2 FROM OUR SIDE

InsuranceThe effort you put into Grade 11 can be considered as insurance should something go awry in the future. There are an increasing number of institutions that make provisional offers based on your Grade 11 results, and many will still admit you even if your Grade 12 is a little less strong.

Evaluation of post-matric optionsAssessing their Grade 11 results and performance empower learners to make better decisions about their post-school direction, including about which options are available to them, what courses to apply for and where. Learners should start working out their ‘points’ for higher education entrance from Grade 10. This means they should thoroughly research the courses they want to study and the results they need for their application to be accepted. In Grade 11, learners are then able to monitor how realistic their aspirations are and where they need to do more work, which will reduce uncertainty when applying.

While Matric is often viewed as the year, Grade 11 learners and

their parents need to be aware that Matric is not a year-long event,

but rather a two-year long project. Throughout one’s school career,

Grade 12 (Matric) is viewed as the ultimate year, the year in which

you have to account for what you learned in the decade before, and

the year whose results will follow you for the rest of your life. But

what learners and parents don’t realise, is that Grade 11 can arguably

be considered as important, if not more so, than one’s final year, an

education expert says.“There are at least five reasons why Grade 11

learners should take this year very seriously, and put as much effort

into it as they will next year,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of

The Independent Institute of Education. She says the penultimate

school year is a significant one because it provides these options:

Matric exams:a two-year project

Time testingIf you keep good track of how long it takes you to master different kinds of work, that will allow you to draw up an accurate study plan next year. Knowing your pace of work means you will be able to revise with enough time allocated right from the start, so that you don’t run out of days before you run out of work to revise.

Exam focusTeachers set Grade 11 exams to mimic the format and complexity of Grade 12. That means that taking your Grade 11 exams seriously will help you understand how you are doing and how ready you will be for your final exams. It helps you to work out where you need to apply more focus. This year’s exams provide a measure of where you are, and should be treated as part of your preparation for your finals.

ExperimentingGrade 11 allows some time for experimenting before crunch-time arrives. Learn new study methods and stress management methods, and experiment with things you have not done before, like study groups and mind maps. Finding a variety of study techniques and approaches that work for you will allow you to enter Grade 12 with a revision system that will make you perform at your best.

“Matric does not start in your last year of school. If you start applying your mind to your final exams right now and take the long view coupled with a strategy, you will be able to deliver your absolute best when you sit for your finals in a year and a half ’s time, and significantly improve your chances of being able to follow your dream post-Matric.”

Hot

Peanut Butter Chilli FudgeMakes 24 squares or bars

FudgeINGREDIENTS• 850 ml (680 g) sugar• 80 g butter• 60 ml (60 g) golden syrup• 250 ml milk• 1 tin (385 g) condensed milk• 10 ml vanilla essence

oh, so heavenly!!!Let’s spice things up a bit for Mother’s Day with these delectable fiery treats!!

There will be enough pink roses and pretty cupcakes, so why not explore

something different and hot – it is winter already anyway!

&

METHOD• Grease and line a square 25 cm baking tin very

well.• Heat the sugar, butter, golden syrup and milk in

a saucepan on medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. The mixture must not boil at this stage.

• When all the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to the boil and boil for 5 minutes.

• Add the condensed milk and boil, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches soft ball stage (116–118 °C).

• Remove from the heat, add the vanilla essence and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to thicken.

• Pour into the prepared baking tin. Cool slightly while you make the topping.

ToppingINGREDIENTS• 300 ml (150 g) icing sugar• 125 g butter• 250 ml (250 g) peanut butter• 10 ml dried chilli flakes, plus• 5 ml extra for garnishing

4lunchboxesAround the world in

ItalyTake a (basil) leaf out of Italian lunches by whipping up some lunchbox pizza rolls – simply roll out bread dough or use ready-

made pizza bases. Spread over a thin layer of tomato pasta

sauce or pesto, then sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese and dried herbs over. Roll up and bake until golden and oozing. Cut slices of pizza roll for a flavourful lunchbox snack. For mini pizza rolls, use white bread and flatten it with a rolling pin before adding the rest of the ingredients.

UkraineTake inspiration from a classic Ukrainian dish, blini, for a unique break time snack. These wholesome pancakes are served with smoked

salmon or berries and cream cheese. Mix together

cream cheese with a little honey and a drop of vanilla, then spread onto a pancake or flapjack. Top with thinly sliced strawberries or mixed berries and sandwich together (or roll up if you’re using pancakes). Wrap them tightly in cling wrap to make sure they stay fresh and soft until break time.

