DORP
VAN HOËRSKOOL BREDAS Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om ander te inspireer, asook om my bes te probeer om my matriekraad groep in die regte rigting te lei. Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Ek sal niks wil verander nie, ek sal slegs die leerders se deelname in sport en kultuur wil verbeter. Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Defnitief ons gees, asook ons uniekheid.
Wie is jou rolmodel? Albei my oumas, vir die sterk vroumense wat hulle is, asook die vrouens wie hulle in God is. As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Wonder Woman.To represent woman empowerment among all of us. Op ‘n normale Saterdag, sal ons jou kry by… saam met … Rustig by die huis, saam met my gesin en kêrel. Wie is jou Hollywood ‘celeb crush’? Chris Hemsworth
Matriek is jou laaste jaar- van ‘n akademiese oogpunt, wat sy graag wil bereik? Ek sal my 90% gemiddelde wil behaal, aangesien ek graag `n besigheids rigting na skool wil studeer.
Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Ek sien die meeste daarna uit om met my mede-leiers saam te werk en so ook ons skoolliggaam op te lig! Asook om suksesvolle take te verrig en om mense se harte aan te raak.
DORP
VAN HOËRSKOOL BREDAS
Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Die hoërskool bied baie geleenthede. Dit hang van jou self af om dit aan te vat. Wie is jou rolmodel? Elon Musk. Wat is jou planne vir na skool? Ek wil graag in die sagteware bedryf gaan studeer.
Wat sou jy sê is jou sterk- en swakpunte? Ek kan alleen staan. Ek is ook baie oopkop. Ek sal alles analiseer tot in die diepte voordat ek `n besluit neem. My swakpunt is dat ek in niemand se slegte boekies wil wees nie. Ek probeer altyd om almal gelukkig te hou.
Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Die feit dat ons skool nie te groot of té klein is nie. Ons is `n Hermie familie. Almal ken almal, maar ons is steeds groot genoeg om sport teen bekende skole te kan speel. Dit is die beste. Wie is jou Hollywood ‘celeb crush’? James Joseph Parsons. Sonder om twee keer te dink. Hy speel as Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory.

Matriek is jou laaste jaar- van ‘n akademiese oogpunt, wat sou jy graag wil bereik? Ek sal graag `n 90% gemiddeld wil bereik.
Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Ek geniet dit geweldig baie om nuwe verhoudinge op te bou. As `n leier by die skool is dit natuurlik makliker om dit te doen, want ek hoef nie redes uit te dink om met ander leerders `n geselsie aan te knoop nie.

Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Staan vas agter jou waardes en lei deur te luister.
Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om my vaardighede as `n leier te verbeter.
ZOË EYBERG HOOFDOGTER
As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? The Flash. Ek voel soms daar is nie genoeg ure in die dag nie maar as ek The Flash is, kan ek alles vinnig doen. Op ‘n normale Saterdag, sal ons jou kry by… saam met … Op die atletiekbaan, saam met die ander atlete.
Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Ons het `n uitstekende skool met die beste onderwysers en skoolhoof. Daar is omtrent niks wat hierdie skool nie kan doen nie! Maar alles het positiewe en negatiewe aspekte en daarom is die enigste ding wat ek graag sou wou verander, die deelname in sport. Ons is `n baie klein skool en kort elke persoon om deel te word van `n span, daarom wil ek meer mense motiveer om deel te word van hierdie ongelooflike span. Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Ons skool het `n ongelooflike familie gees. `n Mens voel altyd dadelik welkom en asof jy aan iets spesiaals behoort. Ek is mal oor hierdie eienskap
van ons skool en dat ek deel kan wees van hierdie familie. As jy `n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Ek sou Iron Man wou wees. Hy het nooit opgegee op sy drome nie en maak nie saak wat mense van hom gesê het nie, het hy altyd `n positiewe uitstraling gehad. Iron Man het ook baie mense gehelp en hulle daardeur ook hoop vir hulle eie drome en toekoms gegee. Boonop dit, kan hy vlieg en het die vryheid en mag gehad om enige iets te doen. Op `n normale Saterdag, sal ons jou kry by… saam met…? Op `n normale Saterdag sal jy my vind iewers in die middel van nêrens op `n avontuur saam met my beste vriende! Wie is jou Hollywood `celeb crush`? Chris Hemsworth.
Wie is jou Hollywood ‘celeb crush’? Alison Brie.

