Hi there, people of the Northwest! We hope you are seeing the first blossoms and jasmin appear – it is beautiful here in the Boland already and we are enjoying the slightly warmer days (and nights). With Spring in the air, we are also starting to think of getting into shape a bit after the wonderfully cozy winter months. Use our Healthy Eating Goals to help you get back on track with your health goals if you have maybe slipped a bit. For Women’s Month, we are delighted to tell you a bit more about beloved South African actress Anna-Mart van der Merwe, who has achieved iconic status as one of our country’s top actresses in a variety of genres. Her new blockbuster movie, Dis Koue Kos, Skat (with English subtitles) will be hitting the movie theatres at the end of this week. We also introduce AWSUM team member Nicole Davids, who has a knack for getting things done at AWSUM speed! The winners of our Elvis Blue competition of last month are announced below – Nicole Davids congratulations! Enjoy the music. Administration All the best for the rest of the school term. Nicole has been Marika & your dedicated AWSUM team

ELVIS BLUE: OPTICS WENNERS Kari Hoogendijk van Stellenbosch Lihandie Swart van Potchefstroom Julle CDs is op pad!
Noem die naam Anna-Mart van der Merwe en mense is gewoonlik in ‘n effense beswymeling – dié geliefde en veelsydige (en beeldskone) SuidAfrikaanse aktrise dwing bewondering af vir wat sy ookal aanpak – met flieks vanaf Die Storie van Klara Viljee tot die splinternuwe Dis Koue Kos, Skat, is sy ‘n wenner by haar gehore. Ons het gesels met Anna-Mart op pad na ‘n repetisie ‘n week voor die opening van haar nuwe toneelstuk,The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, in Kaapstad, in die lieflike Lust halfpad tussen Paarl en Franschhoek, waar sy deesdae woon. V: Vertel ons meer van die nuwe toneelstuk?
A: Ek repeteer vir ‘n ongelooflike verhoogstuk, The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, deur Athol Fugard. Die stuk open die einde van die maand in die historiese Fugardteater in Distrik 6 in Kaapstad. Die rol was ‘n droom, omdat Athol, op 84 jaar oud, self die regie behartig. Dit is ‘n ongelooflike voorreg en ervaring. Ek het verlede jaar in sy stuk People Are Living There in die Markteater in Johannesburg opgetree, en toe hierdie geleentheid kom om onder sy regie te werk, was dit amper net te goed om waar te wees!
V: Hoe vergelyk die stuk met Dis Koue Kos, Skat?
A: Dis Koue Kos, Skat was ‘n wonderlike ervaring – vir ‘n vyftig-plusser om die hoofrol in ‘n romatiese komedie te speel, was nogal ‘n ding! Ek was verstom oor die jonger generasie akteurs se totaal ander visuele verwysingraamwerke, en het baie by hulle geleer. Die fliek word die einde van die maand landwyd uitgereik.
V: Jy het sepiebekendheid verwerf toe 7de Laan begin het. Films, sepies, verhoog – wat is jou gunsteling?
A: Sjoe, ja – my eerste TV-film was gedoen voor daar iets soos ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse sepie Page 2

bestaan het! Ek dink die verhoog sal moet eerste kom, as ek sou moes kies. Daar is net iets aan die proses en dinamika – ook met die gehoor – wat dit ‘n magic manier maak om te act. Ek sou nogal graag in Europa deel van ‘n vaste teatergeselskap wou wees. Ek dink dit moet ‘n fantasiese ervaring wees om te groei as verhoogakteur in so ‘n setup.
V: Was drama ‘n roeping?
A: Dit was, maar eers laat in my skoolloopbaan. Ek het eers tale op Stellenbosch geswot, waar ek Vrydaemiddae dramaklasse by Babs Laker geloop het, en toe drama by UCT. Daarna het ek by die destydse Truk aangesluit en my verhoogloopbaan begin … en dit was dit.
V: Wat doen jy om te ontspan?
A: O, ek stap graag – die gevoel van aarde onder my voete is my redding. As ‘n gebore en getoë Vredendaller, is ek na aan die aarde in my leefwyse.
V: Gunstelingmusiek?
A: Eerste in my kop: Sade. Middeleeuse musiek. Jazz.
V: Gunstelingboek?

A: Die überklassieke Narciss and Goldmund, deur Herman Hesse. O ja – The Bone People, deur Keri Hulme, was ook ‘n boek wat my diep geboei en geraak het.

Van die koorlede is al vanaf hul grondslagfase deel van die Juniorkoor en het later oorgeskuif na die Seniorkoor, dus het die koor ‘n baie standvastige basis en is hulle ‘n puik uitvoerproduk van Laerskool ML Fick!

