Bernice West se Lyfie het skole aan die dans
Bernice West, naaswenner van die realiteitsreeks, Maak My Famous, het `n uitdaging aan sosiale media gebruikers gerig. Al wat gebruikers moet doen is om haar te “tag” soos hulle dans op haar weergawe van Lyfie, en die wenner kry ’n kans om dit saam met haar by een van haar konserte te dans op die verhoog.
Skole het nie op hulle laat wag nie en reeds gesorg vir verskeie videos op sosiale media. Haar album, Jona, is deur die loop van 2022 uitgereik en een van die liedjies op die album het egter op ander maniere aandag getrek! Platebaas van Inhoud Huis Musiek, Johan Vorster, het die gawe om treffers te identifiseer. Hy het die lied, Lyfie, ‘n paar jaar gelede gehoor en geweet daar is iets groter in as wat mense dink!
Bernice staan sinoniem met inspirasie en iemand waarna mense opkyk, insluitend ouer mense. Alhoewel sy haar eie musiek skryf het die platemaatskappy die liedjie aan haar voorgestel met ‘n opname in gedagte. Bernice het die potensiaal gehoor, 100% in die liedjie in gekoop en dit haar eie gemaak! Haar unieke aanslag op die vervaardiging saam met Johan en Robin Kielly het die land aan die dans!
Jannes Erasmus noem: “Ons het die duisende Lyfie dans videos op alle sosiale media platforms gesien die afgelope maand en net opnuut besef dat die boodskap van Lyfie soveel hoop aan almal bring wat dit hoor!”
Die lied het alreeds sy verskyning op trefferparades gemaak na aanleiding van stromingsdienste se data en dit is die bewys dat luisteraars dit graag sal wil hoor op radiostasies!

Interesting facts of FIFA World Cup 2022
20 November – 18 December 2022
It marks the first World Cup to take place in an Arab nation and only the second to be held in Asia after World Cup 2002, which was hosted in Japan and South Korea. This will also be the first time that the event will take place this late during the year, due to the extreme summer climate in Qatar.
First-ever Winter World Cup
The 2022 edition of the competition would be the first-ever winter World Cup, if considered from the northern hemisphere. The World Cup usually takes place in mid-year but when it came to Qatar, an exception just had to be thrown.
The Most Expensive
As per an estimate, Qatar is spending a whopping $200 billion on infrastructure projects. That’s nearly 10x more than the next most expensive World Cups, Brazil (£11.6 billion) and Russia (£14.2 billion). This is partly because Qatar is building seven brand new stadiums from scratch. It’s also nearly 64x the $3.5 billion South Africa invested in its World Cup. This will make the upcoming event one of the most expensive World Cups in the history of the game.
Fewest Stadiums
Only eight stadiums have been lined up by Qatar to host the World Cup which is the lowest number of venues for the World Cup in recent years. In fact, out of all the eight venues selected to host the tournament, only one got revamped completely while seven are being newly constructed in the country.
Record Number of Visitors
As per an estimate, the Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup may well end up receiving a record number of visitors by the time the tournament comes to an end. The country expects to welcome the largest influx of over 1 million international spectators . It’s estimated that 1,300 incoming flights will land in the country daily throughout the competition. The reason behind this is easy to grasp. Being one of the finest countries in the Middle East, Qatar’s convenient geographic location makes it lie in close proximity to most nations.
the FIFA World Cup in fully air-conditioned stadiums. All eight venues in Qatar will be fully air-conditioned, providing a comfortable viewing experience to fans while making the conditions good enough for players to perform on the pitch. That translates to roughly 43,560 household air conditioners per stadium or a whole lot of industrial fans.
The Second One In Asia
Not only will Qatar be the first-ever Middle Eastern nation to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022, but it will also be only the second time when the prestigious competition takes centre stage in Asia. The first time it happened was in 2002 when Japan and South Korea co-hosted the FIFA event for the first time in Asia.

