Chad le Clos Olympic, World and Commonwealth Champion Swimmer

South Africa’s most decorated Olympic medallist, Chad le Clos, recently smashed his own 100m butterfly record for the second time.

This born-and-bred Durbanite also recently moved to Cape Town, where he is establishing the Chad le Clos Swimming Academy.

AWSUMCelebrity Interview Q You have said before that Cape Town was your favourite city. You now live in Cape Town. Are you living the dream?

A I am so happy to live in Cape Town. It is an unbelievable change from Durban, although it was hard to leave my family behind. I love seeing the ocean and the majestic sunsets from my apartment in Sea Point. I’ve been wanting to move to Cape Town for a long time, but the Olympics delayed things a bit. There are great training facilities around here.

Stellenbosch is by far the best, but a little far, so I swam in the Sea Point pool until it became too cold.

A I went into the 2016 Rio Olympic Games with a lot more pressure on myself than the 2012 London ones when I was a reasonably unknown swimmer on the international circuit.

In 2016 the expectations were higher but in saying this – the competition and the challenge of very talented swimmers was far higher and made it even more exciting. Of course, I didn’t quite get the result I was looking for missing out on a medal in the 200m fly – but I’ve bounced back from this and already have my sights set on this event at the next Olympics in Tokyo!

Q You are establishing an elite swimming academy at Jan van Riebeeck High School in Cape Town, in the slopes of Table Mountain. How did that come about?

A I finally have the opportunity to create something that I always wanted. This will be a legacy for my family name and help youngsters come through. It would be so amazing if in 10 or 20 years’ time, someone would say ‘Chad helped me reach the Olympics’, or ‘Chad helped me reach a goal’. This is my biggest inspiration in creating this academy. The academy will open in September and although it is an elite academy, it will be grown from grassroots levels, giving opportunities to our youngsters.

Q What has happened for you since the last Olympics, when you did not clinch gold again?

A Well, I was obviously disappointed to not win gold at the Rio Olympics, but champs have to respond. The next four years are more important than the past four years, and I am by no means easing off. I now have a great platform from which to bounce back and win gold in Tokyo in 2020.

Q The 100m butterfly saw you tie for silver with Michael Phelps and László Cseh. You had a good laugh on the podium – what was that about?

A The 100m fly silver was great – to be in a three-way tie and stand alongside Phelps and Cseh on the podium was an amazing feeling. When we stepped up to the podium, I suggested we hold hands for a picture, but there was quite delay, so we held hands for quite a while and I joked to Phelps that Nicole (Phelps’ wife) was going to start getting jealous, hence the laughing.

A Nothing particular – usually some pasta and protein. It depends on what I feel like, so I might eat a bit of everything.

I have a small circle of close friends. I love to play poker with my friends!

Beans, Beans More Beans!!

Two of my favourite comfort ingredients have to be beans and chorizo – green beans, red beans, butter beans, white beans, sugar beans, snake beans, soya beans, fava beans – any beans, just as long as they are beans. Beans are incredibly healthy and should be included in your diet, they make delicious patés, stews, soups and patties. Add chorizo and you have a match made in heaven.

Beans are legumes. There are three stages of development in a bean’s life and the maturity of the bean is what determines how the bean is used.

The first stage is when the bean is young and immature and the whole bean is very young and tender and the whole bean can be eaten either raw or cooked – I love them both ways, especially when they are straight out of my garden. The next stage of the bean’s life is when it is a teenager – it is a little more mature and the pod is tough, but the bean inside can be removed from the pod, and just like peas, they can be cooked for a short period of time and eaten.

The third and last stage is when the pod and beans have dried completely. The beans can

Let’s Cook!!

• Remove from oven and let cool before peeling off the skin of the red pepper and cut into strips.

Leave the tomatoes as is.

be removed and stored for long periods of time and cooked when needed. I love dried beans and they are real comfort food for me whichever way I cook them. You can soak and cook them from scratch or you can use them from a can where all the hard work has already been done for you (no shame in that) and all the nutrition is still there.

I know someone who like me enjoys beans and Chorizo: J’Something, who can cook like a dream, adds a splash of something fabulous to his recipe for Three-Bean Chorizo Stew. Let’s cook this together.

I’m mental ... for a lentil !!!

@jennymorrischef

Let’s Cook!!

