it is likely that some Centre policies will need to be updated and the groundwork for this began during 2016. These revised Policies and Procedures will be finalized once a permanent organogram is in place.

Fundraising and Finance

Securing sufficient funds to sustain Centre operations was again a challenge in 2016 due to many factors, including a decline in international and local donor funding and the fact that the 2015 Lotto application was still not adjudicated at the end of 2016.

On the positive side, due to the increase in the matric pass rate by learners in the Franciscan Matric Project (FMP) the Centre will qualify to receive the full government subsidy in 2017. Funding from the National Skills Fund and Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) continues to be investigated for all Catholic Skills Centres by the Catholic Institute of Education (CIE).

50th Anniversary

In 2016 St Anthony’s Education Centre celebrated its 50th anniversary. A celebration of this achievement was held on 26 August and was attended by many of the people who helped St Anthony’s over the years to grow into a successful education, skills development and support institution.

Governance

During the year the Board of Governors considered and approved changes to the organizational structure of the Centre which will be implemented for a one-year trial period. Most significantly, the post of Acting Centre Manager was created to ensure there are no gaps in the management functions of the Centre.

The Board also recognised that a new 5-year Strategic Plan will need to be developed and approved in 2017, as the existing plan runs from 2012 – 2017.

In terms of Board responsibilities, Fr Anthony Spencer was appointed as a non-executive director and Alfred Carrim an appointment as Chairperson of the Risk Committee. In addition, a decision was made to increase the number of executive board members, which will be implemented during the course of 2017.

Staff Development

During 2016 the staff members from the Centre received the following training and development:

n 18 people were trained in Fire Fighting and First Aid;

n Administration staff from Skills and Finance attended various training sessions;

n Two instructors completed an Assessor’s course;

n Two managers attended a junior management course; and

n The Centre Fundraiser and IT Instructor attended a course on social media strategies for NPO’s.

Centre Management

An issue relating to the use of the clinic facilities on the grounds of St Anthony’s was settled, with permission to use the facility being granted by the Franciscan Provincialate. Outstanding items that are still under discussion include a Right-of-Use agreement for the skills training property, which is registered in the name of the Franciscan Friars.

The annual Operational Planning meeting for the Centre took place on 4 and 5 October and the plans are being monitored by Mancom. The Management Information System (MIS) continued to be implemented and a review of the competitiveness of the MIS service provider is underway.

The Board and Centre Management also recognise that the development and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation system needs to be explored.

HISTORY

The Franciscan Matric Project began in January 1986 when Father Stan Brennan registered a re-write matric school with the Department of Education and Training after receiving requests from numerous community members and parents on the East Rand.

During this difficult period in South Africa’s history many learners were prevented from writing matric due to political unrest or they had not completed a full school year which meant that their results were not a fair reflection of their abilities.

Fr Stan registered the Franciscan Matric Project with the Department of Education and Training and classes began in January 1986 with 445 students. Fr Stan approached the Christian Brothers for a principal to run the school. Brother Tom Finnegan was appointed as the first principal; he remained in the position until April 1990. Mrs Rosemary Webb was then appointed as the principal.

FrAnciScAn MAtric project

In the early years the school registered only Grade 12 learners who needed to re-write matric. Each year the

number of learners increased.

In 2006 a decision was made to register learners in Grade 10, Grade 11 and Grade 12 in order that the FMP offered the whole Further Education and Training phase of education.

Throughout the 30 year history of the Franciscan Matric Project the dedication

and commitment of both teaching staff and support staff has seen the programme maintain

the reputation of being a centre of excellence.

Matric results achieved for the November 2016 examinations were the best results ever obtained with a pass rate of 90.2% as compared with the national average of 76.2%, the provincial average of 87%.

The Franciscan Matric Project once again received both the District and Provincial award for the Top Performing Subsidised Independent School, awards which have now been received for the 5th consecutive year.

In addition the teaching staff of the Afrikaans department received the award for the Best Teachers in the District in Afrikaans SAL.

