Meer as 2 000 skole landswyd deel direk hulle skolenuus met AWSUM wat dan op die aanlynplatform geplaas word. Na sewe jaar is dié platform gegroei tot die grootste skolenuus platform in Suid-Afrika. Die nuus-platform het ontstaan na die sukses van skoolkoerante regoor die land, waar ons nie al die nuus kon publiseer nie, maar skole graag weier as hulle direkte area blootstelling wou gehad het, sê Durandt van Zyl, uitvoerende hoof van TieMedia wat die AWSUM handerlsnaam bestuur.

The importance of maths and science in shaping one’s future Maths and science are often considered the two most difficult school subjects that are so often avoided by students, yet they can have a significant impact on what a learner can do when they leave school. STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) skills are critical in today’s fast-paced world, but it is evident that learners in South Africa are showing less of an appetite for subjects like maths and science. This mainly comes down to misconceptions and negative perceptions of maths and science, rather than one’s ability or aptitude for the subject. “Our youth are brought up to believe that maths and science are too difficult, that it has no real value in the real world and, therefore, they are not worth the effort,” says Prof Azwinndini Muronga, Executive Dean of Science at Nelson Mandela University. “What many learners and parents fail to realise is that maths and science are enabling subjects that are a gateway to higher education and beyond,’’ says Prof Muronga. “They lay the foundation in applying knowledge when encountering complex principles competently in the school curriculum, at university and later on in life.”
“Out of the 64 countries, South African learners in Grade 5 scored an average of 374 for mathematics, and 324 for science – far below the 400 basic threshold”
The performances of learners in maths and science are well below par compared to other countries. Out of the 64 countries, South African learners in Grade 5 scored an average of 374 for mathematics, and 324 for science – far below the 400 basic threshold – despite being older than their counterparts. While only 41% of Grade 9 mathematics learners demonstrated that they had acquired basic mathematical knowledge, and just 36% of learners in Grade 9 science learners had acquired basic science knowledge. Cultivating a curiosity through maths and science Young people have a natural curiosity about the world around them. Learnings from maths and science ‘plant the seed’ in gaining an understanding of the order of things and how they work. These skills are honed on the education journey and applied in scenarios that go beyond the classroom, such as in the kitchen, garage, in nature and the rest of tangible reality. “Maths and science give learners more choice when it comes to applying to study at university,” says Prof Muronga. “Without them, they would not be eligible for programmes and apprenticeships in the fields of science, engineering and even commerce, as many higher education institutions place a strong emphasis on maths and science,” says Prof Muronga.
Maths is also beneficial in other areas including problem-solving, quantifying and interpreting data, the comprehension of text, debating, project management, and personal finance. Science and technology can cultivate creativity, observation, analytical research, and can also have an impact on society such as sustainability and environmental conservation.
STEM in ACTION is a community engagement entity within the EBET Faculty. It supports learners, educators, and parents across the educational phases, through a hands-on, brains-on approach within the teaching and learning of physical science. “This constructivist approach, together with a dynamic and enthusiastic STEM in ACTION team, aims to excite learners and motivate them about the science and start considering possible careers paths,” says Prof Muronga.

LAERSKOOL WELGEMOED Grondslagfase sluit jaar se drama-klasse af Loopbaandag Die grondslagfase drama-leerders het ‘n opwindende piekniek met die tema, "My gunsteling karakter", gehou. Hierdie piekniek het gedien as hulle afsluiting vir die jaar. Dit was voorwaar hope pret.
Tydens Lewensoriëntering, doen die Graad 7-leerders ‘n interessante hoofstuk oor loopbane. Ons leerders het bietjie in hulle toekomstigeself se skoene gestaan vir ‘n dag en kon aantrek volgens hulle loopbaankeuse. Daar was beslis ‘n paar aangename verrassings!
On the Culture front Dancing achievement: The dancers competed in Talent Africa National Competition and have qualified for the International Competition in December 2021.
Front: Ané Ochse, McKenna Eitner and Lia Conradie. Back: Mia Viljoen, Cara Booysen, Roxanne Greeff, Jordan Spolander and Luamé Lombard. Absent: Eminé Smit, Zara Kuun and Juliette Greeff.