Smokey Lentil Cottage Pie Serves 6

INGREDIENTS • 2 large butternuts to roast • 2 large aubergines • 2 tbsp olive oil • 2 red onions, chopped • ½ cup Milk Stout • 1 tsp ground coriander • 2 tbsp tomato purée • 2 celery stalks, sliced • 1 bay leaf • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 2 carrots, cubed • 200g brown lentils • 350g mushrooms (of your

choice), cubed • 350ml mushroom stock (you can also use vegetable or beef) • ½ tsp ground cinnamon and some for sprinkling • 2 tbsp sesame seed oil (you can also use olive oil) • 1 tsp sea salt • 1 tsp ground black pepper.

• ¼ cup honey and 100ml for butternut • butternut seeds, saved from the roasted butternut

Love them or hate them, these legumes are here to stay.

They have been part of the human diet since aceramic Neolithic times, being one of the first crops domesticated in the Near East and archaeological evidence shows they were eaten 9 500 to 13 000 years ago.

Lentil colours range from yellow to red-orange to green, brown and black. They also vary in size, and are sold in many forms, with or without the skins, whole or split. Now you get red and brown Beluga, said to resemble Beluga caviar. Then there is the brown/Spanish pardina and the French green Puy lentils, which I adore. These are just a few that are available.

These babies have great nutritional properties like carbohydrates, sugar, dietary fibre, fat, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, folate, vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and lots more – if that is not a good reason to eat them, then I don’t know. I am crazy about the earthy, nutty flavour of this tiny legume.

Eating lentils can help to reduce blood cholesterol since they contains high levels of soluble fibre and they are low in fat, so this makes for one happy heart. There are so many ways that one can use them to cook with – they make wonderful salads and savoury dishes, they can be added to meat dishes, or just used as a vegetarian meal.

I tried this Smokey Lentil Cottage Pie from J’Something and I liked it!!!

METHOD • Pre-heat oven to 180 °C. • Roast the butternut until the skin is charred and the insides are soft. Allow to cool.

• Char the aubergine on an open gas flame (or under the grill) to give it a distinct smoky flavour, turning regularly.

• Remove aubergine from heat when done and allow to cool. Once the aubergine is cool, cut into cubes and sprinkle with salt.

• Leave for 20 minutes allowing the salt to draw out the bitter liquid. In a colander, rinse off the salt and set aside.

• In a large oiled pan add the bay leaf, coriander, garlic, onion, celery and carrots and fry for 5 minutes.

• Add the cubed aubergine and mushrooms and slowly add the Milk Stout as you stir.

• Add the tomato purée, stock, honey and lentils and season to taste.

• Simmer until lentils are cooked, but still have a bite. If you allow it to get too soft, it goes soupy. It takes about 30 minutes.

• Meanwhile, remove the butternut seeds from the cooled butternut and sprinkle with cinnamon and honey and set aside.

• Mash up the butternut and add sesame seed oil or olive oil. Add cinnamon and season to taste.

• Spoon the lentils into a baking dish, leaving the excess liquid behind in the pot, if necessary.

• Top the lentils with the mashed butternut and sprinkle with butternut seeds.

• Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

• Finish off by grilling the top until lightly crispy and golden. © Jenny Morris All rights reserved 2017

Winter’s first cold snap a reminder to do some home maintenance Chilly winter weather is well on its way, and it could be worth giving your home a little extra TLC now to help you save on any expensive repairs that might arise from harsh weather conditions.

Home maintenance is a bit like getting your car serviced: it’s sometimes difficult to afford, but if you attend regularly to the little things, you can avoid big costs in future.

Use these handy winter maintenance tips to keep your home in top shape and save you money in the long run.

The first cold snap of winter is a timely reminder that a little preventative winter maintenance could save you some money on expensive repairs.

Your preparations may differ, depending on where you live in the country. Capetonians will need to prepare more for wind and rain, while elsewhere very cold conditions can quickly run up the electricity bill.

While opinions vary about what comprises a good winter prep list, most experts agree that no matter whether you live in a summer or winter rainfall area, cold is the common seasonal denominator.

Check for drafts under doors, around window frames and other openings. While these may circulate cool air around the house in summer, they’ll let cold in and heat out during winter.

Fit strips under poorly sealed doors or make an under-doordraft stopper – one of those long material tubes filled with sand or something similar that you can use to keep out the cold.

According to some sustainability websites, sealing external doors can reduce warm air leakage by 12%.

Similarly check window seals and ensure panes are properly fitted. Replace the seals or putty if they aren’t.

Fitting a geyser blanket will also help reduce your electricity costs, as will insulating your roof. If you’re reasonably competent at DIY you may want to research or tackle these tasks yourself. If not, it’ll probably pay to get some competitive quotes and get some expert help.

Fireplaces are great for adding some ambiance and warmth to a cold room in winter, but before you light the first winter fire, check the chimney to make sure you don’t burn the house down.

