FASHION
The hols are over and it’s THAT time of year again. But it’s not all that bad. Pepe Sofianos reckons school’s the place to chill with your crew, so best to just grin and get on with it and have fun with these brill buys.
THE PERFECT PREP Shaving with soap is convenient but clogs up the razor blade so create a smooth and cushioned surface over your skin for a safe and smooth razor ride with Loving Touch Teenz Invigorating Shaving Gel, R43.99 and Loving Touch Teens Hydrating Shave Creme, R31.99.
HOW TO SHAVE WITHOUT NICKS OR CUTS It is easiest when you first start shaving to sit on the edge of the bath with your legs inside the tub near the taps. Rinse your legs in warm water and apply shaving cream or gel evenly, covering the front and back of your legs. Use short smooth strokes and work up towards your knee in the direction against hair growth and lift your razor slightly above the skin between strokes to avoid cuts. Remember to rinse the razor under the tap after each stroke to get rid of the hair stuck in the razor. When you’re done rinse both legs off and apply moisturiser. Always rinse the razor thoroughly before storing it away.

Iced berry
terrine
Makes 8 to 10 slices INGREDIENTS Terrine • 1 large Madeira sponge cake, or panettone • 300g each ripe strawberries, blueberries and raspberries • 2 litres vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
INGREDIENTS Topping • 250g frozen raspberries • 200g fresh or frozen blueberries • 200g sliced strawberries • 1 tablespoon icing sugar
METHOD Line a 900g loaf tin with cling film, making sure it overlaps the sides of the tin so that you can fold it over the dessert.
Place a layer of vanilla ice cream onto the base of the tin and on top of that place a few thin slices of sponge cake. Cover with a row of strawberries, and next to that a row of blueberries, and next to that a row of raspberries. Cover the berries with vanilla ice cream and continue layering as before till the loaf tin is full. Press down firmly to make sure you seal all the holes. Fold the cling film over the top. Place the tin in the freezer and freeze till really hard. Remove the terrine from the freezer 15 minutes before you want to serve it. Dip quickly into warm water and unmould it onto a platter. Top with the berries and give it a good shaking of icing sugar. TIP: For easier slicing, dip your knife in hot water. © Cooking with Jenny Morris, Sunbird Publishers 2011, Text & Images Jenny Morris 2011

RHENISH PRIMARY SCHOOL (t) 021 883 3152 (e) rhenish@mweb.co.za Chess champ! Alexander van der Merwe (Grade 7) played in the South African Junior Chess Championships (SAJCC) in Johannesburg from 4 to 9 January as part of the Western Province U/14A team. He won his board prize and his team came second, which is already an achievement. What was, however, truly remarkable is that Super Chess Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura from the United States took part in the largest simultaneous exhibition (101 games!) ever to be held in South Africa at the SAJCC on 7 January. Nakamura is currently ranked 8th in the world. Alexander also participated in this simultaneous exhibition and was one of two players who beat Nakamura, which is truly remarkable. It is extremely rare for a chess player to get an opportunity to play a Super Chess Grandmaster, let alone win. This is therefore an achievement that Alexander will cherish for a very long time!

