PRINTED BY Paarl Coldset

Nothing brings strict teachers, lovely librarians, class clowns, and everyone on campus together like Movember.

Rallying around the moustache is a fantastic way to unite a university or school. The level of education doesn’t matter when it comes to having fun while raising funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

Moustaches are Movember. Thin and wispy or thick and full – the size of a Mo doesn’t matter as long it’s in accordance with the official rules: no beards or goatees.

•

HINTS & TIPS

•

•

GET TALKING

Start a conversation about the importance of men’s health by working it into a class project or

•

Spread the word of the Mo wherever possible to drum up support on campus. You could target your course email list, put posters up, post about Movember on Facebook or give a pre-class shout out.

Contact the sports team and the

other extra-circular associations to see if they want to join your team (or start their own).

Once you’ve built your team, keep the momentum going by finding prizes for the best Mo of the week.

If you can’t make it to the nearest official Movember Gala, host your own! Award the titles of Man of Movember and Miss Movember for your school.

Challenge your teacher to a Mo-off. The best Mo at the end of the month chooses the other’s costume at the Movember Party.

And remember … the Mo the merrier!

Treat yourself Who doesn’t love treating themselves to something new? Add some fun to your fitness by purchasing a new item of clothing, piece of kit or gadget that you just can’t wait to try.

Relive your childhood Remember how effortless staying active

used to be when you were a kid?

Happily, in the last few years gyms and health clubs have latched on to this concept and brought out a range of fitness classes that feel more like reliving your childhood games than working out.

Some such classes include hula hooping and ballet-inspired workouts.

Exercise to your favourite music To make your workouts more enjoyable, try putting together an exercise playlist of your favourite songs. Not only can music boost your mood, it is also a great way to boost your motivation and can provide distraction and entertainment while you exercise.

Change the venue To make your workouts more fun, try switching up the location. Make the most of sunny days: go hiking, go for a run through the local park or do a spot of yoga

Find an exercise you love While you might think that exercise is not something you would ever enjoy, this is probably because you haven’t tried the right type of exercise yet. With such a wide variety of sports, fitness classes and workouts available, there is bound to be something out there for all of us.

Look out for our summer holiday guide with lots to do and see in your area the first week of December.

ERTI SI

Make it social Playing sport or exercising with a friend is a great way to make your workout seem less like a chore. Encourage a friend to go with you on a run, attend a weekly fitness class with you or just accompany you on a lunchtime walk.

in your back garden. For lazy days, you could even do your workouts in front of the TV.

ER

Switch it up!

To help you stay motivated, try to exercise with a bit of variety. If you usually go for a long run each morning, try doing some interval training instead. Alternatively, shake things up entirely by swapping your run for a sports game or energetic dance class.

From all of us here at AWSUM, we would like to thank every school, teacher, parent, learner and advertiser for your continued and loyal support throughout 2014. We wish you a safe and relaxing break this festive season. We look forward to next year, and hope to continue adding a bit of AWSUM to your life.

No matter how much you love your favourite fitness class, exercise DVD or running route, doing the same thing over and over is bound to get boring after a while.

The school year will be coming to a close soon, and many junior school (and some high school) moms will have begun to look for teacher gifts. What sort of gift do you give the people you have entrusted your children to? It can be difficult to find a gift that truly shows how much you appreciate all that these individuals have done for you child.

I suggest using your creativity.

Break Out The Tissues, Nick Jonas Dishes On The “Necessary” JoBros Break Up Looks like the Jonas Brothers have no plans to reunite as a band and make new music any time soon…

In his latest interview with HungerTV, Nick Jonas — the JoBro, had this to say, when asked about the difficulty of leaving the band: “It was a real necessity to close that chapter in order to have a healthy relationship as a family. Things had become strained in a way. We made the decision to be a family first and to prioritise that. That meant closing the group but we knew it would be OK because we knew we would be strong as a family…”

While the break up of one of the greatest boy bands to ever exist in the history of ever is still a sad thought, at least Nick’s career has really taken off in recent months. He’s literally become a huge internet sensation, and although his chisele d muscles probably have something to do with that, his new solo music is still really, really good. “…I had this music in my heart that I wanted to write and I was just really fortunate to be able to do it,” said Nick about finally being able to focus on his own material for his upcoming, self-tit led album.

