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 SuidAfrika 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.

•

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:

‘n Boelie situasie word gekenmerk deur 6 definiërende faktore7, nl.:

•

Fisies (skop, slaan of boks);

•

•

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

•

•

•

•

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.

•

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

•

Rassistiese afknouery;

•

Seksueel; en

•

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

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.

Besoek gerus www.teenboelie.co.za vir meer inligting.

2. Veranderinge in slaappatrone

5. Punte wat daal

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.

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.

3. Verandering in geaardheid 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.

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.

Ander waarskuwingstekens van afknouery sluit die volgende in: •

Onverklaarbare beserings soos kneusplekke, snye en krapmerke;

•

Verlies aan eetlus of verandering in eetgewoontes;

•

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

•

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

Eerste Krieketspan

Toneelspel

Die eerste krieketspan, die Flames, is Dinsdagaand, 8 Februarie 2022, tydens ‘n spesiale geleentheid as volwaardige eerstespanspelers ingelyf en het dan ook hulle uitrustings ontvang.

Hierdie span is nog baie jonk en ons sien daarna uit om die beste in hierdie spelers uit te bring en die span na hoër hoogtes te brei.

Ons bedank vir menere Eugene van Rooyen (UD SPORT), Kobus Matthee (MATKEM), Hugo Marx (BODY FUEL EXPRESS DESPATCH) en Gerrit Rautenbach (SYMARA) vir hul volgehoue finansiële ondersteuning en oop hand teenoor die skool en die Despatch- gemeenskap.

Dit is vir elke krieketspeler ‘n eer en ‘n voorreg om die eerstespanhoed te dra.

Geo Michau, ’n matriekleerling aan die Hoërskool Brandwag, het ’n vonkel in die oog oor sy eerste verskyning op televisie wat in sig is. Dié aspirantakteur het oor 12 maande aan ’n aanlynprojek, aangebied deur ABS Produksies, gewerk om sy toneelspel te slyp. Geo het die projekleiers genoeg beïndruk dat hy gekies is om ’n rol te speel in ’n teaterstuk wat op DSTV se kanaal 147 uitgesaai gaan word. Geo het op 5 Maart in Pretoria vir ’n 4 uur lange werkswinkel aangemeld, waarna die televisieopname gevolg het.

Highgate Interprovincial Biathlon

1st Team Water Polo Pearson High School 1st team faced Collegiate Girls’ High School in Gqeberha, in their annual water polo derby. After the first half of the game which seemed to be clearly in Collegiate Girls’ High School’s favour with the score being 1-5 to Collegiate, Pearson High School showed determination at the start of the second half of the game. Pearson High School fought back in a nail biting 3rd quarter and managed to scrape the lead 6-5.

Going into the last quarter of the game, Coaches Delaine Mentoor (current Olympic Ladies’ Water polo Coach) and Erin Harty (South African National Ladies player) were determined for these girls to come out as victors from this nail biting game against rivals Collegiate Girls’ High School. Coaches Seko Zondani and Christy Rawstron of Collegiate Girls’ High School were highly encouraging of their girls to show strength and determination.

However, Pearson High School managed to find the rhythm of the game and managed to come out victorious with a win of 10-7 against Collegiate Girls’ High School. Well done to both teams. It is encouraging to see Gqeberha water polo growing from strength to strength.

Senior Athletics

Graeme won the toss and elected to field first. Our batters batted at a blistering pace, score at roughly six runs per over. Batting at that pace allowed us to set the game up beautifully.

Big congratulations to Esinako Jadi for qualifying for South African Schools Athletics Championships to be held in Gauteng Province from the 15th to the 18th of March 2022. He will be competing in the u.15 3000m.

This is a great milestone for him personally as well as Graeme College. Our Head of Sports, Mr Nico van der Meulen, says he has no recollection of a Graemian who has made SA Schools in the last half century.

We wish Esinako the very best of luck as he jets off to Gauteng on Sunday with the Eastern Cape Athletics delegation.

Among the 15 debaters from the Eastern Cape, Lufezo Tafane was ranked third.

Among the 150+ senior debaters in South Africa, he made it to the National trial squad of about 20 participants.

These trials took place this last weekend, where only 5 debaters were selected to represent South Africa. Unfortunately, Lufezo was not selected to the top five, but we congratulate this young man on his achievements and on representing his school at this high level. As a Grade 10, he has the opportunity to try again, both this year and again next year.

Wishing Lufezo and all his fellow debaters all the very best for the coming year.