Soot and other residue from fires can build up and block the chimney or catch alight. Birds can build nests in chimneys that haven’t been used for a while, so check for obstructions and other issues. If you are unsure about whether your chimney is sooted up or how to remove blockages, finding a chimney

sweep should be as easy as a Google search.

Obvious outside maintenance – particularly if you live in a winter-rainfall area – is cleaning your gutters. Not only are clogged gutters ineffective, but the weight of soggy leaves could break the gutter completely, resulting in a costly repair bill. Remember gutters are there for a reason: they prevent expensive foundation damage by keeping water away from your house.

While you have the ladder out, check the roof to see if any tiles are broken or missing or if there’s any other damage.

Perhaps less obvious but as important is making sure that strong winds don’t blow trees or other structures onto the house or damage things such as satellite dishes. Cut down rotten or dead trees and cut or prune branches near television aerials or dishes. Be sensible about your abilities as a DIY lumberjack. If it’s a large tree or branch, get some expert help.

You don’t want to be the person who fells the tree onto their own house or gets hurt or badly injured because you tried to save a few rand by doing it yourself.

Smaller, practical steps you can take are covering garden or stoep furniture that you won’t be using during winter, to avoid having to refurbish or replace it the next summer.

Not only can regular, common-sense maintenance save you money in the long run, but this and small improvements to your home can maintain or add to its value.

CALL AN EXPERT The task requires a dry sweep with specialised brushes, as soot is poisonous and flammable.

ROOF

TIME OF YEAR Before winter

BE AWARE Chimney cleaning is probably more important than you realise, because a build-up of soot can cause a chimney fire.

NB A chimney service will also include a check of the waterproofing where the flue exits the roof, and the cowl, which can cause a back draft if it’s not working correctly.

TIME OF YEAR Before the rainy season

CHECKS REQUIRED Year

CALL AN EXPERT Unless you are exceptionally handy, roof repairs will probably require a roof specialist.

LOOK OUT FOR Inspect for cracked tiles and damaged metal and vinyl flashing around skylights and chimneys.

Dark patches and peeling paint can indicate a water issue, which is important to solve if you want to avoid damp and mould.

WATERPROOFING

TIME OF YEAR

Yearly

Before the rainy season

Expansion and contraction causes the joints and seals of waterproofed areas to crack, so look out for fine cracks.

NB Mould build-up (especially on the shaded side of a roof) is a particular problem for slate roofs, as it can grow underneath the edgings of tiles, causing them to lift and allowing rainwater to penetrate.

GUTTERS

CHECKS REQUIRED

LOOK OUT FOR

NB How often you’ll need to repaint will depend on the climate where you live and the quality of paint used initially.

FIXES Cracks will need to be chipped out, filled, sealed and repaired.

LOOK OUT FOR Inspect for hairline cracks. Water can enter the cracks and start lifting the plaster or result in damp inside the house.

FIXES

NB

Homeowners should use a bitumen-based product to seal affected areas.

Drains on flat-roof balconies need to be checked once a month for blockages to ensure there isn’t a water build-up.

CHECKS REQUIRED

TIME OF YEAR

Twice yearly

Spring and autumn

LOOK OUT FOR

FIXES

REPLACEMENT

BE AWARE

Homeowners need to resolve blockages caused by a build- up of garden debris and dirt.

Use a hose to run water into the gutter to wash debris down the downpipe.

If you buy good quality gutters you should not have to replace them for up two decades.

Gutter metal is relatively soft, so beware of knocking the underside of gutters with ladders.

It’s a fair question for parents to consider: Why should my child learn to master the skills of spelling and handwriting in a world governed by spell checkers and keyboards? Isn’t the mere notion of teaching these skills as archaic as attempting to master trigonometry without the use of a scientific calculator? Edublox reading, maths and learning clinic investigates the importance of handwriting and spelling in the learning process and shares some tips on how to identify problems that children may be experiencing.

The importance of spelling and handwriting in a digital age Over the last 30 years, we have witnessed many technological changes in the educational landscape. Certain skills, like spelling correctly and being able to write legibly by hand, however, still remain universally relevant. Although various spell checkers and autocorrect functions may serve as proofing tools in order to communicate clearer messages, it should not deter children from learning the skills in the first place.

Pens and keyboards bring into play vastly different cognitive processes. Handwriting is a complex task that requires various skills – feeling the pen and paper, moving the writing implement, and directing movement by intent. Children take several years to master this precise motor exercise: you need to hold the scripting tool firmly while moving it in such a way as to leave a different mark for each letter.

