rsdag

Dit is ons eerste verjaarsdag, en ons sê dankie!

In Mei 2013 het ‘n handjie vol skole in die Boland vir die eerste keer AWSUM-nuus gekry.

Nou, op ons eerste verjaarsdag is ons trots en dankbaar om te sê dat AWSUM deur sy tandekry-fase is en groei dat die biesies bewe.

Ons bedien nou 64 laerskole en 56 hoërskole in 6 streke. Baie dankie vir elke leser, student, adverteerder en ieder en elk wat deel het aan ons sukses.

Hier is wat ‘n paar lesers sê oor AWSUM: • Baie baie dankie vir die pragtige advertensie in die Februarie uitgawe, so by die editorial!

Ek voel so bevoorreg en begunsdig, oorweldig en dankbaar. Ek is oortuig dat julle die perfekte platform bied vir my om te adverteer en my hart en passie te deel met die huishoudigs waar kinders is.

• Uitstekend! Julle is voorwaar AWSUM!!!

• Ek sien uit na elke volgende uitgawe in 2014.

• As ouer van ‘n leerder by een van ons plaaslike skole, het ek onlangs julle AWSUM koerantjie ontvang. Dit is ‘n pragtige kreatiewe konsep en ek dink dit verskaf fantastiese blootstelling aan skole.

• I have just had the pleasure of reading your AWSUM newspaper! It is great!

• Eerstens wil ek u bedank en loof vir die uitstekende skoolkoerant wat AWSUM is. Ek geniet dit baie en vind dit baie interessant.

• Ek hou van die resepte, artikels en insetsels oor die verskillende skole in die Helderberg en omliggende area, dis baie interessant om te sien waar jou eie skool staan in vergelyking.

DID YOU KNOW? Five facts about wine.

When next you host a dinner party for friends, drop a few facts about your vino and impress your guests!

Cork vs. Screw

Move over, cork, and make way for screw caps. Today, screw caps are replacing corks on more than just inexpensive bottles. Currently, screw caps seal 75 percent of Australian wines and 93 percent of New Zealand wines, and they’re gaining popularity in all countries, including here in S.A.

To Age or Not to Age?

It is a common misconception that all wines improve with age.

In fact, more than 90 percent of all wines should be consumed within one year.

Use Your “Nose”

• The term bouquet refers to the

total scent of the wine.

• Aroma is the scent of the grapes.

• When wine tasters want to describe the bouquet and the aroma together, they use the term nose.

What Colour Tells You

As white wines age, they gain color. Red wines, on the other hand, lose colour as they age. To analyze your glass of wine, hold the glass on an angle in front of a white background, such as a napkin or tablecloth. White wines can range from a pale yellowgreen to a brownish hue. Reds begin at purple and scale all the way to brown.

Drink to Your Health!

According to Dietary Guidelines, there are 100 calories in a glass of wine (compared to 150 calories in a beer). Plus wine is a fat-free and cholesterol-free drink. Cheers! www.delish.com

Use crates for book shelves

How to create practical book shelves by using ordinary pine crates.

Using a few pieces of 10 x 44mm PAR pine that you can buy, you can make up your own crates for this project - and make them so that they don’t need to be cut in half or you can buy ready made crates at Spiro’s Mica.

Paint the crates with two coats of water-based enamel. Note: Although this is mentioned at the beginning of the project, I would leave the painting until the end if you are going to cut ready-made crates in half.

Just below any handle holes - if there are any attach two keyhole brackets.

Note: Use a pencil to mark the hole for the bracket, use an 8mm wood bit to drill out and then screw the bracket in place.

Paint to the desired colour.

NEWS / NUUS

To mount the crate book shelves onto the wall, use nylon wall plugs and screws.

Use in kids room / study for books etc or in the kitchen for receipe books.

The French Affair!

SPICE up your life!

Let’s Cook!

Vanilla

I met Jan Hendrik in France on the French Rivera, in Nice to be exact while I was filming my new TV series for Food Network called Jenny Morris Cooks The Rivera’s. Jan Hendrik told me that he had a love affair with France and its culture of good food, and was so inspired by the fresh produce from local markets and the meals he has been inspired by on his travels through these epicurean surroundings, he

decided to write a book called The French Affair. This lovely book is a feast for the eyes and nourishment for the soul, reflecting Jan Hendrik’s passion. The French Affair is a collection of recipes collected by author, chef and photographer Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen on his life journey that took him from a farm in South Africa to the French Riviera and Paris.

Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, and is highly valued for its flavor, which described in The Book of Spices as “pure, spicy, and delicate”.

Place the wines, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan on medium heat and stir for 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved.

Bring to the boil and cook for about 2 minutes until the syrup thickens.

Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for garnishing. Soak the gelatine and water in a large heat-proof jug and whisk until the gelatine has dissolved. Stir the wine mixture into the gelatine mixture. Divide a small amount of the Your May/June deals!

Understand your brain... 6 Ways to Keep Your Improve your marks!!

Kids Healthy this Winter Understanding just how your unique brain learns, might be the key to easier and faster study...

Learning is characterized by 3 steps: 1. Receiving information 2. Processing the received information 3. Giving feedback on the processed information

spent in front of the books. As this is very helpful, it is possible that your child might just be trying to study using a method not in congruence with his/her natural learning process and preference.

Different parts of the Neo Cortex (thinking part of the brain) is involved in this process. The brain basically has 3 sets of areas involved in this task. Each set consist of 2 parts.

Like with every other part in the body, where there is two of a kind, one will naturally take the lead and the other will follow. Even though you have easy access and usage of both hands, naturally you tend to write with one hand, without giving it much thought. The same goes for your feet. Walking happens automatically without a conscious decision as to which foot should start the process. In the exact same manner one part in every set in the brain, will naturally take the lead when information is processed; and the other will follow.

It is widely known that the right side of the brain enjoys pictures and colours whereas the left side easily make use of structures, words and lists.

The front section (frontal lobes) need constant output as part of the thinking proses. Naturally the front dominant child will have to talk in order to process information, whereas the back (occipital lobes) prefer silence and time lapse in order to process information. The back dominant learner needs to plan and manage time effectively allowing this processing function to take place. Knowing your child’s brain-profile will not only open a door for understanding the way he/ she thinks, acts and instinctively responds to the environment; it allows room to make the best decision in relation to study methods and techniques.

If we can understand the nature of each part of the brain and the senses involved in the learning process, we will be able to determine HOW to present information in a way that naturally makes sense, is easy understandable and easy to learn. Different parts of the brain has different learning needs. A vast amount of study methods are available, all in aid to make study easier and hopefully fasten the process of learning, limiting the time

The combination and impact of the different brain areas are legion.

Why not discover your child’s own, unique profile, enabling and allowing him/her to flourish, succeed and understand why learning and thinking pose the challenges it does. Find a more excellent way of introducing work and subject matter, the way that makes sense to the natural learning needs of your child’s unique brain design.

As winter arrives, you may be dreading the colds, flu, and general icky-ness, that seems to accompany it. Here are six tips to help you and your children stay healthy this winter.

Wash Your Hands It’s estimated that children with proper hygiene miss 2 days of school each year, while children who do not practice proper hygiene miss 3 days a year.

Teach your children to wash their hands well, and often. This includes before and after meals, after coughing or sneezing, after using the restroom, and when they come home from school. You can also use alcohol-based wipes or gels when a water source is not readily available.

Keep Warm Make sure you and your children are dressed appropriately for the colder weather. Jackets, gloves, and hats are all important clothing pieces to protect against the elements and keep your body in tip top shape.

Eat Well Make sure your children get wellbalanced meals. Give your family the vitamins and minerals they need, so their bodies have the energy to stay healthy.

Sleep Sleep is one of the most important things we can do to give our

body a leg up against sickness this winter. Each member of your family should get at least 7 hours of restful sleep each night, more for your younger children (10-13 hours).

Food Safety As you prepare your holiday meals, wash your hands often when handling food. Keep any raw meats, poultry, and eggs away from food that is ready to eat or already prepared. Invest in a quality food thermometer to check the temperature of all of your cooked meals, make sure they are at least at the proper eating temperature. Do not use the same knives, cutting boards, or utensils to prepare raw foods and readyto-eat foods.

Quarantine If you still get sick after taking precautions, quarantine the family members. Do not allow your children to return to school until they are 24-hours free of fevers or vomiting. Wipe all surfaces with disinfectant, as well as washing clothing and bedding in hot, soapy water. Consider getting your children a flu shot this year to give you a leg up against sickness.

Rhenish Breaks the Ground on New Infrastructure Developments

On Tuesday 6 May 2014 Rhenish Girls’ High Principal, Ms Helmien Slabber officiated at the ground-breaking ceremony to mark the start of the building at the school. Over the next few months, 8 new classrooms will be added to replace the old prefabricated classrooms that served the school for over 25 years. The school also intends building a new school hall – the current hall is no longer able to house all the girls in one assembly. The girls are also excited about the establishment of their own Astro Turf. The grass for this has already been lifted and work will begin on this shortly. Present at the Ground Breaking Ceremony were Mrs Kim Weiderman (SGB, sport), Ms Helmien Slabber (Principal) and Mr William de Villiers (SGB, Infrastructure Development).