We are extremely proud of all of these achievements and congratulations must go to all staff and students who have worked extremely hard throughout the year to attain these results.

Once again in 2016 all learners in the FMP had an opportunity to attend a Study Skills Programme due to the generosity of Mercedes-Benz SA (Pty) Limited who funded the programme. We are extremely grateful to Mercedes-Benz SA (Pty) Limited for their continued commitment to education. Feedback from learners about the Study Skills course was extremely positive and we hope the benefit provided will show in the results achieved by the learners at the end of the year.

The St Anthony’s Library continues to be a vital part of the experience of students that come through the Centre. The Library was renamed during the 50th celebrations during 2016 to honour the founder of the Centre. The Library is now known as the Father Stan Brennan Library.

In February 2016 all learners were offered a Library Orientation course. Thanks must go to the Library Administrator and her assistant for the excellent work done to ensure that all students understand the functions of the Library and encouraging them to use the Library throughout the year.

Intervention classes took place throughout the year during break time and after school to try to ensure that students who experience difficulties receive the necessary help in order for them to succeed. All Maths and Grade 12 Accounting students attended weekly Saturday classes to help improve their academic performance.

We sadly said goodbye to two teachers who retired at the end of 2016, Irene Brown who taught at the Centre for five years and Claudia Harland who retired after 17 years’ service. Their contribution will always be remembered and we wish both health and happiness in their retirement. Miss G Kganane and Miss S Jele resigned.

Computers

Through the generous support of Mercedes-Benz Sa and the International Youth Foundation (IYF) the Centre’s Computer Facilitator, Carmen Barnes, was able to move her classes into a new computer room equipped with 41 computers. This facility will definitely improve the learning environment for students.

Diesel Mechanics

In 2016 Deutz Diesel power provided two diesel engines that are used for training. The Cargo Motors Division of the Imperial Group also donated text books approved by the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Section Education and Training Authority (merSETA) to be used in the Diesel Mechanics course.

Welding

Macsteel usizoprogramme

The Macsteel Usizo Project helps marginalised small businesses that are in the metals and engineering sector to develop the skills and knowledge to run their businesses successfully. St Anthony’s partners with Macsteel in this effort by training the employees of the small businesses in welding and other skills, and by preparing them to take their trade test. In turn, Macsteel supports the Centre’s job placement activities, provides work experience for students, and donates training materials.

Vital engineering very generously donated welding materials and a forklift for training purposes.

Other notable achievements in 2016 included the welding trainees, under the supervision of their facilitator, Mr Peter Kelmovitz, constructing two verandas for the Bright Kid Foundation, an organisation that converts shipping containers into resource equipped classrooms for use in remote areas.

St Anthony’S SkillS trAining progrAMMe

Motor Mechanics

In 2012 the Centre joined with Mercedes-Benz South africa and the merSeta to implement a 3-year learnership leading to a recognised qualification in Automotive Repair and Maintenance. The project officially ended in 2015, but in 2016 two more graduates of the programme, Chrishancle Lentoor and Reginald Raleaka, secured permanent employment in the industry.

After the completion of this project the challenge that St Anthony’s faced was to get a new partner to continue with the learnership, as the Centre now had the expertise and capacity to run the programme professionally. Hyundai automotive Sa responded to this need by donating equipment for both the diesel mechanic and motor mechanics programmes. The donation had a great impact as it enabled St Anthony’s to get accreditation for the Diesel Mechanics programme the first time since it was introduced.

Carpentry, bricklaying and Plastering

Ms Mapule Mphaka, a former St Anthony’s student, was appointed Assistant Bricklaying Instructor Mapule has a great passion for the construction sector. Mr George Mbepe resigned as instructor of the construction course. In the interim John Mooka from the maintenance department was seconded as Assistant Bricklaying and Carpentry Instructor.

Plumbing

Mr Johannes Kotze was appointed as the Plumbing Facilitator after Mr Willy Phakula resigned.