If children do not master these skills, their spelling is likely to suffer as a result.

Handwriting errors can cause a word to look like another word, where slow, laboured writing of letters may cause a student to forget the word they are trying to write.

The skill of spelling embraces many subskills, such as the ability to perceive the whole in its individual parts, auditory perception of letter sounds and auditory memory, and decoding skills. Together, spelling and handwriting are important foundational skills in the learning process.

The problem with teaching spelling in a digital age is that good language and strong spelling skills have become optional in the way that we communicate on social media and through the various devices available to us. Search engines are also incredibly forgiving and simply suggests the correct spelling of search terms

Page 10

AWSUM NEWS JUNE 2017

without even prompting the user to consider where they went wrong. Traditionally, spelling does not allow any room for ‘creative’ answers or ‘style’ – a word is either spelled correctly or it is misspelled. It’s important that parents encourage their children to learn to spell correctly and to use spelling applications and emoticons as secondary tools in the communication process.

If parents notice that their children are struggling to spell despite an effort to do so without the help of digital tools, there might be underlying shortcomings that a reputable learning clinic can help to resolve. If the problems are caused by poor handwriting, which includes illegible or exceptionally slow writing, a child might be struggling with dysgraphia (a Greek term that encapsulates symptoms like trouble with pencil grip, mixing up cursive and print, and inconsistent spacing between words).

Ironically, there are many online programmes that are wonderful tools in a reputable learning clinic’s toolkit when it comes to reading and consequently spelling. Parents should look out for programmes that aim to resolve learning and spelling problems and not simply enable the child to manage them better. Search for something that is visually engaging and fun to work with and one that tracks progress so that parents are aware of the child’s improvement.

Proper spelling and neat handwriting have definitely not become outdated skills. Especially with the rise of the digital age, parents should pursue solutions if their children are struggling and to value these ‘manual’ skills – without it, we may see language take a back seat in years to come.

University application survival kit Prepare for success while saving time & stress

With university application season now in full swing for Matrics who want to pursue further studies next year, stress levels in homes across the country are rising as a result of the demanding administrative requirements associated with the process.

It can, however, be made significantly smoother and less onerous if learners take some time to put together an application survival kit before starting to complete their applications.

When applying for a place at a higher education institution – whether online or in hard copy, and whether at a public university or a private institution – there are a number of things you will need and can get ready before you even look at the application forms.

Learners should prepare hard copies and and electronic folder containing all the documents and information they are going to require, as well as keep a log to track applications and all the login credentials and passwords they will amass to application portals if they are applying to more than one institution.

Learners need to make it easy for an institution to accept them by ensuring their applications are complete.

Given limited spaces at universities and fierce competition for popular courses, it is of course imperative that learners keep their options open for next year, by applying to more than one institution and for more than one course. Putting all your eggs in one basket may mean that come 2018, you find that your marks just didn’t make the grade to ensure you get access into your first choice of course or institution, or that you just missed the cut for admission due to high demand for limited space.

But while it is highly advised to have a Plan B, C and even D in place, this means that you need to keep quite a few balls in the air during the application stage. Your application survival kit will help you not to drop them.

Once learners have prepared all their documents and information, they will be able to respond to application requirements in one sitting.

Additionally, you need to ensure that scanned copies of documents are as small as possible to ensure they are not rejected due to an institution’s mail server settings, so do not save them as image files. Also ensure that the names of all documents tie back to you, by including your name, ID number and descriptor of the document in the file name.

Most applications to reputable institutions will require the following: • A certified copy of your identity document. Ensure that in the scanned copy the document, the picture, certification stamp and writing are all very clear and easy to read.

• A certified copy of your Grade 11 school results as well as your April or

Prelim Matric results.

• Your NBT number or results or both.

• A certified copy of the fee payer’s identity document as well as proof of banking details and residence.

• A certified testimonial from a school or equivalent if you are applying for residence.

• Application letters, forms and portfolios for those programmes that require them.

• All your contact details – telephone numbers, residential and postal addresses, as well as a reliable mobile number and email address (consider using your parent or guardian’s details if you are not good at responding to texts and mails).

• All the contact details of your next of kin, parents, guardians or sponsors – you will need telephone and residential, postal and email details.

The application process can further be streamlined and made more manageable if learners also ensure that they: • Use easy-to-remember passwords and login details for online applications and keep records of all of them for each institution.

• Keep a record of reference numbers sent to them.

• Carefully track dates and requirements and keep to them, so that they don’t lose out on a place because they forgot, for instance, to pay the application fee.

• Complete the forms in absolute and correct detail, because mistakes can lead to them losing out on a place if it looks like they were trying to mislead the institution.