As hoofdogter vir 2022 sien ek die meeste uit na al die nuwe uitdagings wat ek sal teëkom en om deel te wees van ‘n ongelooflike span leiers wat ek sal bystaan om die beeld van die skool uit te dra en my leierskapvaardighede te ontwikkel.
Is there anything you would like to change at your school?
Who is your role model?
Making it compulsory for all learners to take part in a Winter and Summer sport to promote physicality and good balance.
My mother.
What do you love most about your school?
To study further at university.
Our Girls’ choir and my music teachers.
If you could be any superhero, who would you want to be and why?
Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for? To be excellent in my school work throughout and to stay organised.
What are your plans after matric in 2023?
Wonder Woman, she is not afraid to speak her mind and is very warm. One regular Saturday you will find me at... You’ll find me at church with altar servers. Who is your Hollywood celebrity crush? Chris Pratt.
Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? As ‘n leerder van die skool, glo ek die skool het ‘n goeie dinamika. Die leerders verteenwoordig die skool en daarmee sal ek graag elke leerder wil aanmoedig om die skool se waardes meer getrou uit te leef. Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Ek geniet die ondersteuning en aanmoediging van die onderwysers en die passie wat die onderwysers het om die leerders te leer en ondersteun. Hoërskool Brackenfell het die meeste gees en brakkie trots. Ek geniet dit baie om ‘n blaaskans te neem pouses om grappies te deel saam met my vriende en te sien hoe ons volwasse raak soos matriek om die draai loer.
Wie is jou rolmodel?
Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers?
Supergirl. Sy is ‘n ikoniese vroulike figure en elke vrou moet een of ander tyd in haar lewe bonatuurlike eienskappe hê om gelyktydig meer as een taak te verrig. Sy is sterk, dink altyd aan ander, doelgerig en gemotiveerd.
Ek wil elke leerder aanmoedig om ‘n eenheid te vorm en mekaar te help met struikelblokke. Die leiers stel die voorbeeld van die skool. Wees die leier wat jy graag wil sien op die paneel om die skool te verteenwoordig. Ons as leiers moet empatie en bereidwilligheid hê om die standpunte van ander te verstaan. Met kommunikasie kan geen misverstand geskep word nie. Kom ons doen beter vir ons mede-Brakkies. Dis belangrik dat die leiers nederigheid moet toon en nie hul gesag moet misbruik nie. ‘n Brakkie het respek vir ander.
My ouers wat elke geleentheid neem om my by te staan en te inspireer. My leier rolmodel is Hoërskool Brackenfell se hoofmeisie van 2021, Camilla. As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom?
Wie is jou Hollywood ‘celeb crush’? My Hollywood celeb crush word gedeel met my crush al van my kinderjare, Cole Sprouse en die nuwe beroemde Timothée Chalamet.

Gemma Daniels & Christiaan du Plessis Laerskool Panorama Hoofdogter & Hoofseun Baie geluk met julle verkiesing as hoofleiers by jou skool. Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om ons skool se waardes uit te leef en ‘n voorbeeld te stel vir ons mede-leerders. Wat sou jy sê is jou sterk- en swakpunte? Ons is albei vriendelik, het goeie leierseienskappe en is hardwerkend en is ook uitstekende presteerders; op die sportveld sowel as akademiese gebied. Ons albei speel hokkie vir die eerstespan en Christiaan speel ook rugby. Ons swakpunte sluit in ongeduld en Gemma sê sy is te “gaaf”. Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Ja, die morsjorse en rommel wat leerders rondstrooi. Ons sou graag ‘n stokkie voor dit wou steek.
Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Ons skool se tradisies, diversiteit en waardes, die “esprit” van ons leerders en die onderwysers wat passievol oor ons is! Na watter hoërskool gaan jy in 2023? Christiaan gaan na Paarl Gim en Gemma na DF Akademie. Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? “Working together, makes us stronger”! Wie is jou rolmodel? Christiaan – my pa. Gemma – Emma Watson.
Lees die onderhoude met die 2022 hoofleiers van regoor die land, aanlyn op www.awsumnews.co.za
As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Christiaan wil Thor wees, omdat hy sterk is en Gemma sou graag Saitama wees, omdat hy ook sterk is en hy sy krag gekry het deur harde werk.

Cathlene Smith Hoofmeisie
Cathlene Smith Tygerberg High School, Head Girl What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader?
What will you message of encouragement be for your prefects/ co-leaders?
I look forward to having direct interaction with learners in different grades. I also look forward to the different opportunities and challenges that lie ahead that will further develop my leadership skills and equip me for the future.
To my team, I want to say that I know the workload and school in general can be difficult to balance, but keep chasing your dreams and working hard as it will all be worth it in the end.
Is there anything you would like to change at your school? There isn’t really something that I’d like to change, but something I would like to implement: mentorship programmes. These programmes will ensure that Grade 8s find their place in the school and receive the help they need with regards to time management and effective study methods. What do you love the most about your school? Something that really stands out about Tygerberg High School and distinguishes the school from others is how much of a family we are. I love the relationships that learners have with each other and the fact that the school is a home away from home.
Who is your role model? My father is my role model. He taught me to finish what I started and keep working hard no matter the circumstances. If you could be any superhero, who do you want to be and why? The superhero I want to be is The Flash. Mainly because he can time travel, and I want to time travel and see what happens in the future. Who is your Hollywood celeb crush? Orlando Bloom.
