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”. 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.
“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.
“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.

Q & A met ANKE BOTHA HOOFDOGTER
EMIE
VAN LEEUWENHOF AKAD Baie geluk met jou verkiesing as hoofleier by jou skool. Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? In hierdie onsekere en moeilike tye, is dit soms moeilik om opgewonde te raak oor dinge wat nie verseker is nie, maar ek sien baie uit om te ervaar hoe God my gebruik as ‘n leier by die skool. Ek probeer regtig elke dag die beste weergawe van myself wees en al die uitdagings wat oor my pad gaan kom en hoe ek dit gaan hanteer, gaan moontlik na groei en ontwikkeling lei - dis baie exciting! Ek is ook vreeslik opgwonde om te sien hoe ek en my mede-leiers ons take gaan aanpak en met nuwe manière van goed doen vorendag kom. Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Ek is baie lief vir my skool en sy mense en daar is niks wat ek regtig sou verander nie, maar meer afdakke/skuilplek wanneer dit reën sou nie sleg wees nie. Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Ek hou nogals daarvan dat ons ‘n klein skool is. Daar is soveel meer geleenthede en hegte bande word gevorm. Ons is soos one big happy family. Ons snoepie is ook next level!
Rachel Neleah van Zyl
Cathrine de Klerk
Nicole Elizabeth Krause
Matriek is jou laaste jaar- van ‘n akademiese oogpunt, wat sal jy graag wil bereik? Ek sal baie graag onderskeidings in al my vakke wil behaal.
Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Moenie toelaat dat moeilike tye jou onder kry nie. Die Here is in beheer en Hy het ‘n plan vir elkeen van ons. Hou moed en byt vas. Ons moet juis die tyd gebruik om die beste van ons jaar en leierskap te maak. Wie is jou rolmodel? Dis baie moeilik om net een mens uit te sonder, want daar is soveel mense wat my op soveel verskillende maniere inspireer en motiveer. Alhoewel, ek kyk regtig op na my ouers. Hulle het ‘n positiewe uit kyk op die lewe, leer my hoe om ander lief te hê en getuig van God se genade. Ek leer elke dag so baie by hulle. Wat is jou planne vir na skool? Ek beplan om Bedryfs Ingenieurswese of BCom Internasionale Besigheid te gaan swot. As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Wonder Woman. Omtrent niks kan daai vrou keer nie. Ek wou nog altyd vlieg en om bulletproof wapenrusting te hê, sal nie sleg wees nie. Wie is jou Hollywood ‘celeb crush’? Ek verkies boerseuns, maar as ek regtig moet kies dan sal dit Liam Hemsworth wees.

By: Joan Smith Other fourteen-year-olds may while away the hours behind a gaming computer trying out ‘F1 2020’ or ‘Dirt Rally 2’, but Christian David Padayachee is into the real thing. Christian Padayachee, a grade 8 learner from Benoni High School, took to the racetrack for the first time in 2015 but, due to financial constraints, only officially started racing in the F400 Karting Challenge in 2018. From the first time that Christian was given the opportunity to drive a friend’s kart, he knew that this was something that he would excel in. Christian’s passion, talent, dedication and love for the sport fueled his desire to eventually make it to the ultimate podium in motorsport. We may very well see the making of another Jody Scheckter, South African-born F1 champ of 1979. Some of Christian’s accomplishments include a first place in the F200 Kart Challenge Vereeniging Kart Circuit Race in October 2019, a second place in the F200 Kart Challenge Zwartkops Race Circuit in March 2019, a third place in the F300 Kart Challenge Vereeniging Kart Circuit Race in February 2020, a first place in the F300 Kart Challenge Zwartkops Race Circuit in February 2021 and another first place in the F300 Kart Challenge Formula K Race Circuit in March 2021.

Klarissa Swanepoel 10 onderskeidings
Klarissa het 10 onderskeidings behaal in die eindeksamen 2020 – voorwaar ‘n uitsonderlike prestasie! Wat dit méér besonders maak, is die feit dat die impak van Covid haar nie gestuit het nie. Sy het ook ander toekennings behaal: sy is 4e onder die topleerlinge in Ekurhuleni-Noord, en 6e in Ekurhuleni. Verder is sy die toppresteerder in Engels eerste addisionele taal in Ekurhuleni en EN, en die toppresteerder in RTT in EN.
Gr 8 inhuldiging 19 Maart 2021 Kempies se nuwe gr 8’s is as volwaardige Kempies ingehuldig tydens ‘n tradisionele seremonie op die rugbyveld, wat deur talle ouers bygewoon is. Nadat hulle hul skoolbaadjies aangetrek het, het hul onder die groot klok op die aantreeblad deurgestap, as simbool van die begin van hul skoolloopbane as Kempies.

