While Matric is often viewed as the year, Grade 11 learners and their parents need to be aware that Matric is not a year-long event, but rather a two-year long project. Throughout one’s school career, Grade 12 (Matric) is viewed as the ultimate year, the year in which you have to account for what you learned in the decade before, and the year whose results will follow you for the rest of your life. But what learners and parents don’t realise, is that Grade 11 can arguably be considered as important, if not more so, than one’s final year, an education expert says.“There are at least five reasons why Grade 11 learners should take this year very seriously, and put as much effort into it as they will next year,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of The Independent Institute of Education. She says the penultimate school year is a significant one because it provides these options:

Insurance

Time testing

Evaluation of post-matric options

The effort you put into Grade 11 can be considered as insurance should something go awry in the future. There are an increasing number of institutions that make provisional offers based on your Grade 11 results, and many will still admit you even if your Grade 12 is a little less strong.

If you keep good track of how long it takes you to master different kinds of work, that will allow you to draw up an accurate study plan next year. Knowing your pace of work means you will be able to revise with enough time allocated right from the start, so that you don’t run out of days before you run out of work to revise.

Exam focus

Experimenting

Teachers set Grade 11 exams to mimic the format and complexity of Grade 12. That means that taking your Grade 11 exams seriously will help you understand how you are doing and how ready you will be for your final exams. It helps you to work out where you need to apply more focus. This year’s exams provide a measure of where you are, and should be treated as part of your preparation for your finals.

Grade 11 allows some time for experimenting before crunch-time arrives. Learn new study methods and stress management methods, and experiment with things you have not done before, like study groups and mind maps. Finding a variety of study techniques and approaches that work for you will allow you to enter Grade 12 with a revision system that will make you perform at your best.

Assessing their Grade 11 results and performance empower learners to make better decisions about their post-school direction, including about which options are available to them, what courses to apply for and where. Learners should start working out their ‘points’ for higher education entrance from Grade 10. This means they should thoroughly research the courses they want to study and the results they need for their application to be accepted. In Grade 11, learners are then able to monitor how realistic their aspirations are and where they need to do more work, which will reduce uncertainty when applying.

“

Matric does not start in your last year of school.

If you start applying your mind to your final exams right now and take the long view coupled with a strategy, you will be able to deliver your absolute best when you sit for your finals in a year and a half’s time, and significantly improve your chances of being able to follow your dream post-Matric.

3 DIY beauty recipes to heal chapped lips

It can be hard to stay “kissable” during winter. Winter weather brings cold weather and with cold weather comes dry skin and (sigh) chapped lips.

Lips don’t contain oil glands, which means that they’re even more susceptible to drying out and cracking than other parts of the skin. Lack of moisture in the air during the colder months only exacerbates the problem (another sigh).

To help heal your lips and get you back to your old kissable self, we’ve compiled a list of 5 nourishing DIY beauty recipes – scrubs, salves and balms – specially formulated to breathe life back into cold-battered lips.

Scrumptious black coffee lip scrub Ingredients

Directions

• ½ tsp maple syrup (or honey) • ½ tsp finely ground brown sugar • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil • 2 tsp finely ground coffee • Dash of cinnamon or pumpkin spice (optional) • 1–2 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional)

• Mix all ingredients together in a clean bowl, making a thick paste. Add spices or essential oil, if desired. Scoop mixture into clean container.

• To use, scoop a bit of the mixture onto a fingertip and then gently scrub the top and bottom lips to remove dry, chapped skin.

Recipe Clara Williams.

Ultra-hydrating lip salve Yummy matcha lip scrub Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 tsp of coconut oil • 1 tbsp of honey

• 1 tsp coconut oil • 1 tsp matcha powder

Directions Massage on and around lips, and leave mixture on for 5 minutes before wiping off.

The coconut oil will restore the lipid layer on the skin, while the honey acts as a moisturising and antibacterial agent.

Directions • Mix ingredients together and apply to lips. Rub in circular motions for 10–15 seconds and wash off.

• Follow with a lip balm.

lunchboxes

Already out of ideas for your kids’ lunchboxes, although school has just started again? Why not shake things up and take the lead from a few international flavours? There’s a whole world of lunchbox fillings to explore out there, packed with interesting, foreign flair and delicious combinations.

