Hoërskool Stellenberg APRIL 2014 9 HOT! HOT! HOT!
Megan Laughton, a learner at Stellenberg High School, is the National Winner of the Annual Making The Difference Through Design Competition. Megan created an ingenious space-saving desk, sparked by the theme, “Building a Better School Through Design”. The desk is portable and includes a multipurpose chair that can either be folded and stored in the desk or used as a room divider – an innovative response to our schools’ lack of infrastructure and space. The Notjusta Chair was exhibited at the Design Indaba 2014 and was well received by designers and the public. Woolworths has undertaken to further develop the design during 2014 – 2015.

HTS Bellville The end of a long and prosperous career Master’s Degree in Mathematical Mr Leon Roelofse, principal of Bellville Technical High School, Education will be retiring this coming April after being the headmaster of this institution for the past 21 years. He is the third and longest running principal of the school which held its 40th anniversary in 2012. Mr Roelofse is respected for his financial prowess, successfully steering the school to financial stability. Five computer labs, the pavilion and the current mathematical classes were the brain child of our principal. He is well loved by the staff and learners of our school and already learners have indicated how much they will be missing him. On the day of his birthday learners would give him a special treat and would flock to the office for a hug and to give him their best wishes for the year ahead. Mr Roelofse is a man of integrity and honour, always bearing the interest of the staff and the learners in high regard. He, in turn, will be handing over the reins to Mr Michael Koopman, the current principal of Symphony Secondary School. We wish him a blessed and fruitful retirement in the company of his family.
