PRO ARTE ALPHEN PARK (t) 012 460 6221 (e) info@proarte.co.za

PRO ARTE ALPHEN PARK HAS A NEW DEPUTY PRINCIPAL Mr Jacques du Rand is Pro Arte Alphen Park’s new Deputy Principal. This talented and dynamic man matriculated in 1983 at Witbank High School and completed a Higher Diploma in Education for Secondary Schools at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1988. He was appointed at The Glen High School in 1989 as a teacher and was promoted to Head of Department (Mathematics) in 2006.

Jacques completed his B Ed (Hons) with distinction at the end of 2012 and his M Ed at the end of 2014. He specialised in Educational Technology as he is keen to see digital technology being implemented and used in schools to a much greater extent than what is currently being done.

Jacques says: “I like a school that functions seamlessly where teachers and learners have a common goal. It gives me great satisfaction to produce well-mannered, well-groomed young men and women at the end of their 12 years at school. To see them going out into the world with a well-rounded education gives me hope for the future of this country. Young leaders, entrepreneurs and performers in their various fields are what is going to make the next twenty to thirty years exciting and worthwhile.

Schools that adopt technology and make it work for them have been able to bridge the digital divide that appears to exist between South Africa and other developed nations.

I need to stress that digital technology with tablets, e-books and interactive whiteboards is not going to replace the teacher; the teacher is going to be that

much more important to be able to facilitate the amount of information the children will be bombarded with. Being able to find information on the Internet is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg; the child also needs to decide what is important and what is irrelevant.

I would like to see Pro Arte Alphen Park become a leader in all spheres of academic and cultural life in Pretoria. I would like to see teachers who can use digital technology skilfully so as to enhance their specific subject knowledge. I would like to see learners who are proud to be at Pro Arte Alphen Park and who go on to do great things with their lives. It is always possible to dream, but it is important to realise that you need to work hard to fulfil those dreams.”

PRO ARTE ALPHEN PARK KRY NUWE ADJUNKHOOFCIPAL Jacques du Rand is Pro arte Alphen Park se nuwe Adjunkhoof en het in 1983 aan die Witbank High School gematrikuleer.

Hierdie dinamiese en talentvolle man het in 1988 ‘n Hoër Onderwys Diploma aan die Universiteit van die Witwatersrand verwerf.

In 1989, het Jacques ‘n onderwyspos by The Glen High School gekry en in 2006 is hy tot Departmentshoof van Wiskunde bevorder. Hy het sy B Ed (Hons) met onderskeiding aan die einde van 2012 behaal en sy M Ed aan die einde van 2014.

Jacques het in Opvoedkundige Tegnologie gespesialiseer, omdat hy wil toesien dat digitale tegnologie veel meer as tans in skole geïmplementeer en gebruik word.

Jacques sê: “Ek hou van ‘n skool wat op goed ge-oliede wiele loop, waar onderwysers en leerders ‘n gemeenskaplike doelwit nastreef. Dit verskaf my groot genot om goedgemanierde, goedversorgde jong mans en dames aan die einde van hul 12-jaarlange skoolloopbaan, die volwasse wêreld in te stuur. Dit gee my hoop vir die toekoms van ons land, om hulle met ‘n deeglike afgeronde opvoeding die wêreld te sien ingaan. Jong leiers, entrepreneurs en kunstenaars in hul onderskeie velde, is wat die volgende twintig tot dertig jaar opwindend en die moeite werd sal maak.

Skole wat tegnologie hul eie maak en ten volle benut sal die oëenskynlike digitale kloof wat tussen Suid-Afrika en ander ontwikkelde lande bestaan, oorbrug. Ek moet beklemtoon dat digitale tegnologie met tablette, e-boeke en interaktiewe witborde nie die onderwyser gaan vervang nie; die rol van die onderwyser gaan juis

belangriker wees om kinders in staat stel om die hordes inligting waarmee hul gebombardeer word, te fasiliteer. Om inligting op die internet te vind, is net die top van die spreekwoordelike ysberg; die kind moet ook bemagtig word om te besluit wat is belangrik en wat is nie noodsaaklik nie.

