EDUCATION

The National Benchmark Tests Are you in Grade 12? Are you thinking of applying to a South African university? If so, you’ll have to write the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs). Here, we summarise some of the key things you need to know about the tests.

WHAT ARE THE NBTS? The National Benchmark Tests measure your academic readiness for university.

They complement and support (rather than replace or duplicate) your National Senior Certificate (NSC) results.

WHO USES THEM, AND HOW? A number of universities across South Africa use the NBTs to help interpret your NSC results. Universities use the NBT results in different ways: • Some use them to help make decisions about your access to university. This means that your NBT results, in combination with your NSC results, are used to determine whether you are ready for academic study.

• Some use them to determine placement within the university. This means that the results are used to decide whether you will need extra academic support after being admitted to university.

• Some use the tests to aid in curricula

development within the university – what is taught and when.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT WRITING THE NBTS? You can find out all you need to know about writing the NBTs in 2015 on the National Benchmark Tests website, www.nbt.ac.za. Here are some important points: • There are two tests: The AQL, or Academic Literacy and Quantitative Literacy test, and the MAT, or Mathematics test.

• Everyone applying to a university that uses the NBTs has to write the AQL test.

The MAT test is reserved for those candidates who wish to apply to programmes for which Maths is a requirement, such as Health Sciences, Engineering, Accounting, and most of the sciences.

• There are no past papers or special study materials to prepare for the tests.

The tests assess your prior knowledge: what you know and are able to do.

• You must register online to write the tests, and you pay up front. Go to www. nbt.ac.za to register.

• A complete schedule containing all test locations and dates is available on the NBT website.

• The costs are as follows: R80 for the AQL test only, and R160 for the AQL and MAT tests taken together.

• It is important that you write the test(s) in time to meet university admission deadlines. If you are applying to more than one university, make sure to take the test(s) in time to meet the earliest deadline.

See www.nbt.ac.za for more details.

If you have any queries about the NBTs, contact the call centre (021 650 3523), or connect with the organisers on Facebook (facebook.com/nationalbenchmarktests) or Twitter (twitter.com/CETAP_ UCT).

LANDSDIENS BESOEK KIRSTENBOSCH. Leerders geniet dit geweldig baie, so tussen die reënbuitjies deur. Die leerders hang behoorlik aan die lippe van ons biotanikus. Ons stap die hangbrug tussen die dinosourusse deur. Ons doen ook die Braille voetpad. Hier moes die leerders hul oë toemaak en met die tou langs stap om behoorlik in voeling met blindes te kan wees.

LANDSDIENS/LAND SERVICE MIZPAH KAMP/CAMP Gr. 1-4 besoek die Mizpah Jeugkamp 29-31 Mei 2015. Dit reën omtrent die heel naweek, maar die leerders kon hul gate uit geniet met al die binnenshuise speletjies en handwerkaktiwiteite wat aangebied is. The “Working on Fire Crew” visited the camp and demonstrated some amazing feats. Showing us how fit they need to be. Die spanne het daarna hul eie plakkate gemaak om te wys wat hul geleer het. Ons kon Saterdagmiddag ‘n bietjie gaan stap en het op ‘n plekke gaan sit waar ons die stilte en landskap kon ervaar.

Saterdagnag kon ons ‘n nagmars hê en kon darem so ‘n stukkie van die sterrehemel ervaar voor die wolke dit weer versper het.

HEALTH

WINTER COLD AND FLU FIGHTING TIPS:

The season of colds and flu is upon us, but fear not: We have a secret weapon with which to nip illness in the bud!

McNab’s SuperGuard is a convenient and affordable single dose sachet that provides you with a carefully formulated dose of the vitamins, minerals, and herbs your body needs to fight off winter viruses.

This six-tablet combination contains immune-boosting ingredients like vitamins A, B, C, D and E, which help your body fight off harmful microorganisms. And minerals like copper, selenium, and zinc, which are essential in maintaining an effective immune system and preventing common viral infections.

What sets McNab’s SuperGuard apart is super-ingredient Sutherlandia*, Africa’s very own immune-boosting herb, which has been used for centuries by many different cultures to combat infection and boost immune

function.

At McNab’s, we realise that feeling sick drains your body of precious energy and that is why McNab’s SuperGuard not only boosts your immune system, but also gives you a much needed energy boost.

WINTER COLD AND FLU FIGHTING TIPS

• Avoid junk food and choose hearty vegetable soups to keep you warmed up this winter.

• Get at least seven hours of sleep each night to give your body a chance to build your immune system.

• Drink alcohol moderately Excessive drinking can suppress your immune system for a few days afterwards.

• Be proactive by boosting your immune system with a dose of McNab’s SuperGuard every two days.

Reacting to the first

sneeze or itchy throat is probably too late.

PS: Once you have recovered from your cold or flu, why not try McNab’s SuperCharge, your daily dose of sustained energy. Our modern lifestyles of little sleep, long work hours, eating junk food, and drinking lots of caffeine and alcohol often result in a micronutrient deficiency, causing low energy levels. McNab’s SuperCharge combats this with a carefully selected range of multivitamins, minerals, omega oils, and herbs (such as Superherb Siberian Ginseng) for an extra dose of allday energy and all-round wellness.

STUDY SKILLS

Parow North Primary School recently offered Study Skills workshops on Saturdays where parents were required to attend with their children.

Presenter, Tania Mostert, not only exposed students and parents to the different learning styles, but various studying techniques and graphic organisers were introduced. The workshop was practical and time was set aside for students to practise each of the techniques. Feedback received by parents was that they found the practical examples helpful as well as the introduction of methods which they had not thought of using before.

