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.

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.

Vyf tekens wat kan aandui dat jou kind ‘n slagoffer van afknouery is

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

2. Veranderinge in slaappatrone

•

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: •

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);

•

Rassistiese afknouery;

•

Seksueel; en

•

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

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.

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.

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.

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;

•

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.

Behandel ander soos jý graag behandel wil word (Matteus 7:12).

Baie geluk met die prestasie. Hoe voel dit om as die slimste leerder uit die Klas van 2021 gekroon te word? Dit voel ongelooflik en ek is verskriklik gelukkig daaroor.

Het jy die goeie uitslae verwag of was jy verras? Ek was redelik verras met die uitnodiging en aankondiging.

Hoe was die hele ervaring tot nou toe - vandat jy as toppresteerder aangekondig is? Alles het regtig vinnig gebeur, maar dit was baie lekker om die uitslae by die skool te kry en al my vriende weer te sien.

1. WAARHEID AS GORDEL

Beskerm jou teen ’n tong wat jok en om in waarheid te wandel.

Wat was jou grootste uitdaging in jou matriekjaar? Die grendeltyd en aanlyn-leer was aanvanklik ‘n uitdaging, maar ek kon gelukkig gou aanpas.

2. BORSHARNAS VAN GEREGTIGHEID

Wie is jou rolmodel en hoekom? My ouer broer. Hy het my gewys hoe harde werk tot sukses kan lei en my geleer om altyd die grense van wat ek dink moontlik is, te druk.

Beskerm ons harte teen beskuldigings en aanvalle.

Watter ondersteuning het jy gehad? My ma het my baie ondersteun met Wiskunde ekstra-klasse.

3. SKOENE VAN VREDE

Watter studiemetode het jy gebruik? Ek het nie ‘n spesifieke studiemetode nie. Ek het ‘n kombinasie van teorie-leer, deur die jaar se oefeninge gaan en vraestelle uitwerk, gebruik.

Om oor gevaarlike struikelblokke te kan loop en die boodskap van Jesus aan ander oor te dra.

Moes jou ma ooit sê: “Ulrich, gaan leer nou”, of het jy op jou eie studeer? Ek het altyd op my eie studeer.

4. SKILD VAN GELOOF

Help ons om nie te twyfel nie en om te glo in God se getrouheid van sy Woord.

Wat was jou gunsteling vak en hoekom? Wiskunde. Ek hou baie van syfers en probleemoplossing.

Wie was jou gunsteling onderwyser? Ek het geen spesifieke onderwyser nie, almal by HJS was regtig goed.

5. HELM VAN VERLOSSING

Om ons denke te bewaar, want sonde begin by ons denke.

Help ons om tussen goed en kwaad te onderskei.

Watter drie hoogtepunte staan vir jou uit tydens jou hoërskooljare?

1. My prestasie in die 2021 NSS eksamen.

2. Ek was in 2021 ‘n skoolprefek.

3. Ek was in 2021 kaptein van die o.19 B Hokkiespan.

6. SWAARD VAN DIE GEES

Die Woord van God (die Bybel) wat ons teen die vyand beskerm, maar wat ook gebruik word om wonde te genees.

Wat gaan jy in 2022 studeer en hoekom? Ek gaan Aktuariële Wetenskap by Stellenbosch studeer. Ek hou baie daarvan om met syfers, wiskunde en komplekse probleme te werk.

Wat is jou boodskap vir die Klas van 2022 wat ook so goed soos jy wil presteer?

Geniet elke oomblik, maar werk van die begin af baie hard om jou doelwitte te bereik.

BRESCIA HOUSE SCHOOL Brescia Divers making a splash Springboard diving is an aquatic sport that requires extraordinary athleticism and courage, where athletes dive off varying heights ranging from one metre all the way up to ten and above for those daring enough!

It is a sport that requires a lot of dedication and effort and it takes a special kind of someone to do it, and in this case, those special people are the divers of Brescia House School.

