The fact that September is at our doorstep reminds us that spring is coming, and with it hopefully some warmer weather and longer days. Soon, it’ll be pool party time again. Until then, take a break – and read AWSUM.

For now, there are only 4 weeks remaining before the Rugby World Cup kicks off in England!!! Excitement is growing, even here at AWSUM HQ. Make sure that you enter the competition on our cover, where you could stand a chance of winning a rugby jersey and ball signed

THE SELFIE CULTURE: SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?

3

By Steven Woda www.uknowkids.com

You can hardly go onto Facebook, Instagram or any other social media site without being inundated with selfies. A recent study found that a 91% of teens have reportedly posted a photo of themselves online. With this kind of statistic, odds are that your teen has already taken and posted at least one of these instant self-portraits.

For most teens, selfies are a harmless bit of adolescent fun, no more dangerous than other passing fads. Actual damage by selfie is rare, but it does happen. As a parent, you need to be aware of these risks and become equipped to discuss them with your teen.

SELFIES AND SELF-ESTEEM One risk factor for selfies is that the act and obsession with taking them can lead teens to the development of poor self-esteem.

There has been some speculation about whether self-portraits help or hurt selfesteem. Out of the few studies that have been conducted on the matter, the verdict on the effects of selfies on teen self-esteem is somewhat conflicting.

A body image survey conducted by the TODAY Show found that 65% of teen girls feel that selfies boost their self-confidence.

40% of them agreed that social media helps them put their best face forward. However, 53% of respondents alleged that photos of themselves that are posted by others can make them feel bad.

Earlier this year a teen from the UK became obsessed with taking the perfect selfie. He dropped out of school, lost thirty pounds, and didn’t

leave the house for six months because he was devoting ten or more hours a day to taking pictures. Eventually, he attempted suicide by overdose.

The chances are pretty good that your teen is not as ill as this young man was, but, while rare, the case demonstrates how poor self-esteem can be exacerbated by the selfie trend.

The danger is very real and is something that should be on every parent’s radar.

SELFIES AND YOUR ONLINE REPUTATION As with all online and social media activities, posting selfies can have a negative effect on your child’s online reputation. Both the quantity and subject matter of photos that are shared with friends on Facebook can impact the level of support and intimacy within their relationships.

Additionally, the permanence of anything that is posted online, like selfies, can haunt a teen years after they’re taken. Although there are a few ways kids can make the social networks they use

GONUBIE PRIMARY

SELFIE SAFETY TIPS: 1. Teach teens early on that selfies, social media posts, and the feedback they receive on social media should not be tied to their self-worth.

2. Ensure that your teens are using proper privacy settings throughout their social media accounts.

3. Instruct your kids to be careful about the personal settings and items that are featured in selfies.

4. Only post selfies that you would be comfortable sharing with the world.

GRAAFF-REINET TOUR

more protected, there is never a guarantee that something won’t go viral once it is posted or merely sent to one person.

College admissions officers and scholarship foundations now often include a search on social media for prospective students. Many employers have started looking up a job applicant’s online presence and factoring that information into their hiring decisions. That car-surfing stunt a teen photographed in his first year of college may be years in the past. But to an employer, what does that say about the job applicant’s judgment and self-control? He doesn’t know how long ago that picture was taken or how much your teen has changed in the intervening time; he only knows what the photo tells him.

NETBAL

During the first week of the June holidays, the Under 13 Hockey girls and Rugby boys undertook a tour to the beautiful Karoo town known as The Jewel of the Karoo.

Over 3 days they played successfully against several teams mainly from the Port Elizabeth area, learning about sport, life and friendships.

Juffrou Hanri se o/7 Netbalspannetjie het onlangs hul heel eerste wedstryd van die seisoen gespeel en dit baie geniet. Hulle het deelgeneem aan die Kingfisher Sportdag by Beaconhurst.

SKAAK Mr Fosta Gaba and Mr Richard Schultz, with the help of GPS pupils, spent several Saturday mornings fund-raising to off-set the tour costs… yummy!

Juffrou Petro van der Walt se Skaakspan is hier hard besig om te konsentreer en hul geniet elke oomblik daarvan! Wat kan dan nou lekkerder wees as om aan die einde van ‘n spel te kan sê: Skaakmat!!

GRAAD 1 Juffrou Michan se Graad 1 klassie het die

onderwerp ‘voedsel’ behandel en het die mees interessantste eksperimente gedoen - die gevolge...nou sit sy met ‘n klas vol Wetenskaplikes! Dankie ook vir juffrou Gerda se reuse bydrae!