• Have all the information close at hand when filling in applications, so that they are not logged out while searching for something.

• Use the correct codes for courses as provided, so that there is no misunderstanding of exactly what is being applied for.

The higher education application process is a job in itself, and a matriculant’s first taste of the new responsibilities and challenges that will come after their school years.

It is a great opportunity to start taking responsibility for and control of one’s future, and can be an empowering adventure if tackled correctly. And, of course, most importantly, learners should start the process right now and ensure they have left their options open, and definitely not leave things until later in the year or even next year, when their chances of acceptance into a programme or institution will be significantly diminished.

Health & Wellbeing To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

Refusing to vaccinate children could fuel rise in antibioticresistant superbugs, experts warn.

The recent spike in measles cases in Gauteng and the Western Cape is as a direct result of a growing movement of parents refusing to vaccinate against the illness. Even though measles is caused by a virus, not vaccinating children in general is a reckless habit which could fuel a rise in antibiotic-resistant superbugs, warn experts.

Annemarie Blackmore, Pharma Dynamics’ Antimicrobials Portfolio Manager says vaccinating your child is paramount in the ongoing fight against antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

“Antibiotic resistance is when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control or kill bacterial growth and is exacerbated by the unnecessary and incorrect use of antibiotics. Vaccines have the potential to decrease disease, which can in turn reduce the need for antibiotic use,” remarks Blackmore.

Many parents remain particularly sceptical of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine, following a UK study that linked the vaccine to autism. It also sparked a wide debate on social media and raised a question around the safety of vaccines in general.

Blackmore says the study has since been proven fraudulent by an investigation published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), but the damaging effects remain, and as a result, many parents are in two minds about whether to vaccinate their children.

“Contrary to these mistaken beliefs, vaccines are and will continue to play a pivotal role, and even more so in the next two to three decades, in combating illnesses and anti-microbial resistance alike.”

South Africa is still some way off in meeting its immunisation targets, which given the alarming rise in not only diseases such as measles, but superbugs in recent years, has now become a top priority.

The total immunisation coverage in the country over the 2013/2014 period stood at 84.4% according to the district health barometer by the Health Systems Trust (an NPO with a focus on improving health systems in the country). The figure points to a drop in almost ten percentage points from the 94% coverage, which was recorded the year prior, indicating a significant decline in the overall administration of vaccines.

According to Blackmore, there is a 30-year void in the discovery of new types of antibiotics, with no registered classes of antibiotics having been discovered since 1984, which reaffirms the importance of using what precious antibiotics we do have, responsibly.

“Already AMR is estimated to kill more than 700 000 people globally per year. If not addressed, 10 million people are expected to die annually because of drug resistance by 2050.

“Everyone can and should play their part by vaccinating themselves and their loved ones against the diseases outlined in the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) expanded immunisation programme. To access this list, visit http://pharmadynamics.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/ VaccinatorsManualFinal.pdf,” urges Blackmore.

Measles is one of the most infectious diseases in the world and could cause brain damage, pneumonia and/or blindness. Look out for a high fever and flu-like symptoms. Two to three days in, tiny white spots may appear inside the mouth, followed by a rash, which usually starts out as tiny flat red spots on the face, neck, trunk and extremities. If you suspect your child has the measles, visit a GP or nearest clinic to you immediately.

Finance Top tips for raising financially smart kids

It’s seldom too early to start teaching children about money, but since most schools don’t formally teach young children financial principles, what are some of the lessons parents can share with their youngsters?

Type ‘teaching children about money’ into a search engine and most of the information you’ll find makes the point that it’s seldom too early to start.

From a much earlier age than most parents think possible, children have the capacity to soak up financial lessons such as understanding the value of things, saving towards something rather than immediate gratification and that money must be earned.

Games such as playing shop or even old-fashioned marbles, where the coloured glass balls are the currency, can teach children important financial lessons.

Unfortunately, other than the informal market of the playground where marbles or Stikeez substitute for money, most schools don’t formally teach young children ‘money’ or financial principles – it’s largely left up to parents.

you give them some money every time they want something, they may struggle to grasp the value of money and the basics of budgeting later in life.

Initially, pay children pocket money once a week. As they get older you can make this once a fortnight and later once a month. This will teach them to make it last.

What are the lessons you should be teaching your children?

Learn to save The accepted rule of thumb is that you should save 10% of what you earn. You can encourage younger children to put away some of their pocket money in a piggy bank each week. As they get older, open a bank account and suggest they try save some pocket money and also any additional income they may get, such as birthday money or income from part-time-jobs.

