FROM THE RECTOR’S DESKBeste Ouers

Ons het ten spyte van die beperkings wat die bestuur van Covid19-protokolle op ons geplaas het, ‘n uiters suksesvolle eerste kwartaal beleef. Die feit dat ons seuns elke dag kon skool toe kom en daar min onderbrekings was, het genoegsame akademiese tyd geskep. Ons is dankbaar dat sport- en kultuuraktiwiteite weer kon begin en sekere kompetisies, byeenkomste en wedstryde in die eerste kwartaal kon plaasvind.

Die wintersportprogram het met volle ywer begin en ‘n paar hokkie-oefenwedstryde het al plaasgevind. Our u14A, u14B, u16A and u19A hockey teams are taking part in the Cape Town Premier League event over the holidays to be hosted at Constantiaberg Hockey Club in Cape Town from 23 – 26 April. Our u16B, u16C and u19C teams are taking part in the Paarl Gymnasium Festival from 26 – 28 April.

Die nie-kontakrugbyoefeninge kon op op 22 Februarie begin en kontakrugbyoefeninge het op 27 Maart begin.Die eerste rugbywedstryde vind op Vrydag, 23 April, teen Boland Landbouskool plaas.

The winter season is one that calls for great commitment and for all involved to consider the interests of the school and the team. Please do not book tentist or doctor appointments, or arrange for extra lessons on practice days. Let asseblief daarop dat daar elke naweek in die wintersportseisoenwedstryde gespeel word. Ons vra dus dat ouers asseblief nie reëlings tref om vir naweke weg te gaan nie.

VerwelkomingOns verwelkom die volgende personeellede by die PRG-familie:

mev. Hestelize Ross, Afrikaans Huistaal Graad 8 en Afrikaans EAT Grade 8 – 10.me. Luna Paige, deeltydse Bemarkingsondersteuning en Borgverhoudinge. Die deeltydse pos word befonds deur die PRG 150 Trust.

Ons wens die nuwe personeellede ‚n gelukkige verbintenis met PRG toe.

The major areas of concern at the moment are:• Learners who use earphones to and from school, and• Incorrect book bags and sport bags are still being used.

Ons versoek ouers om ons te ondersteun en sodoende te verseker dat die Paul Rooser altyd ‘n jongman is waarop ons almal trots is.

VorderingsverslaePaul Roosers het hul kwartaal- en vorderingsverslae ontvang. Ons wens diegene geluk wat goed presteer het of na die beste van hul vermoë presteer het. Ons vertrou dat die ander leerders stappe sal neem vir beter uitslae volgende kwartaal. The mark indicated in each subject is based on a number of tests and assignments that have been completed during the first term.

Projekte• Die JF Marais-mediasentrum sal teen die einde van April voltooi wees. Ons is opgewonde ten opsigte van die bydra van

hierdie fasiliteit tot die ontwikkeling en blootstelling van die Paul Rooser. Die fasiliteit sal deur René Walsh wat reeds in Januarie by ons aangesluit het, bestuur word. Kliek hier.

• Die ou motorhuiskompleks langs Novakoshuis word tans omskep in ‘n klein koshuis, Secunda, wat 18 seuns en ‘n diensdoenende onderwyser sal huisves. Vanaf die derde kwartaal sal Secunda bewoon word.

• Op die sonwyser in Gimnasiumplein sal die name aangebring word van alle akademiese personeel wat in diens oorlede is. Die sonwyser is in lyn met die Tuin van Herinnering.

• Die badkamers van Primakoshuis sal vanjaar opgradeer word. Verder beoog ons om die laaste kamers in Nova wat nog nie opgradeer is nie, te voltooi.

• Die bouprojek van die binnenshuise krieketsentrum maak goeie vordering en sal teen die einde van Julie voltooi wees. Die sentrum bestaan uit drie snelboullane, een draaiboullaan en twee balmasjienlane.

Finansiering van Remgro, die Universiteit van Stellenbosch en Paul Roos Gimnasium het hierdie projek moontlik gemaak. The centre will also form part of the main cricket field which will give The Oval an unique cricket stadium feel. Die ou sintetiese oefennette is afgebreek en vervang met vyf nuwe sintetiese nette en die ou turfnette sal vervang word met vier nuwe turfnette. Deel van die beplanning is ook om die nette langs Piet Retiefstraat op te gradeer. These facilitieswill enable us to run a constructive cricket programme.

