Nuus / News Skoolhoof/Headmaster: Mr T.F Connoway 051-433 1613 Faks: 051 433 2202

Augustus / August 2018

1) Personeelaangeleenthede

1.1 Mnr. F. du Preez is op siekverlof.

1.2 Die vakante departementshoofposte is in die nuutste vakaturelys. Aanstellings sal

geld vanaf 1 Januarie 2019.

2 ) Verskil tussen SBA en PAT.

2.1 SBA (School Based Assessment)

Hierdie punte vorm deel van die leerder se jaarpunt. Dit kan take, toetse en onder=

soeke wees. Dit vorm ‘n groot deel van die leerder se promosiepunt.

2.2 PAT (Practical Assessment Task)

This is a practical task, besides the SBA, that must be done.

If, for example, a learner obtains 70/100 for PAT he/she only has to obtain 50 marks

out of the remaining 300 marks. Unfortunately learners do not take PAT

seriously and teachers struggle to get learners to complete all their PAT phases.

3) Skoolbywoning

Leerders se skoolbywoning wek kommer. Ek doen ‘n beroep op u as ouers om toe te sien dat u kind(ers) gereeld skool bywoon.

4) Busgeld

Die voortbestaan van die busdiens word bepaal deur die finansiële lewensvatbaarheid

daarvan. Die betaling van die busgeld is nie onderhandelbaar nie. Die skole beskik nie oor

die fondse om die busdiens te subsidieer nie.

The school’s sport and culture buses, is a service the school provides and is not financed by

the transport department. This service makes it possible for learners to do sport and culture

and to attend extra classes.

5) Neatness is part of / Netheid is deel van:

a) Netheid en dissipline is ‘n belangrike deel van opvoeding.

b) ouers en onderwysers se verantwoordelikheid.

The code of conduct, including the neatness rules, is available at the school and the

learn ers know the rules very well. Parents must see to it that their children meet the neat=

ness requirements of the school.

6) Nuwe leerders

Aansoek vir 2019 kan NOU gedoen word. Die sluitingsdatum is 28

September 2018. Voorkeur word gegee aan die volgende leerders:

a) Leerders wat in ons voedingsgebied woon of wie se ouers in die

voedingsgebied werk. Die voedingsgebied is op aanvraag by die kan-

toor beskikbaar.

b) Leerders wat broers of susters in die skool het of gehad het.

c) Leerders van Laerskool Bloemfontein en Laerskool Visser.

(Afrikaans)

7) Sport

Die sportseisoen staan einde se kant toe. Baie dankie aan:

- seuns en dogters wat tyd afgestaan het om te oefen en wedstryde te speel.

Hulle was altyd netjies en ek is baie trots op hulle. Hul gedrag op die veld was

altyd onberispelik.

- ouers wat ons kinders ondersteun het.

- onderwysers wat ons kinders afrig. Ander skole maak gebruik van buite-afrigters.

8) SMS

Die stuur van SMS’e het ’n belangrike medium van kommunikasie met

ons ouers geword. Indien u nie SMS’e vanaf die skool ontvang nie, is u

nommer by die skool verkeerd en vra ons dat u die skool onmiddellik

skakel om u nommer te kontroleer.

9) Parent involvement / Ouerbetrokkenheid

Parent involvement is of utmost importance to your child. Your child needs to

know that you support him/her whatever his/her performance. Parents must be

part of their children’s lives and there should be open communication so that

children will feel free to discuss anything with their parents .

Neatness continues...

We send sms messages to the parents before the school re-opens to remind them of the neat-

ness requirements. Unfortunately it still happens that learners come to school after the holiday

with coloured hair or hair that is too long. We urge parents to take this matter more seriously.

10. NETHEID / NEATNESS

Leerders dra sportklere tot aan die einde van die kwartaal. Wanneer die vierde kwartaal begin, moet hul weer akademiese klere aantrek op Maandae en Vrydae / Learners can wear sport clothes till the end of the term. When the fourth term starts, they have to wear their school uniforms on Mondays and Fridays.

11. SKOOLGELD / SCHOOL FEES

Indien u ’n probleem ervaar om skoolgeld te betaal, moet u my kom sien voordat

u rekening aan die skuldinvorderaars oorhandig word. Wanneer die rekening oor

handig is, is dit ongelukkig uit die skool se hande en kan ons niks daar omtrent

doen nie / Should you experience difficulty paying school fees, please come see

me. before the account goes to the debt collectors. After the account has been

handed over, there is nothing the school can do to help.

Mr Connoway

12. SWAK GEDRAG

Swak gedrag op die busse sal nie geduld word nie. Die busbestuurder is

verantwoordelik vir die veiligheid van die leerders. Leerders wat hulle swak gedra se

busvervoer sal summier opgeskort word.

12. SKOOLDAG: 2019

Vanaf 2019 sal die skooldag tot 14:00 wees. Busse sal vertrek om 14:10 / From

2019 the school day will end at 14:00. Buses will depart at 14:10.

COMMUNITY GROUP

On 30 August our learners will visit Pholoho School. We are going to donate toiletries

and clothing. The purpose of this interaction is to make our learners aware of the big

need in our community so that they can continue doing charity work when they leave

school.

Matric Mathematics/Physical Science Revision

Our Grade 12 learners finished the revision program for Mathematics on 19 August

and started the Physical Science revision on 26 August. Thank you for your excel-

lent behaviour and good attendance. You make us very proud. Leerders

ontvang ‘n hersieningsboek, met vraestelle en memorandums asook gratis ko-

eldrank en springmielies. I want to encourage them to attend all the Physcial

Sciece sessions and by doing that to invest in their future.