VAN HOËRSKOOL OVERBER
Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Om saam met die ander leiers te werk om ‘n voorbeeld te stel en die skool ‘n beter plek te verlaat as toe ons hier begin het. Wat sou jy sê is jou sterk- en swakpunte? Ons word soms “gelabel” volgens ons sterk- en swakpunte. Ek glo om sukses te behaal moet jy albei gebruik. Daar is dan nie meer sterk-/ swakpunte nie, net ‘n persoon wat sy eienskappe gebruik om te strewe na sukses. Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? ‘n Gebou self, maak nie die skool nie, dis die kinders en die onderwysers wat dit ‘n skool maak. Ek wil nie noodwendig aan die gebou verander nie, maar wil ‘n positiewe gesindheid by elke leerder skep.
Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Die gees en samehorigheid onder die leerders asook die goeie onderrig wat ons ontvang. Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Lewe jou goeie waardes, help waar jy kan en moet nooit hoogmoedig word of begin dink jy is beter as ander nie. Om verkies te word vir die VRL is ‘n voorreg, maar ook ‘n verantwoordelikheid. Mense kyk op na jou. Stel ‘n goeie voorbeeld. Wie is jou rolmodel? Ek het nie ‘n persoon as rolmodel nie, maar as ‘n Christen probeer ek om te lewe soos Jesus. Op ‘n normale Saterdag, sal ons jou kry by… saam met … Op ‘n normale Saterdag, sal ek gekry word op die rugbyveld of atletiekveld of op my fiets in die berge of agter die boeke.

HERMANUS PRIMARY SCHOOL ONLINE WOES SHOW Due to Covid 19, the school lost, as did many businesses, a considerable part of its income. Suddenly parents lost their jobs and could no longer afford to pay school fees. This was a problem, as quite a large portion of the staff is paid by the governing body. And like any business, the school is a business, with bills to pay and deadlines to meet. Mr. Niel Botha came up with the idea to make extra money for the school by taking part in an online Woes show. He gathered a few staff members and parents to help with the arrangements for the show. This show, hosted by Jaco van Dyk and Hamilton was a marvelous idea to raise in money for the school. Basically, we had to get well-known personalities such as Neels van Jaarsveld, Duane Vermeulen, Marais Erasmus and singer Lea to take part in the show and we had to gather prizes for the auctions and the lucky draws. Here our community was amazing and they supported us so much. A big shout out to them for their support! The show was hosted on the 6th of November and it was a great success! We raised R265 000 for the school and showed 2020 what team spirit can attain.
ODE CONCERT 2020 This concert is an ode to the learners, the ground staff, the assistants, the teachers, the governing body of the school and our principal, for helping us get through Covid 19 and all the uncertainties that came with it. We are survivors! 2020 arrived and the children had dreams and ideas and goals to reach. Then Covid came and they could not participate in sport, culture or Inter Schools. We did this concert, to give something to the Grade 7 learners, which they can remember from their last year in Primary School. The group who performed is not the school choir, but a group of Grade 7’s who would have performed in a musical this year. They performed 12 songs and we have chosen to share one particular song with you, as this highlights what we wanted to achieve‌and that is to conquer a difficult year. We give you: Conquest of Paradise.

VAN HOËRSKOOL HERMAN Wie is jou rolmodel? My ouers is my rolmodelle. Hulle was nog altyd daar vir my en ek kan altyd na hulle toe draai as tye moeilik raak. Wat is jou planne vir na skool? Ek wil na skool in my pa se voetspore volg en medies gaan swot. As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Superman, want volgens my is hy by verre die sterkste superhero met die mooiste hart en hy gee nooit op nie.
Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Daar is regtig niks wat ek sal wil verander nie. Ek is trots om in `n skool te wees wat verskriklik baie geleenthede aanbied en wat uitstekende onderwysers het. Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Ek sien baie daarna uit om verhoudings met my medeleiers te bou en om ‘n goeie voorbeeld te stel vir die res van die skool.
Wat sou jy sê is jou sterk- en swakpunte? Ek hou nie daarvan om sommer op te gee nie en is bereid om alle uitdagings aan te pak. Ek kan maklik na ander mense se idees en kritiserings luister. Ek kan ook maklik aanpas, maar ek is `n bietjie van ‘n ongeduldige persoon en wil goed dadelik gedoen kry.

Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Wat is daar om nie van te hou nie? Ek geniet al die geleenthede. Ek kan soveel groei as ‘n mens deur in al die verskillende aktiwiteite wat my skool aanbied, deel te neem; van ons band tot JTC. Elke aktiwiteit het my iets geleer wat ek sal koester vir die res van my lewe. Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? Alle oë is nou op ons om op te staan as leiers en voorbeelde te wees vir ander. Ek sal graag wil hê na matriek moet ons skool kan sê: “Onthou julle die prefekte van 2021, hulle was beslis een van ons
HOËRSKOOL
beste groepe nog ooit.” Ek wil hê ons moet goed doen wat ander groepe belowe het, maar nooit gedoen het nie. Ons kan, gaan en moet ‘n verskil maak in die skool en die lewens van ander leerders. As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Ek sal Super Woman wil wees, nie net bewys sy, dat nie net mans is sterk nie, maar ek sou oral oor die wêreld vlieg en elke week ‘n ander plek besoek.

