AWSUM Celebrity Interview
Suzelle DIY
AWSUM News caught up with sensational YouTube comedy wondergirl, Suzelle DIY, who has just landed her very own slot on Comedy Central – not bad for a poppie with a hectic wannabe accent and an ever-silent best friend! Suzelle DIY’s YouTube channel has more than 48 000 subscribers and picks up 40 000 views on the day a new episode launches.
Q: Congratulations on the latest feather in your cap – your very own slot on Comedy Central. How does it feel to play in the big league now? A: I feel like a million rands. It has been a dream come true to watch myself on TV. Q: Who is Suzelle really? Tell us a bit more about yourself – likes, dislikes, favourite movie, favourite song, favourite book.

AWSUM NEWS, MAY 2016
A: I’m just a small town girl with a passion for DIY, braaiing and dinner parties. My movie of the moment is the How To Be Single and my favourite book is How to do Just about Everything by The Reader’s Digest. Q: Why do you think you are so popular? What is your secret to success? A: I think people like that the DIY in my videos is useful, and that sometimes things go wrong. My secret is to keep going no matter what happens! Q: What are your top five DIY tips for women like yourself who like to be glamorous and never get their hands dirty while doing the dirty work A: Right, this is a good one. It’s important to always look your best no matter what you are busy doing. • Wear an apron when you are in the kitchen. • Use safety goggles when you chop onions to stop your eyes from tearing up and smudging your make-up. • Run your nails over a bar of soap before you do the gardening. It will keep the dirt from getting under your nails. • Buy a box of disposable gloves. They are great to use for any DIY project. • I like to cut up plastic packets and lay them down on my work surface to prevent any mess escaping Q: What do you do for fun and relaxation in your leisure time? A: I like to go for a coffee with my best friend, Marianne. I like to watch cooking shows and look for DIY ideas on
the Google. Q: Other celebrities, across a spectrum, like Nataniël, Hellen Zille, Tim Noakes and Jan-Hendrik, want to be associated with you. Why is that? What do they gain? What do you gain? A: I think they are just excited to meet me because they want to soak up some of my creativity. Q: Where do you get your ideas from for your videos? Which episode is your favourite? Why? A: I get my ideas from all sorts of places. I find them on the Google and in magazines. I also get sent a lot of great ideas from my fans. My favourite episode is How to Make a Braai Pie, because that was my first video to go viral. Q: Are you English or Afrikaans? Who are your biggest fans – English or Afrikaans-speaking people? Why do you think is that so? A: I’m Afrikaans, but I like to speak in English in my videos so that the peoples overseas can also enjoy the videos. Shame. I think my fans are a real mix of different cultures. Q: What is the single thing that you enjoy most when creating and crafting a new episode? A: I love filming it with Marianne and my neighbour Hennie. We always have so much fun together. Q What DIY message do you have for our readers (parents of schoolgoing children)? A: Parents, you must teach your kids that their creativity is their number one tool!
FOR THE FOODIES
Roll up, roll up!! I always have a roll or two of frozen pastry in my freezer, you should too, it comes in handy if I want to make a tart or pie at the drop of a hat. I love little jam tarts and when the craving hits me, I make my way to the freezer and pull out a roll of shop bought frozen pastry, wait for it to thaw, roll it out, cut out little rounds and pop them into the hollows of a muffin tin, place a little butter in the base, sprinkle with desiccated coconut and a spoonful of any jam that takes my fancy , pop it into a hot oven, put the kettle on and before you know it I’m munching on jam tarts and sipping tea. The other thing I like to do with a sheet of pastry is fill it and make a roulade. A roulade is a dish of filled rolled meat or pastry, the term roulade originates from the French word "rouler", meaning "to roll". Now what I like about having a sheet of pastry handy is that you can fill it with a million different things and call them, tarts pies and roulades, you can make any of these from scratch or use up left-overs from the night before to make a pie.
Vegetarian puff pastry roulade Ingredients • Olive oil • 200g button mushrooms sliced • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 2 Tbsp. Wellington’s sweet chilli sauce • 1 cup chopped spinach, wilted • 250ml ricotta • 3 tbsp chopped peppadews • ¾ c Cheddar cheese • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary • Salt and freshly ground pepper • 1 x 400g Todays puff pastry • 1 egg beaten
Method • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms until lightly browned, stir in the garlic and sweet chilli sauce, season with salt and pepper and cook for a further 3 minutes until all the moisture has cooked off the mushrooms. • Allow cooling, and then mixing with the remaining filling ingredients, except the spinach. • Roll out the pastry until 2mm thick place the mushroom mixture onto the centre
of the pastry and shape into a sausage shape, top with the spinach and then fold the pastry over the filling to make a parcel. Brush with beaten egg. • Lift onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, this makes it easier to lift off the sheet when cooked. • Bake in a pre-heated 200 deg C oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and crisp. • Serve with large mixed salad

Grade 5 Outing The Grade 5s had to make African huts from play dough (which they had to make themselves) and other materials found at home. Here are some of the best ones from 5V. The children have been really creative and made some beautiful huts and accompanying scenery.
Eisteddfod
Grade 4 Outing Our Grade 4 learners went on an outing to Elton Farm on Kei Road. Their adventure began with the classes being divided into 2 groups. One group went on a game drive where they saw different buck, cattle and giraffes. The other group of learners had the opportunity to hold baby piglets, milk the cows and herd the sheep. After swopping activities, both groups met back at the farm where they enjoyed a picnic together. After their break, learners jumped on the back of trucks and went to feed the cattle. They also went to see a windmill and got a chance to dip their feet into the dam. It was an amazing outing and was enjoyed by all.
The Cambridge Primary Choir recently received a gold for their performance at the Port Rex Lions Choir Eisteddfod. We are very proud of them!
Games Day On 26 April our learners had a fun-filled day during our annual Games Day. From jumping castles to slippery slides and play time in the pool, everyone had a great time.

