kosteverhoging 13,8%, waarvan R90 permaand aangewend sal word vir ’n nuwe as-

trobaan by die skool.Die res van die verhoging maak voorsie-

Hoërskool De KuilenSkoolgeld by die skool is R9 770 per leer-

ling per jaar vir 2013, wat ’n 12%-verhogingis vergeleke met 2012.

Skoolhoof Herman Mellet sê leerlinge ont-vang alle skryfboeke, handboeke en vervoervan en na buitemuurse bedrywighede. “Baieskole verhuur of verkoop handboeke envoorgeskrewe boeke aan leerlinge, maar nieby ons skool nie,” sê hy.

Mellet sê 60% van die begroting word aan-gewend vir beheerliggaampersoneel.

Hy sê die onderhoud, herstelwerk en kapi-taalprojekte by die skool vorm 25% van dieskoolfondsbegroting.

’n Korting op die skoolgeld word gegee in-dien die volle jaar se skoolfonds eenmalig be-taal word.

Mellet sê voorsiening word gemaak virleerlinge wat wettiglik in pleegsorg geplaasis en ouers kan aansoek doen vir skoolfonds-vermindering volgens die Wes-Kaapse on-derwysdepartement en die Suid-Afrikaanseskolewet-riglyne.

Malan vanjaar R16 250 per jaar betaal, ’n10,2%-verhoging vergeleke met verlede jaarse skoolfonds.

Joh Dorfling, skoolhoof, sê wanneer driekinders in die skool is en die volle skoolgeldvooruit betaal word, kry die derde kind15%-afslag, bo en behalwe die normale kor-ting.

Sy sê die grootste faktore wat ’n invloedhet op die persentasie-verhoging is die aan-tal akademiese en administratiewe perso-neel wat deur die beheerliggaam betaal moet

word, water en elektrisiteit en die voorsie-ning vir vrystelling van skoolgelde vir ouerswat nie die skoolgeld kan bekostig nie.

“Twee bykomende personeellede wordaangestel om voorsiening te maak vir eenleerkrag vir elke 30 skoliere-verhouding,” sêhy. Du Plessis sê die styging maak ook voor-siening vir ’n nuwe pensioenfonds-voordeelvir beheerliggaampersoneel, terwyl ekono-mie, siviele tegnologie en Frans as nuwevakke vanjaar by die skool aangebied word.

Hoërskool TygerbergDié skool se skoolfonds beloop R12 800 vir

vanjaar, ’n verhoging van 10,3%, oftewel R1200.

Wikus Herselman, skoolhoof, sê die be-heerliggaam stel die begroting vir die jaarin samewerking met die skool saam.

“Die skoolfondsbedrag word aan die handdaarvan bepaal en by ’n ouervergaderingvoorgelê, waar dit deur die meerderheid vanouers goedgekeur word.

Big planning forBacktoschoolResearch conducted aroundback-to-school (BTS), has yieldedhundreds of thousands of respon-ses, indicating that parents havestrong opinions about back-to-school issues and are prepared togo on record with them.

PEP, which ran the researchusing its free messaging service,says 66 % of parents would liketheir schools to help them payless for uniforms by standardi-sing the uniform – i.e. a whiteshirt, grey trousers/skirt insteadof clothing in special colours –and 56 % of parents said it wouldbe easier to manage if everyonehad the same uniform style.

As the country’s largest school-wear retailer, PEP was pleased tosee that parents are generallywell-informed about their rights:the majority (70 %) of respon-dents know it is against the lawfor any school to turn away achild for not wearing the schooluniform, but an astonishing 59 %of people said they know of an in-cident where a child’s been tur-ned away from school for not wea-ring the correct uniform - thiswould be against the law).

Sixty-two percent of the sampleis aware that the government has

produced guidelines for a stan-dard school uniform (and per-haps this is also why they wouldlike schools to opt for a less expen-sive uniform). While 63 % saidtheir school already helps themby selling second-hand uniforms,over half the sample (of morethan 100 000 people) said theywould like their school to helpthem more with selling second-hand uniforms.

