...dis hier en dis AWSUM Wat ‘n feit is, is dat AWSUM eerste in sy soort is. Daar is en was al baie ander koerante, maar is daar regtig iets wat die skole eerste stel en vir skole soveel voordele gaan inhou.

Vir die adverteerders wat reeds aanboord is, wil Tie Media, (AWSUM se uitgewers) ‘n veertjie in die hoed druk, want sonder hulle sal AWSUM nie die nuus wat vir skole en gemeenskappe belangrik is, kan versprei nie. Die vertroue word uitgespreek dat die lesers hulle sal sien en hulle sal

ondersteun.

En vir die toekomstige en huidige adverteerders kan ons net sê dat hoe meer adverteerders daar is hoe meer skole kan betrek word en hoe meer nuus en inligting kan versprei word.

AWSUM wil ook graag hê dat almal betrokke moet raak.

CHILLI & CHRISTMAS TOGETHER WITH THE TREASURY MARKET STELLENBOSCH FRESH GOODS MARKET @ OUDE LIBERTAS SATURDAY 3RD AUGUST 2013

Why celebrate Christmas only once a year?

There’s a growing trend for mid-year festive celebrations and for good reason as well.

A perfect way and excuse to celebrate a Christmas in winter, the Slowmarket has decided to combine it with a red hot Chilli Festival. Christmas comes twice a year to the Slowmarket in Stellenbosch and the perfect excuse to celebrate and combine it with Christmas in winter.

The Stellenbosch Fresh Goods market is the original authentic Slow Food market that has been running for over 5 years. Over 100

traders diligently support us consisting of producers selling products they have sourced, grown, raised, harvested, caught, preserved or transformed themselves. The market place is located at the Oude Libertas estate and has been re-invented as a showcase for the region’s finest food, wine, music, theatre and creative arts.

At the historic Oude Libertas Estate, surrounded by vineyards and oak trees, the Slow Market is the original gourmet market for Stellenbosch where we celebrate our local food and wine heritage.

Meet the neighbours, share stories and buy food which is grown, raised, harvested and transformed at source. Our market create a weekly platform for local farmers, bakers, grocers, organic merchants, finefood purveyors, butchers, artisan producers, celebrated chefs and micro businesses and shop for seasonal and locally grown produce and global street foods. A treasury market showcasing local South African designers, seasonal themes and specialty festivals all year round. The Stellenbosch Fresh Goods market conveniently brings together a variety of fine foods and wines. You will

experience an ancient way of shopping in a modern context and find the real story on how food is farmed. Goods with known provenance are sold fairly... no long cold storage, no over processed chemically laden foods, no excessive food miles or doubtful production methods. Customers get to taste before they buy and you can bargain and swap recipes in the process. Our food is fresh seasonal and locally grown making it simple, nourishing and delicious. By trading the food grown on the urban edges directly from the producers we are aiming to make the food chain more sustainable and environmentally sensitive.

Come and support your friend and neighbour, the small scale artisan producer of fine foods who uses only the freshest ingredients and makes your food with

care Every 1st Saturday of each month, The Treasury market plays host to a series of monthly gatherings of artists, designers and crafters from Stellenbosch and its surroundings.

At Kip McGrath Education Centres we help build the foundations for academic success.

Our secret is “back to the basics” and individual attention. We offer professional tutoring for primary through to high school students and has been such a success worldwide. The rst priority is an accurate assessment of the child’s learning status and abilities. An apparent problem with mathematics may well be due to a reading de ciency and reading problems can result from all manner of causes. Parents’ concerns are established and the results of the assessme assessments are discussed con dentially.

Once a problem and its causes have been identi ed, the child is placed on a program to suit his/her individual need. The programs are designed so that progress is constant and accelerated. It also gives the children the motivation to succeed.

Children often experience success for the rst time at a Kip McGrath Education Centre, because they start working at their own level. Parents who bring their children to KipMcGrath Centres are grateful to have found someone who can help correct their child’s problems with school work.

PRG u19A’s – Brothers’ Cape Town International Schools Finalists The Paul Roos u19A Hockey team has been involved with the Brothers’ Festival since its inception in 2003 and on Sunday 21st July 2013 – one decade later – made the final for the 1st time. Paul Roos faced Rondebosch in the all Western Cape final after both schools remained unbeaten through the group phase and won their respective semi-finals.

sluggish start by converting a penalty corner 10 minutes later. This seemed to shock the Men in Maroon into action and they duly responded before half-time. During the interval Paul Roos had regrouped and came out a more determined and focused team to show that they were worthy finalists and would not be bullied by the Cape Town team.

