NOURISH THE BODY

Grade 9 subject choices: why you should start considering them now In a few months’ time, Grade Nine learners will be required to make important decisions about which combination of subjects they will be pursuing through to their final Matric exams. This is an important first milestone on the road to building a career, an education expert says, adding that while the decision would normally be left until later in the year, the world has changed so dramatically that Grade Nines should start thinking about this significant decision sooner rather than later.

“The world changed last year – not just because schooling and work were disrupted and not just because both had to happen from home in ways never imagined before. The world changed because we are unlikely to go back to what we experienced in 2019,” says Natasha Madhav, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest private higher education provider.

“It has long been said that one needs to prepare young people for jobs that do not exist, but this has never been a concept that has been crystallised in a way that really helped one make decisions. Perhaps it is clearer now to focus on preparing for a world of work that is changed and focusing on industries and skill sets that are and will be in demand, rather than on jobs with names that are familiar to us.

“So, for instance, law has not vanished as a field, but most lawyers now need to consult online as easily as they do in person and they can collaborate in real time with colleagues all over the place.

They also need to be advising people on

VIR

both physical and digital implications of what they do.”

“The basic instruction is the same – develop an understanding of fields you are interested in and the things you are good at. Then look for jobs and careers that seem future-focused. Then, look for institutions that not only offer futureoriented curricula, but whose teaching and learning and assessment are explicitly directed at a changing world”.

This then links to smart subject choices, Madhav says.

“If your field is likely to be scientific and technical and analytical, you are still well served to include maths and science and perhaps a technology subject. If your field is problem-solving and solutionoriented, then subjects like history and design or visual arts will provide that skill set. If you are looking for both, you will need both. Higher education institutions are not going to move away from some of the standard demands for particular high-demand disciplines or fields, so be sure that you understand what you need for admission and include these in your choices.

One of the key issues to consider is the fact that automation is on the rise, and that technological adoption by companies will transform jobs and indemand skills in future. And, as noted by the WEF in their most recent Future of Jobs report, skills gaps will continue to be high as in-demand skills across jobs change in the next five years.

As noted in the report: “The top skills and skill groups which employers see as rising in prominence in the lead up to 2025 include groups such as critical thinking and analysis as well as problemsolving, and skills in self-management

such as active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility… On average, companies estimate that around 40% of workers will require reskilling of six months or less and 94% of business leaders report that they expect employees to pick up new skills on the job, a sharp uptake from 65% in 2018.”

So where to start researching which careers will exist when you matriculate, and which of them might interest you?

“A good place to start, on top of doing online research, is to find a higher education institution that has already demonstrated that they produce technically proficient and in-demand graduates, whose skills are aligned with what is required in the workplace because of their close industry connections. In other words, an institution whose curricula are up-to-date at all times, and that is able to quickly and resiliently respond to our fastchanging world. You will know who they are as they will confidently speak about change and flexibility and adaptability and about the link between study and work,” says Madhav.

“By speaking to a student advisor at such an institution, which crucially must also be able to demonstrate that meaningful learning continued during lockdown, learners will be able to discuss their current interests and strengths, and then get advice and insight into which fields will be in high demand in future, and which subjects they can choose later this year, which will give them access to these fields.”

Who is your role model?

Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for?

I want to end the year with a minimum of 4 distinctions and to maintain a constant average.

I plan to study Medicine at The University of Witwaterstrand or at St. George’s University in the West Indies.

If you could be any superhero, who would you want to be and why? I’d want to be Jean Grey from X-Men, because she can feel the emotions of people around her but despite the fact that this might make her empathetic toward them when push comes to shove she does what she thinks is right for mankind.

Congratulations to Cole Mosterd who participated at the level 2 gala and made finals for all his events.

We are very proud to announce the Equestrian Captains for 2021.

Congratulations to Elena Alexandrov who continues to do us proud with her latest achievements. Elena won the gold medal in Junior Ladies at the Inter-Provincial Figure Skating championship recently held in Durban.