Ek sou graag wou sien dat Pro Arte Alphen Park die leier in alle sfere van die akademiese en kulturele lewe in Pretoria word. Ek wil onderwysers hê wat digitale tegnologie met groot vaardigheid kan gebruik om hul spesifieke vakkennis beter oor te dra. Ek wil leerders sien wat trots is om by Pro Arte Alphen Park te wees en wat groot dinge in hul lewens gaan bereik. Dit is altyd moontlik om te droom, maar dit is noodsaaklik om te besef dat jy hard moet werk om daardie drome te vervul.”

Brakes are not the sexiest part of the car, but one of the most crucial.

While driving merrily down the road at 120kph and suddenly need to stop, this could take up to 97m or the length of a rugby field and that’s if your brakes are well maintained.

We need to check our brakes regularly and this is done by from the most obvious, a warning light on a dash board, to other indications like taking longer to stop than normal, pulling to one side, a rumble or squealing sound. Most cars are fitted with disc brakes, a hydraulic system known as callipers which squeeze together a set of brake pads and this resulting friction slows the rotation of the disc and wheel.

The disc and pads. Fortunately checking the disc thickness is pretty easy and these should be at least 3mm thicker than the wear indicators. Between the callipers, you’ll see brake pads which should have at least 2mm of braking material on them, Anything thinner and you will need to attend to these. Look for deep grooves or pits on the disc, this will also affect

the effective braking distances.

Strange Sounds. Your mother always told you that load music was bad for your ears, well, this applies to brakes as well. Any rumbling, squeal, or grinding noise is not good and needs urgent attention.

Pulling to one side while driving or braking. This could be a stuck calliper, dirty brake fluid or simply badly maintained tyre pressure or tyres. Maybe uneven wheel alignment. Old brake fluid could allow air bubbles to form. Air is compressible, the brake fluid is not. Compress the air bubbles and nothing will happen at the calliper.

Brake Fluid Reservoir. Levels should be fairly constant. A drop could indicate a leak.

A ten minute break check could save your life.Supa Quick is able to check your brakes, analyse your tyres, see the resulting indications of worn shocks, brakes, wheel alignment, suspension problems and other general safety issues.

BRAAIDAG

KATEMBAPOTJIE (Uittreksel uit Demokratiese Republiek van Braai) In Suider-Afrika, veral in ons buurland Namibië, is daar die vreemde maar algemene gewoonte om rooiwyn en Coke te meng en dit dan vir plesier te drink. Jy noem hom ’n katemba en hy kom ook voor in ander lande met ’n soortgelyke klimaat aan Namibië, soos Spanje waar jy hom ’n kalimotxo noem. Jy dink dalk nie veel hiervan nie, maar die waarheid is dat dit ’n geurkombinasie is wat baie lekker werk, veral in ’n potjie met die vleis waarvoor Namibië bekend is – bees! Vir hierdie resep glo ek werk dikribskyf (chuck steak) die beste. Hy kom uit die voorkwart, so hy is vol smaak.

Sy tekstuur en die stukkies vet in die vleis maak ook dat hy goed vaar met so ’n lang, stadige prutproses. Koop sommer skywe by die supermark en ontbeen dit self.

WAT JY NODIG HET (VIR 6 MENSE) 1 sopie olyfolie 1,5 kg ontbeende dikribskyf (chuck steak, in blokkies gesny) 2 uie (opgekap) 2 huisies knoffel (opgekap) 1 sopie paprika 1 teelepel brandrissiepoeier 1 teelepel sout 1 teelepel swartpeper 2 tamaties (opgekap) 1 sopie tamatiepasta 1 koppie Coke 1 koppie rooiwyn vars brood (om mee te bedien) suurroom (opsioneel, om mee te bedien; ’n houer of koppie is meer as genoeg) varsgekapte kruie (vir garnering; basiliekruid, pietersielie, roketblare of koljander sal almal die ding doen)

LAAT WAAI !

1. Verhit die olie in ’n potjie en braai die helfte van die vleis vir ’n minuut of twee. Jy wil regtig net elke stukkie effens seël. Jy hoef nie die vleis te gaar te maak nie en jy hoef dit ook nie aan al die kante te seël nie.

Haal die vleis uit die potjie en herhaal die proses met die ander helfte.

Wanneer die tweede sarsie klaar is, kan jy al die vleis in ’n bak of bord sit en bedek, waar dit dan kan wag om later weer by die pot gegooi te word.

2. Roerbraai die uie in die potjie vir omtrent 4 minute totdat hulle sag raak en gooi dan die knoffel by. Uie neem langer as knoffel, so braai altyd eers die uie voordat jy die knoffel bygooi. Dit is algemene raad wat nie net op hierdie resep van toepassing is nie.