Do you need it?

Something that you can do early on is to help children differentiate between wants and needs. Trapped in the supermarket aisle of death leading to the tills, we’ve all seen children, or worse, experienced our own children, whining because parents won’t give in to incessant demands for sweets.

Rather than telling children you’re not buying them something ‘because we can’t afford it’, explain that you’re choosing not to spend your hard-earned money in that way. It’s even better if you can say why: ‘I’m saving some money so we can go to the movies together in the school holidays.’

Understand the value of money Games such as shop-shop, where children ‘buy’ differently priced items with loose change or even marbles are a good way of starting to teach young children the value of money. As they get a bit older you can take the lessons to the real world and ask them to help you do price comparisons between items in the supermarket. Explain why you make the choices you do. For example, it may seem more expensive to buy a larger bag of rice or potatoes, but it’s cheaper than buying two smaller bags.

Using price-comparison apps such as pricecheck or visit www.pricecheck.co.za to get older children involved in checking where you can get an item at the best price.

You control your pocket money There’s no hard-and-fast rule about when to start paying pocket money, but there seems to be a general consensus that about age six is a good time.

Pocket money is an important step in teaching children financial responsibility. If

Money is earned Building on the lesson about understanding the value of money, children must be taught that pocket money is earned, not given. They can earn it for doing household chores such as making their bed, tidying their room or feeding a family pet.

As they get older and receive more pocket money, so their responsibilities should increase.

Teach them money management Teach children to manage their money from the outset. If they want a toy, gadget or fashion accessory, explain how they will need to save for it, possibly sacrificing other treats.

Help them keep a record of earnings and expenditure in a book or on a spreadsheet. When you pay pocket money look at the previous month and explain what they did well or how they might have better spent or saved their money.

If they do want to buy a big-ticket item such as a bicycle or surfboard and you lend them the money, getting them to pay it back in instalments over a given period will teach them how to manage debt.

Let them learn lessons Suggest or advise, but do not dictate how your children should spend their money. Don’t be disappointed when they make mistakes. The biggest lesson they’ll learn is when they splurge on something and later realise that it was a waste of money. When they do, don’t bail them out. Let them make their own plan to supplement their income by doing more chores or getting a part-time job.

Teaching children about money and how to manage it are valuable life-lessons that they will be able to keep applying long after they’ve left home and have families of their own.

HOËRSKOOL WATERKLOOF (t) 012 347 0277/8 (e) admin@klofies.co.za Klofies help Jafta Mahlangu Secondary School Hoërskool Waterkloof is deur die Departement van Basiese Onderwys in Gauteng genader om met die voorbereiding van die Graad 12leerders van die Jafta Mahlangu Secondary School in Mamelodi vir die 2017-matriekeindeksamen behulpsaam te wees.

Dié hulp impliseer onderrig in Wiskunde, Wetenskap, Ekonomie en Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal met ‘n mikpunt van ten minste 40% gemiddeld in elkeen van die vakke vir dié leerders.

Hoërskool Waterkloof het dit as gemeenskapsontwikkelingsprojek aangeneem en so ‘n verskil in die lewens van die betrokke leerders, maar ook ‘n wesenlike bydrae tot die toekoms van die land, gemaak.

Junior Debatspan reg gebek Kulturele waardes behoort ‘n deurslaggewende rol te speel by die opstel van skoolreëls.

As voorstanders van dié onderwerp het Kloof se junior debatspan na ure se navorsing en onderhoude hulle debat in die eerste rondte van die ATKV-debatskompetisie teen Affies gewen. Op 26 Mei het die Klofies aan die semifinale rondte deelgeneem en na ‘n vurige debat teen Hoërskool Menlopark weer hulle debat gewen, waarna hulle algeheel 6de in Gauteng geëindig het.

Baie geluk aan Elani Smith, CileMari Schultz en Carla Dippenaar met hierdie uitsonderlike prestasie!

Klofie-Robotika raap eerste plek in Europa Die Klofie-Robotikaspan, die Imagineers, het die eerste plek in Project Research by die FFL Open European Championships in Europa behaal. Daar het 118 spanne van 50 lande aan die kompetisie deelgeneem.

Die Klofies wat deel van die span is, is Jana van Niekerk, Cassie Pelser, Christiaan Bauman, Franco van Vuuren, Dirk du Toit en Hanno van den Berg.

Danie Marais het ‘n tweede plek in die o.18seunsafdeling behaal.