Health & Wellbeing 8 HEALTHY EATING GOALS Small changes can make a big difference to your health. Try incorporating at least six of the eight goals below into your diet. Commit to incorporating one new healthy eating goal each week over the next six weeks. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert. The more colourful you make your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals, and fibre your body needs to be healthy. Make half the grains you eat whole grains: An easy way to eat more whole grains is to switch from refined grain food to wholegrain food, for example by eating wholewheat bread instead of white bread. Read the ingredients list and choose products that list wholegrain ingredients first. Look for things like whole wheat, brown rice, bulgur, buckwheat, oatmeal, rolled oats, quinoa or wild rice. Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk: Both have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but fewer calories and less saturated fat. Choose a variety of lean protein foods: Meat, poultry, seafood, dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts and seeds are considered part of the protein foods group. Select leaner cuts of ground beef (where the label says 90% lean or higher), turkey breast, or chicken breast.
Compare sodium in foods: Use the nutrition facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like soup, bread and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” “reduced sodium,” or “no salt added.” Drink water instead of sugary drinks: Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in diets. Try adding a slice of lemon, lime or watermelon or a splash of 100% juice to your glass of water if you want some flavor. Eat some seafood: Seafood includes fish (such as salmon, tuna and trout) and shellfish (such as crab, mussels and oysters). Seafood has protein, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids (heart-healthy fat). Adults should try to eat at least eight ounces a week of a variety of seafood. Children can eat smaller amounts of seafood, too. Cut back on solid fats: Eat fewer foods that contain solid fats. The major sources of such foods are cakes, cookies and other desserts (often made with butter, margarine or shortening), pizza, processed and fatty meats (e.g. sausages, hot dogs, bacon, ribs) and ice cream. http://www.fitness.gov/eat-healthy/how-to-eat-healthy/
Bestmed’s You’ve Got the Power Challenge!
Does your school have the power to take on the challenge? Launched last year with 63 schools across the country, ‘We’ve Got the Power Campaign’ has now expanded. This year, healthy living will be demonstrated not only by learners, but their families too. This campaign will run from 1 August up until 30 September 2016. Sasja la Grange, Marketing and Communications Manager at Bestmed says, “Following on the success of last year’s pilot campaign, we have once again identified 63 schools across the country that will be participating in this year’s campaign. The teams are expected to showcase the benefits of healthy living by creating unique, cool and fun music videos. The campaign is both educational and rewarding. We have awesome prizes up for winners, and these include cash prizes for runnersup and other spot prizes. The overall winning school will, over and above its cash prize, receive a MUSIC CONCERT featuring Richard Stirton, Gavin Edwards, Almur Marais and Jeremy Olivier from The Voice SA.” You’ve Got the Power campaign challenge underpins Bestmed’s focus on preventative healthcare, which is validated by its wellness pillars of Be Active, Be

AWSUM NEWS AUGUST 2016
Safe, Be Nutri-wise, Be Fin-fit and Be Happy. The campaign challenge inspires scholars and their families to incorporate these pillars into their daily lives, and demonstrate it in the music videos. “Who says you cannot be healthy and have fun? We received encouraging feedback from last year’s launch campaign where schools learnt quite a bit about healthy lifestyle activities and enjoyed the process. We are committed to continue educating children about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in all possible ways we can,” adds la Grange. In last year’s challenge, the schools created a music video based on Jeremy Loop’s songs and this year the music videos will be based on an upbeat song composed by Bestmed. The children will be able to sing or lip-sync the song. The videos can include choreography and fun dance moves that are cool, energetic and happy. With the aim of encouraging children to not only practise healthy lifestyle activities at school but also at home, this year Bestmed is including families to take
part in the challenge. la Grange cites, “Students spend their time both at school and at home therefore we would like them to continue practising their healthy lifestyle activities in all aspects of their lives. We also want to encourage their families to do the same.” “We look forward to receiving awesome music videos, and good luck to everyone,” concludes la Grange. You’ve Got the Power Challenge To become part of the challenge, visit www.ygtp.co.za for more information. Students are required to create a music video based on Bestmed’s song and demonstrate how healthy living can make for a better life within the school and family context. Teachers and families can also participate in the video as the aim is for the whole school to have fun. Once the video is completed, it can be uploaded on the site before the competition closes on 30 September 2016. Bestmed will announce the winners on 24 October 2016.

POTCHEFSTROOM HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS (t) 018 294 5330 (e) pbhs@iafrica.com They debated as parliamentarians! The orators from Potchefstroom Boys High had a unique opportunity this year: their English teacher, Madri van Wyk, entered them, for the first time ever, in a competition called The Model United Nations. It is hosted by Education Africa in association with the United Nations general assembly. This type of debating style is the same as the one that is used in parliament. In order to register, a hosting school, such as Boys’ High, had to choose a partner school to work with. BA Seobi in Ikageng was their partner school and the motion for 2016 was “Labour Relations versus Economic Growth”. Every team had a country to represent, and Boys’ High had the giant task of epitomising China. It was a great opportunity to be in the Mmabatho Legislative Court in Mafikeng and the two brothers, Tshiamo Sello and Lebo Petshwa were part of the team. These guys will definitely take part next year again as they had to opportunity to work with delegates from the United Nations and various other schools in North West and the outcome was unanimous: It was the best fun ever!

This exciting and fun-filled campaign is intended to uplift and inspire the youth of Africa and the world to unite together in a stand to save the natural heritage of Africa. The 1 000 000 Footprints to Save Africa campaign aims to afford all children, irrespective of nationality, creed, colour or status, the opportunity to realise that their voices are powerful and capable of fuelling change and transformative action. It is their time to participate in the biggest display of unity ever seen. United, they have the potential to make positive change happen. By placing their footprints and names on sheets of fabric, the children of the world will participate in a united symbolic walk across the African continent – a peaceful protest against the continued exploitation and destruction of Africa’s natural resources.