Rhenish Recognised for Excellence by US On 23 April 2014, Ms Slabber and four of our top matric candidates and their parents were invited to a special function at the University of Stellenbosch. The function was to honour the top 20 schools in the Western Cape (based on the matric results of 2014) together with a number of schools that had produced outstanding results in spite of serious disadvantages.

Lijan van Zyl, Lara du Plessis, Lisa Uys and Nicole Taylor were honoured to represent Rhenish in this way and they were especially proud to applaud Ms Slabber who was presented with a Certificate of Excellence by the Chancellor of the university.

Rhenish Old Girls’ Union Annual Luncheon The Rhenish Old Girls’ Union (ROGU) held their annual luncheon at the Rhenish Hostel on 10 May 2014.

Nearly 90 old girls returned to the alma mater and enjoyed an afternoon of catching up with friends and developments at

their old school.

Three reunion groups were also present – the class of 1974, the class of 1969 and the class of 1989, celebrating their 40th, 45th and 25th reunions.

Paul Roos Gimnasium se ensemble het op Saterdag 17 Mei nie minder nie as drie cum laudes by die Stellenbosch-eisteddfod losgeslaan – ’n buitengewone prestasie vir enige orkes!

Daarbenewens was die beoordelaars erg beïndruk met die feit dat die orkes een van hul eie lede, Roelof Temmingh, se komposisie Overture gespeel het – dis uitsonderlik dat die werk van ’n hoërskoolleerder uitgevoer word deur die einste orkes waarvan hy lid is!

Die erkennings is as volg:

Deelname aan die Orkes-kategorie (Ope afdeling): Cum Laude (Hier is Roelof se komposisie gespeel – ’n baie moeilike werk.

Deelname aan Orkes-kategorie (Ope afdeling): Cum Laude saam met Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool se Stringendo-strykorkes Deelname aan Jazz-orkeskategorie (Ope afdeling): Cum Laude – en volgens die beoordelaars die beste optrede van die dag.

Paul Roos wys wie’s baas

Paul Roos het op Saterdag 10 Mei vir ’n groot sporthoogtepunt gesorg deur Paarl se Hoërskool Gimnasium met ’n oortuigende 16-10 op laasgenoemde se tuisveld plat te loop. Dit is die eeste keer sedert 2011 dat Paul Roos vir Gim kon troef. PRG het dit ook reggekry om Wynberg Seuns Hoër op 17 Mei met 24-22 in die stof te laat byt.

Dit lyk of PRG stadig maar seker besig is om hom weer as een van die heel voorste rugbyskole in Suid-Afrika te begin vestig.

Paul Roos het, soos die reën, die grond onder die Paarliete se voete weggespoel en hulle op hul knieë laat terugsak aarde toe.

Matt Gallow van PRG druk sy drie teen Wynberg.

VALENTYN tref die bull’s eye Uittreksels uit KYK!-teaterblad se resensie oor Valentyn Rika Vermeulen Afrikaanse Musiekblyspel; geskryf deur Stephan Bezuidenhout (van Paul Roos Gimnasium) en Gustav Smit; regie deur Stephan Bezuidenhout; musiekregie deur Ronella van Rensburg(Paul Roos) met leerders van Paul Roos Gimnasium, HMS Bloemhof en Hoërskool Stellenbosch. In die Japie Krige saal, PRG, Stellenbosch.

VALENTYN is bewonderenswaardig bymekaar gebring – in sewe dae (!) – deur Gustav Smit en Stephan

Bezuidenhout en is ’n uiters genotvolle blyspel, byna foutloos, en in die kol.

Die sangers-spelers is almal in Graad 8–11, met die uitsondering van Gustav Smit wat self die manlike hoofrol vertolk. Ieder en elk van hulle, of dit ’n klein rolletjie of hoofrol is, het ’n juweel gemaak met wat hulle gegee is om te doen. Deurgaans is dié tien spelers ook goeie sangers en heerlik om na te luister.

In die kol aan die regisseur (Stephan Bezuidenhout) vir die ontginning van talente en die slim wyse waarop hy deurgaans iets laat gebeur en nooit geyk of vervelig raak nie.

Michael Lord of Paul Roos Gimnasium recently won the Junior Men’s Section (500m swim, 14km MTB ride and 5km trail run) of the 2014 SA Cross Thiathlon Championships, making him South African Champion as well as Africa Champion for 2014. Michael will represent South Africa in Germany at the World Cup in August this year. Michael was representing WP at the SA Championships. The race included the African Triathlon Cup and was therefore an international event.

Michael was congratulated by means of a letter from the President of Triathlon South Africa, dr. Debbie Alexander: “On behalf of the TSA Executive Committee, herewith please accept our heartfelt congratulations with your sterling performance at the 2014 Buffelspoort ATU Cross Triathlon African Championships.”