Gr.5 uitstappie na SANCCOB Gr. 6 ontwikkelingskamp by Bushpig Adventures

Zoë Terblanche en Roxy Campher oorhandig ‘n donasie van R1 100 wat die klas deur die jaar ingesamel het.

Ons graad 6-leerders het die eerste naweek van die nuwe kwartaal ‘n leierskapkamp bygewoon. Hulle was in spanne opgedeel en moes hulle eie naam en vlae vir hulle spanne maak. Tydens die kamp het die leerders mekaar beter leer ken en moes in hulle spanne verskillende spanbou atiwiteite aanpak.

Die leerders spandeer bietjie tyd saam met die pikkewyntjie, Francis.

Drama-tists excel After three years of studying Drama, Theodor Herzl High School’s 2014 class had a triumphant final Practical Examination in October.

Huge congratulations on their 93.3% class average!

COMPASSION IN ACTION

Theodor Herzl School’s focus on compassion has been put into meaningful action many times this year, with pupils from grades 000 to matric all reaching out to help others in one way or another.

Theodor High School’s Interact forum ended off their year recently with a very special outing to the Modecia Orphanage in Greenbushes. Together with the Service Forum, a substantial collection

of food, as well as much needed new shoes and an iron were handed over to Ma Beauty. The students spent the afternoon playing and having a party with the children, as well as decorating one of the walls with handprints and inspirational quotes. All of our members were so touched by Ma Beauty, an amazing woman who shows such love and dedication to all her children.

DF Malherbe Matriekdans

Hoërskool D.F. Malherbe het die jaar hul Matriekdans by die Radisson Blu Hotel in Somerstrand gehad. Dit was ‘n spoggerige funksie en elke matriek en hul metgesel het pragtig gelyk. Met die see en die sterre in die agtergrond het die aand vir baie van hulle verby gevlieg. ‘n Heerlike driegang- maaltyd wat van salm tot lam en vier verskillende poedings ingesluit het, het verseker gesorg vir ‘n heerlike kuier om die tafel. Die funksie het 18:00 begin en die ingang van die

Radisson Blu Hotel is versier met voertuie uit die geskiedenis, luukse voertuie en self ‘n paar golfkarretjies. Die matrieks het gekuier tot laat en die pragtige hoë hakskoene is sommer vinnig onder die tafels ingeskop om ‘n paar draaie te maak op die dansbaan. Die D.F matrieks het verseker die glansaand vreeslik geniet en elke oomblik gebruik om afskeid te neem. Ons beste wense vergesel die matrieks van 2014, julle was sowaar trotse Malherbiete.

Hoërskool Cillié Graad 12 kerkdiens

Matriekvaarwel 22 Oktober 2014

Beslis ‘n hoogtepunt vir ons graad 12’s van 2014. ‘n Kerkdiens by Hoërskool Cillié vir die graad 12-leerders met hul ouers.

Die doel was om aan God al die lof en eer te bring vir al die wonderlike seëninge die afgelope vyf jaar.

Dit was ook die geleentheid om ernstig oor te gaan in gebed voor die belangrike eindeksamen. Die gasprediker, Mev Cathy Bott. Haar eerste belangrike les was “Wat jy doen, doen jy vir jouself”.

Tweedens, haar hooftema was “Wat jy doen, doen dit goed!”

Baie dankie, Mev Bott, dat u so ‘n impak op elkeen kon maak.

U stem het vir twee dae nog in ons ore en harte weerklink. Soveel pragtige gebede deur ouers, wat ‘n geseënde samekoms.

Staatmaker van die jaar – Wesley Zeelie Gr12.

Sportman en vrou van die jaar – Tyler Rooi Gr11 en Cicely Erasmus Gr11.

Sondag 19 Oktober.

Matriekvaarwel

It’s hard to say goodbye at any time or any place. I don’t know how you say goodbye to whom and what you love. Ek glo al die hoogtepunte van jou graad 12 jaar sal jou altyd bybly. Soos ons na die einde toe gekom het, het die uitdagings al hoe groter geword.

Soveel belangrike besluite moes jy neem. Waar en wat gaan ek studeer? Of gaan ek werk? Voor jy egter daarby kom, moet jy nou fokus op jou eindeksamen en ‘n sukses daarvan maak. You still have mountains to climb, obstacles to overcome. You can never stop striving, life’s challenges won’t get easier – they’ll just become trickier. Ons dank God day Hy julle oor ons pad gebring het. – C. Syce