The findings also reveal key be-havioural buying patterns bycash-strapped parents: nearlythree-quarters of parents giveBTS items to their kids for Christ-mas (72 %); they also start plan-ning and saving for BTS long be-fore Christmas (63 %) and rese-arch prices and promotionsahead of time (54 %).

Quality is very important to pa-rents when selecting uniforms(69 %) – one reason for this couldbe that they pass down uniformswithin their family (66 %) andeven more so to their friends’children (70 %). Half of all respon-dents buy schoolwear and shoesa size bigger to allow their kids togrow into them and 70 % say theyspend more than R500 a year onschool uniforms.

Ouerwenke omkinders temotiveerDit is belangrik vir ouers om ’n bydrae te lewer in hul kinders se opvoeding.Tamsyn Coerecius het ouers gevra hoe hulle hul kinders gemotiveerd hou omte studeer. Die ouers het ook hul eie ervaringe gedeel en vir ander ouers ’npaar wenke gegee wat hulle glo werk.

Marius Prins: Ek het vir my 13jarigedogter ’n rekenaar gekoop. Die programme help haar en oefen haar brein omte onthou.

Ayanda Msutwana: My seun is maar nognet in graad 2, maar dis belangrik datouers op ’n jong ouderdom betrokke isby hul kinders se skoolloopbaan. Ekprobeer om te kyk of my seun daaglikssy huiswerk doen. :

Xolisa Domo: My tweeling is 11jaar oud. Elke dag vra ek of hullehuiswerk het en ek laat hulle toeom dit self te doen voordat ekhulle help. Ek herinner hulledaagliks dat daar niks is watmens kan doen sonder akademiese opleiding nie.

Norwood Kotze: Ek het drie kinders van16, 8 en 4. As hulle by die huis kom,doen hulle hul huiswerk. Ek kyk ook nahul dagboeke en help waar ek kan. Hulledoen ook ander aktiwiteite wat die breinstimuleer. Ek wil hê my kinders moet diebeste opvoeding moontlik kry.

Filicia Willemse: Dit is belangrik om metjou kind te kommunikeer sodat probleemareas geïdentifiseer kan word. Asdie probleemareas groot is, moet jy ’nverhouding met die onderwysers bou.Dit is ook belangrik om te bid vir joukind.

Dale Donsett: My dogter is 7 jaaroud en ek probeer om haarhuiswerk “pret” te maak. As sydie ABC leer dan verander ek ditin ’n speletjie en beloon haar assy goed doen. Ek wil dit aanhoudoen as sy ouer is. Kinders voelaltyd gemotiveerd as hulle weethul ouers staan agter hulle.

Christa Bredenhann: Mykinders is 18 en 21. Toehulle klein was, het ekhulle gewys hoe om testudeer. Gewoonlik geeek vir hulle ’n uur naskool om te rus endaarna begin hulle methuiswerk. Ek maak hulleook 5 uur die oggendwakker om te studeer.Hulle weet dat hulpunte belangrik is ashulle verder wil gaanstudeer.

Janine Saul: My seun isses jaar oud en gaannou skool toe, so dis ’ngroot aanpassing virhom en vir my. Hy houvan lees op so ’n jongouderdom. Ek hoop hysal aanhou om daaglikste lees. Dis belangrik omverhoudings metonderwysers en jou kindte bou op ’n akademiese vlak.

’n Gesonde middagete en hap-pies tussenin is baie belangrikvir skoolgaande kinders enhelp met konsentrasie en leer-werk.

Om gesonde veranderinge temaak is nie altyd maklik nie,maar dit help wanneer ouersdie voorbeeld stel.

Dit is ’n goeie idee om kin-ders aan te moedig om deel tewees van die voorbereidings-proses en hulle keuse van ge-sonde kos te maak.

Ses itemswat in ’nkosblik ge-pak kan word vir ’n gebalan-seerde maal is: groente, varsvrugte, suiwel (kaas of jogurt),proteïen (’n skyf maer vleis,hardgekookte eier of boon-tjies), stysel soos brood, ’n rolle-tjie, pita of platbrood of vrugte-brood en water.