• 100 Free- silver (second place) • 200 IM - Gold (1st place)

As a result of her exploits, she has qualified for the Junior Ladies Short programme National Competition to be held later this year.

100 Butterfly he had to swim as an ‘Exhibition’ swimmer. He was actually a Level 3 swimmer with his times however there was a glitch in the CGA system when he was entered for regionals.

Unfortunately they could not allow him to receive a medal. The compromise then was he had to swim with 18-24 year old heat and his time would be recorded on the data base. He came 1st (with no medal though).

Zoe van Schalkwyk won a silver medal at the Gauteng North Regional Level 2 gala. She swam 50m backstroke and also improved her personal best by just over two seconds.

GIRL

HOOL FROM FOURWAYS HIGH SC Congratulations on being selected as a leader at your school. What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader?

I am looking forward to starting processes that will be beneficial for our school and community at large, while working with the student body to help change the school for the better and to be a leader who follows through with projects that I have started.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I am good at inspiring change where opportunities to do so make themselves apparent and I am open to being advised or criticized in a way that will improve my skills as a leader. My weaknesses include procrastination which I aim to change soon.

What do you love the most about your school?

The opportunities that are available to all the students in the school in any aspect of life whether they are academics, athletes, performers or entrepreneurs.

These opportunities help us grow and shape us for a better future.

Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for?

I am aiming for a consistent A average and to get at least 6 distinctions at the end of the year.

Q & A with Y

TRAVIS KRUMPLES HEAD BO

HOOL FROM FOURWAYS HIGH SC

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

Leadership only works if we do, therefore it is important for us to be who we are and try our best to unite and give the student body the results that they know we have the potential to produce.

Congratulations on being selected as a leader at your school. What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader?

I am looking forward to continuing being a good ambassador for Fourways High School and serving the school to the best of my ability whilst still having fun.

Who is your role model?

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela because she is the embodiment of the word resilient, even after everything she went through in life she stayed strong and was still able to inspire people with the hope that a better tomorrow exists. Her life story has taught me that something might seem impossible to do but it can always be done so I should never stop trying to achieve it.

Is there anything you would like to change at your school? My vision for the coming year is built on 3 pillars. Respect, responsibility and unity. Nothing can ever change without respecting each other, even though you may disagree with one another. We as students need to take responsibility for our own actions. I would also like to create unity by binding the gap between students and teachers. I would like to encourage all students to participate in school activities over and above the normal academic day.

What are your plans after matric in 2022?

In 2022 I plan to go to university to study towards becoming a forensic accountant in the years to come.

If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why?

Wonder Woman because she is a pure feminist who refuses to have herself underestimated by men simply because she is woman. She is the opposite of the stereotypical expectation of a woman, she is strong and independent which means she fights back instead of being silent.

What do you love the most about your school?

I love the people and the friendships that I have developed at my school.

Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for?

I would like to achieve 3 distinctions and get an overall average of 75%.

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

Always strive to do better, go all in every day, and be better than you were yesterday.

Who is your role model? Roger Federer.

What are your plans after matric in 2022?

To study at a University and to continue playing hockey.

If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why?

The Flash because of his ability to time travel and run as quick as lightning.

Virtual sport series to showcase national school talent “The Showcase is a concept that was born during the Covid-19 pandemic and has grown to the first of its kind talent identification platform in South Africa”, says Gerhardi Odendaal, CEO of Old School Group, the host of The Showcase. “We designed this platform for athletes to improve their own ability at their own pace and to inspire kids that would not normally get the chance to showcase their talents to enter. Bobby Skinstad, Robbie Fleck and VanesMari Proudfoot have put their support behind this initiative and we are proud to combine their skills and knowledge, together with our industry specialists, within the programme”.

The Showcase is a platform that gives school kids the opportunity to showcase their talent through sport-specific conditioning drills to determine speed, strength and skill level depending on the sport. Drills include the vertical jump, broad jump, sprinting, etc. and leaners submit the results of each test/showcase on the Showcase website and follow their results on a weekly leader board.