GreeceFresh, punchy flavours abound in Mediterranean lunchboxes. Tomato keftedes, a crispy tomato fritter, is a seriously delicious

local delicacy – and great to make in advance for school

lunchboxes. Mix together chopped tomato, onion, parsley, crushed feta and half a teaspoon of baking powder with enough flour to form a firm dough. Roll into balls and refrigerate for half an hour, then fry in hot oil until crispy. When cooled, pack into a Ziploc bag, along with a small tub of mayo for dipping.

FinlandRiisipuuro, or rice pudding, is a traditional Finnish dish that’s super easy to make and, if packed in an airtight container, makes for

a great lunchbox treat. Cook a cup of rice in milk until it

has a soft and creamy consistency (adding milk when needed), then add a small knob of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Top with some fresh or stewed mixed berries. Once cooled, pack into a small container, along with a spoon for a nutritious and filling treat.

By GULLAN&GULLAN for Blue Ribbon Bread

Already out of ideas for your kids’ lunchboxes, although school has just started again? Why not shake things up and take the lead from a few international flavours? There’s a whole world of lunchbox fillings to explore out there, packed

with interesting, foreign flair and delicious combinations.

METHOD• Melt all the topping ingredients together in a

saucepan on medium heat.• Mix well and then spread the topping over the

cooled fudge. Sprinkle some more chilli flakes over the fudge before it sets.

• Cool and cut into squares or bars as soon as the peanut butter topping is set.

DIY beauty recipes to heal chapped lips

Lips don’t contain oil glands, which means that they’re even more susceptible to drying out and cracking than other parts of the skin. Lack of moisture in the air during the colder months only exacerbates the problem (another sigh).

To help heal your lips and get you back to your old kissable self, we’ve compiled a list of 5 nourishing DIY beauty recipes – scrubs, salves and balms – specially formulated to breathe life back into cold-battered lips.

Ingredients• 1 cup olive or almond oil• 1 teaspoon echinacea root (optional)• 1 teaspoon comfrey leaf• 1 teaspoon plantain leaf (herb, not

banana!)• 1 teaspoon calendula flowers• 1 teaspoon yarrow flowers• 1 teaspoon rosemary leaf• 1/4 cup beeswax pastilles• grapefruit seed extract or vitamin E

oil• peppermint essential oil• 5–10 drops of peppermint essential

oil (optional)

Ingredients• ½ tsp maple syrup (or honey)• ½ tsp finely ground brown sugar• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil• 2 tsp finely ground coffee• Dash of cinnamon or pumpkin spice (optional)• 1–2 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional)

Ingredients• 1 tsp of coconut oil• 1 tbsp of honey

DirectionsMassage on and around lips, and leave mixture on for 5 minutes before wiping off.The coconut oil will restore the lipid layer on the skin, while the honey acts as a moisturising and antibacterial agent.

Recipe Joanna Vargas.

Ingredients• 1 tsp coconut oil• 1 tsp matcha powder

Directions• Mix ingredients together and apply to

lips. Rub in circular motions for 10–15 seconds and wash off.

• Follow with a lip balm.

Recipe Joanna Vargas.

Ingredients• 1 part honey (or other liquid

sweetener) (vegetable glycerine is great for those with candida, if you are concerned about ingesting some of it)

• 1 part granulated sweetener• 1 part olive oil (other great

oils would be jojoba, almond or coconut oil)

F e e l i n g k i s s a b l e y e t?

5It can be hard to stay “kissable” during winter. Winter

weather brings cold weather and with cold weather comes dry skin and (sigh) chapped lips.

Directions• Infuse the herbs into the olive oil. There are two ways to do this. You can

either combine the herbs and the olive oil in a jar with an airtight lid and leave 3–4 weeks, shaking daily OR heat the herbs and olive oil over very low heat in a double boiler for 3 hours until the oil is very green. You can also omit this step completely, or just use a drop of each of the essential oils instead.

• Strain the herbs out of the oil by pouring through a cheesecloth. Let all the oil drip out and then squeeze the herbs to get the remaining oil out.

• Discard the herbs.• Heat 1/4 cup of the infused oil in a double boiler with the beeswax until

melted and mixed. (Save the extra oil for use on wounds/cuts or for another batch of lip salve.)

• Pour into small tins, glass jars or lip chap tubes and use on dry or chapped lips.

Healing lip balm

Directions• Mix all ingredients together.• Apply a small amount to lips.• Rub gently into lips for a few seconds or up to two

minutes.• If time allows, let the mixture remain on lips for a

minute or two.• Wipe off gently with a warm, damp cloth (or you can

just lick it all off!)• Store the excess in a closed container.• Enjoy your smooth, soft, healthier lips!

Recipe WholeNewMom.com.

Natural lip scrub

Directions• Mix all ingredients together in a clean bowl, making a

thick paste. Add spices or essential oil, if desired. Scoop mixture into clean container.

• To use, scoop a bit of the mixture onto a fingertip and then gently scrub the top and bottom lips to remove dry, chapped skin.