Om die kos interessant te houkan jy groentestokkies metdoopsouse inpak, ’n klein bak-kie gemengde groente soos ker-sietamaties, wortelstokkies,spruite of komkommer.

Ouers word gemaan om nievir hul kinders aartappelsky-fies in te pak nie.

Vars of geblikte vrugte in na-tuurlike sap is daaglikse kos.

Droë vrugte is taai en het ’nhoë suikerinhoud en moet liefs

net af en toe, of as deel van ’nmaaltyd, geëet word.

Die beste keuses vir suiwel islaevet-kaasskyfies of blokkiesen ’n natuurlike of vrugtejog-hurt. Dit is ’n goeie idee om diejoghurt te vries wanneer jy ditin die kosblik pak. Teen mid-dagete sal dit gereed wees om teeet.

Melknageregte en gegeurdemelk het ’n hoë suikerinhoud.

Wanneer jy toebroodjies in-pak, gebruik ’n verskeidenheidbrode envulsels, veralwanneerjou kind belangstelling daarinbegin verloor.

’n Paar idees is salm of tunain fonteinwater, laevet-kaas of-smeer, eier, skyfies koue vleissoos ham, kalkoen of hoender,’n boneslaai of gerasperde wor-tel, blaarslaai of tamatie.

As alternatief kan jy pastas-laai met baie rou groente pro-beer, of rys met gestoomdegroente.

Moet liefs nie sjokolade-smeer, konfyt of heuning opbrood smeer nie en vermy ookvetterige vleis soos salami.

As jy beskuitjies of koekieswil inpak, probeer droë vol-graanbeskuitjies of ryskoekiesmet joghurt, hummus of groen-te-doopsouse.

Kies gesond virkind se kosblik

Vars groentestokkies en vrugte met ’n toebroodjie is ’n gesonde opsievir ’n skoolkosblik.

Sights from a different viewpointCity Sightseeing (known for its redopen-top buses) recently launched anew addition to its “red” family offe-ring both tourists and locals a new,more personalised tour around thepeninsula. Jana Bekker and Cecilia Hu-me joined tourguide Eugene Galley fora shortened version of the CitySightseeing Sidecar tour.

I close my eyes and fill my lungs with abreath of fresh sea air, but only for a few se-conds, too afraid tomiss even one of the ama-zing views en route to Chapman’s Peak andSignalHill inCapeTown. For theumpteenthtime this afternoon, I am not disappointed.

I amsurroundedbybeauty inoneof themostpopular cities in the world.Our ride is uber cool too - a Changjiang

CJ750 motorcycle with a sidecar.Cecilia and I met with Eugene in front of

the City Sightseeing kiosk at the V&A Wa-terfront and after discussing a few detailsabout the route and strapping on our hel-mets, the tour starts – one of us in the sidecarand the other on the back of the motorcyclewith Eugene.The trip takes us along Beach Road

through Mouille Point, Three Anchor Bay,Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Clifton.At Maiden’s Cove we pull over to admire

Lion’s Head and after borrowing a box of Li-on matches from some workers in the area,Eugene shows us how this part of the moun-tain deserves its name.The tour then continues through Camps

Bay, past the luxury Twelve Apostles Hoteland famous surfing spot Llundadno en routeto Chapman’s Peak.The road takes us over the famous Suiker-

bossie pass, which is known as the toughestpart of the Cape Argus Cycle race, and I feela renewed bout of respect for the each cyclistwhohas ever conquered this steeppart of theroute.We ride through Hout Bay and up to the

Chapman’s Peak View Point, where we pullover for a while to admire the view and thenswop seats.On our way back, the comforting sea bree-

ze suddenly becomes a bit chillier as we me-ander along the Twelve Apostels mountainrange. Not to worry though, all the sidecarsare equipped with leather jackets, ready tomuzzle the windswept bite that might robyour ride of further enjoyment.We thenheadupSignalHillwhereEugene

shares some long forgottenhistory and someinteresting facts about Cape Town and Rob-ben Island, like the latter being used as a de-