Bloemhof-tennisspeler op pad na Afrika-beker Rochelle Pienaar (15), ’n kranige tennisspeler en Graad 10-leerder aan die Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, het in Desember aan verskeie toernooie deelgeneem en op Tennis Suid-Afrika (TSA) se 0.16ranglys tot die nommer 3-posisie landwyd geklim. Sy het ook die nommer 1posisie in die dubbels behaal. Op grond hiervan is sy in die SA 0.16-span opgeneem wat tussen 5 en 17 Januarie in Gaborone, Botswana deelgeneem het. Die spelers van hierdie span het eers aan ’n Internasionale Tennisfederasie (ITF)toernooi deelgeneem, waar Rochelle die goue medaljes in beide die enkel- en dubbelspel verorwer het. Daarna is sy as die nommer 1-speler van die SA 0.16span aangewys wat aan die Suider-Afrika Junior Streekskampioenskappe deelgeneem het. Rochelle is ook in hierdie kampioenskappe onoorwonne en tree saam met haar spanmaats Michaela Loubser (privaat) en Jessica Portwig (Hoërskool Helpmekaar) as die oorwinnaars uit die stryd. Hierdie 0.16span kwalifiseer om later vanjaar aan die Afrika Kampioenskappe in Tunisië deel te neem.
Matrikulante van 2017 Die HMS Bloemhof se matrikulante van 2017 het weer eens bewys dat gesonde werksetiek en deursettingsvermoë tot puik prestasies lei. Gabby Smuts (95.8%) en Rita van der Walt (94.2%), ons topleerders, is albei op die WKOD se merietelys en 15 leerders (10.2% van die klas) slaag met ’n gemiddeld van 90% of meer. Die uitslae is as volg: • 147 kandidate voltooi en slaag die eksamen – 100% slaagsyfer • 146 kandidate slaag met matrikulasievrystelling – 99.31% • 107 leerders (73% van die groep) slaag met ‘n B-gemiddeld of hoër • 62 leerders (42.17% van die groep) slaag met 4 of meer A’s • 58 leerders (39% van die groep) slaag met ’n A-gemiddeld • 3 leerders het 8 A’s | 26 leerders het 7 A’s | 13 leerders het 6 A’s | 10 leerders het 5 A’s
Nuwe Graad 8’s amptelik verwelkom Die HMS Bloemhof verwelkom vanjaar 148 nuwe Graad 8’s – die grootste Graad 8-inname tot op hede. Saam met hul ouers is hulle amptelik op Dinsdag, 16 Januarie in die Bloemhof Sentrum verwelkom, waar elke nuwe leerder die geleentheid gehad het om die skool- en adjunkhoof te ontmoet. Die Graad 8’s het ’n besige verwelkomingsweek gehad wat atletiek, boeresport en ’n oorslaap in die skoolsaal ingesluit het. Akademiese verpligtinge het Maandag amptelik begin. Hailey Hine (13) beskryf die verwelkomingsweek as “die beste ooit”. Sy meen die oorslaap was die lekkerste, en al was almal skrikkerig vir die Blue Lady, Bloemhof se skoolspook, was sy nie bang nie. “Ek het baie nuwe vriende gemaak en dit regtig baie geniet.” Hailey sê sy het Bloemhof gekies omdat die skool akademies sterk is en omdat die koor baie goed is. “Ek gaan vanjaar ook skaak en netbal vir die skool speel,” sê sy. Emma Basson (13) deel Hailey se opinie dat die hoërskoolervaring sover baie pret is. “Dit het my verwagtinge oortref, veral omdat hier ’n aangename atmosfeer is. Almal is baie vriendelik en jy ontmoet baie nuwe vriende.” Graad 8’s word tradisioneel by nuwe hoërskole ontgroen, maar by Bloemhof word ’n spesiale oriënteringsprogram gevolg om te verseker dat die oorgang vir die nuwe leerders doelgerig en pret is. “Ek was baie bang vir dit wat voorlê,” erken Abigail Reynolds (13), “maar die ervaring was baie lekker en dit was ongelooflik om te sien hoe almal saamwerk. Die feit dat die onderwysers jou aanmoedig om aan alles deel te neem, al is jy nie baie goed daarin nie, maar dit nog lekkerder. Die susterskap wat ek ervaar, is baie spesiaal.” Die skoolhoof, me. Wilna van Heerden, is ook opgewonde oor die nuwe Graad 8’s: “Vir enige skoolhoof is dit ’n riem onder die hart om te sien daar is nog lig en drome in ons kinders se oë. Dis nou ons kosbare verantwoordelikheid om nie daardie lig te laat verdof nie, maar juis die regte mentors te wees om daardie drome te laat verwesenlik.”

Nuwe personeel
Toutrek HS Strand se eerste toutrekkompetisie het in Melkbosstrand in warm weersomstandighede plaasgevind.
Die skool se toutrekspanne het vir die eerste keer in die nuwe HS Strand-kleredrag vir toutrek deelgeneem.
Leana du Toit (NW, Wisk), Iwaan Schell (Tegnologie, LO), Lorinda van Wyk (Skeppende Kuns, Musikale Teater), Niehan Koekemoer (Besigheidstudie, EBW, WG) en Willene Theart (Drama).
Wiehann Meyer – Krieketspeler van formaat In 2016 het Rewayne Viljoen die Boland se 0.17-Plattelandspan gehaal. In 2017 het Wiehann Meyer hierdie prestasie herhaal. Dit is voorwaar ‘n groot prestasie vir HS Strand se krieket. Wiehann Meyer het aan die toernooi in Nelspruit deelgeneem en hom as veelsydige speler onderskei. As bouler en kolwer was hy een van die sterre van die Boland se 0.17Plattelandspan wat die toernooi onoorwonne afgesluit het. As kolwer het hy sy merk gemaak deurdat hy ‘n baie vinnige lopietempo gehandhaaf het, ‘n groot bate in eendagkrieket. Hy het amper ‘n lopie per bal aangeteken. As bouler het hy eweneens groot indruk gemaak. In die naelbytstryd teen die Vrystaat se Plattelandspan wat die Boland naelskraap met 3 lopies gewen het, het Wiehann 3 paaltjies vir 23 lopies ingeoes. Voorwaar goeie boulwerk. Dit is ‘n verblydende tendens dat die Strand provinsiale krieketspelers begin oplewer.
