Jamandi en Machiel, ook bekend as die Lekker Bekkers is die eerste wenners van M-Net se werklikheidsprogram, My Kitchen Rules. Op 10 Desember 2017 het die Lekker Bekkers met R1 miljoen prysgeld weggestap en AWSUM het hulle raak geloop in Bloemfontein by hulle gastehuis Solo Gracia. Dit is amper ‘n jaar later en AWSUM gesels met hulle oor hulle skooldae, MKR, braaidag en meer.
Waar was julle op skool? J: Ek was in Hoërskool Hartswater in die Noord-Kaap. M: Ek is ‘n ou Lantie, ek was in Hoërskool Jacobsdal Landboudal. Vertel asb vir ons lesers van julle kinderdae, wat sal julle altyd van skool onthou? J: Ek het dit gehaat om te leer, maar die maats en al die sosiale bedrywighede het opgemaak daarvoor. M: My atletiek dae, perdry en die lekker kuiers in die koshuiskamer. Hoe sal julle julself beskryf as tieners? J: Ek was ‘n rebelse kind. M: Ek was net stout. Wat was die eerste dis wat julle leer maak het as kind? J: Defnitief toasted cheese, ek was mal daaroor. M: As ek reg onthou was dit roereier. Kan julle vir ons ‘n kort opsoming gee van die afgelope jaar na My Kitchen Rules? Ons lewens is op die oomblik mal besig, naweke toer ons met ons ‘weber pizza’ en pop-up restaurante. In die week probeer ons by die huis bly saam ons kinders, maar ons geniet elke oomblik. Wat is die grootste les wat julle geleer het gedurende My kitchen Rules? Enige foute wat julle nie weer sal maak nie? Die grootste les wat ons geleer het is om altyd jou instinkte te vertrou en altyd mekaar te vertrou en natuurlik stick to the recipe!! Die belangrikste is om altyd nederig te bly.

My Kitchen Rules se laaste episode was geskiet op julle 10 jaar huweliksherdenking. Wat is julle resep vir ‘n gesonde huwelik? Eerstens moet jy regtig goeie maats wees en ‘n goeie verhouding met die Here hê. Respekteer mekaar altyd en hope liefde! Waar kom julle liefde vir kosmaak vandaan? Ons is albei verskriklik sosiaal en dit is waar die liefde vir onthaal en samesyn ontstaan het. Ons hou daarvan om mense te onthaal en vir hulle kos te maak. Watter gunsteling dis sal jy vir die ander een maak om hom of haar te bederf? J: Ek sal vir Machiel varktjops en mash maak met daardie spaghetti in ‘n blikkie, dit is verskriklik ek weet, maar hy is maar vreemd. M: Ek sal vir Jamandi ‘n lekker potjie maak, sy hou van deurmekaar kos. Wat is julle kinders se gunsteling kos? Enige pasta, ons kan dit enige tyd vir hulle maak. Wat sal julle nie oor julle lippe sit nie? J: Tamatiesous M: Tamatiesous Watter advies het julle vir ons lesers wat graag wil inskryf vir ‘n werklikheidsprogram? Wees altyd net jouself. Dit is die heel belangrikste om net jouself te wees, want mense is baie krities en die media kan jou soms uitmekaar skeur. Weet wie en wat jy is en glo in jouself. Wat is volgende vir die Lekker Bekkers? Ons gaan nog ‘n toer doen, miskien ‘n resepteboek of ‘n TV program, wie weet?

Polar Plunge The Special Olympics hosted their annual Polar Plunge at Parktown Boys’ High School on Saturday 25th August. It was a wonderful event that saw patrons, athletes and volunteers jump into the pool and swim a lap in honour of the organisation. A number of local celebrities, along with political figures - and even Mr Williams - took the plunge! Everyone who attended the morning was thoroughly impressed by the school’s facilities, the school band and the traditional dancers. What an outstanding day it was! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the day.

St Peter’s Prep Schools - Building a better South Africa through Education This article is a report on a teacher intern programme initiated by the St Peter’s Foundation. The aim of the Isematholeni Intern Programme is to train disadvantaged young adults to become excellent professional teachers, in order to improve education for thousands of children in South Africa. There are three pillars to this programme: 1. Academic: B. Education UNISA degree. The interns of 2017s’ pass rate was 86% with 36% of subjects achieving distinctions. 2. Classroom practice: daily on-the-job training in the classroom and exposure to innovative teaching methods, classroom management and discipline, workshops, parent consultations and more, ensure that the interns leave the programme as effective, motivated and well-prepared teachers for South African schools. Our interns, based at St Peter’s, have become the fundamental support for the Community Partnership programme initiative - at our two partner schools, Diepsloot Combined School and Sefikeng Primary. Here, we teach literacy on a daily basis. The Read for Africa programme, is followed to develop literacy skills using the Phono-Graphix Reading and Spelling method. As part of their teaching journey, the interns are exposed to different teaching environments and are responsible for teaching literacy. Each intern is assigned to a specific class and ensures that effective learning takes place through lesson planning, classroom management, etc. to expand children’s learning. 3. Psycho-social development: The psycho-social support that we offer seeks to create productive and effective teachers with a Leadership mind-set. Graduates of the programme need to be solution-driven with a positive outlook on life and the ability to meet its challenges. The interns have greatly benefited from a fulltime mentor. They encounter all sorts of problems, which distract them from their studies and the mentor is on hand to deal with the challenges on a daily basis as they arise. In addition, each intern is paired with a teacher for the term. This teacher plays an instrumental role in the interns’ social and emotional development. With the encouragement and support of the school and our confidence in the interns’ ability to do a great deal better, their eyes have been opened to their own potential.

Spring Day Tradition
Fun Run 2018
It’s a tradition almost as old as time itself. Many of our parents did exactly the same thing when they were at Rand Park Primary! To celebrate Spring Day, learners bring flowers and pot plants to school that are then delivered to Old Age Homes and facilities in the area. It is often a very chilly day, but the generosity and pretty colours warm many hearts.
A great morning of community fun. Thank you to Run Zone, Haval Northcliff, Rawson Properties, Curves Gym, Go Gym and JMPD for the support. Well done to our Parents’ Association members who made it such a smooth event.
Councillors 2019 Congratulations to our Councillors for the year 2019. We look forward to you leading the school into its 50th Year.