fence and trai-ning facility du-ringWorldWar II.Way back, notlong after the firstsettlers had lan-ded in the Cape,Robben Islandwas used to grazelive stock to pre-vent the indige-nous people, the“Strandlopers”,from stealing thefarmers cattle,Eugene elabora-tes.This is just ano-

ther advantage ofthis tour - yourown personal gui-de ensuring bothan interestingand intimate exchange while getting toknow the Cape Peninsula.And Eugene, who claims to read up on as

much information and history of the Capeashe can find, is full of somevery interestingfacts.“You never know what type of tourist

you’re going to get,” he explains.“The one might want to know about the

Cape’s history, the othermight be interestedin property or even flowers.”Often during the ride he will slow down

for a few seconds to quickly share some in-formation or point out a piece of history.This is Cape Town sightseeing at its best

and the sidecar tour as choice of transportensures that extra exhilaration one requiresevery now and then.The full tour takes you on a journey to Ca-

pe Point via the original route taken by thesettlers and then back via the Atlantic coast

line, including stops at Boulders, CapePoint, the Chapman’s Peak viewpoint and,if you feel like a coffee or drink, in Camp’sBay.The tour takes about five hours and covers

a distance of 150km. There is also a ninetyminute Blouberg Sidecar Tour.Since the Sidecar tour is a private tour it

is essential that you pre-book your adventu-re. Bookings can be done at City SightseeingTour Office outside the Two Oceans Aquari-um, by phone or on-line.For more information or to book visit

The thrill of shark cage divingDespite much controversy, Shark cagediving is often a tourist’s first port ofcall when they arrive in South Africa,and with fully booked tours on a dailybasis, very popular among touristsand locals alike. Cecilia Hume joinedWhite Shark Projects on one of theirtrips to find out what the hype is allabout.

“Go down!” echoes the voice of one of thecrew on White Shark Projects’ orange cata-maran, Shark Team, as he pulls a rope tiedto a few fish heads towards the cage.The five divers inside the cage grab onto

a red bar, take a deep breath and then pullthemselves under the water, pressing theirfaces as close to the front of the cage as theyare comfortable with, to see one of the oce-an’s most amazing creatures nearing the ca-ge in stalk of the bait.On the boat 15 other divers who all paid

for a chance to see a Great White up close,leans over portside to watch the 4m longshark surface as it tries to grab onto the bait.Shrieks of excitement echoes from the ca-

ge as thedivers surface again. “Wow,didyousee how big it was!”The crew member standing at the top of

the cage throws the bait out again to lure theshark back to the cage, while another ischumming the water with the hopes of kee-ping this Great White (and hopefully a fewothers) in the area long enough for all 20 di-vers to see from the cage.“We don’t feed the sharks,” explained the

skipper during his briefing over breakfastearlier in the day. “We are not allowed to,we simply use bait to lure them to the sideof the boat that we are working on.”The day starts out with breakfast atWhite

Shark Lodge, the group’s home base inKleinbaai (twominutes fromGansbaai). For

those who don’t feel like driving all the way,a shuttle service is available from CapeTown and Hermanus. Those who want tomake an adventure of the trip can organisefor helicopter transport from Cape Town.Divers are fully briefed on the day’s pro-

ceedings and safety regulations (and of cour-se there is the indemnity form everybodymakes you sign these days) before taking the100m walk to the small harbour to boardShark Team.Youareonceagain reminded that the crew

have no control over the sharks.“We might see five, we might see nothing,

we also can’t say how long the shark willstay, so when you get your chance to get intothe cage, take it.”If you’re lucky you might get to see more

than just a shark. As Shark Team heads outto sea, two Southern Right Whales maketheir presenceknownby slamming their tailfins down on the water in the distance.The sound of the catamaran’s engines co-

mes to a halt for a few seconds as the skipperanswers his cell phone. A quick conversati-on followswith the skipper onanother sharkboat about to make it back to shore. Thereare sharks, and we can take over their spot.Another five boats, all from the various

other shark cage diving operators in Klein-baai, wait in the vicinity of where SharkTeam finally throws down its anchor.While the crew lowers the cage into the

