Pret in landloopland

Verskeie laerskole van die Paarl en Wellington asook Swartland, het deelgeneem aan ’n landloop-kompetisie wat by VoorGroenberg Primêr in Wellington gehou is. Die omgewing het alles gebied om die roete ’n landloop "droom" te maak. Die eerste deel was deur ’n gras-area waar die beeste daardie oggend nog gewei het. Daar was water, modder, ’n donga en ’n paadjie deur olyfboorde, voordat die laaste deel op die grondpad na die skool aangedurf is. Die leerders het die kompetisie terdeë geniet ten spyte daarvan dat hulle vir die vale moes hardloop om die eindstreep te haal.

UWC supports school science The Rector of the University of the Western Cape (UWC), Prof Brian O’Connell and Director of the Garden Cities Archway Foundation, Myrtle February, recently opened a brand new UWC Science Learning Centre at the Paulus Joubert Secondary School.

The Science Learning Centre for Africa of UWC (UWC-SLCA) has won a number of awards for its farreaching support programmes to improve the teaching and learning of science and mathematics.

To expedite this process it has teamed up with corporate organisations to improve the infrastructure where these gateway subjects are taught to provide creative space in which teachers and learners can interact with science and technology.

UWC-SLCA, in partnership with the Garden Cities Archway Foundation,has constructed 19 science laboratories or UWC Science Learning Centres (SLCs) at Western Cape Schools. This brings the number of SLCs to 23, with a further three planned for this year.

The construction of science learning centres is an extension of the curriculum support provided by UWC-SLCA to reward committed science teachers, school management and learners.

The results of learners and teachers in national and international benchmark tests paint a bleak picture highlighting a national crisis.

Games to continue The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS), in partnership with the Western Cape Older Person Forum and Age in Action, will host the Provincial Golden Games Event for Senior Citizens from 60 years and older at the Blue Downs Sport Stadium on 30 August.

Participants from all six districts in the Western Cape will take part in the event, competing in athletic activities and recreation activities. Entry to the event is free.

These eager scholars in the new Science Learning Centre at the Paulus Joubert Secondary School are, Léshae Herandine, Pausha Ruiters, Haylene Williams, Kechia-Leigh Adams and Shanique Sass.

PHOTO: DEVIDEAN MOSES According to Director of UWCSLCA, Prof. Shaheed Hartley: “We have to start with the basics, supporting teachers to regain confidence to teach science with advanced levels of understanding, knowledge and teaching skills.

“We have to be creative in providing learners with opportunities that will draw their interest and willingness to learn.

“A culture of science teaching and learning will be a good start to improve National Science Centre and other assessments.

“Confident and knowledgeable science teachers in the environment of UWC Science Learning Centres is a step in the right direction.

“It’s a wonderful achievement for our school to receive this major sponsorship. Our learners and teachers deserve it,” says principal Tommy Kearns.

Bodies wanting to support this initiative by UWC-SLCA. are encouraged to make contact with the Director of UWC-SLCA, Prof Hartley 021 959 2680 or send an email to slca@uwc.ac.za.

Take care with PINs and ATMs Research at FNB and VISA reveals that while the overall awareness of card fraud is high, 42% of respondents share their bank card PINs. The bank is always looking at ways to improve security, but certain key fraud factors are the responsibility of both the bank and its customers.

“We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping personal banking information secret,” says Athaly Khan, Head of Fraud at FNB Credit Card. “The risk of sharing PINs or writing them down is twofold: there is a bigger chance of being defrauded and you may see activity that you did not authorise.”

Fraud cases are investigated on an individual basis, but a refund is unlikely if the original card and PIN were used for the transaction.

“Where the original card and its PIN were used, we often find that card owners have shared their details.

“This is seen as customer authorisation and will decrease the likelihood of a refund,” notes Khan.

Counterfeit card fraud, on the other hand, is the result of a series

of compromises, where the fraudsters skim and clone a card and then use the PIN, obtained through “shoulder surfing” or installed cameras, to access a customer’s funds. It is therefore critical that customers remain vigilant when entering their PINs at ATMs and point of sale (POS) devices, to avoid shoulder surfing.

Despite these factors, card usage is on the up as the safest transacting method, but only if you don’t note down your PIN or share it.

When keying in your PIN at a POS device, make sure that you: • Never let the card out of sight • Retrieve the card after paying • Cover the pad when keying in the PIN • Keep the slip in case your transaction is declined • Never accept assistance and don’t draw money if you feel unsafe.

• Cancel your card if it is swallowed or you think you may have been a victim of fraud • Don’t draw money at an ATM with a blank screen and never force your card into an ATM slot.