Health and Safety

During 2016 the members of the Health and Safety Committee, Lin Ritchie and Garfield Adams, conducted monthly inspections and no incidents were reported. An evacuation drill is carried out four times a year, which is especially important for new students. All staff members attended a fire fighting course conducted at SAEC.

life Skills

The Centre’s Life Skills Facilitator, Anna Nkele Pule accompanied a team from the CIE Thabiso Skills Institute on a trip to Cape Town to participate in a life skills facilitation course. As part of the training they also helped implement the Thabiso Life Skills Programme with a group of learners. SAEC staff member Ms Pamela Jonkers also attended the Thabiso life skills training at the Mazenod Retreat Centre in preparation for implementing the course in the future.

The life skills programme focuses on developing the coping and conceptual skills of students with a view to them using these skills to improve their quality of life. It gives students the skills needed to cope with their reality and to make and implement plans that will lead to a better future. The Thabiso Life Skills Programme is designed to provide a set of core materials, guidelines and a basic programme framework that can then be adapted and replaced, if necessary, with materials that suit the specific needs of individual learning centres.

St Anthony students come from varied backgrounds and socio-economic environments, and often struggle to face the challenges of living in today’s world.

The life skills programme concentrates on helping them:

n develop a strong positive self-image

n cope with different forms of conflict

n interact with people from different cultures, traditions and belief systems in a respectful and tolerant manner to improve their skills in preparing for and finding work; and

n take responsibility, as a citizen, for the environment and those in need.

A baseline and exit survey of participants was conducted at the beginning and end of each life skills course to assist students in monitoring their progress, as well as to provide the Centre with a better understanding of the challenges faced by each student.

aDveRTISING and MaRKeTING

During 2016 an advertising trailer was used to market St Anthony’s Education Centre and its courses. Advertisements were placed with and interviews conducted by local radio stations, including Ekasi FM which covers the Ekurhuleni area. Ads were placed in the freely distributed local newspaper, the Boksburg Advertiser, as well as in the Daily Sun. Marketing pamphlets were distributed at churches. The St Anthony website is updated regularly and a Facebook page is also used to share current information.

aCCReDITaTION

St Anthony’s Education Centre continues to be accredited as a training provider by the relevant Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). In 2016 it was re-accredited by the Construction SETA (CETA) until March 2018 and by the merSETA for Motor Mechanics until October 2021. For the first time it was also accredited for Diesel Mechanics by merSETA until October 2021.

INTeRNaTIONal YOuTH FOuNDaTION

In 2012 the Centre entered into a 3-year partnership with the International Youth Foundation (IYF) to train and equip young people with the knowledge and relevant skills to enable them to either find meaningful employment in the formal sector, or to use their skills as entrepreneurs. In 2015 the IYF made a decision to reduce the scope of the project from the initial 12 participating countries to six. Fortunately, St. Anthony’s was selected by the IYF to continue to be part of the project as it entered Phase 2. In 2016 Mr Jimmy Thosago, SAEC Skills Training Manager, attended the IYF Global Meeting in the USA to share St Anthony’s experiences in skills training. Unfortunately, during the year the IYF made a decision to change their focus and to work more closely with government. This meant that the IYF funding to the Centre came to an end in November 2016.

OPeN DaY

As in previous years, at the Open Day, the Job Placement Centre focused on informing new companies of St Anthony’s training and placement programmes, and on creating awareness amongst potential trainees about the role of the Placement Centre. The day was very successful, with one school sending all their Gr 10 to Gr 12 learners. Representatives from three schools in the Boksburg and Elsburg regions also attended. Attendance by businesses was adequate, although not as large as expected.

St Anthony’S SucceSS StorieS

Deutz-Diesel Power

In 2016 Ethan Rogers, a graduate of St Anthony’s, completed the first year of an apprenticeship programme with Deutz Diesel Power. Ethan is extremely happy with the programme and the work environment, where he has been assigned to various departments to learn the skills necessary to become a qualified artisan. Deutz has indicated that they are extremely happy with Ethan as well.

