Nuweastrobaan maak reuse-verskil
Yaël Malgas
’n Skool gestig deur die gemeenskap wat sy splinternuwe astrobaan vir die skoolgemeenskapbeskikbaar stel...
Dít was die sentiment vandie Dorothea Spesiale Skool se skoolhoof, Anthea Williams, die afgelopeDinsdag (4Augustus) by die amptelike opening van die skool se spesiale nuweastrobaan, die Ivan’sCommunity Arena. Dié nuwe gerief is met die hulp van verskeie plaaslike vennote geskep.Die OpenPlay-stigting, Training4ChangeS en die Stellenbosch-sportakademiehet almal hand bygesitomdie projek moontlikte maak.
VolgensMarco Botha vandie Open Play-stigting wasdie bouvan die baan nie beplan nie, maar metdie hulpvan verskeieondernemingsenskenkers kon die skool se ou netbalbaan in ’n gepaste baanvir dieskoolkindersomgeskep word.Danksy oorblywende kunsgrasvan ’n projek en ’n skokabsorberendemat van’nander kondie verskaffer beide teen ’n goedkoper prysaanbied. “Hierdieoppervlakisspesifiek vir Dorothea se leerders toegerus –leerders wat mobiliteitsprobleme het. Hierdie baanhet ook onverwagte voordelevan hierdie baan vir leerders,” sê Botha.
Een van hierdie oudleerders was wyle
Ivan Adams, na wie die astrobaan vernoem is. Adams is in 2021oorlede –dae voor sy 56ste verjaarsdag.
Danksydie hulp vandie Open Pay-stigtingse netwerk kondie baan,met die waardevan sowat R1miljoen, vir ’n derdevan die prysingerig word Dorothea is in die 1980’sgestig nadat diebehoeftevir ’n skool vir gestremde kinders geïdentifiseer is.
Joan Abrahams, ’n familielidbywie Ivan tot metsydood gewoon het, onthou dat beideAdamsseouers by dieskool betrokke was. “Die familiemis homnog baie. Hy was byvoorbeeld baieliefvir sleutels en het altyd jou sleutelsgevat sodra iemand by die huis inkom.Soms het hy die sleutels weggesteekendan wasdit ’n groot gesoek, maar sulke dingetjies is waarvoor ons homsal onthou,”sêAbrahams.
Noubied die baan Dorothea se leerders die kans om te ontwikkel, sê Williams.
“In die stilte is daar altyd ’n stem van hoop. Ons is nie sommernet nog’nskool nie –hierdie skool is een met’nGods-
verhaal...Ons strewevir onsleerders is gehalte-onderrig in dieklaskameren nouook op diebaan. Maar om diebeste geleenthede virons leerdersteskep, het onsvolhoubarevennote nodigendit is presieswie hierdieprojek’nwerklikheid gemaakhet,” vertel Williams. Sy spoor almal aanomhul ore en hartealtydvir die stille stemvan hoop ooptehou,waarhulle hulle ookal bevind.
Benewensdie baanhet dieskool ook sporttoerusting by dieplaaslikeraadslidElsabé Vermeulen(wyk 16) ontvang. Na afloop van die amptelike opening en dieseremoniële lintknip hetdie groot pret begin.Leerdershet op hulnuwe baanaan speletjiesdeelgeneem en die ouer kinders hetinnetbal- en sokkerwedstryd kragte gemeet.