Klofie–Menlo-derby ‘n reuse sukses Op 9 Januarie 1979 sien ‘n nuwe skool in die ooste van Pretoria die lig. Terwyl boumateriaal orals rondlê en masjiene nog aanhoudend dreun, open die skool vir die eerste keer in ‘n halfvoltooide saal met 215 Standerd 6- en Standerd 7-leerlinge, in hulle vorige skole se skooldrag geklee.

Reeds in 1979, met hierdie nederige begin, word daar besondere bande met Die Hoërskool Menlopark gesmee.

Hoërskool Waterkloof het atletiek in die veld beoefen en daar is op ‘n geskraapte ‘baan’ geoefen.

Interhuis, wat op 10 Februarie 1979 gehou is én atletiekoefeninge daarna, het egter op die baan van Die Hoërskool Menlopark plaasgevind.

Klofie-rugby het met 32 spelers in Standerd 6 en 7 begin. Al hierdie spelers is gebruik om ‘n o.15 A- en B-span in die D-liga in te skryf. Op 31 Maart is die eerste rugbywedstryde teen Die Hoërskool Menlopark gespeel. Die o.14’s het 32–4 verloor en die o.15’s het 20–0 teen Die Hoërskool Menlopark se

B-span gewen. Henk de Villiers het die eerste drie gedruk.

Vandag, 37 jaar later, is daar nog steeds sterk bande tussen Hoërskool Waterkloof en Die Hoërskool Menlopark, nie net op sportgebied nie, maar ook wat kultuur betref. Daar is wedersydse respek, agting en erkenning. Ons vier vandag die jarelange vriendskap en gesonde sportmangees.

In sy eerste koerantonderhoud het mnr. Davin, waarnemende hoof, gesê: ”Hoewel dit voorbarig sou wees om in hierdie stadium enige voorspellings te waag, is ek oortuig dat Hoërskool Waterkloof groot hoogtes kan bereik.”

Die nederige hoërskool in die ooste van Pretoria is wél besig om groot hoogtes te bereik, maar kan nie die geleentheid laat verbygaan om ander skole soos Die Hoërskool Menlopark, wat ‘n wesenlike bydrae tot die Klofies se geskiedenis gelewer het, te bedank nie. Ons vertrou dat dit wat ons in die verlede gevestig het, ook in die toekoms sal gedy.

Marni ‘n RTT-boffin!

Marni Kleingeld is een van slegs 14 finaliste wat op 4 en 6 Julie 2017 aan die Nasionale RTT-Olimpiade se finale rondte in Kaapstad gaan deelneem. Alle uitgawes vir dié kompetisie word deur die organiseerders geborg.

PRETORIA GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL (t) 012-4307341 (e) info@phsg.org.za Knysna relief charity drive One of the biggest school outreach projects in Pretoria that was driven by the schools in Pretoria for the schools of Knysna.

Five Pretoria schools participated in a humanitarian drive to bring hope to the schools in Knysna that was affected by the recent fires. The participating schools were Pretoria High School for Girls, Hoërskool Garsfontein, Hoërskool Uitsig, Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool and Constantiapark Primary School. These schools collected 39 tons of clothes, food, toys, electronics, and more. It took the schools a day and a half to sort and pack the donations. Concept Smoke Screen deserves a special mention, as they did several trips to Knysna and back to deliver donations.

The following schools in Knysna benefitted from the project as all of them were damaged by the fire: Knysna Montessori, Oakhill School and Knysna High.

Affiemeisies and Pretoria High School for Girls served as collection points where learners, teachers, parents and members of the community delivered the donations.

The collected items were washed, packed and sorted.

The goods was delivered to Knysna and the principals of the above-mentioned Knysna schools gathered at Oakhill School to receive the goods. They were in tears

Knysna relief donations.

and could not believe the goodwill of the Pretoria schools and community.

Flourish Oluwamakinde, head girls of PHSG, sent this message to the Knysna community: “The effects of the fire that has completely changed the lives of the people of Knysna has touched the hearts of the PHSG community. Numerous donations, from money to clothing, from toiletries to shoes, were made by learners, teachers, parents, Old Girls (alumni) and members of the PHSG community.

“It makes me proud to see the effort that so many learners made, even when helping to wash, sort and bring in donations in the space of three days. This truly goes to show that when a community of people come together, good things can happen to bring forth a world of change in someone else’s life.

“We sympathise with the people of Knysna and I know that as a community we will continue to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever we can. I hope this to be a life lesson, not just to the PHSG community but to everyone that we must always think of others in crisis and what they are going through in order to make the selfless act of caring.”

PHSG wins Blue Bulls Cheering Contest

PHSG learner helps host #chatNOU Learner Misha de Beer appeared on kykNET Channel 146 on 24 May. She did a fantastic job in assisting to present #chatNOU and represent our fantastic school!