BTS’ Jungkook will perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup’s opening ceremony in Qatar and appear on the tournament’s official soundtrack.
The opening ceremonies will happen on Sunday, Nov. 20, at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.
The
Most Commutable Qatar is a small country. It is, in fact, way smaller than the host of the World Cup 2018, Russia. Since the size of the country is so small, commuting from one place to another here is not a big hassle. Host cities like Doha, Lusail, Al Wakrah, and Al Rayyan are located in close proximity to each other. Hence, moving from one venue to the other wouldn’t be a big hassle for travelers. Another interesting fact is the two most remote stadiums of Qatar -- Al Bayt and Al Wakrah -- are only 90 miles apart.
Air-Conditioned Stadiums
One of the most important points to note about the host nation for FIFA 2022 is the fact that Qatar receives distressingly high temperatures during day times. To tackle the issue, Qatar came up with an audacious solution. For the first time ever, a country is set to host
FIFA announced the official soundtrack for the World Cup earlier this year.
It includes three massive tracks — “Hayya Hayya (Better Together),” “Arhbo” and “Light the Sky” — that will dominate the airwaves during the world’s biggest soccer tournament.

Dink nuut oor drukwerk by jou skool!
Die Skole Ondersteuningsentrum het onlangs die voorbeeld gebruik: om klein veranderinge aan die manier waarop inhoud oorgedra word te maak, is soos om `n kamer aan `n ou huis aan te bou. Ja, dit lyk goed, en elke kamer het sy funksie en ons doen ons bes met wat ons het. Wanneer jy egter uit die staanspoor en vir ‘n spesifieke doel ‘n nuwe, moderne, ontwerpte huis binnestap, sal jy nie terugtrek na jou ou huis toe nie, maar eerder die ou huis afbreek en van nuuts af bou.
Hoe vernuwe jy drukwerk by jou skool?
Werksboeke, addisionele leermateriaal of skryfboeke is `n kopseer vir elke skool. Nie net neem dit ure om dit by die skool te bind nie, maar dit kan ook binne `n paar weke uitmekaar val. Met vandag se tegnologie is die prys vir swart en wit boeke basies dieselfde as vir kleur.
Die bindwerk verseker ook dat jou boeke waaraan jy so hard gewerk het, die hele jaar sal hou!
Raak kreatief met voorblaaie!
Het jy geweet skole kan deesdae die skryfboeke van die leerders laat druk met die skool se kleure op die voorblad? Dit skep nie net eenvormigheid by die skool nie, maar is reeds gelamineer en daarom hoef dié boeke nie oorgetrek te word nie. Die skool kan self besluit hoe breed die lyne moet wees en verkoop dan dié boeke weer aan die leerders as deel van `n fondsinsameling vir die skool.

Die prys vir die boeke hang af van die hoeveelheid boeke wat bestel word. Jy sal nie glo hoe bekostigbaar dit is nie.