With more possession and territory the Maroon Machine took the game by the scruff of the neck and Perryn Uys coolly slotted a well-worked penalty corner for Paul Roos – the

momentum had truly swung in their favour. Rondebosch were starting to show signs that they might crack under the wave of pressure by turning the ball over very regularly.

Paul Roos had two glorious opportunities to equalise and take the game into extra-time but alas that would not be the case. Well done to Rondebosch for winning the gold medal but we must also congratulate Paul Roos for their efforts in making the final a worthy spectacle.

Hy is immers PRG se SEMPER se redakteur.

Akademiese profiel: Gerben Draaijer Ferdinand Botha, Paul Roos Daar word soms tong-in-die-kies na hom verwys as ‘n wiskundige reus. Gerugte doen die rondte dat onderwysers sidder as hulle die woorde “Juffrou, ek het net gewonder” hoor wanneer hy sy hand opsteek. Gerben Draaijer het al soveel vermag wat akademie betref dat Semper dit goed gedink het om ‘n profiel oor hom te doen.

Gerben is sedert Graad 8 onder die top vyf akademiese presteerders in sy graad –meestal eerste of tweede.

Onlangs het hy egter sy akademie tot ‘n byna ongekende vlak geneem toe hy ‘n algemene gemiddelde van 96,9% in die Junie-eksamen behaal het. Hy het onder meer 100% vir Wiskunde, 99% vir Gevorderde Wiskunde en 98% vir Fisiese Wetenskap gekry. “Ag wat, ek doen maar my werk en beantwoord die vrae in die eksamen en so aan,” merk hy droogweg op toe ek hom vra wat sy geheim is.

Gerben het die afgelope kwartaal ‘n tweede plek behaal in die nasionale Rekeningkunde-olimpiade. Hy is ook na die nasionale Fisiese Wetenskap-olimpiade se prysuitdeling genooi, maar kon dit ongelukkig nie bywoon nie.

In sy vrye tyd geniet hy dit om bergfiets te ry en draf ook uit vir die Otters-hokkiespan. Gerben behartig ook Semper se finansies en lewer af en toe lakonieke kommentaar tydens vergaderings. Hy wil na skool Aktuariële Wetenskap gaan studeer aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Bekend (of dalk berug) onder onderwysers, stel Gerben ‘n ongelooflike voorbeeld aan Paul Roosers. Miskien is dit eerder gepas dat daar na hom as ‘n akademiese as ‘n wiskundige reus verwys word.

DVD Resensie

Fliek Resensie

Blitz Patrollie [☺☺☺☺] Komedie 13DTG Dit handel oor twee polisiemanne wat werk by ’n polisiekantoor in die middel van Johannesburg.

Na ‘n paar mislukte take wat hulle moes uitvoer word hulle gevra om vir eers laag te lê, maar dit laat die twee nie stop nie. ’n Groot dwelmskandaal het losgebreek en hulle het dit hul plan gemaak om die skuldiges te vang. ’n Lekker fliek.

D-‐Dwelms T-‐Taal G-‐Geweld

Babalas [☺☺] Komedie 10 TSD (D-‐Dwelms, T-‐Taal, S–Seks) ‘n Agent vir ’n events-‐maatskappy moet die mees suksesvolle advertensies in die nuwe Suid-‐Afrika gaan soek vir ’n Gala geleentheid. Die agent besluit om die ou Castrol advertensie te gebruik en ook die oorspronklike akteurs van die advertensie te kry om deel te wees van die hele aand. Sy reis toe na die Kalahari om die akteurs te vind. Sy kry hulle waar hulle nog steeds op dieselfde stoep sit met ’n nuwe lid by. Die storie handel oor die spulletjie en hulle toer na Johannesburg. Hulle mannewales dryf die arme agent teen die mure uit. Baie teleurstellende rolprent met humor wat baie eenvoudig voorkom, die storie verloop ook baie stadig.

CD Resensie

36 Running Hits [♪♪♪♪] Ons almal bou maar so deur die jare ’n draf playlist op jou foon of i-‐POD, daardie musiek wat jou die laaste end sal dra, want CD’s se musiek is nie almal draf “songs” nie, maar die nuwe CD 36 Running Hits is ’n CD wat gelaai is met songs waarop jy kan draf, spesifiek vir die drawwers. Dit sluit ook ’n oefenprogram in. Die dubbel stel CD sluit nie net al die nuutste pop liedjies nie maar ook ou gunstelinge. Daar is songs van Calvin Harris tot

by Kenny Loggins. ’n Definitiewe MOET hê CD!

