Bring jou tekkies en bring jou tokse Skenk ou tekkies of toks aan leerders wie se ouers dit nie finansieel kan bekostig nie. Skole en instansies kan betrokke raak deur te help met die insameling van die sportskoene.

Die skopafrigter Vlok Cilliers en die Springbok-losskakel Morné Steyn het hul kragte saamgesnoer om `n verskil in die lewe van jong mense met sporttalent te maak. Cilliers het in 2020 die Tekkies-en-Toks-projek, in samewerking met Solidariteit Helpende Hand, begin om behoeftige kinders te help wat nie rugbystewels of tekkies kan bekostig nie. AWSUM is trots om van 2022 ook as mediavennoot by die projek betrokke te kan wees.

Hoe raak ons skool betrokke en skenk ek as ouer skoene?

The risks of supplements As parents or guardians, you know that the pressure to train hard, compete and achieve at a high level can lead athletes to entertain dangerous options. Saids is the Institute for Drug-Free Sport in S.A. AWSUM asked them why we should be concerned about the risks of supplements and they share the facts.

The general assumption in school learners is that supplements will improve their performance on the sport field and that it is a ‘quick fix’ to reach your goals. This might be due to the confusing, sometimes dubious, claims on supplement labels. A scary fact is that one of the boys who tested positive for anabolic steroids during the Craven Week Rugby Tournament in 2018, revealed taking 18 different supplements, ranging from protein shakes and ‘mass builders’, to pre-workouts, energy boosters, etc.

Why should we be alarmed if the following claims “scientifically tested”, “proven”, “healthy”, “specifically designed for youth”, “superior”, “drug-free” appear on the supplement packaging?

It is unethical marketing and outright false claims of efficacy and safety and provides hidden risks that consumers are not always aware of. In fact, researchers from the University of KZN did an analysis of 15 Whey Protein Shakes from the top-selling brands in SA and found that 9 out of the 15 were non-compliant with labelling regulations, and deliberately manipulated and overstated the protein and amino-acid content of the products.

Are supplements being tested sufficiently?

No. In reality, the majority of supplements on the market have not been sufficiently tested or scrutinised by an independent health authority, such as the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). This problem is not unique to South Africa, but is a global concern.

What are the dangerous ingredients that were found in supplements?

Prescription drugs, banned substances, heavy metals, pesticides, and other dangerous chemicals. In one study, researchers analised the contents of 134 top-selling protein supplements available via the internet - many were found to contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, BPA (found in plastic) and other chemicals linked to cancer, liver damage and other ill-health effects3. In a study conducted by the University of Cape Town (UCT), 138 popular Protein Shakes from leading brands available on the SA market were tested for melamine content (found in plastic). The use of melamine in food production is not approved by WHO as it is related to kidney stones and kidney failure.

Melamine is sometimes illegally added to food products to increase their ‘apparent’ protein content. The UCT researchers found that 57% of imported and 82% of locally produced protein shakes tested positive for melamine. Though the concentration was below toxic levels per se, there is a risk related to the amount of product the consumer will be taking (dosage), frequency, duration, and/or number of supplements the individual will be taking.

Can these ingredients, that exceed safety limits, cause medical problems or hospitalization?

A study report from Harvard Medical School looked at the number of ill-health events reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System between 2004 to 2015. They found 977 adverse event reports in the 0 – 25 year age group2. Around 40% had severe medical outcomes, including hospitalization and death.

Supplements sold for muscle-building, weight loss and energy were associated with almost 3 x the risk for severe medical outcomes compared to vitamins.

Can supplements be taken as a supplement to nutritional needs?

Advertising such as: “supplements specially designed for youth”, or that “young athletes need supplements to perform / bulk-up”, or “a normal diet is not enough” is concerning.

These claims have no scientific grounds and contradicts evidence-based consensus on the value of “food first” for youth as best support for optimal health, growth and development and sporting performance (over the short- and long-term).

Particularly in youth, a dietary supplement should only be considered (for as short duration as possible) to correct a clinically diagnosed dietary deficiency and taken under appropriate health professional guidance e.g. Registered Dietitian, who can address and optimise dietary intake as the main focus. A Dietitian can also help do a risk vs. benefit analysis and help identify low-risk products, if needed.

Parents should note that SAIDS supports the views of leading health and sport authorities from around the world (including the IOC) that deems it inappropriate and unethical for active and competitive adolescent athletes to be encouraged to consume dietary supplements for performance-enhancement.

