Virtual sport series to showcase national school talent “The Showcase is a concept that was born during the Covid-19 pandemic and has grown to the first of its kind talent identification platform in South Africa”, says Gerhardi Odendaal, CEO of Old School Group, the host of The Showcase. “We designed this platform for athletes to improve their own ability at their own pace and to inspire kids that would not normally get the chance to showcase their talents to enter. Bobby Skinstad, Robbie Fleck and VanesMari Proudfoot have put their support behind this initiative and we are proud to combine their skills and knowledge, together with our industry specialists, within the programme”. The Showcase is a platform that gives school kids the opportunity to showcase their talent through sport-specific conditioning drills to determine speed, strength and skill level depending on the sport. Drills include the vertical jump, broad jump, sprinting, etc. and leaners submit the results of each test/showcase on the Showcase website and follow their results on a weekly leader board. The AWSUM School News platform and The
Showcase recently came together to give kids from all over the country and all walks of life, irrespective of their background or status of the school they attend, the opportunity to compete against each other. “Think about it, for the first time ever a learner from HTS Middelburg can compete against a learner from Hoërskool Namakwaland in Springbok, so it made perfect sense to join this initiative”, says Durandt van Zyl, CEO of AWSUM. “So many times, we see talent that gets lost in the crowds at schools. Now kids can enter and compete individually, and we present the best performers for contracting by talent seekers”.

The 3 phased series consist of: Phase 1: 10-week period where learners will complete sport specific conditioning drills Phase 2: The top performing entries from Phase 1 will participate at a live event against each other and have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of an audience of talent seekers, agents, varsity and high school recruiters, bursary givers, scouts and professional sports team coaches. Phase 3: A 4-day camp will allow players to develop skills and get tips from the best in the sports industry. “Children between the ages of 12 and 18 can showcase their athleticism and fitness as part of this unique programme and make their talents visible to top recruiters. This also builds self-confidence and enables youngsters to perform on a broader platform to measure their performance against other learners across the country”, van Zyl concluded.

Is there anything you would like to change at your school? All of the leaders before me have implemented strategies to bring about the change that I want to see. My main goal is making sure that these strategies continue to be effective. What do you love the most about your school? I love the people I have had the opportunity to meet and build relationships with. We are a small yet very diverse school with students and teachers from different religions, cultural groups and countries. Students at this school have the opportunity to continuously broaden their perspective by having conversations with people who have different life experiences and opinions. Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for? I want to do my best. I want to finish my Matric year knowing that I gave it all I could. What would your message of encouragement be for your prefects/ co-leaders? You have been blessed with the opportunity to be in a position where you can use your talents to be the change you want to see. Do not shy away from using this experience to learn and reach your full potential. Your
school believes in you, I believe in you, you must believe in yourself. Who is your role model? All the women I have ever met and all the women I have yet to meet in my life. If you could be any superhero, who do you want to be and why? Mrs. Elastic from the movie “The Incredibles”. I like the idea of being able to shapeshift into anything I want to be simply by using the elasticity of my body. On a regular Saturday you will find me at…with… On a regular Saturday you will find me at home with my friends attempting to study. No studying usually gets done but it’s the thought that counts.

