MOOD DISORDERS KNOW THE SIGNS & WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD One in eight young people between the ages of 5 and 19 are at risk of developing a mental disorder, of which Mood and Anxiety Disorders are the most prevalent.

Emphasis on the mental health of young people recently increased as a result of the disruption caused by Covid-19 and lockdowns which exacerbated challenges that existed before the pandemic. It has therefore once again become important to not only start talking about the mental health of young people, but also to recognise symptoms and know where to look for help, an education and mental health expert says.

“The prevalence of mood difficulties among young people is increasingly becoming a concern internationally,” says Dr Jacques Mostert, Brand Academic Manager at ADvTECH, SA’s leading private education provider. Dr Mostert holds a PhD in Psychology of Education and is globally renowned in his field, having conducted experiential research in education in Denmark, the UK, South Africa and The Netherlands.

Dr Mostert notes that an estimated 24% of teens between the ages of 11 to 19 suffer from depression caused by the home environment, 25% are subject to cyberbullying and loneliness, 92% of LGBT youth report depression during the ages of 11 to 19, and 80% of teens between the ages of 11 to 19 report a sense of isolation that causes them to feel depressed.

“It is very important to understand the signs of depression, so that action can be taken timeously should concerns about the

mental wellbeing of a child arise,” says Dr Mostert.

“Teachers and parents can recognise the onset of depression when a sudden change in behaviour becomes apparent and continues for at least 3 weeks or longer. These include an atypical lack of energy, becoming increasingly irritable and agitated without a rational explanation, and a sense of being down in the dumps for no reason.”

Some adolescents may withdraw from friends and family over a sustained period of time, he notes, adding that this is especially concerning if this is atypical of the normal interactions of the teen.

“Another red flag is the inability to concentrate in class where ADHD or other non-neurotypical difficulties are not present, as well as regularly failing to complete classroom and homework assignments in time or often being late to class because of feeling overwhelmed.

“This, coupled with unusually defiant behaviour towards teachers and other school staff, especially if this is non-typical behaviour, may indicate that the teen is experiencing difficulties with mood and affect.”

In the same way as with anxiety difficulties and disorder, the student often asks to go home because of feeling ill with no discernable symptoms. The teen often has days off from class time due to doctor’s

appointments, hospitalisation, or inability to attend classes.

Changes in sleep patterns, a significant weight loss or gain in a short period of time and disinterest in hobbies or areas where the teen previously showed interest also raise concerns about the mental wellbeing of the teenager.

Finally, a loss of future-mindedness, or talk about death or suicide, engaging in risky or self-destructive behaviour (drinking alcohol, taking drugs, or cutting, for example) are clear signs of the teen suffering from mood difficulties or a possible mood disorder.

“Not all of the above need to be present, but if there is a discernable and drastic change in a young person’s behaviour which continues for a period of several weeks or longer, intervention is necessary,” Dr Mostert says. “Most importantly, parents should trust their gut,” Dr Mostert says.

“If your teenager insists that nothing is wrong, despite a prolonged period of depressed mood or being diagnosed with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder, parents should trust their instincts and seek help.

“Should the above techniques not bring about an improvement in the mental wellbeing, parents should seek advice from their medical practitioner or a psychiatrist.”

Golf Two young Stirling High golfers have been doing extremely well this year in local and national tournaments. Both in Grade 8, Kesha Louw and Luke Moore have racked up some impressive finishes, raising eyebrows in golfing circles.

Kesha Louw was placed 4th in the Border u.19 competition in April, and she also participated in the Nomads SA Girls Rose Bowl Stroke Play Championship in late April, where she finished in 21st position, an achievement to be proud of considering that she is competing in the u.19 division.

She was then selected for the Border Ladies Golf team at the Interprovincial 72-Hole championship at the Kingswood Golf Estate in George this past weekend. Kesha has also been elected for the Talent Identification Squad which is part of the South African National Women’s squad. The GolfRSA National Squad has been funded by businessman Johann Rupert and one of the main objectives is to ensure that our best players are groomed to represent South Africa in international competition and are fully prepared for life in the paid ranks, should they opt to turn professional.

“If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan, but never the goal”

GolfRSA’s three-tiered women’s squad system, made up of some of the country’s most promising amateur golfers, looks to identify, nurture and produce champion golfers who will represent South Africa with distinction.