Die Suid-Afrikaanse fliekbedryf is op ‘n wipplank....op en af Vrydag, was Vrouedag en ek en my ma het besluit om te fliek. By die flieks aangekom sê ek onmiddellik ek wil graag die nuwe Afrikaanse fliek, Babalas gaan kyk. My ma was nie so gretig om dit spesifiek te gaan kyk nie maar stem later toe maar in. Ons was laat en kom toe net betyds in die teater. In die bioskoop was daar nie ’n enkele mens nie, dis toe dat ek wonder of ons in die regte teater is. Die fliek het vol beloftes begin maar gedaal tot ‘n nuwe laagtepunt, ons gooi toe die handdoek in en loop uit.

Dis toe dat ek die volgende Tweet: “Die Suid-Afrikaanse fliekbedryf is op ‘n wipplank.... op en af” . Die eerste Afrikaanse vollengte-rolprent met Afrikaanse dialoog was in 1931 en die rolprent se naam was Moedertjie. Van toe af het daar deur die jare nog meer Afrikaanse rolprente uitgekom soos Dis lekker om te lewe tot Netnou hoor die kinders.

Maar met die aanbreek van die nuwe millennium het die Afrikaanse rolprente begin afneem. En die eerste groot Afrikaanse Komedie wat weer gesig gewys het op die silwerdoek was Poena is Koning. Daarna kom films soos Bakgat en Hond se Dinges uit.

Dit is nie almal se smaak nie, en neig na toilet humor.

Volgens my het die Afrikaanse fliek industrie weer begin kop oplig in 2010. Daar was rolprente soos Roepman, Jakkalsdans, Platteland, Hoofmeisie, en Ek joke net.Afrikaanse rolprente het begin standaarde stel, flieks gemaak vir die hele gesin. Dan is daar ook weer jou meer ernstige rolprente soos dié van Katinka Heynes, Die Wonderwerker het weereens gewys het waarnatoe die bedryf in staat is. En dit gee vir ons moed, lyk my die wip plank is aan die op kant.

Lynné slaan reis na Parys los Lynné Schoeman, ‘n Graad 12 leerder van die Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, het onlangs die internasionaalgeakkrediteerde Franse DELF-eksamen afgelê. Sy het die B1-vlak met 84% geslaag en is een van die top-drie graad 12-kandidate in Suid-Afrika. Sy is gekies om as een van 25 leerders wêreldwyd ’n 10-dae-lange kursus in Parys by te woon in Augustus.

Hoërskool Parel Vallei

10 AUGUST 2013 PAREL VALLEI ADVANCED EDUCATION TRUST The Parel Vallei Advanced Education Trust was formally established in 2006 to support and provide advanced educational opportunities to pupils at Parel Vallei High School as well as any deserving educational institution in the Helderberg Basin. The Trustees have a vision of enabling children to develop academically beyond the con-fines of a National curriculum. The Parel Vallei Advanced Education Centre has Parel Vallei High School as its base where Cambridge International Examination courses as well as IEB A-P Mathematics courses are offered. Since its inception this Trust as grown slowly but steadily and has served Parel Vallei extremely well. On this sheet, some of the projects and events which the Trust has undertaken are listed. Since 2013 the Trust is registered as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) and any donations which are made into this trust are claimable from tax. Readers are invited to support this trust and in this way ensure that Parel Vallei High School will always be at the top (or near the top!) of the Academic pile.

Prior to registration in 2006, the Trust invested in a special projector screen for the Geography room. It also sponsored one of the A-level teachers to attend a training course in Cambridge, England. Mrs Leonie Barnard, who later went on to become the Head of Department for the A-levels within the school, made full use of this op-portunity and she was able to plough her knowledge into the Trust’s Education Centre.

The Trust would be lost without the excellent services of Mrs. Yvonne Gerber who has kept all records and administered the Trust diligently since its inception.

We bought a Laptop Comput-er for her to be able to work both at the office and at home. This was in fact the first asset the trust acquired as all previous items purchased were donated to Parel Vallei. Here she is on the right behind her Laptop which became the heart of the Trust’s business. In 2010 we started using Ledbury as an exam venue and acquired chairs and tables which enabled us to let the A-level students write in the reception hall of this building. This has been a real boon for the pupils who feel really special when they are set apart from the rest of the school. We also bought a two drawer filing cabinet for our record keeping.