Lebokgang Madikane and Luyolo Tokota

We have another talented young player in our midst. His name is Iminathi Jumba and plays at u.14A level. Here’s what our Head Of Cricket had to say about this talented young player: Iminathi Jumba produced one of the finest junior cricket knocks in recent years, scoring a faultless 135 not out for Hudson u.14A against Dale u.14A this weekend. Coming in to bat at 4, he carried his bat through the innings and was the main reason Hudson was able to post a daunting 247, allowing Hudson to win by 150 runs in the end.

Iminathi is a classy left handed batsman, and also bowls quality leg spin. He has all the qualities to be another successful cricketer from Hudson Park High School.

UNION HIGH SCHOOL River Mile Swimmers Go the Extra Mile Eleven Union High School swimmers took on the 98th River Mile at the Sundays River Cannonville Slipway this past Sunday morning, 27 February, joining hundreds of other swimmers who competed in this year’s edition of Africa’s oldest open-water swimming event.

• The 14 to 29 Years age group saw Hannah Bodenstein and Kendall Krige crossing the finish line together, in what was their very last River Mile for Union. They claimed the 27th and 28th spot, respectively, in the 25th minute. Tyra Binney, Brigette Oelofsen and Alexandra Imrie finished shortly after, coming in 34th, 35th and 36th, respectively.

• Ben Lemke came 7th in the Boys 13 & Under age group with his time of 22:49 minutes (53rd place overall).

• The 14 to 29 Years age group saw JJ Liebenberg coming in 45th, Max Price 48th and Dylan Petitt 51st.

• Mecoli Vorster and Rebecca Copeman, who both competed in their very first river Mile in the Girls 13 & Under category, swam very well, with Mecoli coming in 13th with a time of 24:22 minutes and Rebecca coming in 16th with her time of 26:54 minutes.

The school is extremely proud of these swimmers for their participation in this event, even more so of the ‘newbies’ who entered. we are also gratefusterkoek to the many parents who joined us for the day.

Of course, a River Mile outing wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Nanaga Farm Stall, where the learners and accompanying members of staff enjoyed the tasty home-made pies and roosterkoek on offer, before hitting the long road home.

Is jou kind dalk die boelie?

Dit is nie altyd maklik om te erken dat jou kind dalk ‘n boelie is nie.

As ‘n ouer wil jy nie hê jou kind moet ‘n boelie bly vir die res van sy lewe nie, want situasies kan vererger soos ‘n kind ouer word. Dit is daarom belangrik om op te let of daar enige van die bogenoemde tekens by jou kind verskyn en om deurlopend hul gedrag te moniteer. Kinders weet dat dit verkeerd is om ander af te knou en dit is juis waarom hulle kies om dit te doen wanneer ouers nie in die omtrek is nie. Dit lei tot ‘n toename in kuberafknouery, want die internet word gesien as ‘n ouervrye omgewing. Omdat ouers in die duister gehou word oor wat die kinders daagliks aanvang op die internet en op hul selfone, het hulle geen beheer oor die situasie en die negatiewe gevolge wat kuberafknouery vir kinders het nie. Ouertoesig is noodsaaklik om afknouery te stop. ‘n Kind wat self ‘n boelie is:

Jou kind is moontlik `n boelie wanneer hy:

•

Het vriende wat ander afknou;

•

ander vriende by hul groep uitsluit;

•

Word gereeld na die hoof se kantoor gestuur, of moet bly vir detensie ná skool;

•

•

Blameer ander mense of kinders vir hul probleme;

aanhou met onaanvaarbare en onaangename gedrag wanneer jy reeds vir hom gesê het om daarmee op te hou;

•

Is behep met sy populariteit en reputasie onder leerders;

•

Is baie kompeterend;

•

Raak betrokke by fisiese of verbale bakleiery;

•

Word vinnig kwaad of aggressief;

•

Het skielik nuwe besittings of ekstra geld wat nie verduidelik kan word nie; of

•

Neem geen verantwoordelikheid vir sy optrede nie.

•

onverdraagsaamheid en minagting toon teenoor kinders wat as anders of vreemd beskou word;

•

gereeld ander kinders spot of tart;

•

deurlopende aggressiewe en wrede videospeletjies speel;

•

diere seermaak; of

•

skinder of ander kinders seermaak.

Dogters of seuns kan boelies wees of gedrag van afknouery toon. Seuns is meer geneig om ander direk af te knou met fisiese aksie soos om te slaan of te skop, terwyl dogters eerder indirek betrokke raak deur skinderstories te versprei of deur ‘n kind uit die groep te sluit. Afknouery by kinders begin al so vroeg as kleuterskool of die eerste paar jare van laerskool.