FROM DE VILLIERS GRAAF What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader? I’m looking most forward to the challenges I will embrace to the best of my ability as well as everything new I will encounter as a new leader. Yet, most of all I will be looking to making mistakes, because that’s when you learn the most and I only want to better myself. What do you love the most about your school? I love how close the teachers are with all our students as they know all of
us by name in a way we all have our own uniqueness and the teachers just understand that. Who is your role model? Desmond Tutu, who I had the pleasure of meeting as I found him to be an outstanding example of character in a time of struggle and pain.

FROM SWELLENDAM HIGH
VAN HOËRSKOOL SWELLE Waarna sien jy die meeste uit tydens jou tydperk as leier by jou skool? Ek het geleer om elke oomblik te waardeer. Party dae jaag ons so dat ons skoon vergeet om ons voete te anker en rond te kyk, soos my pa eendag vir my gesê het: “onthou jy gaan nooit weer vandag beleef nie.” Ek sien so uit na al die nuwe eerstes wat ek saam met my mede matriekraadlede gaan ervaar, die graad 8’s se doop, interskole en vir elke kans wat ek gaan kry om met jong mense te werk wat ek nie andersins sou gehad het nie. Wat sou jy sê is jou sterk- en swakpunte? As die lewe nie een lang leerproses is nie, wat is dit dan? Een van my sterkpunte is definitief dat ek beheer kan neem van ‘n moeilike situasie en maklik kan aanpas. As ek ‘n geleentheid kry om oor iets te praat waaroor ek passievol is, sal ek dit met beide hande aangryp. Ander se opinies (oor my) beïnvloed my nie. Ek weet aan Wie ek behoort en Wie my gemaak het presies soos wat ek moet wees. ‘n Swakpunt van my is dat ek nie behoorlik kan funksioneer met te min slaap nie. Alhoewel ek perfeksionisties in my skoolwerk is, neig die ruimtes waarin ek leef telkemale tot chaos (interessante “verlore” items is al in my kaste gevind!) Wat geniet jy die meeste van jou skool? Dit is vir my een van die lekkerste gevoelens om saam met my span die hokkieveld op te draf.
Q & A with
Is daar enige iets wat jy graag sou verander by jou skool? Ek sal graag deur my voorbeeld wil wys hoe belangrik respek vir jou medemens is. Baie skoolliere voel hulle moet ander afbreek om beter oor hulself te voel. Skool moet egter juis ‘n veilige plek wees waar kinders nie bang hoef wees om hulsef te wees nie. Enige boodskap van aanmoediging vir jou mede-leiers? “Do it afraid.” Hierdie woorde van Lauren Daigle het by my vasgesteek. Ons gaan deur moeilike tye gaan (hierdie afgelope jaar is ‘n goeie voorbeeld daarvan), maar ons moet nooit toelaat dat vrees ons terughou nie. Dit is okay om nie okay te voel nie. Moenie dat moeilike tye jou afskrik om iets groots met jou lewe te doen nie. Wie is jou rolmodel? Definitief my ma, want nie net wil ek in haar voetspore volg as veearts nie, maar sy is een van die sterkste mense wat ek ken. Sy het my geleer om vas te staan in my geloof en ook om die lewe nie te ernstig op te neem nie.
What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader? I am looking forward to creating a sense of unity in our school and also looking forward to work with my fellow leaders and to do the best that we can. Is there anything you would like to change at your school? I would like to create a stronger bond between learners. What do you love the most about your school? Die ‘gees’ of our school is lively and easily lifts the mood of any down situation. Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for? I am aiming to do my best that I can, and to be accepted into a university of my choice.
SCHOOL
Who is your role model? Ryan Sandes, he is an endurance runner, he never gives up until he achieves what he set his mind to. What are your plans after matric in 2022? I would like to go work on the cruise ships and then study architecture. If you could be any superhero, who do you want to be and why? Thor, he is fearless and brave and does not back down from a challenge. On a regular Saturday, you will find me at…with… The gym with my trainer. Or on the hockey field with my team. Who is your Hollywood celeb crush? Olivia Dunne.
What will you message of encouragement be for your prefects/co-leaders? Remember there are other leaders around you, don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice. We are there to make each other stronger people.
As jy ‘n super-hero kon wees, wie sou dit wees en waarom? Ek is nie groot op super-hero’s nie, maar as ek enige super-power kon hê sou ek baie graag wou kon vlieg! Die gevoel van vryheid en om nie gebonde te wees aan ‘n spesifieke plek nie moet ongelooflik voel.