Their coach, Fiorella Barberini, began working at Brescia House School in 2010. The team consisted of only six divers at the time which was the minimum number of divers required for the Inter-High schools diving competition, with no reserves available. This young group of divers managed a sixth position that year and has consistently improved over the years. As of today, Brescia House School is averaging a third overall in most of the larger Gauteng competitions, just behind two other top sporting schools in Johannesburg.

Brescia House School’s Primary School team has also grown by leaps and bounds over the past twelve years and have consistently improved their results after originally averaging around a sixth or seventh placing at the annual Inter-Schools diving competitions. In the last pre-Covid Inter-Schools competition in 2019, Brescia House School placed second overall in both the A & B sections - fantastic results for the young athletes that are only given six weeks a year of practice, making the accomplishments of the Brescia House diving teams even more impressive.

Fiorella Barberini has always had a deep passion for the sport of diving, she herself took part in the sport for many years and competed at a National level. Fiorella started her coaching career at Brescia House School and her involvement in the diving community has flourished since then. She started training as a diving judge, was FINA qualified by 2014, and now runs the judging portfolio for South Africa. She has represented South Africa internationally at the Junior World Championships in Russia in 2014. Fiorella continues to organise and coordinate the judges at every major diving event, including the annual Central Gauteng Aquatics and National Age Groups.

Tarin du Preez

Gemma Thomas

Although diving has been around in South Africa for decades, it is still not a widely recognised sport. Most municipal facilities for the sport have been removed or demolished, and those that are still standing need a lot of maintenance to make them safe for diving. Due to this, diving relies heavily on the generosity of private institutions, these are mainly private schools where the majority of training and competitions take place. The sport of diving would truly benefit from more funding which would in turn allow for safer apparatus, higher levels of performance and international travel in order to compete.

To shine at the sport of diving you need to be truly dedicated. The Brescia House School girls have what it takes to excel at this sport. This is made obvious by the hours of training they put in whenever required, which includes early morning training as well as late afternoons. Their dedication to the sport is so strong, that they readily spend weekends and holidays training, especially in the weeks leading up to big competitions.

Currently the team is training for the prestigious National Aquatics Festival in Durban, where their coach is certain the divers will “give it their all” and exhibit all the hard work they have put in this season. Fiorella and the diving girls of Brescia House School continue to prove that with enough talent, practice and dedication, you can be that special kind of someone.

LAERSKOOL MULDERSDRIF Atletiekseisoen Vinnigste, hoogste en verste – alles deel van die atletiek woordeskat en hier by Mullies gebruik ons dit prontuit!! Ons spring weg met ‘n heerlike Interhuis propvol pret en plesier. Die begin van ‘n belowende atletiekseisoen na ‘n jaar van onsekerheid. Doelgerig en gefokus pak elke atleet sy of haar item aan en met ywer. Bedrywige 7 byeenkomste en 19 oefensessies later, pluk ons die vrugte of eerder dan die PRESTASIES! 72 Atlete neem deel by die Krugersdorp Kampioenskappe, 22 atlete dring deur na die Gauteng-Wes Kampioenskappe. Met die wenstreep in sig is die atletiekseisoen nog ver nie verby nie, 8 atlete met ‘n totaal van 14 items verteenwoordig Laerskool Muldersdrif by die Gauteng-Kampioenskappe.

Met ‘n trotse Mulliehart sê ons dankie! Dankie aan elke afrigter, onderwyser, ouer en atleet wat hierdie fenominale atletiekseisoen moontlik gemaak het. Die entoesiasme en toewyding is werklik aansteeklik.

Jesaja 40:31 sê, “Maar dié wat hulle hoop op die Here stel, sal hulle krag terugkry. Hulle vlieg hoog, soos arende. Hulle sal hardloop en nie moeg word nie. Hulle sal loop en nooit vermoeid word nie.”

2022 se atletiekseisoen weerspieël net hoop, nuwe krag en opgewondenheid, opgewonde vir dit wat Mullies se atletiek vir ons inhou.

Ons doel is dat Laerskool Muldersdrif se atletiek die glorie van God sal uitstraal. Mag ons Mullieharte altyd rooi, groen, geel en Christus klop!