You, the entrepreneur: are you starting or buying a business?

DAVID MALHERBE Starting your own business takes a lot of effort; you create something that was not there previously. It is hard to break new ground, but if you can pull it off, it gives great satisfaction.

There are many things to attend to when starting from scratch. The most important is to create a structure for the business.

Part of creating a structure is to get suppliers for goods and services you need.

So, if you are a manufacturer, where will you buy raw materials?

Who will service machines? etc. In retail you need wholesale suppliers for the goods you want to re-

sell, suppliers of shelving, etc. But in all businesses you need administration and bookkeeping services and you need to determine what time of the year or month to perform certain tasks.

A friend of mine has a business that sells fishing, swimming and diving gear in a coastal town.

He told me that in August, when few people enter his shop, he orders large quantities of stock to have it available during the December/January season. During that time, his suppliers close their businesses and he cannot restock

Do you produce Mbekweni Muffins or Chicago Chocolates? Or maybe Klein Drakenstein Cookies or Smartie Town Sweets? Drakenstein Gazette wants to find out more about entrepreneurs who operate their unique businesses from their homes, making interesting products. In today’s tough economy, starting your own business is the solution.

Not only do you create work for yourself, but for others as well. Send us a description of your business, or come and tell us about it.

Once a month the Gazette Entrepreneur of the Month will be selected. The winner will receive a promotional article in the Drakenstein Gazette and an advertisement to boost his or her business. To enter or for more information, call 021 870 4614; email drakenstein@media24.com or visit our office at 1a New Street, Paarl.

until the end of January.

Creating structure is often a matter of trial and error and the mistakes that you make during the process are good but hard lessons.

That is why some prefer buying a business and so receive the whole structure already in place, although you pay a pretty penny for it.

Many a business that is for sale may be in some sort of financial trouble and in my experience often overpriced. Therefore, be cautious if you consider buying instead of starting a business.

When you start a business from scratch, you grow your ability to manage the business as it grows.

Should you buy an existing business and have never been in business before, you may find that you lack the skills to manage what is expected of you.

I have seen educated people getting into the deep-end when buying or inheriting businesses only to lose the lot a year or two later.

Unfortunately you can’t buy the ability to manage along with the business. Only experience will do. * David Malherbe is a businessand career consultant and lives in Wellington. He can be contacted via his web page www.jedidiah.org.za or T/F 021 873 0262 or on Facebook at “Jy die Entrepreneur.”

Inskrywings vir KANSA-aflos open Die inskrywings vir Februarie 2015 se Kansa Relay For Life sluit vanjaar reeds in November.

Kansa se Relay For Life is ’n vrywilliger-gedrewe gemeenskapsprojek gemik daarop om die hele gemeenskap te betrek.

Die hoofdoel van Relay For Life is om kankeroorwinnaars te eer en ook diegene wat die stryd verloor het.

Bewusmaking word gedoen en terselfdertyd word geld ingesamel om dienste, waaronder voorkoming en pasiëntesorg, aan die gemeenskap gelewer word.

Relay For Life is simbolies van die kankerpasiënt se wedloop en ’n geleentheid waar spanne, besighede, kerkgroepe, families en sportspanne (10 - 15 persone) ’n tent langs die baan opslaan, dit versier en spanne deur die nag (van 18:00

tot 06:00) om die baan loop.

Deelneming simboliseer dat enigeen deur die siekte geraak kan word, maar met elke tree groei die hoop dat kanker eendag oorwin kan word.

Spanne kan stalletjies oprig en deur die nag produkte verkoop as deel van hul geldinsameling vir Kansa.

Luminaria-sakkies wat tydens die luminaria-seremonie (21:00) gebruik word, kan vooraf ook by die Relay For Life teen R10 gekoop word. Dié sakkies kan versier word en opgedra word aan ’n kankeroorwinnaar of aan iemand wat die stryd teen kanker verloor het.

Dan volg pret en plesier vir die res vir die nag. Inskrywing is by die spankaptein-vergadering 17 September 19:00 by Allandale Korrektiewe Dienste se Ontspanningsaal. Bel Sunette Swanepoel, 083 741 2348 of Christa Claassen, 023 342 7058.

This year, Casual Day celebrates its 20th birthday with the theme “Bring out the Bling” and the colour for this year is “dazzle blue”. Casual Day is on Friday 5 September and you can make a difference by donating R10 for a Casual Day sticker. Your contribution helps to improve the lives of persons with disabilities. Stickers are available from Sunfield Home Wellington (021 873 5038), Ligstraal School (021 862 7182), the Drakenstein Centre for Persons with Disabilities (021 863 0446) or Deafsa (021 870 1345).
