Larrie clubs: A world of opportunity awaits

Mila Malherbe

La Rochelle het nog altyd ’n groot verskeidenheid van buitemuurse aktiwiteite aan leerders gebied, maar gedurende die laaste twee jaar is leerders al meer met ’n verskeidenheid van keuses bederf

Van die gevestigde klubs in die skool is al vernuwe om by veranderende tye aan te pas, terwyl baie nuwe opsies ook deesdae tot leerders se beskikking is.

Our Outdoor club has many outings and offers badges to those who attend all the hikes They enjoy nature's breath and admire the beautiful landscape of the Western Cape area

The photography club has a brand-new coordinator, Gerda Barnard who matriculated in 2019 For this term, the focus is on portraits

Anyone can join the club – there is no need to own a camera Developing this skill is a vital part of the times we live in.

The Art club started last year and is creating an outlet for the artists of our school The Art Club is giving learners a place to explore art mediums, without being a serious environment such as having art as a subject. The art club explores what it truly means to be an artist at heart, it helps develop skills and builds friendships with people that have similar interests

Our clubs are evolving to create a home for every Larrie.

Die beste deel van al die klubs is die feit dat jy soveel mense met dieselfde passie en belangstellings kan ontmoet Soos wat leerders saam kennis opbou, soos byvoorbeeld met die Wetenskapklub se eksperimente, word hulle in staat gestel om nuwe vaardighede te ontwikkel én om nuwe vriendskapsbande te smee Buiten die vaardighede en vriendskappe is daar natuurlik ook die herinneringe en nuwe ervarings wat elke klub aan leerders bied.

Daar is ook ’n lewendige wisselwerking tussen die onderskeie klubs So maak die Avanti byvoorbeeld gebruik van die lede van die fotografie-klub se foto’s en die Groenkomitee dryf ook die Eko-klub.

These clubs, though fun, do require commitment from its participants Many of them work on long term projects and for that, it is important that the learners attend, since it can take a few sessions to complete. Our captains and chairladies are proof of this commitment. These are the young women who keep the boards updated, relay information to the members and keep these clubs alive

Our learners are gifted with many opportunities, in sport, culture and academics. So, grab hold of them and when you do, stand steadfast in your commitment to them After all, our clubs would not exist without passionate groups of learners who work hard to not only sustain, but help our clubs improve, evolve and move forward.