Italy Take a (basil) leaf out of Italian lunches by whipping up some lunchbox pizza rolls – simply roll out bread dough or use readymade pizza bases. Spread over a thin layer of tomato pasta sauce or pesto, then sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese and dried herbs over. Roll up and bake until golden and oozing. Cut slices of pizza roll for a flavourful lunchbox snack. For mini pizza rolls, use white bread and flatten it with a rolling pin before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Ukraine Take inspiration from a classic Ukrainian dish, blini, for a unique break time snack. These wholesome pancakes are served with smoked salmon or berries and cream cheese. Mix together cream cheese with a little honey and a drop of vanilla, then spread onto a pancake or flapjack. Top with thinly sliced strawberries or mixed berries and sandwich together (or roll up if you’re using pancakes). Wrap them tightly in cling wrap to make sure they stay fresh and soft until break time.

Greece Fresh, punchy flavours abound in Mediterranean lunchboxes. Tomato keftedes, a crispy tomato fritter, is a seriously delicious local delicacy – and great to make in advance for school lunchboxes. Mix together chopped tomato, onion, parsley, crushed feta and half a teaspoon of baking powder with enough flour to form a firm dough.

Roll into balls and refrigerate for half an hour, then fry in hot oil until crispy. When cooled, pack into a Ziploc bag, along with a small tub of mayo for dipping.

Finland Riisipuuro, or rice pudding, is a traditional Finnish dish that’s super easy to make and, if packed in an airtight container, makes for a great lunchbox treat.

Cook a cup of rice in milk until it has a soft and creamy consistency (adding milk when needed), then add a small knob of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Top with some fresh or stewed mixed berries. Once cooled, pack into a small container, along with a spoon for a nutritious and filling treat.

Rugby tour / Rugbytoer

Swimming Gala How fortunate we are to have held our annual swimming gala – this year in our very own swimming pool. Die getroue, professionele afrigting wat die leerders weekliks ontvang, het verseker vrugte afgewerp en die leerders het pragtig geswem.

Ons u/9 Rugbyspanne het van 7 tot 9 April ‘n toer meegemaak na Hartenbos & Outshoorn.

Beautiful rugby was played and results obtained once again made us proud to be Durbies! 27 Matches were played, 19 of which were won, 4 matches had an equal score and only 4 matches were lost. The learners were treaded to a guided tour in the Cango Caves, met closeup with reptiles and other mammals at the Cango Wildlife Ranch, visited an ostrich farm, and even enjoyed rowing boats and camelback rides at Wilgewandel. ‘n Totaal van 60 leerders en 8 afrigters het hierdie onvergeetlike toer meegemaak.

Graad R-grasprojek Wat ‘n voorreg om te kan deel dat 152m2 se kunsgras by die Durbanville Pre-primêr gelê is met die hulp van ‘n fondsinsameling wat deur ons Graad R-ouers gehou is. Ons is voorwaar trots op ons ouers wat in so ‘n kort rukkie soveel vermag het!

Knysna Girls’ hockey tour 2016 The u/14A and B Girls’ hockey teams of Eversdal Primary School had a very successful tour from 17 to 20 March 2016. They took part in the annual u/14 Girls’ Hockey festival at Backward Point in Knysna. The u/14A team did exceptionally well by finishing the tournament as undefeated after 11 matches. The u/14B team also excelled by drawing their match against Gene Louw’s A team over the weekend.

013A en B Rugby Die o13 A en B, asook die o11 A rugby-spanne het tydens die onlangse skoolvakansie na Grey Kollege in Bloemfontein getoer. Dit is die hoogtepunt van hierdie spanne se rugbyjaar en hulle het dit weer eens, soos alle vorige jare, vreeslik geniet!

Suksesvolle mini-krieketdag

Ouervereniging begin jaar met suksesvolle wakkerbly

Op Saterdag, 5 Maart, het 12 skole aan LS Bellville-Noord se heel eerste o.9 mini-krieketdag deelgeneem. Elke span het drie wedstryde gespeel. ‘n Ligte reënbui tydens die laaste rondte is met glimlagte aanvaar en dit was vir die kinders net te lekker om in die reën te speel. ‘n Groot hoeveelheid ouers het hul kinders kom ondersteun en die spelers is die hele dag positief aangemoedig. BN se ouervereniging het heerlike eetgoed verkoop terwyl die afrigters ook spesiaal onthaal is. Die skole wat deelgeneem het was: LS Aristea, LS Bellville-Noord (twee spanne), LS Bellpark, Boston Primary, Eikendal Primêr, Holy Cross RCS (twee spanne), LS Labiance, Litha Primêr, LS Mikro, LS Parow-Wes, LS Ruyterwacht en LS Wolraad Woltemade.