Zimalco

Four St Anthony graduates, Christopher Daniels, Keanu Jarvis, Keshell Schalkwyk and Thato Tsotetsi, are completing their work-based training at Zimalco. Christopher is in an apprenticeship programme in diesel mechanics, after which he will attend college to complete his N2. He is also preparing for his trade test. Keanu is completing his 12-month internship in diesel mechanics. Keshell and Thato are both welders who will complete their programme in September 2017.

TveT Colleges

For several years the Centre has engaged with Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in and around Gauteng to open doors for trainees to transition to programmes where they can complete their theoretical training. During 2016 there were several changes in the policies governing TVET colleges, as well as management changes, that affected this relationship.

As a result, numerous meetings were held with the colleges to resolve issues. Fortunately, the outcome was positive and an agreement was reached to continue the relationship. At the same time the Centre will continue to assist its students, who have the requisite practical skill, into opportunities where they would otherwise be hindered by academic barriers.

celebrAtion oF MASS

Festivities for this milestone event began with the Celebration of Mass at St Francis of Assisi parish. The main celebrant was Bishop Duncan Tsoke (OMI), assisted by parish priest Fr Anthony Spencer (OFM) and concelebrants Frs Makhomba Khanyile (OFM), Jeff Jawaheer (OFM), Hyacinth Ennis (OFM), S’phelele Gwanisheni (OFM) and Anselm Prior (OFM).

SiSterS oF MercyFor many decades the Sisters of Mercy have made an enormous contribution to the growth and success of Father Stan Brennan’s vision for St Anthony’s Education Centre. In 1974 a long and fruitful relationship began when a Chapter of the Order of Friars Minor (the Franciscan Order) asked the Sisters of Mercy to help in establishing the adult education programme at St Anthony’s.

Sister Magdalen Green was appointed the first Principal and was responsible for formalizing the Adult Education Centre. She contributed enormously to the growth of the Centre and served on the SAEC Board of Governors for many years. Over the years the Sisters of Mercy also assisted Father Stan in many other ways, such as by helping in the Parish and the outreach programmes.

Alongside are listed some of the Sisters of Mercy who contributed significantly to the Centre’s programmes. The contribution and input made by them and many other Sisters of Mercy will long be remembered by the thousands of people whose lives were changed as a result of their years of unselfish service and dedication.

thth0055ANNIVERSARY

Mass was attended by many special guests, including the Sisters of Mercy, Dominican priests and sisters, Christian brothers, donors and partners, as well as current and former staff and students. All guests were welcomed by David Prinsloo on behalf of the Centre.

In his homily Bishop Duncan reflected on the vision Fr Stan had when he was appointed priest of St Francis of Assisi parish in 1965, which at the time consisted of an old African church-cum-building with no electricity or running water. Fr Stan did everything wholeheartedly and his successes are evident in the many outreach programmes that were established, such as the St Francis Care Centre for terminally-ill HIV patients; the House of Mercy drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre; the Mercy Haven for abused women and children; and St Anthony’s Day Care Centre for the senior citizens of Reiger Park. The Bishop thanked the religious orders, board, management, staff, parents, students and many others who keep the legacy of Fr Stan alive today.

Bishop Duncan shared that he is a product of St Anthony’s Education Centre, where he matriculated, and encouraged students not to waste their time, but to take their studies seriously; keep on dreaming; not be satisfied with second best; and never give up in life.

dedicAtion

Mass was followed by the dedication of the Fr Stan Brennan Bricklaying Workshop, St. Anthony’s new bricklaying shelter that was made possible through a sponsorship from Respond Housing Ireland. After the facility was blessed by Bishop Duncan Tsoke it was officially opened by Jimmy Thosago, SAEC Skills Training Manager. The gathering then proceeded to St Anthony’s library which was blessed by Bishop Duncan and renamed the Fr Stan Brennan Library. It was officially opened by Denis Esau its former long-serving, and now retired, librarian.

50 th AnniverSAry luncheonSt Anthony’s guests were then treated to a stylish luncheon where they were welcomed by the Chairperson of the Board, Brian Mathabela. They were also entertained by the main speaker and Acting Centre Manager, Rose Webb, who shared memories of the history of St Anthony’s, including the people and organisations that assisted Fr Stan in successfully achieving his life-long vision.