water and ties it to the boat the first five di-vers start wrestling with their very thickwetsuits, as the skipper points out a sharknext to the boat. On its fin is a tag that lookslike the ones used by the Ocearch team(SharkMen), whowere documenting sharksin the Cape earlier this year.As the first group of divers take their turn,

the excitement starts to build and we’reovercomewithadrenalineby the timeween-ter the cage.With two sharks circling the bo-at at that stage the wait isn’t long. “Godown,” the crewmember’s voice echoes abo-

ve us. And youneed to be quick, becausewit-hin a split second this great white beautyswimspast - a fewcentimetres from the cage.For those few seconds time seems to slow asyou stare in awe. Then it’s back to the sur-face for some air, a short wait, and then youtake the plunge again...After coming face to face with about five

or six different sharks (apparently luck wason our side that day) and everyonewhowan-ted to have a second turn in the cage, SharkTeam starts heading back to shore.The cage is left behind for the next group

of adventure seekers who want to get up clo-se and personal with a shark.Back at the White Shark Lodge a hot bowl

of soup (and other snacks) awaits and the vi-deo that was shot on board Shark Team, isshown. This video can of course be bought.The screening is followed by a brief over-view of the conservation of the Great WhiteShark and how one can get involved.Shark cage diving is a must. If you consi-

der yourself a lover of the ocean or careabout sharks, then this should be one of thetop ten items on your bucket list.White Shark Projects’ standard rate is

Uitstalling wys wonders van die leweDie wêreldberoemde uitstalling vanmenslike lyke, Bodyworlds & The Cy-cle of Life, is tans in die Kaap te sien.Desiree Rorke het gaan inloer.

Leonardo da Vinci sou in sy graf omge-draai het om die wêreldbekende uitstal-ling, Bodyworlds & The Cycle of Life, tesien, en met goeie rede.Net soos duisende Kapenaars oor die

laaste maand gedoen het, dink ek die Re-naissance-meester bekend vir sy eie anato-miese avonture, sou sy wenkbroue lig virdie uitstalling van menslike monsters of

eerder lyke, as jy nou eerlik oor die saakwil wees.Helaas, een van sy eie beroemde anato-

miese sketse vorm deel van die uitstalling,indie afdelingwat spesifiek oor geslagsom-gang gaan.Die uitstalling van sowat 200monsters is

beslis iets wat jy nog nooit gesien het nieen nie sommer gou weer sal sien nie. Ditverander ook die manier hoe jy oor jou eieliggaam dink.Wonderbaarlik, ingewikkeld, maar ook

broos in sy verganklikheid.Die lyke, of liggaamsmonsters, opdieuit-

stalling word deur ’n spesiale proses, ge-naamd plastinasie, gepreserveer nadat dievel verwyder is en dan in interessante le-wensgetroue posisies, amper soos mario-nette, uitgestal word.Jy kan alles sien. Elke spier, been, liga-

ment en aar. Ekhet geensins in enige stadi-um van die uitstalling gewalg gevoel nie,en skaars besef dat dit regte lyke iswathiervoor my hang. Dit was geensins bisar nie,eerder ’n deur wat oopgemaak word na diewonders van die lewe.Dit was vir my asemrowend om te sien

hoe ragfyn die bloedvatstelsel in ons ligga-

me is. Het jy geweet dat die volledie bloed-vatstelsel van die menslike liggaam 96 000km lank is?Dit was ook fassinerend om te sien hoe

die verskillende spiere oormekaar vou. Ekhet veral getalm om te kyk na die spierein die menslike nek en rug, en gewonderhoe dit lykwanneer dit in spasmas vertrekin stresvolle tye.Die swart long van ’n ongelukkige roker

het onseremonieel in ‘n glaskas gelê, en soookdie vergrote lewer van ’n selfvernietig-de drinker…durf ek enigsins meer sê?Die brein, breinstam, hart, en ander or-

gane word ten toon gestel binne en buitedie liggaam, en daar is selfs ’n menslike fe-tus (3 tot 29 weke). Wonderbaarlik, onge-looflik.Amper teen die heel einde van die uit-

stalling was die foto-uitstalling vir my dieheel beste.In ’n stil hoekie, met ’n fontein waarom