Albei Bellville-Noord se spanne het die dag onoorwonne afgesluit!

Vrydagnag, 21 Februarie, het die Ouervereniging hul jaar afgeskop deur meer as 90 graad 5-7 leerders wakker te hou (‘n paar het wel gesneuwel voor Klaasvakie se sandjies).

Deurnag was daar ‘n groot verskeidenheid aktiwiteite waarby die leerders kon inskakel as individu of in spanverband. So was daar ‘n talenten danskompetisie, ‘n netbal-en sokkertoernooi, twee flieks, verskeie groepspeletjies en ‘n

algemene vasvra-kompetisie. Daar was ook ‘n fliekhoekie vir die fotogenieses en ‘n deurnagsnoepie vir die hongeres. Net na middernag was die uiters gewilde skattejag weer aangebied, en hier het die leerders, volgens een van die toesighoudende ouers se “toep” (Afrikaans vir ‘n “app”), ongeveer 3 km afgelê soos hul in en om die skool moes stap om die verskillende antwoorde te soek.

LINKS: Arné Mulder (organiseerder/OV-voorsitter) tree op as skeidsregter terwyl JP Holtshayzen, Danelle Jonas en Anke Maritz deelneem aan een van die sokkerwedstryde.

Nog ‘n baie suksesvolle karnaval Dit is met groot dankbaarheid dat Bellpark se karnival die mooi bedrag van R116 000 bekend kan maak.

Bellpark wil graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak om elke leerder, ouer en veral ons borge te bedank vir ‘n baie suksesvolle karnaval. Die hoogtepunt van Bellpark se karnaval is die kaskarresies en die gemeenskap se besighede spring in om T-hemde vir elke klas te borg. Die kinders voel ongelooflik spesiaal en dra die T-hemde met trots.

It is very rare to capture a photo of the humble Mr Wentzel. He is the coordinator of Bellpark Primary’s very successful annual carnival.

Here he is sitting in the go-carts that were specially built for the High School Challenge, where teams could enter to see who could race the fastest three laps. The prize money was R1 000 for the winning teams! There were some very happy high school learners!

Daarna was alle aktiwiteite en stalletjies oop om aan deel te neem.

Die grootste trekpleister was die grilhuis en slange.

Die brawes het sommer paar keer ‘n draai daar gemaak.

Sodra die hongerpyne begin het, was dit tyd vir smul aan heerlike burgers, pannekoeke en iets soets.

Landsdiens 2016 In Maart 2016 het ‘n groep van ongeveer 85 Graad 1 tot 4 leerders die bussies gepak en met groot opgewondenheid na die kamparea by Apostle Battery in Llandudno vertrek.

Die kamp is deur mev. Mostert met die hulp van verskeie ander personeellede aangebied. Aktiwiteite waaraan leerders blootstelling gekry het, was onder andere handvaardigheidsoefeninge en verskeie landsdiensspeletjies. Daar is ook by geleentheid verskeie aktiwiteite binnenshuis behartig, onder andere die uitbeelding van liefde vir Landsdiens waartydens leerders in koerante en tydskrifte prente moes bymekaarmaak om sodoende hul liefde op ‘n plakkaat te kon uitbeeld.

See-ekologie, tesame met verskeie aktiwiteite, is op die strand aangebied en ‘n hoogtepunt vir baie was die bou van sandkastele. Vasvrakompetisies is na afloop van aanbiedings gehou om te verseker dat die leerders alle inligting

verstaan en interessant vind. Hierdeur kon kampaanbieders sien dat leerders hierdie kamp verseker genotvol en leersaam gevind het.