Matric Saturday classes at South Campus

A word of thanks to all the grade 12-learners who regularly attended the Saturday

classes. We want to thank you for your good behaviour and making Bloemies

proud. Congratulations to Naledi Sibi who received the prize for the best learner

in Life Sciences and Ntokoza Nophale for receiving the second prize in Account-

ing. We look forward to great results in the final examination. Learners had the op-

portunity to apply for study bursaries, we hold thumbs that you will be successful.

Noodhulp

Ek wil graag aan die noodhulpspan baie dankie sê vir hul goeie werk tydens

sportgeleenthede. Dankie dat julle altyd professioneel opgetree het en met

vriendelikheid na deelnemers se beserings omgesien het.

Redenaarskompetisie

Ons jaarlikse redenaarskompetitie het op 23 Augustus plaasgevind. There were

two sections: Junior and Senior. This year we had more than forty learners com-

peting in the competition. Redenaars was oor die algemeen goed voorbereid

en het moeite met hul toesprake gedoen. The winners will be announced at the

Prestige evening.

Mathematics Competition

Congratulations to four of our Gr 8 – 10 Mathematics learners who qualified for

round three of the Provincial Mathematics Competition held by the Department

of Education. Vusumzi Magqibelo, Riandre Nel, Phenyo Mokhobo and Sima

Mashiyi. This third round took place on 16 August and we are positive that you will

do just as well in the next rounds. Bloemies are not afraid of challenges!

Public Speaking

On the 23rd of August 2018, four of our learners competed in the Brebner High School

Public Speaking competition.

As always, our learners were extremely well prepared and represented our school with

pride and excellence.

Karabo Ramosedi, grade 12, won the senior division with an end score of 98%. Zimi

Faku, grade 12 and Davian Weimers, grade 11 both achieved 93%, while Veliswa Black

in grade 8 scored 86%.

It is always a pleasure to see our learners in action, as they speak with passion and

great enthusiasm.

SOCIAL SUPPORT SERVICES

The Social Support Services will continue to care for the learners of High School

Bloemfontein regardless of challenges they face. This term, they once again con-

tinued to provide professional services to learners who needed support.

This was achieved as a result of strengthening the team as follows.

Every Tuesday the Psychology students come to school and have sessions with

learners.

Two 4th year Student Social Workers are available on a daily basis to assist the

learners so that each learner is provided ample opportunity to get the help

they need.

Six 3rd year Social Worker Students also come on Thursdays to assist our

learners.

Furthermore, on 08 August 2018 the learners were requested to donate canned

food. This project is launched to collect non-perishable food items to give to learn-

ers in need. It is with grateful hearts that we thank all the learners and educators

WHO donated food. We believe that if we continue to give like this, no learner in

our school will go to bed hungry.

We pledge to continue to provide a selfless and professional

service to all the learners of High School Bloemfontein as we

continue to “Strive Higher”

Kultuuraande 2018 / Culture evenings 2018

The Lion King was a hit. So many people gave us wonderful feed-

back on our culture evenings that took place on 16 and 17 August

2018.

Ons is geweldig trots op die leerders wat soveel ure ingesit het om

van die aande ‘n sukses te maak. Die kwaliteit van hulle werk was

van hoogstaande gehalte. Baie dankie aan die personeel van die

skool wat saamgewerk het om onvergeetlike herhinneringe te maak.

JBS - 2018

To the school at large, but most importantly to the matrics: this is the last hurdle.

What you decide to do with your time today, is going to shape your future the

way you desire. A wise man once said, "good things don't come cheap", I truly

understand what he meant by that.

Studying is not nice, period. But we all want good things in life, and in order to

acquire these good things, we have to get out of our comfort zones and do the

one thing we dread, study.

From the JBS

NUUS

JIK

Hierdie maand by JIK was baie gefokus op dissipelskap en verhouding tussen gelowiges,

ons het in die LO klasse gepraat oor 3 basiese temas: 1. Hoe almal redding van sonde

nodig het 2. Hoe God redding voorsien het en 3. Wat die regte manier is om te reageer

op die evangelie van redding.

Die Sillabus wat ons gevolg het is ‘n boekie genaamd One 2 One discipleship deur

Everynations church.

Ons is werklik geseend om op hierdie manier ‘n impak te he op die skool en om leerders

vrye toegang te gee tot ‘n dieper insig van geloof.

This month, JIK focused on relationships and discipleship focussed month for JIK, in the

LO classes. We talked about 3 basic themes: 1. How Everyone needs salvation from

sins. 2. How God provides that salvation. 3. What the proper response to this gospel of

salvation is.

The material we are using for these classes, is a booklet by Everynations Church called:

One 2 one discipleship.

We are truly blessed to be able to impact the school and the education system in this way

by giving learners open access to a deeper understanding of faith.

FEEDBACK ON THE VISIT TO NAVALSIG POLICE STATION

The Grade 9 RCL members attended an event at Navalsig Police Station on

31/07/2018. The purpose of the event was to select Junior top management for the

Station. Learners had to prepare a presentation on Bullying or Drug Abuse and pre-

sent it to the panel.

Our learners represented the school very well as the following learners were chosen

to be part of this Junior Top Management:

1. Megan Geduld : Additional member on the committee

2. Ontiretse Bophalamo : Additional member on the committee

3. Mosa Nthejane : Junior VISPOL Commander with rank of Captain

4. Caslyn Crotz : Junior Support Head with rank of Captain

Well done, you made us proud !

SPORT

The ‘Sports’ term has come

to an end. Our sport teams

spective leagues as report-

ed in previous newsletters.

A word of thanks to all our

learners and coaches for a

job WELL DONE !

Soccer

We are proud of the soccer boys

this year. They participated in various

leagues and did well. It was the first

Also a word of thanks to our coaches for