Grade 11s: Invest in your academics now, reap the rewards later
Grade 11 students preparing for their final exams of the year should aim to perform at their very best and go the extra mile where needed, as this year’s marks will not only help them start their final year off on a strong footing, but also make their road a little easier come 2023, an education expert says.
“Students and parents often consider Matric to be ‘the big one’ in terms of their academic journey, but Grade 11 is actually a very important foundational year, and performing well can make a major logistical and performance impact down the line,” says Wonga Ntshinga, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s leading private higher education provider.
“It is therefore important not to cruise along if you have been doing so, thinking that you’ll give it your all next year. Consider how seriously you will be taking your Matric final exams, and then try and replicate that effort right now in preparation for your Grade 11 finals,” he advises. Ntshinga says Grade 11 should be viewed as a foundation upon which Matric success is built, and is effectively a launch pad for one’s final year of school. So by positioning that launch pad as favourably as possible, a student will enter Grade 12 with much-needed momentum, insight and strategy.
One of the most important reasons for excelling at the end of Grade 11, is because these results can be used to gain provisional acceptance into the student’s public university or private higher education institution and qualification of choice, says Ntshinga. “Nobody knows what the future holds, so if you can start your final year of school with excellent marks, you already have a winning ticket in your back pocket. It will take significant stress off of you to know that you are
already able to start investigating your higher education options, and start applying without having to wait in the back of the queue until you are able to submit good marks achieved in Grade 12.
“Furthermore, you will be able to get applications out of the way earlier, before they start flooding into institutions. This will free up valuable mental and emotional energy which you can apply with lazer focus to your Matric studies. And finally, if you start out poorly in Matric, you then also know you have something to fall back on while you work on improving your grades.” Leaving applications until later in the year will likely mean one’s options become more limited, as spaces would already have started filling up, Ntshinga notes.
Viewing Grade 11 final exam preparations as part of the Matric year will also help students improve their Matric performance, he says.
“Your Grade 11 performance, including your preparation, your composure during the writing of the exams, and your actual grades, provide an invaluable baseline from which you can strategise your final school year. Devising a strategy before you set foot in the halls of Grade 12 in January will help you work smarter on the way to peak end-of-year performance.”
Baie geluk aan al die nuwe leiers en met almal se prestasies! Respect!
High demand careers: How to get a start without a university degree
As hundreds of thousands of Matric students consider their study and career options for next year, many won’t have the option of going to university for three years to earn a degree. The good news is that some of the highest in-demand jobs in South Africa can be accessed without a graduate degree, an education expert says.
“While it is unfortunately so that university study isn’t accessible to everyone, whether it be because of finances, personal circumstances, or academic results, that doesn’t mean Matric is the end of the road for these young people,” says Siyavuya Makubalo, Marketing Manager at Oxbridge Academy, a private college that serves more than 20 000 South African distance learning students every year.
She says some of the most in-demand careers, as identified recently in a large survey by jobs portal Career Junction, are within attainable reach of young people who can’t or don’t want to go to university, whether because of circumstances or personal choice.
According to the Career Junction survey, job seekers within admin, office & support, and warehousing and logistics, have been experiencing improved employment prospects since the start of 2022, with vacancies increasing by over 17% since the fourth quarter of 2021.
Client and customer support, admin clerk, human resources, secretarial positions and call centre leadership positions have all seen a marked increase, according to the survey.
“This should come as excellent news to ambitious young people who want to further their studies and equip themselves with the skills and accreditation they need to get a foot in the door of these industries,” says Makubalo.
“Because all of these careers are accessible through vocational training, part-time and via distance learning. This means that even if you need to start work after Matric, you can still start developing your skills in a specific sector. In addition to getting you ready for a specific career, vocational training is often shorter in duration, and fees are also likely to be lower.”
Furthermore, vocational training allows students to build on previous qualifications within the NQF framework, meaning that they can start searching for a position within an industry upon achieving their first qualification, and then continue to build upon their qualifications while working. Makubalo points out that students considering vocational training and distance study should ensure their institution of choice equips them appropriately to contribute to the workplace from day one.
“When looking at distance learning options, ask the institution how they ensure students gain the practical knowledge and skills they need to find a job, over and above the theoretical principles that form part of the curriculum. Additionally, ask them about Work Integrated Learning opportunities, student support and how their qualifications are structured to allow for further study.”
Makubalo points out that National Courses, for instance, are nationally accredited and equip students with the vocational skills and formal qualifications that prepare them for working in their chosen field. Students who completed a course at N6 level, combined with evidence of 18 months relevant practical experience, may go on to apply for a National Diploma. There are also Short Learning Programmes designed to equip students with workplace-relevant knowledge and skills in a short period of time.
“The jobs marketplace remains highly competitive, but it should come as some comfort that some professionals remain in- high -demand, and even more so that these high-in demand professions are not catering exclusively to university graduates. We encourage young people to consider their options to reach their full potential and eventually professional success. The road isn’t always easy, and it isn’t always the only road you imagined leads to success, but the road is certainly there.”