Author Unknown

Luke Moore was placed 5th in the Border U19 competition despite being only u.14. He also competed in the Gowrie Farm u.15 Challenge in April, which is a prestige GolfRSA U15 Tournament with ranking points available. Luke finished in 11th position overall, and first among the 6 Border participants.

CAPTAIN

H SCHOOL

FROM HUDSON PARK HIG

What makes it special to play for Hudson Park High School’s first team?

The dedication of my fellow teammates is what makes it special. They never miss a practice and give their 100% at every practice. Our management team also makes it easy for us to want to be there and give our all, they are organised and make us feel like we are a valuable part of sport at Hudson.

What would you consider the strong points of your team this year?

I would say fitness is our strongest asset in our team, also the ability to read each other’s next move plays to our advantage every time.

What motivates you to give your best on the field week after week?

The love for the game of netball. I believe it all starts now and what I choose to do with the opportunities that I am given now and that includes giving my best every week.

Your team has been together for 5 years. What makes your team special?

We are always there for each other no matter the circumstance. The bond we share on and off the field is unmatched and we appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

What has been your team’s greatest achievement over the past 5 years?

We have been unbeaten for the past 5 years in the Border region. We also qualified for the Eastern Cape schools’ championships twice and went on to play at the SA schools’ tournament.

Who is the joker of the team and why?

I am, it is always easy for me to turn any serious situation into a joke just to lighten the mood especially after a hard fitness session a laugh or two is always needed.

What is the most enjoyable time after a match?

Celebrating a win and discussing the unfair decisions the referees made during the game.

Who was your matric hero in Gr 8/Gr9?

Anita Giba.

Iviwe Komose, Bukho Sovita and Onako Mbilini.

VAN HOËRSKOOL GRENS

Q & A met KAPTEIN

HANNAH WATSON NETBAL

VAN HOËRSKOOL GRENS

Wat maak dit spesiaal om vir Hoërskool Grens se eerstespan te speel?

Dit is ‘n eer om vir my skool se eerstespan te speel omdat ek weet daar is jonger kinders wat na die eerstespan opkyk en wat ook eendag daar wil wees.

Wat maak dit spesiaal om vir Hoërskool Grens se eerstespan te speel?

Ek het nog altyd opgekyk na almal wat voor my vir die eerstespan gespeel het, dit is tog iets waarna almal streef. Dit is ‘n eer en ‘n voorreg om nou self vir die eerste span te kan speel.

Wat is die sterkpunte van julle span die jaar?

Ons het ‘n groot voorpak en ‘n baie vinnige agterlyn.

Wat is die sterkpunte van julle span die jaar?

Een van ons sterk punte is definitief dat ons almal dieselfde liefde vir netbal deel. Oor die jare heen het ons ‘n baie hegte band ontwikkel. Ons spanwerk is tops en ons respekteer mekaar.

Wat motiveer jou om Saterdag na Saterdag jou beste op die veld te gee?

Om myself te verbeter. Om my drome ‘n werklikheid te maak. Ek wil graag eendag vir my land of selfs oorsee rugby speel.

Julle span kom al 5 jaar saam. Wat maak julle span spesiaal?

Die gees in ons span is net iets anders. Ons kan grappe maak, maar as ons moet werk, dan werk ons saam en presteer as ‘n span. Dissipline is vir ons span van uiterste belang.

Wat was julle span se grootste oomblik die afgelope 5 jaar?

Toe ons na die ontwrigtende grendeltydperk weer aan wedstryde kon deelneem en toe tydens die eerste wedstryd terug op die veld, teen Dale College wen.

Wie is die grapgat in die span en hoekom?

Xander Greeff. Hy speel skrumskakel, maar wil nie net op een plek wees nie. Hy wil flank speel, dan wil hy losskakel speel en dan wil hy weer op nommer 8 wees.

Wat is die lekkerste oomblik na `n wedstryd? ‘n Lekker ysbad met Steri-Stumpie en natuurlik ‘n wen.

Wie was jou matriekheld toe jy in Gr. 8/Gr.9 was?

Geoffrey Ross.