The AWSUM School News platform and The Showcase recently came together to give kids from all over the country and all walks of life, irrespective of their background or status of the school they attend, the opportunity to compete against each other. “Think about it, for the first time ever a learner from HTS Middelburg can compete against a learner from Hoërskool Namakwaland in Springbok, so it made perfect sense to join this initiative”, says

Durandt van Zyl, CEO of AWSUM. “So many times, we see talent that gets lost in the crowds at schools. Now kids can enter and compete individually, and we present the best performers for contracting by talent seekers”.

The Showcase is a platform that gives school kids the opportunity to showcase their talent through sport-specific conditioning drills to determine speed, strength and skill level depending on the sport.

“Children between the ages of 12 and 18 can showcase their athleticism and fitness as part of this unique programme and make their talents visible to top recruiters. This also builds self-confidence and enables youngsters to perform on a broader platform to measure their performance against other learners across the country”, van Zyl concluded.

For more info visit www.theshowcase.co.za

The 3 phased series consist of: Phase 1: 10-week period where learners will complete sport specific conditioning drills Phase 2: The top performing entries from Phase 1 will participate at a live event against each other and have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of an audience of talent seekers, agents, varsity and high school recruiters, bursary givers, scouts and professional sports team coaches.

Phase 3: A 4-day camp will allow players to develop skills and get tips from the best in the sports industry.

Q & A with GEORGE CHAVARANIS HEAD

BOY

DPARK RIDGE’S

FROM TRINITYHOUSE RAN Congratulations on being selected as a leader at your school. What are you looking forward to the most during your term as leader?

I look forward to all of the aspects that are to come in the year ahead, ranging from creating friendships with many new people and helping others to things such as major events like the Matric Dance.

I also look forward to a brighter future in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I look forward to seeing how we adapt and overcome this hurdle that has been hindering us for a long time.

What do you love the most about your school?

I would say the people and the bonds formed with those people at Trinity – whether it be a teacher or a fellow pupil.

The bonds I have created truly have greatly impacted me as a person as they arise from the beautiful ethos that Trinity represents as a school.

Who is your Hollywood celeb crush?

Alexandra Daddario.

What are your plans after matric in 2022?

I would like to go to university; however I am not sure what I would like to study.

I do know that I will work extraordinarily hard so that one day I will be successful.

I want to make sure that I make the most out of my life, doing everything I can do as well as being happy while doing it.

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

My message is simple – Enjoy every little bit of the journey. Time goes by so quickly and sometimes we do not live in the moment and take in what is around us, so therefore I would encourage others to make the most out of the year as well as to get involved where possible.

Who is your role model?

I am not sure who my role model is in particular, as there have been many amazing people with strong personalities that have been majorly influential in my life. As well as many well-known people who have also played a part in how I live my life. I think it is important to take note of the best qualities from different individuals.

Matric is your final year, from an academic point of view, what are you aiming for?

I am aiming for an average of above 85% as well as 7 distinctions, which I hope to achieve but will have to work hard to obtain.

Baie geluk!

Noordheuwel se landlopers is kookwater!

NORIES se atlete het ‘n puik vertoning gelewer tydens die NWU Super 16 of beter bekend as die NWU PRESTIGE reeks op Dinsdag 13 April by Potchefstroom Gimnasium se sportterrein. Die kompetisie was in ‘n aflos formaat, waar elkeen van die 4 atlete ‘n 2 km hardloop.

Veral die juniors het baie beïndruk waar 7 van die 8 nog 0/14’s is. Die junior meisies eindig algeheel 3de. By die seniors eindig die meisies 5 de en seuns 4de. Beide afdelings juniors en seniors eindig algeheel 5 de in die baie sterk kompetisie! Die prestasies voorspel ‘n mooi landloopseisoen vir die atlete in NORIELAND!
