Matriek ... en die jaar daarná Dit is deesdae mode om jou kind ná matriek een “af” jaar te gun – om ’n jaar lank oorsee te gaan werk, of om bloot ’n klompie los werkies te doen ... of om sommer net leeg te lê. Is dit die regte ding om te doen? Baat jou kind daarby?

My kind is vanjaar in matriek en hy het geen idee watter beroep hy wil volg nie. Hy is goed in tale én in wiskunde en wetenskap.

Hy is verslaaf daaraan om dinge op rekenaars te doen, maar wil dit nie noodwendig sy beroep maak nie. Dink hy aan joernalistiek? Miskien.

Om aktuaris te word?

Miskien.

Dit is vir my ’n reuseprobleem. Ek wil nie hê hy moet ten alle koste universi-teit toe gaan en dan – soos ek – ná die eerste jaar besluit dat hy eintlik ’n ander rigting wil volg nie.

Maar ek het ook nie die geld om hom vir altyd te onderhou nie.

Wat staan my te doen?

As bogenoemde ook jóú dilemma is, sal jy presies weet waarvan ek praat. Ons almal wil hê ons kinders moet ’n besluit oor ’n loopbaan neem, maar terselfdertyd wil ons nie geld mors nie. Hulle moet verantwoordelik wees, maar ons wil hulle ook nie in ’n blik druk nie.

Wat Nou? Só dink die jonges Michael van Rensburg, vanjaar in matriek, se belangstellingsveld is baie wyd. “Ek voel nie ek is gereed om nou al ’n besluit te neem wat die res van my lewe gaan raak nie,” sê hy. “Ek gaan dus volgende jaar ’n kort kursus doen ten einde nie-Engelssprekende

kinders oorsee te kan gaan Engels leer. Só sal ek te doen kry met die werklikheid van die beroepslewe, en terselfdertyd reis én geld verdien.

“Ek dink ek moet eers meer selfstandig en meer volwasse word voordat ek ’n finale besluit oor ’n loopbaan neem. Een jaar is maar kort in vergelyking met die sowat 40 jaar wat ’n mens gaan werk – en dalk sielsongelukkig gaan wees as gevolg van ’n verkeerde beroepskeuse,” sê Michael.

Anelda Scheepers het verlede jaar gematrikuleer.

“Ek het argitektuur gaan swot, maar binne die eerste ses maande het ek besef dat ek ’n skewe prentjie van die beroep gehad het. Dit is nie wat ek wou doen nie,” sê sy. “Ek gaan hierdie jaar se studies voltooi, maar aanstaande jaar gaan ek met grafiese ontwerp-studies begin.

“Ek dink die ideaal is om ’n jaar lank ’n internskap te doen in die rigting waarin jy belangstel, sodat jy ’n realistiese prentjie kan vorm van dit wat dié beroep werklik behels,” sê Anelda.

Só sê die kenner Andrea Silber, ’n beroepsvoorligter in Benoni, reken dat daar verskeie faktore is wat in ag geneem moet word wanneer iemand besluit of hy of sy dadelik moet gaan studeer, of om liefs eers ’n sogenaamde “gap”-jaar te neem.

“Sommige mense het van jongs af reeds ’n passie vir ’n sekere rigting. Hulle is as ’t ware ‘gebore’ vir ’n bepaalde beroep.”

Wat staan onseker ouers en hulle twyfelende kind te doen?

Andrea sê: “Ongelukkig is ’n blote aanlegtoets nie genoeg nie. Jy moet ook iemand se persoonlikheid in ag neem by die keuse van ’n beroep.

En baie ouers oefen – dalk onbewustelik – druk uit op ’n kind om ’n sekere rigting te volg.”

Andrea is daarvan oortuig dat ’n “gap”-jaar die aangewese weg is om te volg as ’n kind nie doodseker is watter rigting hy of sy wil inslaan nie. “Dit is egter noodsaaklik,” sê sy, “dat ’n jongmens nie ’n jaar lank níks moet doen nie. Ek hou baie van die idee dat jongmense ’n jaar lank werk – énige werk – en sodoende geld verdien om tot hulle uiteindelike studies by te dra.

“Om oorsee te gaan, maak só ’n jongmens selfstandig. Jy het nie vir Ma of Pa byderhand om jou ‘gou-gou’ te kan help nie. Jy moet sélf jou weg vind, en dan in ’n vreemde omgewing. Dít laat jou gou grootword. Om oorsee te gaan werk, is egter nie vir almal beskore nie.

