Virtual sport series to showcase national school talent “The Showcase is a concept that was born during the Covid-19 pandemic and has grown to the first of its kind talent identification platform in South Africa”, says Gerhardi Odendaal, CEO of Old School Group, the host of The Showcase. “We designed this platform for athletes to improve their own ability at their own pace and to inspire kids that would not normally get the chance to showcase their talents to enter. Bobby Skinstad, Robbie Fleck and VanesMari Proudfoot have put their support behind this initiative and we are proud to combine their skills and knowledge, together with our industry specialists, within the programme”.

of their background or status of the school they attend, the opportunity to compete against each other. “Think about it, for the first time ever a learner from HTS Middelburg can compete against a learner from Hoërskool Namakwaland in Springbok, so it made perfect sense to join this initiative”, says Durandt van Zyl, CEO of AWSUM. “So many times, we see talent that gets lost in the crowds at schools. Now kids can enter and compete individually, and we present the best performers for contracting by talent seekers”.

The Showcase is a platform that gives school kids the opportunity to showcase their talent through sport-specific conditioning drills to determine speed, strength and skill level depending on the sport. Drills include the vertical jump, broad jump, sprinting, etc. and leaners submit the results of each test/showcase on the Showcase website and follow their results on a weekly leader board.

The AWSUM School News platform and The Showcase recently came together to give kids from all over the country and all walks of life, irrespective

The Showcase is a platform that gives school kids the opportunity to showcase their talent through sport-specific conditioning drills to determine speed, strength and skill level depending on the sport.

The 3 phased series consist of: Phase 1: 10-week period where learners will complete sport specific conditioning drills Phase 2: The top performing entries from Phase 1 will participate at a live event against each other and have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of an audience of talent seekers, agents, varsity and high school recruiters, bursary givers, scouts and professional sports team coaches.

Phase 3: A 4-day camp will allow players to develop skills and get tips from the best in the sports industry.

“Children between the ages of 12 and 18 can showcase their athleticism and fitness as part of this unique programme and make their talents visible to top recruiters. This also builds self-confidence and enables youngsters to perform on a broader platform to measure their performance against other learners across the country”, van Zyl concluded.

VAN LAERSKOOL GOEDEH

Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Ek sien baie uit na al die nuwe uitdagings en lesse wat my rol as hoofmeisie (leier) gaan bring asook om in myself te groei en om ‘n positiewe inpak op ander leerlinge te maak.

Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool?

Ek geniet die onderwysers se geesdrif en omgee vir die kinders. Hulle dink gereëld interessante en spesiale pretdae uit vir die kinders om aan deel te neem.

Redaksie vir 2021

Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Glo in jouself en raadpleeg Liewe Jesus in alles wat jy doen. Leef elke dag so dat jy vir ander ‘n voorbeeld en inspirasie sal wees.

Wie is jou rolmodel? Beide my ma en pa is my rolmodelle, hulle leer en inspireer my om die beste weergawe van myself te wees in alles wat ek aanpak en doen.

Hulle leer my om altyd nederig en dankbaar te wees met die suksesse wat ek behaal en nie grootmoedig daaroor te wees nie.

VAN LAERSKOOL GOEDEH

Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om regtig ‘n verskil te maak in iemand se lewe.

Dalk net om iemand aan te moedig, en wanneer daardie persoon eendag terug kyk dat hulle kan sê a.g.v my aanmoediging het hulle nooit opgegee nie.

Na watter hoërskool gaan jy in 2022?

Hoërskool Secunda

Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool?

Ek geniet die samesyn tussen my vriende by die skool.

Wie is jou rolmodel?

My pa, hy is ‘n man soos Job - vroom, opreg en dien God onvoorwaardelik.

Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Lei deur die voorbeeld wat jy stel en die respek wat jy vir ander het reflekteer terug na jou selfrespek.

Grade 9 subject choices: why you should start considering them now In a few months’ time, Grade Nine learners will be required to make important decisions about which combination of subjects they will be pursuing through to their final Matric exams. This is an important first milestone on the road to building a career, an education expert says, adding that while the decision would normally be left until later in the year, the world has changed so dramatically that Grade Nines should start thinking about this significant decision sooner rather than later.