• Ons vergroot in die Julievakansie drie van ons kleiner klaskamers in die LPR-gebou. Die projek is finansieel moontlik gemaak deur die PRG 150 Trust.

My School CardEvery year, Paul Roos raises a substantial amount from parents swiping their “My School Card”. We would like to thank all of you and encourage you to continue helping the school in this way. Every swipe counts.

KULTUUR

Daar’s ’n slang in die gras in die blommewinkel om die hoek … ’n Slang? Dalk onheilspellender … Maar wat kan so onthutsend wees omtrent ’n eksotiese klein plantjie … of ’n tandheelkundige … Glo dit egter of nie, maar dit is juis aan hierdie twee trawante dat Little Shop of Horrors sy titel te danke het. Dinge gaan maar broekskeur in meneer Mushnik se besigheid: die blomme het hul blos verloor en hy maak geensins meer geld soos bossies nie. Sy assistente, Audrey, verlep daagliks vanweë ’n uitbuitende verhouding en Seymour wat alles in die winkel moet laat blink se oë verdof omdat Audrey blind is vir sy sjarme

Alles verander in ’n lelike ding … toe ’n plant met ’n eetlus vir bloed … sy kop uitsteek. Hierdie musiekblyspel gee al sedert die jare 80 gehore wêreldwyd hoendervleis en maagpyn van die lag. Op 11, 12 en 13 Mei 2021 trek dit ’n plaaslike baadjie in die Japie Krige-saal aan. Kaartjies is aanlyn by Quicketbeskikbaar. Waag dit om verskrik en vermaak te word…

DEBATPaul Roos het op Woensdag, 14 April, die eerste Paul Roos Interskole Debatsliga aangebied.

Die Wes-Kaap se top sewe debatskole, onder andere DF Malan en Bloemhof, het deelgeneem.

Daar was 28 spanne en altesaam 84 leerders wat tydens die onvoorbereide debatte kom bewys het dat hulle op hul voete kan dink of sink oor, of Suid-Afrika slegs een amptelike taal behoort te hê en, of Suid-Afrika gekwalifiseerde stemreg moet instel.

Baie geluk aan Paul Roos se juniorspan en drie seniorspanne wat almal teen Boishaai skoonskip gemaak het.

Die volgende ronde vind op 19 Mei plaas.

YOUNG SCIENTIST

SEMPER SPLENDIDIOR

Alexander van der Merwe will be representing South Africa in the 2021 Virtual RegeneronInternational Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the United States.

Alexander investigated whether people could differentiate between computer-generated and human art and has been selected to represent South Africa in the 2021 Virtual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the United States.

Alexander was inspired by an artwork produced by a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) computer algorithm, entitled Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy, which sold for a staggering $432 500 (about R6,3 million at the time) at a Christie’s art auction in New York in October 2018. Thousands of artistic images are fed into the GAN network to “train” it to produce artistic images that are so realistic, it is difficult to tell it apart from human artwork.

“I am really interested in Artificial Intelligence, and when I read about an artwork produced by a computer selling for $432 500 at an art auction, I thought, can it therefore be that computers can use artificial intelligence to have an imagination – a characteristic that only humans should have? Answering this question has far reaching implications for how we view computers’ role in society,” said Van der Merwe.

Alexander explored whether machine learning algorithms can create art that is imaginative and creative enough to fool people into believing that the art was created by a human, using a sample size of 480 participants.

Eskom Expo Academic Director Krishnie Naidoo explained that the young scientist researched a very topical field that is rapidly expanding in the age of Artificial Intelligence – machine learning.

Page 15: OMSENDBRIEF KWARTAAL 1 CIRCULAR TERM1 2021

YOUNG SCIENTIST

SEMPER SPLENDIDIOR

“AI is no longer about programming robots to do household chores. Alexander has ventured into the lesser known field of machine learning for the creative arts. Can computers learn how to reproduce human art through a set of algorithms or can human art only be created by humans? Is creativity exclusively a human competence? Can humans tell the difference between human art and computer-generated art? Will machine learning alter our constructs of the fine arts, which are humans expressing creativity, emotion, skill, and intelligence? This also has implications for the creative arts as a multi-billion dollar industry. Hence the significance of Alexander’s research goes far beyond just machine learning and art,” said Naidoo.