3. Voeg al die geseëlde beesvleisblokkies van stap 1 by. Gooi ook die paprika, brandrissiepoeier, sout en peper by. Wikkel die spulletjie vir ’n minuut lank rond.

4. Gooi nou die tamaties, tamatiepasta, Coke en rooiwyn by en roer dat hulle lekker meng. Sit die deksel op, kry aan die kook en laat dan prut oor lae hitte. Jy wil hê die pot moet net baie rustig prut.

5. Ideaal wil jy hom vir ’n uur rustig laat borrel – dan haal jy die deksel af en laat verder prut tot jy tevrede is dat die sous dik genoeg is. Dit kan solank as 30 minute neem, maar dalk korter. As jy haastig is, gee

die pot meer hitte van onder om vinniger te borrel en dat die vloeistof gouer wegkook.

6. Sodra jy tevrede is met die sous, haal die pot van die vuur af en laat hom staan vir ’n paar minute. Bedien met stukke vars brood wat jy op die vuur gerooster het en lepels suurroom.

7. As daar dinge soos vars pietersielie, basiliekruid, roketblare of koljander in jou tuin groei, garneer daarmee. en ... Ek geniet ’n glas rooiwyn saam met die ete, maar natuurlik kan jy die potjie ook bedien met rooiwyn ... en Coke!

LES CULTIVÉS A LA CURRO 2015

There was an atmosphere of excitement in Curro Hazeldean at the beginning of August as the Curro students were preparing for the Les Cultivés a la Curro. The whimsical Cinderella coach and the colourful art exhibition in the school’s foyer set the tone for the fun week of culture.

The standard was very high and the participants enjoyed taking part. Everyone went to a lot of trouble to ensure that their items were well rounded off and well presented. A number of fellow pupils had hidden talents that we weren’t aware of!

The gala evening was a special event.

The hall was beautifully decorated and the participants put on an excellent show.

The excited audience enjoyed the dancing, singing, drama and instrumental pieces and showed their appreciation with loud clapping.

On behalf of all the participants I would like to thank all the teachers and parents who made the festival possible, especially Mrs Mills who made the culture week a huge success.

We are all looking forward to the next festival! Curro Hazeldean really does have talent!

FRINGE FACTS Did you know? Fringes originated from the Native American tribes who created garments with fringes to repel rainwater from soaking them as they rode across the prairies. Then in 1920 the Flapper Era made fringes an fashion icon with those famous fringed dance dresses. Finally the hippie era snapped up this fabulous fringe craze and made it their own. Now you can have fun with fringes!

HEALTH

Safe blood saves lives. Every day thousands of people would die if others did not donate their blood. By donating blood, you are giving a patient something money cannot buy.

BLOOD DONATION

(Source: South African National Blood Service, Health24.com)

A single blood donation can equal three gifts of life, as nearly every blood donation is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets.

•

The majority of transfusions are given to: Women who hemorrhage as a complication of pregnancy;Children with severe anemia; Accident victims; and surgical and cancer patients.

By donating blood you make a difference.

•

•

•

WHY IS THERE SUCH A DEMAND FOR DONOR BLOOD? The huge number of traffic accidents over the holidays creates a high demand for donor blood. Right? Wrong. the interesting thing is that traffic accidents have little impact on the demand for donor blood.

While there is only a slight increase in demand for donor blood over holidays, there is also a corresponding decrease in elective surgery during these times. So the demand for donated blood remains pretty steady all-year round. Blood usage in South Africa is more or less at a plateau, but slight increases are visible as the population increases.

WHO CAN DONATE BLOOD? Anyone who is over 17, weighs at least 50 kilograms and who has not donated blood in the preceding 56 days, who is healthy, not anemic, not on certain types of medication, or whose social behavior does not place them at an increased risk of transmitting the HI-virus or a hepatitis virus. People who have recently travelled to malaria areas are usually also excluded.

THE DONATION PROCESS Donating blood is a safe and simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes.

All needles are new, sterile, used only once and incinerated after use.

But many people are still uncertain as to exactly what happens when you donate blood.