Die leerders het ook ‘n herwiningsprojek geloods om die strande in die area skoon te maak en met die materiaal wat versamel is, moes leerders ‘n seedier uitbeeld. Sekere groepe se uitbeeldings was vreemd, maar hierdie aktiwiteit het verseker die groepe se verbeelding tot ‘n ander vlak gedryf.

Die groep is ook geleentheid gegun om die geskiedkundige kanonne te besoek. Hierdie kanonne was destyds in wêreldoorloë gebruik en leerders kon die ammunisiekamers ondergronds besoek.

Die gange beskik oor geen beligting nie en vele vrae het ontstaan oor die geskiedkundighede.

Die groep leerders vind hierdie kampe waardevol en die Laerskool Brackenfell se landsdiensgroep groei teen ‘n ongelooflike tempo. Possumus, ja ons kan!!

They also held their first Service weekend for the year, from 4 to 6 March, where 108 rape kits were packed, which were donated to the Durbanville Police Station.

The learners also had a cancer awareness speech and then spent time making cancer awareness posters for the school. On the Saturday, more learners went to Huis

Ravenzicht to help with duties around the old age home.

On Sunday, 6 March senior Interact learners went to hand out medals at the Cape Town Cycle Tour. After a long day helping to hand out 34 000 medals, tired Interacters returned to Fairmont after a long weekend of service.

After collecting Easter eggs throughout the term, Interacters went to both Môrestêrretjie and TLC to host Easter egg hunts for the children and play games with them. It was a great way to end off a very busy first term.

While contact sports remain a cherished part of many schools’ sporting traditions, children participating in these kinds of sports do stand an increased chance of sustaining injuries. Rugby icon Jean de Villiers weighs in on the risks of contact sports in South Africa.

Affies Golf Challenge

VOOR: Nathan Smith en Willie Olivier (kaptein). AGTER: Liam Ladewig, Branham Kock, Jeandre Blom en Arno Mouton.

School contact sports and safety According to Jean de Villiers, the issue of head injuries in school sport should not be taken lightly. “Having played rugby for close on 30 years, I have only been concussed twice. Once was at school when I got a direct blow from a knee to the side of the head and the other as a professional when one of my teammates kicked me on the head by accident. In both cases I missed two weeks of rugby,” says De Villiers, who is now playing rugby for the Leicester Tigers in England.

Mark Arnold, Principal Officer of Resolution Health, says physical sports provide a healthy balance in school life, as they serve as an outlet for energy and the strenuous exercise

It has been estimated that the rate of traumatic brain injury in children younger than 16 is around 180 per 100 000, which equates to 0,18% and most of these are characterised as ‘mild’. When it comes to children, however, any concussion should be considered in a serious light as their brains are still developing.

There are a number of precautions that can be introduced in an attempt to make contact sports safer, but the interventions are not always unqualified successes. For example, some studies have suggested that when helmets are introduced as a protective measure in children’s contact sports, the chance of concussive injury actually increased because the children adopted more risky behaviour in their style of play.

Weighing in on the subject, Debbie Valentini, spokesperson for Zurreal says, “It should also be considered that healthy behaviours, such as regular exercise, are more likely to stick in adult life if they are introduced from a young age, and school sports play an important role in establishing fitness as a lasting lifestyle choice.

The best “The efforts of Boksmart in providing safety guidelines for school sport and injury management are to be welcomed, as these can certainly help to mitigate the risks that are a reality of physical sports. We encourage schools to implement pragmatic precautions, and urge parents to remain vigilant and demand that reasonable safety protocols are followed,” Valentini adds.

“I think that what is being done at the moment to prevent head injuries is fantastic, and the Boksmart system that helps with the treatment of such injuries immediately after they occur is a great starting point.

I also think the coaching of better tackling techniques can prevent injuries, as a poor technique resulted in my first concussion,” De Villiers concludes.

The best way to SUPPORT your child from only R270 p/m

can help many children to better focus on their studies.

“There are many positive life lessons to be learnt from team sports in particular; however, a number of those currently played in South African schools do hold the risk of injuries.

“While people participating in contact sports could suffer a wide range of injuries, head and spinal cord injuries are of particular concern because they can potentially have profound and lifelong consequences. While adults are able to make informed decisions about the risks they take when participating in contact sports, it is up to parents to weigh up the risk of serious injury with the benefits such sports may offer their children,” Arnold adds.