Fr Stan had a vision to uplift the local community spiritually through evangelisation and to arm people with education, technical training, and life skills to improve their lives. Despite the many political, social, economic and other challenges that St Anthony’s has faced during its 50 years of existence, it continues to be a hive of activity. Each day it offers training, education, services and support to over 1200 learners and community members from all walks of life, especially those who live in poor communities bordering the Centre.

From those humble beginnings in 1965, St. Anthony’s has grown and matured into an institution that provides opportunity, hope and leadership to the greater Reiger Park community. In 1986 the Franciscan Matric Project was established in response to a need to provide support to students who had either failed matric or were

unable to write exams due to school disruptions because of political unrest in the area. The project was later expanded to include Grade 10 and 11 learners. In 1995 the Centre established its Skills Training Programme to offer vocational skills training to the unemployed and out of school youth over the age of 17. Today these two programmes are the primary training and skill development activities at St Anthony’s.

The official mission of the Centre is: CHANGING THE LIVES OF THOSE WE SERVE. Achieving this is made possible by the many generous donations, partnerships and other forms of support and assistance that its friends and benefactors (including the Order of Friars Minor, St Anthony’s Club, Catholic Women’s Leagues, St Francis and St Dominic’s) provide year after year. A specific example of this generosity was the donation that Maurice O’Connor and the CBC Class of 1965 made towards the costs of the 50th anniversary festivities. The Centre is ever thankful to these individuals and organisations. The Centre stands on the shoulders of giants led by its founder, the late Fr Stan Brennan.

Most importantly, all praise and thanks to God for blessing and sustaining St Anthony’s Education Centre for the past 50 years.

tribute to brother Mel dolAn

09/10/1934 – 30/04/2016

those who have instructed in virtue will shine as Bright as stars for all eternity.

Daniel 12:3

Brother Mel Dolan was born in New York. He joined the Christian Brothers in September 1949 and in December 1959 took his final Vows of Profession. In the sixties he moved to South Africa and began working in schools run by the Christian Brothers, both as a teacher and a principal.

In 1988 Brother Dolan joined St Anthony’s Education Centre where he took on many roles. At first he was a student counsellor and did pastoral care work in the Parish of St Francis of Assisi, Reiger Park. He then worked in the Adult Centre at St Anthony’s teaching mathematics to adult students in night classes. For a number of years he also taught mathematics in the Finishing School until it closed in 1999.

In 2000 he joined the staff of the Franciscan Matric Project where he taught English and Mathematical Literacy, and took charge of the preparation of all Life Skills notes and hand-outs for SAEC. Brother Dolan retired from full-time teaching in 2011 but continued providing administrative support and preparing notes for students.

During his 27 years of service to St Anthony’s Education Centre, Brother Dolan inspired learners as well as staff. He always went about his work quietly and with great humility. His ability to counsel troubled youngsters was amazing and he was a real asset to every programme he worked in. Brother Dolan will continue to be sadly missed by all those to whom he ministered during his years at St Anthony’s.

FundrAiSing reportAs the Centre’s Fundraiser, 2016 was a year of personal growth, learning and development. Fundraising is always a challenge and 2016 was no exception. Over the years many NGO’s have closed their doors, but 50 years on St Anthony’s Education Centre is still giving hope to hundreds of people every year.

The Centre is very pleased with its partnership with Hyundai Automotive South Africa. In October Hyundai handed over motor vehicle equipment and parts for our Motor Mechanic and Diesel Mechanic workshops. The donation is aimed at upskilling trainees in those programmes so they have a better chance of securing future employment at Hyundai. Three female trainees from the Diesel Mechanic programme wrote and passed their aptitude tests and will be starting their apprenticeship programmes with Hyundai in January 2017. St Anthony’s is looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with Hyundai.