This is how the actual donation process works: • You will complete a donor questionnaire that

• • •

includes your personal details; You will answer questions regarding your health and social behavior; You will undergo a one-on-one interview with a staff member following the questions you answered on the donor questionnaire; Your iron (hemoglobin) level will be checked and your blood pressure and pulse rate will be taken; During the donation process you will donate one unit of blood (480ml), which your body will quickly replace; and You will receive refreshments to aid in replacing lost fluid.

After donating, eat well and increase your fluid intake for the next four to six hours.

Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Also avoid strenuous physical exertion and lifting heavy objects with the arm used for making the donation for at least two hours afterwards.

WHERE YOU CAN DONATE BLOOD You’ve decided you want to donate blood, but you don’t know where to go. The South African National Blood Service can be contacted at www.sanbs.org.za or by phoning the toll free number 0800 11 9031 for a list of locations in your area.

SIX TOP EXCUSES FOR NOT DONATING BLOOD Here are the top six excuses people give for not being a blood donor.

• I am afraid of the needle. This is quite understandable, but after you make that first donation, you will wonder why you ever hesitated.

• Other people are giving enough blood.

Unfortunately, less than one percent of the population give blood, which means that the majority of South Africans do not donate and there is always a need to recruit donors.

• My blood isn’t the right type. Regular donations of all blood types are needed.

• I had an illness. Discuss this with the trained clinic staff who will give you the right advice.

•

• I don’t have enough blood to spare.; The average adult body contains approximately five litres of blood and a donation is only 480ml.

It will hurt and I will faint. A slight pinch on the inside of your arm is all that you will feel and if you have had something substantial to eat in the four hours prior to donating, you should be fine.

TOP 10 BLOOD FACTS You hardly ever see your blood, yet it is the very thing that keeps you going. Here are some interesting facts on blood: The average adult man has about five to six litres of blood in his body, while the average woman has about four. Your blood makes up about 7% of your total body weight. About 95% of the body’s blood cells are made in bone marrow.

There are approximately 1 billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. There are three types of blood cells: Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, all of which float around in plasma. The blood that you donate can be separated into these constituent parts.

Your body usually replaces the volume of the blood you donate within 24 hours. Restoring red blood cell levels to normal can take up to two months though.

Whole blood has a shelf-life of 35 days. Red blood cells last 42 days, platelets only five days and plasma up to one year.

The most common blood type is O positive, while AB negative is the rarest. People with AB blood can receive any kind of blood from a donor, while O negative blood can be given to anyone.

Scientists recently managed to change type A and B blood into type O. If this process can one day be done on a large scale, it would go a long way to alleviating the persistent shortage of blood. If you are healthy, you will be eligible to donate blood up to 330 times in your life.

NUWE KLOFIE LEIERS VIR 2016

Maandag 7 September 2015: Die nuwe hoofleiers van Hoërskool Waterkloof is die naweek aangewys.

Janu Buys en Elana Marais is tydens die leierskamp eenparig tot hoofseun en hoofdogter vir 2016 verkies.

Albei leerders is gebore en getoë Pretorianers en is passievol oor hul skool. Beide wil graag ‘n blywende verskil in die lewens van elke Klofie maak en die skool inspireer om as ‘n eenheid ‘n bydrae tot die samelewing waarin hulle funksioneer, te maak.

Benewens hulle vol akademiese en buitemuurse programme waaronder redenaars, debat, hokkie, waterhokkie, atletiek en skaak tel, is dié twee leerders ook volbloed Suid-Afrikaners wat hou van braaivleis en rolmodelle soos Rolene Strauss en Nelson Mandela aanhang.

Elana hou daarvan om in haar vrye tyd te verf, kitaar te speel en te dans - ‘n liefde wat sy met Janu deel.

Haar gunstelingboek is The Hunger Games en enige fliek met ‘n goeie storielyn of animasie trek haar aan.

Sy luister graag na enige musiek, maar Taylor Swift en Megan Trainer is twee van haar gunstelingkunstenaars.

Janu lees graag avontuur-fiksie en speel klavier wanneer hy nie met skoolwerk of sport besig is nie.

Sy gunstelingboek is The Great Gatsby en hy was meegevoer deur die fliek, The Gladiator. Jeremy Loops is sy gunstelingsanger en hy geniet koffie, selfs as ‘n melkskommel.

Janu glo in wonderwerke omdat hy as klein seuntjie baie erge brandwonde aan sy hande opgedoen het en die dokters daarvan oortuig was dat hy na erge senuweeskade nie weer die volle gebruik daarvan sou herwin nie. Danksy die gebede van vele gelowiges dartel sy hande vandag sonder enige moeite oor die klavierklawers.