Eskom General Manager of Risk and Sustainability, Andrew Etzinger, said: “Eskom supports Eskom Expo for Young Scientists in highlighting the emerging trend of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM), due to the natural and mutually beneficial relationship between science and the arts. This was explored by Alexander’s understanding of both machine learning and the creative arts, as he sets out to represent the country in the largest science fair in the world, Regeneron ISEF”.

The Regeneron ISEF event will occur in the week of 16 to 21 May 2021, and learners in grades 9 to 12 will compete for nearly R73 million in awards, prizes and scholarships. Each year, more than 1 800 young scientists from around the world earn the right to compete at Regeneron ISEF by winning a top prize at a Society for Science-affiliated local, regional, state or national science fair.

SOCIETASSocietas is back in full swing! Die Paul Roosers het hierdie

kwartaal nie net die sonskyn geniet terwyl hulle hul tyd

opgeoffer het om hulle gemeenskapsdiens te doen nie, maar

het ook terselfdertyd hulle gemeenskapsure en Superman-

balkies verdien. Learners tackled trash this term by taking part

in our weekly river clean-up, and we headed out to Strand to

pick up litter on the beach. Die Graad 10-leerders het

ook vanjaar se eerste waarderingsprojek aangepak. Gift

hampers were made and donated to the brave men

and women of Stellenbosch Fire and Rescue. 'n Nuwe projek is

ook hierdie kwartaal saam met Boots for

Life geloods. Learners donated their second-hand togs and

athletic shoes to this worthy cause that aims to make a

difference in the lives of underprivileged athletes. ’n Groot

dankie aan almal wat gehelp en bygedra het tot die sukses van

al hierdie projekte.

ATLETIEKMet 'n verkorte program weens COVID-19 moes daar buite die boks gedink word

en die graad 8's het hulle eie atletiekdag by die skool en Markötter gehad. Hierdie

was 'n geleentheid om verborge talente te ontdek en ook vir die afrigters om

die hoë kaliber atlete te identifiseer. Daar is by die HJS Top Seuns byeenkoms

deelgeneem en 3 uit die 4 toekennings vir individuele prestasies is deur PRG-

atlete gewen. Oliver Reid, Joshua Acker en Jared Africa het die aand

behoorlik gewys waartoe hulle in staat is.

Daar is 8 PRG-atlete vir die Bolandspan by ASA-kampioenskappe gekies wat

tussen 7 en 11 April by Dal Josaphat Stadium, Paarl gehou is.

SKAAKWe successfully hosted two tournaments:COVID-19 Chess Challenge which was hosted on 27-28 February 2021 at Markötter, was a huge success. We had to adhere to strict lockdown level 3 restrictions. Eighteen Paul Roosers participated in this tournament. The Elite-section was fiercely contested with Alexander Van der Merwe in third place. The Prestige-section was one of the strongest fields seen lately in the u/15 rating band, with Philip Coetzee winning this section. Third place was awarded to Dawid Nieuwoudt and Markus Nel in fourth place.

Die Weskaap Geslote kampioenskap is op 27 – 28 Maart gehou. Alexander van der Merwe het met ‘n sterk vertoning die vierde plek behaal en is ook as die beste junior in die kampioen-afdeling aangewys. Dawid Nieuwoudt het die Prestige-afdeling, met ‘n telling van 6 uit 6 gewen.

WATER POLOAs a result of Covid 19 related restrictions, it was very difficult to get any formal school water polo training and matches going in the first term. However, members of the PRG water polo teams were able to start their pre-season training on 15 January under the club banner. This was a legal alternative offered via Swimming South Africa, the sport’s national governing body.

While it was not possible to play inter schools games, various teams were lucky enough to be involved in various friendly club matches. This gave the boys something to train for during the week and enabled them to enhance their skills. The term culminated in the u19A side being invited to the St Andrews shield club tournament where we participated as The Winelands Schools Water Polo Club. This enabled the team to get in seven competitive matches over the weekend, a great opportunity to continue to learn and grow. The team ended in 5th place.

We are forever hopeful that we will have a school season towards the end of the third term and as such, have commenced with our winter water polo programme. Hopefully the opportunity will present itself to participate again as a school and measure ourselves against the best teams in the country.

SWIMMING

Whilst we weren’t able to have any inter school

galas due to Covid, the PRG swim team has

been training hard boosting its largest numbers

in resent years. This, accompanied by a great

set of results at the recent SA senior and junior

nationals, indicates that swimming at PRG is

healthy and competitive. We are ever hopeful

for future galas later in the year.