FASHION G o tt aH av eG o

MATRIC MANIA

o d ie s

It’s the dazzling details that count when celebs hit the red carpet. Same applies to you. This year it’s all glitz and glamour, get the look with showers of shimmer and when in doubt, settle on silver. It’s classic and classy and goes with just about everything. What more can you wish for?

The MATRIC Dance is the Super Bowl of high school.

It’s the ultimate date night and whether you go with your longtime sweetheart or a new heart throb, you are going to go all out to look like million dollar babe. Fashion Editor Pepe Sofianos has just the perfect- finish shopping list for you!

CHAIN GANG If you’re wearing your hair down or halfup make your Matric look romantic and dreamy with a jewelled hair chain or sparkly headpiece that cascades onto your forehead like an exotic princess. Just remember, this shimmery accessory is the focus, so go for understated earrings that won’t compete for attention.

Indian hair chain, R39.99, MR PRICE

Pepe says So you’ve got the killer dress and the hot date all lined up. That’s just half the battle.

You’ve got to glam up for this epic evening with all the right extras.

There are a few must-haves you can’t go without. Trust me!

Always wear your hair pushed behind that ear to show it off like Emma Watson.

DANCING QUEEN Time to pop on your dancing shoes in heels you can actually twirl around the dance floor without breaking an ankle. Whether you are stepping out in a long and lavish ball gown or a shorty and sassy dance dress, which by the way, is the new cool trend, you want to rock the most eye-catching sandals.

‘EAR ‘EAR! Earrings are the perfect finishing touch and always look glam and MATRIC Dance night calls for a little more glitz than usual but be careful not to overload the look. So what’s new? How

about a stunning statement ear-hugging ear cuff and a dainty partner for the other ear? If you wear your hair up go for a dangly option and for a short hairstyle or long locks, nothing beats a sparkly half-moon.

STUDY SKILLS

“Learning is something students do, not something done to students.” Alfie Kohn No matter where our young people go or what they choose to do in life after school, they will still need to know HOW to learn to get ahead. Every George Randell Primary Grade 6 and 7 learners attended a Study Skills workshop last week. They were empowered with knowledge on how the brain learns and the different ways in which to approach studying. They were also assisted in determining whether they were visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learners and the methods which each favoured.

Grade 6 learner, Ntsika Sekalo engrossed in the Study Skills questionnaire.

AWARD ASSEMBLY

George Randell Primary acknowledged the academic achievements of their learners for Term 2 at their recent Award Assembly. They were honoured to have as their special guest, none other than Ms Shalom Khandanisa, well known radio personality at Link Fm Christian Radio Station. Ms Khandanisa, who, amongst many of her achievements, was one of the top 2012 five finalists of TOP BILLING in the Eastern Cape, was also an accomplished Border tennis player. Her inspiring message to the Georgie learners encouraged them to be the best they could, to strive towards their goals and to never ever give up.

THE GRADE 4 LEARNERS WROTE THEIR FIRST EXAMS. THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THEM HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE.

Shulami Ntozakhe – It was fine, but some were a bit hard. Maths was the worst. This term I will try my best in Maths.

Siphosethu Dwedzi – In my first exam I was a little bit nervous and the first time I saw the questions, my spine was shivering like mad.

Mbasa Matyobeni – I was a little scared with the first exam, but as it turned out the exam was a lot easier when I read through it closely.

Ukum Baku – The exams were easy and hard at the same time. I was excited and scared, but I got through it.

Caleb Qutywa- I thought they were hard, but as I was doing them they turned out easy. The experience was like I’m going to fail, but I passed. I felt so happy when I passed the exams.

Kokuhle Ndlela – Some of them were confusing. I wondered if I was going to pass.

I crossed my fingers very hard. It was terrifying and exciting.

Voorpos welcomes Mr Naude who joined the Intermediate/Senior Phase at the beginning of this term.

We are very proud of our headgirl, Sange Tshakumane, who received a scholarship from the Allan Grey Orbis Foundation for her high school career.

She will be attending Clarendon High School.

GETTING READY FOR SPRING DIY: TEACUP BIRD-FEEDER Spring is just around the corner, and I can’t wait to venture back into my garden. I don’t have much in the way of a green thumb, so I’ve decided to have some fun that doesn’t involve planting anything.

I’ve found an idea online that I’d love to share with you: What better way to welcome back all our feathered friends than with this adorable teacup bird-feeder?

WHAT YOU NEED: • A cup and saucer • Wild bird seed • Super-adhesive glue • String

WIN WITH WELLINGTON’S

WHAT TO DO: Make sure the cup and saucer are clean and dry. Squeeze some of the glue on to the edge of the saucer, tip the cup over on its side, and place it on the glue. This will need to set for about 24 hours before you hang it outside. Once it’s dry, all you have to do is pour in the bird seed and hang up the feeder.