HERWINNINGSPROJEK

0/13A HOKKIESPANNE Die o/13A-dogters hokkiespan van Laerskool Gene Louw het ‘n baie suksesvolle seisoen. Hulle is tans eerste in hulle liga. Baie geluk! Ons sien uit na die tweede gedeelte van die seisoen.

Laerskool Gene Louw se 0/13A-seuns hokkiespan het op 30 Mei saam met 11 ander skole aan die Hermanus Hokkiefees deelgeneem. Gene Louw het na die finaal deurgedring deur die span van Somerset College in ‘n spannende semi-finaal met ‘n strafdoel te wen. In die finaal het Somerset College die bordjies verhang en die wedstryd met 1 -0 gewen. Ons is trots op ons hokkieseuns se welverdiende silwer medaljes!

The Grade 3 classes of Gene Louw Primary celebrated Ascension Day with an Open Assembly on Friday, 22 May. The theme was: “Children of the world are God’s hands on earth. They have tasks to do and words of hope to share while they wait for Jesus to return.” The teachers, learners and visiting parents all experienced the message of hope and the true meaning of Ascension Day.

VRIENDELIKE BEREDE POLISIELEDE MAAK DRAAI BY SKOOL

Vrydag, 29 Mei was daar tweede pouse groot opgewondenheid toe vier berede polisiebeamptes op patrollie by Laerskool Bellville-Noord verby gekom het. Die kinders het dadelik na die heining gestroom en die beamptes met allerhande vrae bestook wat vriendelik beantwoord is. Die goed afgerigte perde was deurentyd rustig en het net soveel, of nog meer, aandag ontvang (en geniet).

Groot was die terleurstelling toe die klok lui en die leerders moes rye toe. Ongelukkig het ons nie die name van die vriendelike offisiere gekry voordat hul al reeds weer vertrek het om hul patrollie voort te sit nie. Ons is baie bly dat daar sulke berede patrollies uitgevoer word, en hoop werklik dit sal op ‘n meer gereelde basis rondom Ls Bellville-Noord en ander skole plaasvind.

ARTSCAPE HTS HOST VREDENBURG ICE HOCKEY

The 12A1 class visited Arts Scape to view John Kani’s play, “Nothing but the Truth”.

IN SPORTS DAY

HTS Bellville hosted Vredenburg High for the first time in many years for an annual sports day. Rugby, Hockey, Netball and Soccer was played with a great spirit between Hatties and our visitors from the West Coast.

Vredenburg dominated HTS in the Netball matches, but HTS hit back with some good U19 rugby results beating the

visitors 61-6. The Hockey was also won

by Vredenburg with scores of 2-1 (Girls U19) and (1-0) to the Boys U19 team.

The surprise of the day was the HTS U19 soccer that beat Vredenburg 6-0 after the tight matches between the U17 and 15 boys’ teams. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Vredenburg High and look forward to our trip to the West Coast in 2016.

Jayson September received his WP colours for ICE HOCKEY! We very proud of you Jayson!

Gasvroue doen moeite om die tafels te versier. ‘n Oud-leerder, Amber Kruger, het die dametjies vermaak met haar sang terwyl die onderwyseresse model gespeel het. Die Aristea dogtertjies wil graag die GSF-personeel bedank vir hierdie geleentheid.

AMANZI SE ABIQUA KAMP

Op 10 April het 50 graad-9 leerders na ‘n lang busrit uiteindelik, moeg en uitgeput, by Amanzi se Abiqua kamp in Namibië aangekom. Kort daarna het ons begin gereed maak vir ‘n onbeskryflike avontuur.

Elke dag het ons min of meer 21km geroei. Die geselskap was fantasties en die uitsig asemrowend. In die aande het ons met niks meer as ‘n slaapsak en kussing onder die skitterende sterrehemel gelê. Ons dae het bestaan uit watergevegte, filosofiese gesprekke en natuurlik ‘n magdom kos. Na vier dae se roei het die kampleiers ons bederf met heerlike potjiekos, koffie en koekies. Ons kon hier vir die eerste keer in ‘n lang tyd weer in warm water stort. Daardie aand het ons vir die laaste keer onder die sterre gelë en gesels, voor ons op 14 April met emmers vol water wakker gemaak is om die lang pad terug aan te pak.

EUR PA

Die groep graad 11’s van Hoërskool DF Malan het verlede week te midde van groot opgewondenheid na Europa vertrek. Nadat hulle die geleentheid gaan kry het om vir ‘n paar dae lank Parys en London te verken, is die hoogtepunt van die reis hul besoek aan België. Hier sal die Dee-Effers die voorreg hê om vir twee weke lank skool te gaan by die Guldensporen-college, DF Malan se susterskool in Kortrijk. Hierdie jaarlikse uitruil tussen die twee skole is deel van die Wye Wêreldprojek wat ten doel het om nie net brûe tussen die twee skole te bou nie, maar beslis ook heelwat nuwe vriende te maak!

“It is really great to be a part of this wonderful team and I would like to thank my netball teacher, Dalene Louw for everything she has done,” Alison said. The Grade 12 pupil has been selected for Western Cape (WC) team, in different age groups, for seven consecutive years. She made the team again during trials held at the school a fortnight ago.

“I am proud of myself for making the WC team but it does not end here. I have set myself goals such as representing SA at the Commonwealth Games.” Referring to the trials, she said:“The competition was really tough as everyone who made it to the trials was the best from their region. I was nervous when I watched the games I did not play in because everyone looked well prepared and in great shape. It was probably a difficult selection for the selectors,” she said.Alison also credits her netball teacher Elizma Van Rensberg who suggested that she should play netball in primary

school and her family who always stood behind her.