FROM PECANWOOD COLL
What would your message of encouragement be for your prefects/ co-leaders? My hope is that we, the prefects of 2021, will be remembered as the group who impacted the school in the most positive way. There have been a lot of setbacks and a lot of difficulties, but we will be known as the prefects who were thrown to the wolves and came back leading the pack. The greatest winners encountered obstacles, but they never gave up. So no matter the challenge, let us stay strong and work together to grow our school, Pecanwood College. Who is your role model? My role model, when it comes to leadership, would be the previous Head Boy, James Clark. He has guided me more and more into a leader and has helped me to get where I am today. He took on many roles himself. He also had to adapt to lead the school through this world pandemic, also going through personal struggles. Despite everything he endured, he kept his head high and did great things for the college. He has helped me build my confidence. What are your plans after matric in 2022? After I complete my Matric, I plan to study at the University of Pretoria. I will be going into Computer Science. It is a four-year course. I also
plan to invest money during this time to help pay off my parents for everything that they have done for me and also to help save up for holidays overseas, as I want to travel the world. If you could be any superhero, who would you want to be and why? If I could be any superhero, I would be Iron Man. It isn’t because he is my favourite superhero, but I love his intelligent brain and creative inventions. He also gives his life to save the rest of humanity, which is humble to say the least (spoiler by the way). Lastly, I’ve always wanted to be able to fly, and Iron Man can technically fly, which is really impressive. On a regular Saturday you will find me at…with… On a regular Saturday, you will find me at the home of a loved one, spending quality time with them. Who is your Hollywood celeb crush? My Hollywood celebrity crush is Jennifer Aniston. I watched her act in all the “F.R.I.E.N.D.S.” episodes; I’ve watched some of her best movies, and I think she looks really good for her age. She has a smile that is infectious and she is a good actress.

Grade 9 subject choices: why you should start considering them now In a few months’ time, Grade Nine learners will be required to make important decisions about which combination of subjects they will be pursuing through to their final Matric exams. This is an important first milestone on the road to building a career, an education expert says, adding that while the decision would normally be left until later in the year, the world has changed so dramatically that Grade Nines should start thinking about this significant decision sooner rather than later. “The world changed last year – not just because schooling and work were disrupted and not just because both had to happen from home in ways never imagined before. The world changed because we are unlikely to go back to what we experienced in 2019,” says Natasha Madhav, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest private higher education provider. “It has long been said that one needs to prepare young people for jobs that do not exist, but this has never been a concept that has been crystallised in a way that really helped one make decisions. Perhaps it is clearer now to focus on preparing for a world of work that is changed and focusing on industries and skill sets that are and will be in demand, rather than on jobs with names that are familiar to us. “So, for instance, law has not vanished as a field, but most lawyers now need to consult online as easily as they do in person and they can collaborate in real time with colleagues all over the place. They also need to be advising people on both physical and digital implications of what they do.”

“The basic instruction is the same – develop an understanding of fields you are interested in and the things you are good at. Then look for jobs and careers that seem future-focused. Then, look for institutions that not only offer future-oriented curricula, but whose teaching and learning and assessment are explicitly directed at a changing world”. This then links to smart subject choices, Madhav says. “If your field is likely to be scientific and technical and analytical, you are still well served to include maths and science and perhaps a technology subject. If your field is problem-solving and solution-oriented, then subjects like history and design or visual arts will provide that skill set. If you are looking for both, you will need both. Higher education institutions are not going to move away from some of the standard demands for particular high-demand disciplines or fields, so be sure that you understand what you need for admission and include these in your choices. One of the key issues to consider is the fact that automation is on the rise, and that technological adoption by companies will transform jobs and indemand skills in future. And, as noted by the WEF in their most recent Future of Jobs report, skills gaps will continue to be high as in-demand skills across jobs change in the next five years. As noted in the report: “The top skills and skill groups which employers see as rising in prominence in the lead up to 2025 include groups such as critical thinking and analysis as well as problem-solving, and skills in self-management such as active learning,
resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility… On average, companies estimate that around 40% of workers will require reskilling of six months or less and 94% of business leaders report that they expect employees to pick up new skills on the job, a sharp uptake from 65% in 2018.” So where to start researching which careers will exist when you matriculate, and which of them might interest you? “A good place to start, on top of doing online research, is to find a higher education institution that has already demonstrated that they produce technically proficient and in-demand graduates, whose skills are aligned with what is required in the workplace because of their close industry connections. In other words, an institution whose curricula are up-to-date at all times, and that is able to quickly and resiliently respond to our fastchanging world. You will know who they are as they will confidently speak about change and flexibility and adaptability and about the link between study and work,” says Madhav. “By speaking to a student advisor at such an institution, which crucially must also be able to demonstrate that meaningful learning continued during lockdown, learners will be able to discuss their current interests and strengths, and then get advice and insight into which fields will be in high demand in future, and which subjects they can choose later this year, which will give them access to these fields.”