Sailing Achievement Patrick Kessel (Year 9) and his crew mate took part in the 29er Nationals in Mossel Bay earlier this year. A fleet of 10 boats from all over South Africa sailed the 4-day 15 races regatta. It was a close and hard fought regatta in which Patrick and his crew mate finished 3rd overall, one point short of 2nd place.

Patrick and his crew mate have been sailing together for only 6 months, coming from an Optimist and Dabchick background. The 29er is a two-person high performance sailing skiff. It is derived from the 49er Olympic class and raced in the ISAF Youth Sailing World Championships.

Currently, Patrick and his crew mate are in Germany taking part in Kiel Week, one of the biggest sailing events in the World. After Kiel week, they are going to sail the 29er European Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark.

We wish them the best of luck!

Wiskunde Olipmiade

Leoné Miljo in graad 8 het die afgelope naweek die 4de plek by die Suid-Afrikaanse skopbokskampioenskappe behaal!

Ons is baie trots op drie Jan van Riebeeckers wat deurdring na die 2de ronde van die uitdagende Universiteit van Kaapstad-wiskundeolimpiade. Hierdie drie manne eindig in die Top 20 van hul onderskeie ouderdomsgroepe.

Redenaars Phillip Herbst is ‘n wáre Jan van Riebeecker: tops in akademie, kultuur tot sport - hy neem óral deel... en presteer boonop keer op keer.

Hy was vroeër die kwartaal ook een van die hoofrolle in ‘Hairspray’ en het werklik beïndruk met sy vertolking as Wilbur Turnblad.

Ons ontvang boonop gister die uitstekende nuus dat Phillip ál die graad 12-redenaars in die provinsie uitgestof het in vanjaar se Radikale Redenaars-kompetisie en verteenwoordig nou die Wes-Kaap op 22 Oktober in Gauteng by die nasionale finale ronde.

Phillip ontvang vandag tydens ons saalbyeenkoms die ‘Jan van Riebeecker van die week’-toekenning vir sy veelsydigheid en redenaarsprestasie!

Sy het ook ‘n borgskap losgeslaan en sal voortaan vir haar deelname in die sport geborg word.

Baie geluk, Leoné - ons is baie trots op jou!

Over the 6-day event, Zack received a total of 9 medals and won a Gold Medal in the Lifesaving Iron Man, which is known as the most challenging Life-Saving race where all 4 disciplines of Life-Saving are tested – board, swim, surf-ski, and run.

Sasha Mosig (E2022) recently competed at the Polo d’Aloja International Rowing Regatta on Lake Piediluco in Italy. It is the home race course of the Italian national team, and the regatta is characterised by a very high competitive level due to the presence of numerous Olympic and world champions.

Sasha won the Bronze Medal in the U19 Men’s Single Scull, narrowly missing out to Greece and Italy.

We congratulate Sasha on such an excellent achievement as he flew the Bosch and South African flags high at this prestigious international event.

Last month Sasha won the Gold Medal at the South African Rowing Championships, also in the U19 Single Scull. And Silver with his fellow Bosch rowers in the U19 Quad.

WYNBERG BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL Rugby

Leadership 2023

After a year with no schools' winter sports, followed by a constrained season with no spectators, Wynberg Boys' High School 1st XV Rugby returned in top gear to claim the triple crown in the southern suburbs Premier A league on Saturday 11 June 2022. Hard-fought wins at home against Rondebosch and away vs Bishops were followed by a spectacular day's competition against old rivals SACS on the Wynberg fields to deliver three out of three and the second term bragging rights for WBHS. Arguably the oldest South African boys' school derby, the matches against SACS delivered a decisive set of results for the home side: played 17, won 14, drew 2, and lost 1. Adding to the 1st XV's triple were the matching crowns for Wynberg's u.16A, u.14A, u.14B, and u.14C sides - all played out in front of capacity crowds and the roaring support of the school, families, and Old Boys.

Congratulations to Xolela Hoyi and Nicholas van Schalkwyk on their election as Head and Deputy Head Prefects for 2023 respectively. A huge honour and leadership responsibility bestowed on them by their peers with confidence and support of the WBHS Staff.

Congratulations, too, to Hawthornden House Captain, Tristan Munz, on his appointment as a Silver Badge Prefect and member of this year's prefect leadership team. #SuperaMoras

While the day's excitement remains fresh in the minds of the players and supporters, the coaches will be mindful that there's a short, hard, second round in the third term and there will be no doubt that the suburban opposition will be looking to redress the balance. It's going to be a cracking ride to the season's finish in August!