Kies een: • Tackle of Clean: Tackle • Dummy of Side-step: Side-step • Wendrie druk of wenskop: Wendrie druk

Wat motiveer jou om Saterdag na Saterdag jou beste op die baan te gee?

Die feit dat ek nie vir myself speel nie, maar vir die skoolwapen op my bors. Ek kyk ook na al my spanmaats se gesigte en weet hoe hard hulle werk. Ons afrigters werk net so hard. Dit motiveer my om my beste te gee.

Julle span kom al 5 jaar saam. Wat maak julle span spesiaal?

Die feit dat ons nie net op die baan vriendinne is nie, maar ook langs die baan. Hoe langer ons saam speel, hoe hegter word die band tussen ons. Elke sekonde op die baan vertrou ons mekaar ten volle.

Ek dink nie jy gaan dit maklik iewers anders vind nie.

Wat was julle span se grootste oomblik die afgelope 5 jaar?

As gevolg van Covid-19 kon ons ongelukkig nie al die wedstryde speel wat ons graag sou wou speel nie, maar een van die lekkerste oomblikke wat ons al ervaar het, was definitief ons skool se sportfees.

Die ondersteuning was baie motiverend en as gevolg daarvan het ons span uitstekend gespeel.

Wie is die grapgat in die span en hoekom?

Natuurlik ons span se doel, Rachael Crafford. Van grappies in die kleedkamer tot die wind blameer as sy ‘n doel mis.

Wat is die lekkerste oomblik na `n wedstryd?

Natuurlik om jou natgeswete skoene uit te trek, asook die samesyn van nie net die span nie, maar ook die toeskouers. Dis altyd lekker om ‘n wedstryd te bespreek en te praat oor waar ons kan verbeter sodat ons saam as ‘n span kan groei.

Wie was jou matriekheld toe jy in Gr. 8/Gr.9 was?

Sonder twyfel Charlize du Preez. Sy was ‘n uitmuntende speler en het altyd 110% op die netbalbaan gegee.

Announcing the 20 schools who have been selected to make their movies for Filmit 33 Schools from South Africa and 2 from Namibia entered 2-minute film pitches for the Filmit competition during the month of June. Our first-round panel of judges consisting of Bradley Joshua from Gambit Films, Moenier Hendricks from Homebrew Films, and Marcel Spaumer and Richard September from Suidooster went through all 70 film concepts pitched by these school groups, and selected twenty they believe have entertainment value, is doable, evoked interest and should make for a good short film. All judges compiled a short video in which they share their professional opinion, observation, and subsequent recommendations on what the 20 approved film groups should focus on when heading into the mentorship programme in preparation for the making of their films. These videos are shared on the Paul Roos Gymnasium YouTube channel.

One-on-one mentorship by industry specialists kick off on the 27th of July. This mentorship will continue over a two-week period up until the 6th of August. It will take place online (via Zoom sessions) and will be presented by five actors from the TV series Suidooster. Each actor will be allocated to four of the participating schools. These actors will guide the learners in the early phases of development of their films.

They are Marco Spaumer, Dean Smith, Esther von Waltsleben, Jawaahier Petersen and Eden Classens. The 20 schools who submitted the best film concepts in 2021 and who move on to the next round of the Filmit competition are: • • • • • • • •

Marcel Spaumer The Filmit team wants to inspire all schools who entered (also those who did not qualify to move on to the next round) to up their game and learn how to improve their ideas and concepts, if not for the 2021 competition – then definitely for the 2022 competition. A pre-recorded mentorship video (including advice from industry professionals) on pre-production, production and post-production of films will be shared via the Paul Roos Gymnasium YouTube channel. This video is made available free of charge for all 35 schools who entered the competition. Contributors to this video are Johannes Pieter Nel (director of photography), Louis Pretorius (screenwriter), Zandré Coetzer (Nagvlug Films), Lloyd O’Conner (sound engineer), Fahema Hendricks (director of photography), Braam du Toit (composer), Eva du Preez (editor), Neil Sandilands (acting for the camera) and Michael Botha (postproduction on sound). The mentorship programme was made possible by Atterbury and WeBuyCars.

It will be uploaded and available for private streaming on the PRG YouTube channel on the 26th of July 2021.

This achievement is a testament to Kelly’s dedication to training and “never give up” attitude.