Elana beken dat sy somtyds ongeduldig kan wees, maar dat sy vriendelik is en probeer om soveel as moontlik vir ander te doen. Janu se beste eienskap is sy positiwiteit in alle omstandighede, maar hy reken dat sy manier om mense reg te help, hom al dikwels in die pekel laat beland het.

Dié twee leerders neem die leisels by Mericia Els en Stedman Gans oor.

VROLIKE FLESSE

Die somer is hier en buitelug-onthaal is (uiteindelik) aan die orde van die dag. Probeer gerus hierdie oulike idee wanneer jy vir jou gaste (of die kinders) iets soet en speels wil voorsit.

JY BENODIG: • Glasflesse • Gom • ‘n plastiekdiertjie • Spuitverf (wenk: wat van wit, goud of silwer vir die grootmense?)

• Lekkers of speelgoed om die flesse te vul

WAT OM TE DOEN: • Verwyder enige papier of gom wat dalk op die fles is • Plak die plastiekdiertjie op die deksel vas • Wanneer dit droog is, spuit die deksel en diertjie met spuitverf. Laat dit dan goed droog word en herhaal nog twee keer.

• Vul jou flesse en voila!

HIGH TEA

Glenstantia Primary School hosted their annual High Tea on Friday, 11 September 2015, for interested Grade 6 and 7 girls.

The theme was Blossoming into Beauty where guest speakers discussed inner and outer beauty. The girls were also taught a few basic tips on how to be a lady.

CELEBRATED ARBOUR WEEK We celebrated Arbour Week from 1 - 5 September and each Grade planted a special Iceberg Rose Bush. Mr Pretorius (Principal) was on hand to assist.

SPRING DAY

Our Spring Day celebrations on 1 September boasted some innovative civvies day ideas from the learners. Like Yanula Elenis (Grade RDD) on the right who was dressed like a bee.

On Spring Day, 1 September, 2 little doves were born in Mrs Bhatt’s (Grade 1 C) Class.

They had set up nest during the building of the new classroom block. As the learners were thrilled to have them in their classroom, they were not disturbed.

PRETORIA BOYS HIGH SCHOOL (t) 012 460 2246 (e) info@boyshigh.com

A HALL FOR ONE AND ALL More than ten years ago, the Pretoria Boys High School’s Governing Body and Executive had a dream. This dream included a state-of-the-art school hall, library and facilities for the music department. A fundraising campaign was launched in 2010 under the auspices of the Pretorian Trust and managed by the recently retired headmaster, Mr. Bill Schroder, targeting the alumni of PBHS. An amount of over R26 million was raised towards the building projects.

The first phase of construction was directed at converting the existing hall in such a way as to allow all staff and boys to be seated for assemblies and other functions. This was achieved through the addition of new east and west wings that extend into two of the quads and which feature tiered seating at both ground floor and upper floor levels. Further seating was also provided in an extended gallery section.

One of the main objectives was to have all boys seated in a manner that would allow them to have a clear view of the stage and this has been achieved in the design.

The architectural design for the conversion of the existing Abernethy Hall into a facility better suited to the needs of the school, had been undertaken with a view to preserving some of the key features, but at the same time increasing the seating capacity and greatly enhancing its flexibility.

The proscenium arch of the stage was unaltered as this design harks back to the first school hall. It was reincorporated into the existing hall (with the original badge) when the present hall was constructed in the 1960s. The current design also retains much of the original structure and layout, including a gallery.

The east and west wings, both double-storey, are entirely new structures and allow for the addition of over five hundred additional seats. Each section of the two wings lends itself to be used as a team-teaching venue. The ground-level sections of these wings have the facility to open up onto the adjacent quads and with the seating reversed would make them part of those two open-air venues.

On Friday 24th July 2015, the official opening and rededication of the Abernethy Hall was held. Boys, staff and guests enjoyed an audio-visual presentation showing the hall from 1909 till the present day. The unveiling of the foundation stone was done by Mr. Rundle Chairman of the Old Boys Association and speeches were made by the Headmaster Mr. Reeler, Head Boy Mashao Mukhari and Second Master Mr. Illsley. Canon O’Brien lead the devotional side of the assembly and to end proceedings

the choir and orchestra performed a song especially written for the occasion by Mr. L Reyburn called Brothers let us Rise!