In 2010 the school built 8 extra specialist classrooms and up-graded the sport hall. This in-cluded a new Library which had to be furnished. The Trust donated the bulk of the money for this purpose and the beauti-ful solid oak tables and shelves have made the library a very special place for all our pupils.

2012 was a special year in terms of ex-pansion of the school’s buildings. The Ed-ucation Department invested R7,6 million in Parel Vallei and 10 classrooms were built. Two of these classrooms were fitted as extra Science and Biology labs. The Trust donated liberally for this purpose and our pupils are loving these new 5 star facilities.

The Trust has also invested in the future of teaching in the school by providing a bursary to one of its past head boys. Lukas Muller, Headboy of 2006, currently completing his Post Graduate Certificate in Education after doing a BA Degree, will be eligible for a teaching post at Parel Vallei in 2014. This bursary for his final year has ensured that we are able to appoint an excellent teacher who knows and understands the ethos of the school, providing continuity and stability into the future.

Jo-Ann Strauss en die Kolligspan het die Hoërskool HottentotsHolland besoek. Jo-Ann was die hoofdogter van HHH gedurende 1998. Sy het spesiaal versoek dat Steve Roux, skoolhoof van 1998, ook saam met haar sal optree.

Once again Hottentots-Holland High School will be the host of a fantastic and exciting musical. This year we welcome Cinderella van die Kaap – The Musical. This production was written specifically to showcase the tremendous talent and it consists of 50 cast members all singing, dancing and acting to their heart’s content.

You will encounter a new and truly South African twist with this version of the classic story known by all. The complex mixing-bowl of characters include Helen Thriller, Cinderella’s evil political stepmom, Brenda the shebeen queen, a retired fairy godmother, a new Nigerian family called the Ajibakas and a group of stray animals who help Cinderella find her place. The action quickly turns into crazy fun with lots of gossip, miscommunications and jealousy on Tamatiestraat in a row of semi-detached houses in Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap.

SOMERSET COLLEGE ROWERS AWARDED WESTERN PROVINCE COLOURS Four rowers from Somerset College were awarded their full Provincial Colours in recognition of their excellent performances over the past rowing season. They are Andrew Milton (U18), Nicholas Oberholzer (U17), Nora Bornschein (U17) and Nicholas Farrell (U16).

Nicholas Farrell, Nora Bornschein and Nicholas Oberholzer recently returned from the 94th Ghent International Regatta in Belgium, where they represented the South African Schools Rowing Team admirably in a range of boat classes. They gained some invaluable experience in their competitive racing against some of the top rowing clubs in Europe, Great Britain, North Africa, and the Mediterranean.

SOMERSET COLLEGE HOCKEY PLAYERS AT THE CENTRE OF TWO TOURNAMENT VICTORIES IN TWO WEEKS! History was made at the National Girls’ U18 Inter-Provincial Tournament (IPT) hosted

by KwaZulu- Natal at Kearsney College during the last week of the school holidays.

Boland won this prestigious tournament!Under the professional guidance of Coach, Adene Bennett, and the management of Miche Rootenberg, there was a great sense of excitement amongst the team.

Five games were played with intensity and vigour, of which the girls lost one game against Free State, won two against Amathole A and Western Province B and drew one with Southern Gauteng. The team was through to the final. With much anticipation the finals were played on a superbly clear and sunny day with Boland being 0 – 1 down at half time. The girls stepped up their game and were unstoppable, winning 3 – 1.?Six Somerset College students represented this champion Boland team; Nicole Wilmans – Captain of Boland, Savannah Burns, Kaira Day, Megan Engelbrecht, Hayley Walker and Jade Batchelor.

Following this tournament, three students from the College were selected for the South African U18 teams. Savannah Burns, who was brilliant throughout the tournament, was selected for SA U18A. Nicole Wilmans and Kaira Day were both selected for the SA U18B team.?During last week’s Cape Town International U18 Hockey Festival for schools and clubs, the Somerset College 1st hockey team were once again in fine form, winning each of their matches to claim the trophy for the second year running. Somerset College won this tense final 4 – 3 at the Hartleyvale Hockey Stadium. The team captain, Natasha Rootenberg collected the winning team trophy and also received Player of the Festival. Kaira Day received the award for Top Goal scorer and Jade Batchelor Top Goalkeeper. This group of Somerset College girls can be proud of their achievement and thoroughly deserve it!