In a personal effort to raise funds for the Centre I took part in the inaugural 94.7/FNB Jozi City Run on Heritage Day, 24 September 2016. Through the generosity of many sponsors I was able to raise R17 000 for St Anthony’s. It was a vibrant and enriching experience running/walking through the streets of Johannesburg. I am hoping this will become an annual event with more Centre staff participating and running for St Anthony’s.

In 2016 the Centre entered a partnership with MacSteel’s Usizo Programme that has already proved very successful. The programme is an enterprise development initiative for SMME’s in the metal and engineering sector and St Anthony’s is its official training provider. Through the partnership the Centre provides training to the employees (or potential employees) of the SMMEs; places welding students from St Anthony’s with participating SMMEs in order for them to complete their Work-Based Learning training component; and provides job placement support. In addition, MacSteel made a generous financial commitment of R250 000 to St Anthony’s and donated steel for use in the Welding workshop.

A new initiative to bring in funds is taking place with the Bright Kid Foundation, an organisation which manufactures mobile classrooms. Through it the Welding students gain experiential training by building verandas onto the classrooms and the Centre gets paid for the work.

A cartridge recycling programme has been started with Carbon Footprint Africa. Although this is not a huge money spinner, every little bit counts.

We continue to nurture our relationship with our wonderful supporters and actively seek new donors. There is always scope to create new funding schemes and every avenue is being explored to keep the centre sustainable for the next 50 years. A new Facebook page for St Anthony’s has been created and the website is updated regularly. A quarterly newsletter keeps our donors and friends up to date with the latest events at the Centre.

I would like to thank our Board of Governors for their oversight and guidance. Together with Mancom and our Board, we will make sure that we can continue to provide exceptional services to all our beneficiaries.

FUNDRAISER

RevIeW OF THe YeaR

Against a backdrop of another financially difficult year, we ended the year with a bank balance of R4.4 million.

In summary, total income was R1.3 million less than last year and expenditure decreased by R481K; this resulted in a small deficit for the year of R137K. Unfortunately, we were unable to build the operating reserves as planned when the 2016 budget was drawn up.

Income for the year was R20.9 million and came mostly from student fees, the school subsidy, donations or grants and rent, together with some income generated through the hire of facilities, sales from workshops and recoveries.

Income received from student fees totalling R9 million dropped by R1.3 million compared with last year. This was as result of the Department of Social Development discontinuing their poverty alleviation programme funding to assist Skills trainees, as well as a decrease in the number of student enrolments in the Franciscan Matric Project.

For the second consecutive year, donations of R4 million were recorded. The school subsidy decreased by R267K on last year’s income to R4.5million. The 4th term subsidy was short-paid by the Gauteng Department of Education; the shortfall of R186K has subsequently been paid in the 2017 financial year. A further R2.3 million was received from rent. Rental income was R170K higher than last year and continues the trend for year-on-year increases in income from rent agreements.

Expenditure for the year was R21.1 million. The majority of this expenditure was for personnel costs which include the employer’s contribution to UIF, retirement funding, death and disability as well as funeral benefits. Personnel costs were R15.5 million for the year, R455K less than last year. Salaries were increased by a 6% cost

Other significant costs included security and municipal costs

which increased by R96K and R73K respectively from last year.

Night security for the main campus w a s outsourced to a service provider which resulted in costs totalling R377K for the year. Municipal costs increased to R638K due to a ‘catch-up period’ for water usage (Erf 112).

Acquisition of assets recorded for the year was R485K, compared to R554K in 2015. Of this R159K were donations in kind received from Hyundai Automotive SA and Vital Engineering.

CHalleNGeS

Unfortunately the Department of Social Development discontinued funding the Skills Project because the cost structure of the courses did not align with their poverty alleviation model. The funding would support financial security planning for the future of the Skills Training Programmes which provide skills training to those who cannot afford to go to more expensive establishments.

COMMeNT

Significant effort was spent during the year applying for and securing funding for the current and future years. Whilst we were unable to secure adequate funding for the Skills Project, we remain confident that the contacts established will result in a successful outcome. It is necessary that funding resources cover operating costs to remain financially viable.

