HOËRSKOOL GARSFONTEIN Garsie Graad 12 Merietefunksie Garsies wen sestiende titel in Noordvaal: Krieket Hoërskool Garsfontein se o.15 A – krieketspan het geskiedenis gemaak deur die Noorvaalkompetisie vir die tweede jaar in ’n ry in te palm. Hierdie titel gee aan Garsies hul sestiende titel in die roemryke reeks. Die skole wat deelneem verteenwoordig skole uit vier provinsies. Die Garsies se o/15 YsBere het Rustenburg in die finaal met 44 lopies geklop. ’n Week gelede het die span ook vir Waterkloof in die halfeind geklop. Wat die span se prestasie merkwaardig maak, is dat hulle die seisoen slegs een wedstryd verloor het. Die span se prestasie is nog ’n byvoeging in die skool se trofeëkas wat reeds spog met sestien Noordvaaltitels sedert 1988. Boonop is Wikus du Preez aangewys as die Speler van die Wedstryd met ’n uitmuntende 72 lopies van 81 balle. Die skool se o.15-span het ook in 2022 die titel verower. Vroeër in die jaar het die skool se eerste rugbyspan ook die kompetisie gewen, wat beteken die skool het die jaar dubbele glorie gesmaak.

LAERSKOOL MENLOPARK Hoof- en Onderhoofleiers 2023 In 2023 het Laerskool Menlopark ‘n nuwe benadering tot leierontwikkeling op die proef gestel. Die gr 7-leerlinge is in vier diensrade verdeel waarin hulle sekere pligte/rolle moes vervul. Na drie kwartale se deeglike waarneming en harde werk, kon die leerlinge ‘n objektiewe besluit neem aan wie hulle die hoofleier- en onderhoofleierskap kan toevertrou.

Take action against bullying! In light of Anti-Bullying Week that took place from 13-17 November, we shed the light against the concerning trend of bullying in schools. Bullying in schools is a concerning trend. It almost always leads to behavioural problems, diminished academic performance, and unfortunately, even suicide. “Understanding the impact of bullying on a scholar’s mental health has gained increased importance for teachers, guardians, and parents. This understanding is crucial for the sake of the scholar’s psychological well-being and academic development,” says Nkazimulo Zitha, head of School Achievement at SPARK Schools. Bullying is defined as unwanted aggressive behaviour and usually occurs when there is a power imbalance between people. When it becomes repetitive, it can inflict significant harm upon the victim. The five types of bullying: Physical – this is the most common form of bullying. It involves physical actions like pushing, tripping, kicking, hitting, spitting on, or destruction of a child’s property on purpose. Verbal – these bullies almost always operate when adults are not around. They will make fun of their victims, tease them, call them names, insult them, and verbally intimidate them. Cyberbullying – this happens in the digital space, on computers, smartphones, social media, texts, and instant messaging. Relational – this bully is usually set on increasing their own social standing by diminishing the standing of another scholar
Hoofleiers Leané Gerber en Dylan Kraamwinkel
through humiliation, spreading lies, and exclusion. Prejudicial – bullies target factors like race, religion, sexual orientation, or social standing. Zitha says the long-term effects of bullying on a scholar’s mental health must not be underestimated. “Research has shown that being a victim of bullying can lead to longer-term impacts including interpersonal violence, substance use, sexual violence, poor social functioning, and poor performance. Being bullied at a young age can affect someone well past childhood and can cause lifelong psychological damage,” she says. Warning signs to look out for if you suspect a scholar in your care is being bullied are changes in sleep patterns, loss of appetite, frequent tears and mood swings, unexplained bruises and scratches, damaged belongings, coming home hungry, not wanting to go to school and deteriorating academic performance. “Teach your children the difference between bullying and teasing. While the line can be subtle, it’s crucial for them to grasp that persistent teasing can qualify as bullying”.