ALESSIO SFORZA HEAD BO
EGE
FROM ST BENEDICT’S COLL Congratulations on being selected as a leader at your school. What are you looking forward to the most during your term as a leader? To hopefully be a role model to the younger grades so they can aspire to be in a position like Head boy. I have always wanted to represent my school at the highest level and I’m truly honoured to be in such a position. I love a good challenge and I’ve heard that being head boy puts a lot more responsibility on your shoulders, so I can’t wait to be faced with various obstacles to see how well I can manage myself. Is there anything you would like to change at your school? There isn’t necessarily anything I would want to change, but rather I would like to improve on an aspect of the school. I want to help revive school pride amongst the boys. Boys need to be proud of wearing the badge. Another thing I would like to change about the school is boys being more involved in the school. I love my school and try to take part in as many activities as possible so I hope I can encourage the College boys to have the same view towards the school and start participating more because they want to. What do you love the most about your school? The boys that attend St Benedict’s and the great relationships I have made, the brotherhood. Another thing I love about
Bennies is the huge amount of support the teachers and coaches provide. We often take for granted how much work goes on behind the scenes for us to have a sports practice or to learn in class. In saying that I am truly grateful for all the staff. Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for? My goal is to hopefully achieve an overall average above 80% with at least 5 distinctions. What will your message of encouragement be for your prefects/ co-leaders? We should strive to be a role model for someone else. A great quote by Mahatma Gandhi “Be the change you want to see in the world”. If you want to go out and change the world or in our context change the school for the better don’t let anything stop you. It all starts with you, your ideas and what you truly believe in. Who is your role model? My brother is my role model. He set the path for me and without him, I don’t think I would be in the position that I am in. He was the one that got me hooked on sport, the one that taught me respect and overall he is the one that is always there to support me and give me guidance.

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.”

Q & A met KETAFRIGTER
NICO RAUBENHEIMER KRIE
EIDELBERG
VAN HOËR VOLKSKOOL H Hoe het jy verlede jaar se Covid-seisoen ervaar? Dit was baie taai vir spelers, asook al die afrigter gewees. Ons kon darm ‘n paar T20 wedstryde inkry wat bietjie gehelp het, maar die honger om op op die veld te kom, was groot. Hoe vorder hierdie jaar se voorbereiding in ag genome die beperkinge van die Covid regulasies? Met vriendskaplike wedstryde wat gespeel kon word, kon ons ‘n paar beurte inkry en van die junior manne op die veld kry wat defnitief beter was as geen wedstryde. Hoe lyk julle span vir 2021? Baie jonk en vol energie. Wat sal die sterkpunte van jou 2021span wees? Ek glo dis ‘n paar “gutsie” spelers met baie fight. As afrigter is dit presies wat jy wil hê. Wat is spesiaal omtrent Hoër Volkskool Heidelberg en om daar afterig? Behalwe dat ek self ‘n trotse Volkies Heidelberg old boy is, wat dit ‘n voorreg maak om hopelik te kan terug investeer, is dit ‘n skool met ‘n lang en `n ryk krieketverlede vol tradisies.
Heidelberg het self ‘n baie positiewe krieketgemeenskap wat baie help, veral met ondersteuning en ‘n passie vir die game. Wat is die moeilikste aspek van `n skole afrigter se taak? Ek dink eerstens om ‘n liefde te kweek onder kinders vir die game en tweedens om spelers te kry om net die game te geniet, fear of failure uit te skakel en in hulle self te glo. Wat kan die skool en ouers hierdie jaar te wagte wees van jul span? Positiewe krieket met ‘n “never quit attitude.”

JOSHUA VAN ZYL KRIEKETK
EIDELBERG
VAN HOËR VOLKSKOOL H Wat is jou beste herinnering tydens jou krieketloopbaan? My 189 teen KES 0/16A in 2020. Hoe voel dit om uiteindelik teen anders kole, na die 2020 - Covid – regulasies te speel? Dis altyd lekker om weer te kan baklei vir ‘n wen. Hoe gaan dit met julle seisoen sover? Sover het ons 1 wen, 1 verloor en een gelykop.
Wat maak jou span en skool spesiaal? Ons gees op en van die veld af. Wat motiveer jou om altyd jou beste te gee? Om ons kreet te skree na ‘n wen. Wie is jou krieketheld? Sonder twyfel Quinton de Kock. Buiten krieket, wat is jou ander belangstellings? GOD, gholf en gym.
Is jy `n natuurlike leier? Bv: `n goeie oog vir veldwerkplasings, die rotering van boulers en om situasies tydens die wedstryd te identifiseer en tea naliseer? In my opinie ja, maar dit bly ‘n interessante game en mens bly leer met elke wedstryd en dit versterk my as mens, as leier en as krieketspeler. Waaraan dink jy terwyl jy op die krieketveld is? Wat ek kan doen om my span se huidige situasie in die wedstryd te kan verbeter. Wie is elke jaar julle moeilikste opponente? Hoërskool Marais Viljoen.
Kies een? • `n Toeskouer wees by `n T20, 1-dag of Toetswedstryd? T20 •
Energade, SteriStumpi of Red Bull? Steristumpi