The Blue Bulls offered several schools Blue Bulls tickets to their match against the Highlanders on Saturday, 27 May. Pretoria schools arrived to take place in the cheering contest in which learners cheered and chanted to win a visit from the Blue Bulls. The MC announced each school before the game started and squeals of delight were heard throughout the stadium when PHSG was announced the winners of the competition at the end of the match. A truly well-deserved win and some young ladies were even left without voices after they had given it their all to put PHSG on the map and make themselves heard. The Blue Bulls will be visiting the school early in the new term.

Art exhibition The Grade 12 Visual Art learners presented a site-specific art exhibition that dealt with current social issue this term. Each learner chose a social issue that they could relate to in some way. There was no limit to the media they were allowed to use, hence the large variety. The girls explored video, photography, wire work and painted on a large variety of surfaces from the tiles in the Art Centre bathroom to slices of wood and concrete blocks.

The artworks were installations that were set up in specific places that added to

the message of the artwork. The audience were invited to participate in the artworks and were guided into dark areas with whispering voices. They were also invited to burn their comments on judgements. Some of the issues the learners chose were water wastage, noise pollution, child suicide, and pollution.

The exhibition will be set up for the night of the proms music concert again.

Anyone attending this concert is invited to first walk through the art centre to experience the art and learners’ comments on current social issues.

HOËRSKOOL GARSFONTEIN(t) 012 998 6096/8200/8210 (e) garsies@garsies.co.za Skyfskiet Skyfskiet is ‘n buitemuurse aktiwiteit wat by die skool aangebied word, en dit word elke jaar net groter. Ons neem deel in Sporter-klas. In die Sporter-klas is daar twee tipes kompetisies, naamlik die gewone 10 meter (staan)- en dan die 3P (staan, kniel en lê)-kompetisies. Ons gebruik luggewere wat dieselfde patrone skiet as ‘n

windbuks. Ons span bestaan uit 12 uitstekende skuts en die sport word deur seuns en dogters beoefen. Ons het in die verlede provinsiale sowel as nasionale skuts opgelewer en onder leiding van ons afrigter, mnr. Johan de Vaal, werk ons skuts hard daaraan om hierdie jaar weer groot te gaan.

HEEL VOOR: Dean Pace, Wiehahn Marais. VOOR: Louis Lourens, mnr. Johan de Vaal, Lara Hirsch. MIDDEL: Donovan Raadts, Keagan Cullumbine, Henry Roux. AGTER: Emil Wonigkeit, Brendon Koekemoer, Kobus du Toit, Henno Steynberg.

Meisieskoor deur na ATKVApplous se Nasionale Finaal Na hul goue toekenning tydens die streeksfees is die Hoërskool Garsfontein Meisieskoor genooi na die nasionale finaal van die ATKV-Applouskompetisie wat plaasvind op 4 Augustus. Die finaal vind hierdie jaar in Pretoria plaas. Baie geluk, meisies.

Marcelle Nienaber se pad na CPL Marcelle Nienaber, ‘n oudGarsie en lid van die Garsie Vliegakademie, het in 2013 opslae gemaak toe sy op 15-jarige ouderdom haar solovlug suksesvol voltooi het en sodoende in die rekordboeke beland het as Suid-Afrika se jongste vrouevlieënier.

Marcelle het toe op 17-jarige ouderdom (Graad 11, 2014) haar Privaat Vlieënierlisensie (PPL) behaal.

In 2015 het Marcelle haar vliegkursus opsy geskuif om te fokus op haar matriekpunte en met vyf onderskeidings geslaag.

Sy het in 2016 weer met alle erns haar kommersiële (CPL) vliegvakke begin skryf en haar vliegure gebou, wat nodig was vir haar kommersiële lisensie.

Met baie deursettingsvermoë, harde werk en lang ure het Marcelle op 6 Junie 2017 haar Kommersiële Vlieglisensie (CPL) suksesvol voltooi op 20-jarige ouderdom, wat op sigself ‘n besonderse prestasie is om ‘n CPL op so ‘n jong ouderdom te behaal.

Haar droom is nou om kommersieël vir die lugrederye te begin vlieg nadat sy haar instrukteursgradering voltooi het. Ons wens haar veilige landings en vliegure toe.

Showing: From 23 June 2017 Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Jerrod Carmichael, Isabela Moner, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, Santiago Cabrera, Liam Garrigan, Stanley Tucci Director: Michael Bay Summary: ‘The Last Knight’ shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs or ours.