“Ek hou ook van die idee dat jy by ’n klompie verskillende plekke gaan werk en só te doene kry met verskillende

aspekte van die beroepslewe.

“Dit gebeur soms dat mense in hulle dertigs en selfs veertigs by my kom aanklop omdat hulle ongelukkig is in hulle gekose beroep. Maak dus liewer seker dat jou kind gereed is om ’n besluit oor sy of haar beroepstoekoms te neem – dit is een van die belangrikste besluite in ’n mens se lewe.

“Jy gaan vier of meer dekades lank werk, en die meeste van jou tyd by die werk deurbring. Daarom is dit belangrik dat jy daar gelukkig moet wees,” sê Andrea.

HTS Bellville

FOOTBALL IS AWSUM! We participated in the prestigious Northern Zone Football Tournament during the first week of the June holidays, and what an experience it was! Our Boys u.17 team was motivated and ready to take on all-comers but encountered some stiff opposition in the round-robin phase, achieving one draw and playing in two exhilarating matches in which they lost by the narrowest of margins.

They were true heroes in their attempts to achieve what has never been achieved before. Well done boys. We are really proud of you! The Boys u.15 team came off a little better and reached the semifinals where they had to face Excelsior High School. Our boys played a superb game and provided exciting and skilful football. Excelsior had to dig really deep to come out victors at 2-1. Our boys

were true gladiators and we are proud of their commitment and endeavour! The cherry-on-top was our girls’ team. They reached the 3rd and 4th play-offs where they gave Bernadino Heights a 4-1 drubbing and won the bronze medal – a first for our school at this tournament.

Our girls were absolutely magnificent and showed fervour, skill, power and pace. They were true Amazons. To crown it all, Jasmaine De Wet received a trophy for being best female player in the Tournament and Carryn Goodman received a special mention for scoring the second highest number of goals in the tournament – a fantastic 11! All of our teams have held our school’s name high and we are proud of their achievements.

We can’t wait for the league matches.

Hope to see you there!

Netball During 2013 HTS Bellville Netball played interschools against Laborie High School and lost the match. The one HTS coach, ms.

Our girls played well and HTS won the match 29-28 against Laborie. Well done HTS Bellville u/17 netball team!!

Hoërskool Stellenberg 8 AUGUST 2014 Eerste Netbalspan

Die eerste span, wat uit 9 speelsters bestaan het, het vanaf 1 – 2 Augustus in Boksburg aan die Topskole-toernooi gaan deelneem. Om vir hierdie kompetisie te kwalifiseer , moes hul teen die topskole in die Westelike Provinsie en daarna teen die topskole van Boland en SWD uitspeel. 21 topskole landwyd het aan die kompetisie deelgeneem. Die spanne is in 4 afdelings ingedeel. Stellenberg het al hul wedstryde in hulle afdeling gewen: Potchefstroom Gimnasium (33 – 18), Waterkloof (24 – 22), NoordKaap (32 – 15) en Warmbad (37 – 11).

In die kwarteindronde het ons teen sterk kompetisie te staan gekom naamlik; Ben Vorster. Dit was ‘n titaniese stryd wat Stellenberg 30 – 24 gewen het. Ons het toe in die halfeindstryd teen die gedugte span van Affies gespeel. Affies, wat ook die wenners by Wildeklawer-toernooi was

waar Stellenberg tweede geëindig het, was net te sterk. Ons verloor die wedstryd 39 – 20 en moes toe teen Menlopark uitspeel vir die derde plek.

Ons wen Menlopark oortuigend 33 – 26 en eindig algeheel derde landwyd. Volgens die afrigter, mev. Joana Winterbach, was die speelsters wat deurgaans uitgestaan het met spel uit die boonste rakke, die ervare verdedigende spelers, Mieke Brink, wat ook by Wildeklawer aangewys is as die verdediger van die toernooi en die hulpverdediger Elmarie Swanepoel. Ook die doel, Cindi Pretorius, en hulpdoel, Nicole Taljaard, het nie die span teleurgestel met hul goeie doelwerk asook goeie spel nie. Ongelukkig is die span se hoofdoel, Danelle Lochner, reeds tydens die eerste wedstryd beseer en was vir die res van die toernooi buit aksie.