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Board of Governors of St anthony’s education Centre npC

We have audited the Annual Financial Statements of St Anthony’s Education Centre NPC, as set out in pages 7 to 18, which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2016, and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ responsibility for the annual Financial Statements

The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Annual Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities and requirements of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Annual Financial Statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Annual Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Annual Financial Statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Annual Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation and fair presentation of the Annual Financial Statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Annual Financial Statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

opinion

In our opinion, the Annual Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of St Anthony’s Education Centre NPC as at 31 December 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and the requirements of the Companies Act 71 of 2008.

Supplementary Information

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that supplementary information set out on pages 19 to 21 does not form part of the Annual Financial Statements and is presented as additional information. We have not audited this information and accordingly do not express an opinion thereon.

other reports required by the Companies act

As part of our audit of the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, we have read the Directors’ Report for the purpose of identifying whether there are material inconsistencies between this report and the audited Annual Financial Statements. The directors’ report is the responsibility of the directors. Based on reading this report we have not identified material inconsistencies between it and the audited Annual Financial Statements. However, we have not audited this directors’ report and accordingly do not express an opinion thereon.

Accounting Policies

1. presentation of annual Financial Statements The Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting

Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and the Companies Act 71 of 2008. The Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. They are presented in South African Rands.

These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.

1.1 Significantjudgementsandsourcesofestimationuncertainty In preparing the Annual Financial Statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the Annual Financial Statements and related disclosures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the Annual Financial Statements.

1.2 property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or

services, for rental to others or for administrative purpose; and are expected to be used during more than one period.

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method to write down the cost, less estimated residual value over the useful life of the property, plant and equipment as follows:

Item average useful life Buildings 25 years Leasehold improvements 5 years Machinery 3 years Furniture and fixtures 1 year Motor vehicles 4 years Office equipment 3 years Communication equipment 5 years Fire control 15 years Scaffolding 5 years Security 6 years Engines and components 5 years

The residual value, depreciation method and useful life of each asset are reviewed at each annual reporting period if there are indicators present that there has been a significant change from the previous estimate.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item and that has significantly different patterns of consumption of economic benefits is depreciated separately over their useful lives.

Gains and losses are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss in the period.

Land is not depreciated and is deemed to have an infinite life.

Buildings which are erected on land owned by the Roman Catholic Church of Johannesburg and registered in the name of the Association of the South African Province of Friars Minor Limited, have been considered as assets. Due to the location in which the buildings are situated, they are deemed to have no residual value.

1.3 Financial Instruments

Initial measurement Financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction price (including transaction costs except in the

initial measurement of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss) unless the arrangement constitutes, in effect, a financing transaction in which case it is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.



Accounting Policies

Financial instruments at amortised cost These include loans, trade receivables and trade payables. Those debt instruments which meet the criteria in

section 11.8(b) of the standard, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments which are classified as current assets or current liabilities are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash expected to be received or paid, unless the arrangement effectively constitutes a financing transaction.

Financial instruments at cost Commitments to receive a loan are measured at cost less impairment.

Equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

1.4 Impairment of assets The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

If there is any such indication, the recoverable amount of any affected asset (or group of related assets) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or group of related assets) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or group of assets) in prior years. A reversal of impairment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.5 Share capital and equity If the company reacquires its own equity instruments, those instruments are deducted from equity. No gain

or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the company’s own equity instruments. Consideration paid or received shall be recognised directly in equity.

1.6 Employeebenefits

Short-termemployeebenefits The cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as

leave pay, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.

1.7 revenue Student fee income is recognised when the fees are paid.

Subsidies and donations received consist of restricted and unrestricted funds.

Restricted funds are recognised in terms of the donor’s requirement for their use. The unused funds are reflected in current liabilities as “Project funding reserve”.

Unrestricted funds are recognised when received.

Interest is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.

Rental income is accounted for as it is received from the tenants.

1.8 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and current bank accounts which are all available for use by the

company unless otherwise stated.

1.10 Otherfinancialliabilities Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on the basis of the effective interest method.