voetstoeljies gepak is, hang groot portrettevan ’n unieke groepie aardlinge. Almal veroor ’n honderd jaar oud, verrimpeld, lag-gend en besig met die een of ander aktiwi-teit.Ek is oortuig daarvan dat die skeppers

van die uitstalling die voetstoeltjies juisdaar geplaas het vir besoekers om te sit enoor hul lewens te peins.Wat is dit omtrent die oues van dae wat

so fenomenaal is? Wat is dit wat hulle vanbinne af laat skyn en so onverowerbaarlaat voorkom teen die aanslag van die lewedie wreedheid van siekte, en smart vandie dood? Elk van die foto’s spreek egter ’nduisend boekdele.Die hele skepping wat al 15 jaar lank wê-

reldwyd uitgestal word deur die Europesewetenskaplike pionier, dr. Gunter von Ha-gens, is stof tot nadenke. Nie net oor onsaardse “doppies” nie,maar ook oor die nie-tigheid van die tyd wat ons daarin vertoef.Beslis nie iets ommis te loop nie. Die uit-

stalling duur nog tot 31 Januarie by dieBreakwater Boulevard by die V&A Water-front.Bespreek by www.webtickets.co.za. Be-

soek ook die Bodyworlds-webblad virmeerinligting.Die Bodyworlduitstalling tans in Kaapstad is uitsonderlik en opvoedkundig.

Between 5pm and 9pm, Geyserand Pool pump are not welcomePlease switch them off

Between 5pm and 9pm electricity usage peaks when people return home after work. They start cooking, watching TV and

bathing. All of this leads to a large demand on our limited power supply. A geyser can consume up to 39% of household power,

whereas a pool pump can use up to 11%. Please help us reduce the pressure on the national grid by switching off your geyser

Surf instructor MikhailThompson cheers as RiaSmith stands up on herboard for the first time.

Learningthe joysof surfing

So the holiday is nearing an end, youhave perfected your tan and lying onthe beach is just no fun any more. Ormaybe you are just looking for somelast fun holiday activity... Why not takea few surfing lessons? Cecilia Humeand Ria Smith took a lesson fromMikhail Thompson at Son Surf Schoolin Strand to find out if it really is as“easy” as it looks.

Learning to surf has always been a dream,but with growing up in the Platteland it wasout of the question since a few weeks at thebeach a year just didn’t seem like enoughtime.So of course when a recent opportunity

arose for a lesson it was grabbed hands on.

It was a sunny, yet windy day in Strandas we pulled on the wetsuits provided by thesurf school. Then with two really big surf-boards (“it’s easier to learn on a biggerboard”,Mikhail ensured us) under our armswe strolled down to the beach.The lesson was not at all what we had ex-

pected... Picture something out of a moviescene, a whole lot of surfboards lined up onthe beach, surfing students on top jumpingup learning how to stand and balance on theboard. Well, this is not at all what we got.It never even crossed mymind that by the

end of the first lesson we’d be standing upon our boards in thewater, even if itwas justfor a few seconds.The lesson started with Mikhail explain-

ing safety in the water and the dynamics of

the board, then drawing surfboard shapeson the sand and explaining how to balanceyour board while lying down since lying toofar forward will push down the nose and ly-ing too far backwill have the opposite effect.Then it was off to the water to catch a few

waves lying down.Back on the beach, on our imaginary surf-

boards on the sand, came the standingup les-sons, but after jumping up from lying downand also from our knees and also perfectingthe stance, it was back to the water to catcha wave.It’s a lot more difficult than it looks, but

easier than expected. The trick behind it isspeed and understanding that the water ac-tually helps you balance. If you’re going tooslow, you are going to fall. Taking too long

to stand up will have the same effect.After quite a few tries and plenty of falls,

the few seconds standing were pure bliss,and then the board slipped out from undermy feet and my body hit the water.So, from thinking a fewweeks at the beach

a year is not enough time to bother, to learn-ing how to stand up on a board in little lessthan an hour... Maybe after a few more les-sons, investing in a surfboard and wetsuitmight after all be a good idea.Son Surf School can be found both in
