Boelies – Help so jou kinders Baie ouers is nie bewus daarvan dat hul kind moontlik ‘n slagoffer van afknouery in die skoolomgewing kan wees nie – totdat dit te laat is. Kinders wil nie altyd hul ouers vertel dat hulle afgeknou word nie, uit vrees vir wat die boelie aan hulle sal doen as hulle uitpraat, of omdat hulle skaam of verleë is daaroor.

Daar kan baie redes wees waarom jou kind jou nie wil vertel dat hy afgeknou word nie: daarom is dit jou werk as ouer om ‘n oog (en ‘n oor) op jou kind te hou. Wees bewus!

Afknouery is ‘n wêreldwye probleem en Suid- Afrika is beslis geen uitsondering nie. Volgens ‘n Unesco-verslag1 word bykans 250 miljoen kinders en jongmense jaarliks op ‘n globale skaal afgeknou. Navorsing toon dat boelies daarop uit is om sekere kinders te treiter en af te knou weens verskeie redes, soos verskille in etniese en kultuurgroepe, liggaamlike voorkoms, of seksuele of geslagsoriëntasie. ‘n Boelie situasie word gekenmerk deur 6 definiërende faktore7, nl.: •

Intensie om iemand skade te berokken – Die oortreder vind genot daarin om die slagoffer te domineer en uit te tart.

•

Intensiteit en die duur van die situasie – Die boelie hou aan met sy gedrag oor ‘n lang periode en die afknouery veroorsaak dat die slagoffer se selfbeeld ‘n knou kry.

•

Mag oor die slagoffer – Die boelie het mag oor die slagoffer a.g.v. ouderdom, fisiese krag, grootte of geslag.

•

Kwesbaarheid van die slagoffer – Die slagoffer is meer sensitief vir ‘n getergery, kan himself nie voldoende verdedig nie en het fisiese of sielkundige eienskappe wat hom meer kwesbaar maak vir boelies en viktimisering.

•

•

Gebrek aan ondersteuning – Die slagoffer voel geïsoleerd en blootgestel. Soms is die slagoffer bang om afknouery te rapporteer uit vrees vir vergelding.

Gevolge – Die skade wat die slagoffer se selfbeeld opdoen, kan lank voortduur en kan daartoe lei dat die slagoffer homself van skoolaktiwiteite onttrek, of ook aggressief begin raak.

Afknouery kan verskeie vorme aanneem, naamlik:

3. Verandering in geaardheid

•

Fisies (skop, slaan of boks);

•

Verbaal (noem kinders name, dryf die spot met hulle of maak dreigemente);

•

Emosioneel (sosiale uitsluiting, intimidasie deur gebare of dreigemente);

As ‘n ouer moet jy jouself afvra of jou kind se geaardheid verander het en of hy buierig is terwyl hy voorheen gelukkig of toeganklik was. Só ‘n verandering kan die gevolg wees van hormonale veranderinge, veral by tieners, maar dit kan ook ‘n teken wees dat iets of iemand jou kind seermaak.

•

Rassistiese afknouery;

•

Seksueel; en

•

Kuberafknouery (deur die internet op sosiale media soos Facebook; of deur selfone met haatboodskappe of afdreiging)

4. Vriendverskuiwings Hou jou kind se vriendegroep dop, want só kan jy agterkom wie hy ignoreer. Jou kind kan homself van ‘n vorige vriendegroep distansieer.

Vyf tekens wat kan aandui dat jou kind ‘n slagoffer van afknouery is 1. Ongewillig om skool toe te gaan As jou kind dit normaalweg geniet om skool toe te gaan en ewe skielik nie meer wil gaan nie, kan dit daarop dui dat hy by die skool afgeknou word.

5. Punte wat daal Akademiese prestasies of punte wat daal, kan die gevolg wees van kinders wat bang is om skool toe te gaan, juis omdat hulle afgeknou word. Die skool word ‘n omgewing van vrees en angstigheid, eerder as ‘n omgewing waar daar geleer en genot ervaar word.

Ander waarskuwingstekens van afknouery sluit die volgende in: •

Onverklaarbare beserings soos kneusplekke, snye en krapmerke;

2. Veranderinge in slaappatrone

•

Verlies aan eetlus of verandering in eetgewoontes;

Studies toon dat 36% van kinders wat slagoffers van afknouery is, slaapprobleme het. Kinders wat afgeknou word, kan soms parasomnia of nagmerries ervaar. Afknouery kan ook tot depressie by kinders lei, wat dan kan veroorsaak dat kinders sukkel om te slap of dat hulle te veel slaap.

•

Vernielde of verlore skoolboeke, klere, of elektroniese toestelle; of

•

Gereelde klagtes oor maagpyn, hoofpyn, naarheid of dat hy siek voel.