Matric invitations
Shannon Jackson (Grade 11) is achieving great results at Go-karting or “karting”. This year she participated in two national competitions, in which she placed 8th and 6th.
Page 8
The Grade 11s pulled a brilliant April Fool’s joke on the Matrics, by convincing the Matrics that they had not raised sufficient funds for an invitation ceremony where they would receive their official invitations to their Matric dance (a Beaconhurst tradition). The Grade 11s staged a lacklustre effort, much to the Grade 12’s chagrin. Great was the Matrics’ surprise when the real ceremony arrived two days later! The ‘Frozen’ themed invitation ceremony was a huge success! The Matrics received glass sand-blasted invitations and our head prefects, Marco Van Greunen and Khanya Mweli, had to literally “break the ice” to receive their invitations.

Interact Raise funds for Canaan Care Centre
Receives SA Colours
The Lilyfontein School Interact Group raises funds for the Canaan Care Centre which cares for persons with severe and profound physical and mental disabilities. They held two events in April, the disaster Dinner and the Father & Son Fun Day Guests at the Disaster Dinner eat their food with whatever utensil they are given. This year this included braai tongs, olive spoons and even beach spades. Teams of dads and their lads competed in many mental and physical challenges at this year’s Father & Son Fun Day.
Gandhi Jafta (Grade 11) received her SA Colours for cricket and was presented with a trophy and her SA cap at the annual Border Cricket Awards on 15 April. The Border Woman’s Cricket Team, of which she has been a member for two seasons, was presented with medals for winning the CSA Woman’s Coastal T20 Competition. They won all 4 of their T20 matches and 3 out of 4 of their 50 over matches.
Matric Dance As usual, the Grade 11s did an amazing job of transforming the school hall and planning the event. In true Lilyfontein School style, the matrics and their guests arrived in a wide variety of vehicles including the standard luxury cars, a pony trap, a Volksie Bus and a vintage tractor.

SPORT NEWS Eastern Province rugby shines Six players from the Eastern Cape have been selected by Junior Springbok coach Dawie Theron as part of his 28-man squad that will do battle at World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Manchester, England, from 7 to 25 June. Most notably is that Eastern Province centre Jeremy Ward will lead the team in the showpiece, while his provincial team-mate Junior Pokomela has been named as vice-captain, alongside 2015 SA Schools captain, DHL Western Province lock Ernst van Rhyn. Joining Ward and Pokomela are hooker Tango Balekile, prop Nicolaas Oosthuizen, scrumhalf James Hall and fullback Keanu Vers. SARU Kings Academy manager and Currie Cup head coach, Robbi Kempson, said he was very proud of the players that had been selected. “They are all products of the SARU Kings Academy, they are professional athletes and have played phenomenally well as a unit last year, in the U19 Currie Cup 1st division competition,” he said. The Eastern Province U19 team won 11 of their 12 regular matches and went on to be crowned overall champions last year. “I have always said that Jeremy was a strong ambassador for rugby in the region and I am confident that he will make the people of South Africa proud as he leads this SA U20 team, and the same can be said for Junior Pokomela, who is a phenomenal rugby player,” said Kempson. Kempson also complimented the SA Kings academy staff, Mzwandile Stick, Nadus Nieuwoudt and Sean ‘O Dea, for their contributions they had made in developing top class professional rugby players. Charl Crous, Chief Operations Officer of the Southern Kings franchise, which has contracted both Hall and Pokomela for the 2016 season, said it was a testament to the quality of rugby talent that was being developed in the Eastern Cape. “One of the driving forces behind the call for a Super Rugby franchise Cell: 082 342 8944 Tel: 043 722 7774 to be based in the Eastern Cape was Fax: 086 620 5323 to create a career path for the young, email: borderroofing@absamail.co.za talented rugby playing individuals from www.borderroofing.co.za the region, who in the past have been forced to move elsewhere to pursue a career in rugby,” he said.

The Junior Springboks will kick off the 2016 international spectacle against Japan on Tuesday, 7 June at the Academy Stadium, before taking on Argentina on 11 June at the AJ Bell Stadium, and France on 15 June back at the Academy Stadium in the pool stages. “It is always challenging to name a squad of only 28 players, especially if one considers the immense talent at junior level in South Africa, but we have selected the best possible team for the World Cup.” The team played their first official warm-up match last Friday at Wits University in Johannesburg against the Xerox Golden Lions Under-19 and Under-21 teams, with an eye on sharpening up their game before the tournament. This will be followed by clashes against Maties in Stellenbosch on Tuesday, 17 May and the SWD Eagles in Oudtshoorn on Saturday, 21 May, with the team set to depart for the international showpiece on 2 June.