“The world changed last year – not just because schooling and work were disrupted and not just because both had to happen from home in ways never imagined before. The world changed because we are unlikely to go back to what we experienced in 2019,” says Natasha Madhav, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest private higher education provider.

“It has long been said that one needs to prepare young people for jobs that do not exist, but this has never been a concept that has been crystallised in a way that really helped one make decisions. Perhaps it is clearer now to focus on preparing for a world of work that is changed and focusing on industries and skill sets that are and will be in demand, rather than on jobs with names that are familiar to us.

“So, for instance, law has not vanished as a field, but most lawyers now need to consult online as easily as they do in person and they can collaborate in real time with colleagues all over the place. They also need to be advising people on both physical and digital implications of what they do.”

“The basic instruction is the same – develop an understanding of fields you are interested in and the things you are good at. Then look for jobs and careers that seem future-focused. Then, look for institutions that not only offer future-oriented curricula, but whose teaching and learning and assessment are explicitly directed at a changing world”.

This then links to smart subject choices, Madhav says.

“If your field is likely to be scientific and technical and analytical, you are still well served to include maths and science and perhaps a technology subject. If your field is problem-solving and solution-oriented, then subjects like history and design or visual arts will provide that skill set. If you are looking for both, you will need both. Higher education institutions are not going to move away from some of the standard demands for particular high-demand disciplines or fields, so be sure that you understand what you need for admission and include these in your choices.

One of the key issues to consider is the fact that automation is on the rise, and that technological adoption by companies will transform jobs and indemand skills in future. And, as noted by the WEF in their most recent Future of Jobs report, skills gaps will continue to be high as in-demand skills across jobs change in the next five years.

As noted in the report: “The top skills and skill groups which employers see as rising in prominence in the lead up to 2025 include groups such as critical thinking and analysis as well as problem-solving, and skills in self-management such as active learning,

resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility… On average, companies estimate that around 40% of workers will require reskilling of six months or less and 94% of business leaders report that they expect employees to pick up new skills on the job, a sharp uptake from 65% in 2018.”

So where to start researching which careers will exist when you matriculate, and which of them might interest you?

“A good place to start, on top of doing online research, is to find a higher education institution that has already demonstrated that they produce technically proficient and in-demand graduates, whose skills are aligned with what is required in the workplace because of their close industry connections. In other words, an institution whose curricula are up-to-date at all times, and that is able to quickly and resiliently respond to our fastchanging world. You will know who they are as they will confidently speak about change and flexibility and adaptability and about the link between study and work,” says Madhav.

“By speaking to a student advisor at such an institution, which crucially must also be able to demonstrate that meaningful learning continued during lockdown, learners will be able to discuss their current interests and strengths, and then get advice and insight into which fields will be in high demand in future, and which subjects they can choose later this year, which will give them access to these fields.”

VAN CURRO BANKENVELD

FROM CURRO BANKENVE Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for? My goal for this year was to do my work to the best of my abilities and to not worry about my marks as I know I have put effort into my work and my studies. I struggled in the beginning especially when we had to work from home, but I think I have accomplished this goal during my finals. I have the mindset of whatever happens, happens. I know I put the

work in and therefore I will be happy with my results.

What are your plans after matric in 2022? I am going to TUKS to study a Bsc degree, I am not quite sure in what direction I would like to go and which Bsc degree I am going to end up with.

But I am exited to see what life holds in for me!

Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om `n positiewe verandering by die skool te kan maak en vir ander ten alle tye te kan help en hulle skoolloopbaan meer aangenaam vir hulle maak. Ook om ‘n positiewe voorbeeld vir alle skoolleerlinge te kon wees.

Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Dat ons so ‘n kleinerige skool is, waar almal mekaar ken en oor die weg kom. Dis eintlik soos ‘n klein familie.

Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers?

Gee net jou beste en moenie teveel druk op jouself plaas nie. Probeer altyd ander help en vir ander ‘n goeie voorbeeld stel.

Wie is jou rolmodel?

My rolmodel is my pa met die goeie voorbeeld wat hy daagliks stel vir ons.

Hy is ‘n man met waardes en stel altyd sy familie eerste.