The importance of developing organisational skills from a young age Developing organisational skills is important in holistic child development, and a key step in their path towards independence and academic success. Children are capable and competent and will respond to the opportunity to be organised, an education expert says.

“Organisational skills help children create order in their environment and the world, and they feel empowered to take on increasingly more complex tasks as they build on this foundational skill,” says Desiree Hugo, Head of Academics at ADvTECH Schools, a division of Africa’s leading private education provider.

She says parents can progressively start introducing organizational skills into the everyday lives of their children by making it a fun and empowering experience. Essential to this introduction is ensuring your child has good role modelling, and this is easily done by parent and child preparing for the school day before bed time.

Ensure school uniforms are prepared, school bags are packed, lunch boxes are ready to be filled and plans for collection from school are discussed. Involve your child in these preparations and give them the responsibility of participating in the organization of their day and space. Leave early in the morning to avoid traffic congestion, and prevent your child becoming anxious by late arrival. The impact of arriving late will be affect the child’s settling in and learning throughout the day.

“Teaching, modelling and allowing the child autonomy to practice these essential skills have a significant and long-lasting impact on a child’s ability to succeed throughout their academic career; since these are essential life skills and they are the foundation to building a child’s ability to feel prepared, and ready to learn and engage in the classroom.

“Teachers can help students stay on track by following a general schedule each day. Maintaining structure in the classroom supports students to establish a schedule and remember what is expected of them. Structure in this second year of Covid is important, given that most children in South Africa still have a disrupted educational experience, so where possible, structure helps alleviate some of the impact of this disruption by providing a measure of certainty and predictability.”

“With the right encouragement and approach, children will gradually start to build organisational muscle, and be proud of their contribution within the home and at school.”

She says at home, chores such as cleaning up toys, putting away clothes and helping set or clear the table – or whichever recurring chores arise within the home environment - are good ways to teach children the methodical approach to following directions and focusing on a task.

The LEGO Foundation www.legofoundation.com and UNICEF www.unicef.org share useful elements of playful pedagogy and these online platforms offers playful learning ideas, materials and strategies for schools and families, these can support organisational thinking.

“Establishing an after-school routine for having lunch, planning their work timelines, and completing homework promptly is also helpful, not just academically, but it provides a sense of structure and achievement.”

“As academic demands start to grow, children may experience challenges setting priorities, making plans, sticking to a task and getting things done. These skills become increasingly important as your child moves through different grade levels. Many people think of organisational skills as the ability to keep things in order, but it is much more than that – it sets a child up for success and enjoyment of their learning journey.”

Hugo says that parents can help their child on their organisational journey by creating a nurturing environment conducive to learning and developing important foundational skills, but always believing in the competencies of their child.

Playful family time is essential and co-creating games are interactive. An exciting way to introduce new concepts – particularly to an otherwise reluctant child – is to turn it into a game, says Hugo.

WYNBERG BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL

Zachary Porthen Wynberg Boys’ High School Head Prefect Congratulations on being selected as a leader at your school.

What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader?

I’m looking forward to the COVID restrictions being lifted so that we can start bringing back school traditions that have always worked, because during the past two years there were limitations on student activities. We also have a new Headmaster for 2022, and I believe this too will bring new opportunities, so I’m very excited for what lies ahead for the student leadership and myself.

1st Team Tennis

Music

Wynberg 1st Team Tennis finished off the first term on a high with a convincing win over local rivals SACS.

Jared Benn in Grade 11 entered his final piano graded examination (Grade 8) through Trinity College of Music, London at the end of 2021. As no examiners were sent out to South Africa from London to examine candidates in person, Jared had to make a recording of the material required for his examination and submit it on line.

We are very proud of him for achieving his Grade 8 Piano with a mark of 93% which is a Distinction. Achieving this level of playing at the age of 16 is highly commendable and to pass with distinction even more so.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I’m a proactive listener and am always considerate to others. I also make decisions based on my morals and integrity, but tend to sometimes take action before fully analyzing a situation.

Who is your role model?

I don’t really have a specific role-model but value certain attributes of different people, such as the hard work and dedication of Christiano Ronaldo; the morals and integrity of Mahatma Gandhi and the creativity and innovation of Elon Musk.

Is there anything you would like to change at your school?

I’d like to increase school participation among the boys and encourage them to be enthusiastic in all aspects of school-life.

Who is your Hollywood celeb crush?

What do you love the most about your school?

I really love the school vibe and the importance of what it means to be a Wynberg man. The opportunities presented by our school allow boys to thrive in their personal interests.

What will your message of encouragement be for your prefects/co-leaders?

Supera Moras - to never give up and overcome difficulties, as our school motto states. The journey ahead is going to be full of challenges but if we stand united we can overcome and achieve our goals.

Chess

Wynberg Boys’ High sent three teams to the Grey College 19th Annual Schools Chess Tournament in Bloemfontein in February, with the A side producing their best results at the event to finish in second place overall.