While contact sports remain a cherished

part of many schools’ sporting traditions,

children participating in these kinds of sports do stand an increased chance of sustaining injuries. Rugby icon

Jean de Villiers weighs in on the risks of

contact sports in South Africa.

It has been estimated that the rate of traumatic brain injury in children younger than 16 is around 180 per 100 000, which equates to 0,18% and most of these are characterised as ‘mild’2. When it comes to children, however, any concussion should be considered in a serious light as their brains are still developing.

There are a number of precautions that can be introduced in an attempt to make contact sports safer, but the interventions are not

always unqualified successes. For example, some studies have suggested that when helmets are introduced as a protective measure in children’s contact sports, the chance of concussive injury actually increased because the children adopted more risky behaviour in their style of play2.

Weighing in on the subject, Debbie Valentini, spokesperson for Zurreal says, “It should also be considered that healthy behaviours, such as regular exercise, are more likely to stick

in adult life if they are introduced from a young age, and school sports play an important role in establishing fitness as a lasting lifestyle choice.

“The efforts of Boksmart in providing safety guidelines for school sport and injury management are to be welcomed, as these can certainly help to mitigate the risks that are a reality of physical sports. We encourage schools to implement pragmatic precautions, and urge parents to remain vigilant and

demand that reasonable safety protocols are followed,” Valentini adds.

“I think that what is being done at the moment to prevent head injuries is fantastic, and the Boksmart system that helps with the treatment of such injuries immediately after they occur is a great starting point. I also think the coaching of better tackling techniques can prevent injuries, as a poor technique resulted in my first concussion,” De Villiers concludes.

References: 1 Concussive head injury in children and adolescents related to sports and other leisure physical activities (G J Browne and L T Lam, 2005) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2492044/ 2 Can we manage sport related concussion in children the same as in adults? (P McCrory, A Collie,, V Anderson and G Davis 2004) http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/38/5/516.

“An Australian study into the rates of concussion in children aged 6 to 16 found that organised sports accounted for six times as many severe

concussive head injuries than other physical leisure activities1.”

School contact sports and safetyAccording to Jean de Villiers, the issue of head injuries in school sport should not be taken lightly. “Having played rugby for close on 30 years, I have only been concussed twice. Once was at school when I got a direct blow from a knee to the side of the head and the other as a professional when one of my teammates kicked me on the head by accident. In both cases I missed two weeks of rugby,” says De Villiers, who is now playing rugby for the Leicester Tigers in England.

Mark Arnold, Principal Officer of Resolution Health, says physical sports provide a healthy balance in school life, as they serve as an outlet for restless energy and the strenuous exercise can help many

children to better focus on their studies. “There are many positive life lessons to be learnt from team sports in particular; however, a number of those currently played in South African schools do hold the risk of injuries.

“While people participating in contact sports could suffer a wide range of injuries, head and spinal cord injuries are of particular concern because they can potentially have profound and lifelong consequences. While adults are able to make informed decisions about the risks they take when participating in contact sports, it is up to parents to weigh up the risk of serious injury with the benefits such sports may offer their children,” he adds.

The Matric Blue ChordThe “Matric Blue Chord” was officially inducted on 23 February 2016 as a new addition to the school matric uniform.

This initiative was initiated by the class of 2016. The chord represents leadership, humility, and respect as a matriculant of Ferdinand Postma High School.In this, the chord strives to present a “DREAM” matriculant:

D – DiverseR – ResponsibleE – EnthusiasticA – Action orientedM – Motivated

Thank you to the ‘Ferdieraad’ of 2016 and the chair of the uniform committee, Mrs T Prinsloo, for supporting this initiative and ensuring that it comes to life!

BoogseremonieDie klokseremonie is in 2013 by Ferdinand Postma Hoërskool as seremoniële tradisie ingestel om Graad 12-leerders vir oulaas te groet en in 2014 om Graad 8-leerders amptelik tot die Ferdiefamilie te verwelkom.

As Graad 8’s dan die gelui van die klok hoor, mag dit vir hulle hulle eenwording met die res van die skool simboliseer en mag dit die res van die skool herinner daaraan dat hulle ook eens in Graad 8 was. Ferdinand Postma Hoërskool aanvaar daarom elke Graad 8 met ope arms en onvoorwaardelik.

As Graad 12-leerders hoor hulle vir oulaas die klok by Ferdinand Postma Hoërskool lui. Dit kondig die einde van hulle tyd by Ferdinand Postma Hoërskool aan. Weet egter dat dit ook die ritme van die lewe bevestig. Na hierdie era sal daar weer ‘n begin wees.

Mag elke Ferdie met die gelui van die klok opnuut aangespoor word tot paraatheid, getroue diens en waaksaamheid omdat die lewe kosbaar is.
