TEMA VAN DIE JAAR / THEME OF THE YEAR:

LEEF EG EN REG BE REAL, LIVE RIGHT

16

Dear Parents / Geagte Ouers Verlede week was ‘n baie intense week waar baie dinge gebeur het en ek het oor die naweek gesukkel om sin te maak van

alles wat in en om die skool en daar buite aangaan. Oor sommige goed kan ek nie in die brief kommunikeer nie.

The death of the young boy at Edgemead Primary during school hours shocked everyone to the core. This could have

happened at any school. In contrast to this we have parents complaining about our security at school (after school) being

too strict. This with reference to adults and learners in our Grade 1 play area after school. (We will be handing over letters

to individual parents disregarding our pleas in this regard. We have certain rules dictated by the Department of

Education).

Ook het ons Vrydagmiddag afskeid geneem van Marilee Louw. Dominee Why Duvenhage het ‘n treffende boodskap

gelewer waar hy opsommend afgesluit het met drie hoofgedagtes; Liefde; Vergifnis en Hoop.

During the sermon I struggled to compute the difference between the sorrow and loss of those parents and the trivia with

which we as a staff were busy with during the week.

There are always valid complaints and we do our utmost to address them, but with some of these complaints I could just

shake my head and question the frame of mind of some of our parents as to what is really important:

Team selection – everyone suddenly becomes an expert;

Some parents want us to have competitive teams/sport and others demand rotation in all our teams;

Some want our rugby teams to practice on Friday afternoons and Saturday afternoons;

Someone even suggested that a school is defined by how well its rugby teams do!!

Na al die “GERAAS” van die afgelope week staan ‘n klein, fyn Graad 7 dogter (Janika Smith) aan die einde van die

begrafnisdiens op en lewer ‘n roerende huldeblyk aan haar maatjie van etlike jare. Ek was verstom oor die volwassenheid

en inhoud van haar boodskap. Die rustigheid en beheer waarmee sy die toesprakie gelewer het, het my diep geraak. Dit

was duidelik dat sy baie emosioneel was, maar sy kon die toespraak tot aan die einde met oortuiging lewer.

I felt extremely proud of her and I realized that our learners have a lot of emotions which we, as adults, often disregard. I

also realized that we (I) should listen and engage more with our Grade 7 learners. They have so much to offer and we do

not always engage with them enough. I learnt a lot from this one speech.

Ek wil daarom vandag (met Janika se toestemming) haar toesprakie met u deel. Dit was ‘n pragtige getuienis van ‘n mooi

vriendskap.

2 Junie 2017

Tannie Melanie, Oom Marinus, Tiaan en elkeen hier vanmiddag

Ek ken vir Marilee van 2010 af waar ons saam in die Oranjeklas was. Ons het graad 1 saam begin by juffrou Eloise. Marilee

het op haar stil, sterk manier ons hele klas bewus gemaak van haar. Ons het saam gevorder tot in graad 7 waar sy in

Februarie vanjaar langs my gesit het tot die laaste dag wat sy skool bygewoon het.

Sy het eenkeer vir my hierdie kettinkie gegee met die sleuteltjie. Min het ek toe verstaan dat Marilee in die 13 jaar, 1 maand

en 9 dae vir ons die boodskap uitgelewe het om jou lewe oop te sluit en elke liewe gawe wat jy ontvang het, ten volle te

ontgin.

Ons besef dat ons net een keer die pad deur die lewe kan stap, Marilee het 'n roete gestap wat vir die meeste van ons laat

opkyk het, ons het baie vir haar hande geklap tydens saal periodes. Ons was lief vir Marilee, ons graad 7’s het 'n Ever

hartjie gevorm vir haar 13de verjaardag . Sy het op vele terreine uitgeblink, toekennings gekry en ALTYD haar heel beste

gegee wanneer sy iets aangepak het. Marilee was 'n dapper en ware Ever.

Marilee het Maandagaand haar aardse roete klaar gestap, ons is hartseer maar haar gees het diep spore in ons harte gelos

en sal in elkeen van ons voortleef tot ons haar eendag weer ontmoet.

Ons het nie vandag woorde om haar ouers, boetie en familie te troos nie, maar Marilee sou sekerlik wou hê dat ons dankie

moet sê aan julle vir al die aanmoediging langs die sportveld, ure langs die swembad, ook langs haar hospitaalbed en bo

alles die tere liefde waarmee sy elke dag versorg is.

Ons groet Marilee met die wete dat sy na ons kyk en vir ons wil sê: “Die paradys is nie op die aarde nie...!!

Leef voluit elke dag en maak die beste gebruik van elke geleentheid. Jy leef net een keer!”

Dankie Janika. Marilee was wel vir ons almal ‘n voorbeeld en sy het voluit gelewe. So sluit ons dan ‘n hoofstuk af en sy sal

lank in die EVERHARTE onthou word as ‘n ware vegter.

Good luck to all our Grade 4-7 learners with the coming exams. Learn you work in advance, stay calm and give good

feedback on what you have learnt.

Kind regards

PARENT SUPPORT MEETING

Exam Time – Take Anxiety out of the Exams

DATUM: Donderdag, 8 Junie 2017

TIME: 18:30

PLEK: Oink – Laerskool Eversdal

SPEAKER: Dr Hessie Traut

KUNSKLAS / ART ROOM

Die IFSEN-Kunsklas is dringend op soek na plastieksakke (bv. P’nP/ Clicks) en bokse (bv. papbokse of groter) vir die maak van maskers en weefwerk. Alle bydraes sal waardeer word. The IFSEN-Art Room is in need of plastic shopping bags (eg. P’nP/ Clicks) and boxes (eg. cereal boxes or bigger) for the making of masks and weaving. All contributions will be much appreciated.

Die kunsklas gebruik BAIE herwinde papier. Bladsye waarop eenkant gedruk is, en gewoonlik herwin sal word, kan gerus eers ʼn draai

hier by ons in die kunsklas kom maak. Ons sal weer herwin.

SAFETY ON THE SCHOOL PREMISES

There are still children who loiter around the school in the afternoon after school. These children are usually in the Foundation Phase play

area OR in the area in front of the offices. At times, we also find adults in these areas.

We are not being discourteous by asking these individuals to leave these areas. It is our responsibility to create a safe environment for our

children and this is why we cannot allow adults in the abovementioned areas. WE DO NOT ALWAYS KNOW WHO THESE INDIVIDUALS

ARE.

The abovementioned areas (in front of the offices and the Foundation Phase play area) are reserved for the use of the AFTERCARE

LEARNERS, after school hours.

We also remind our parents that children at the waiting area must be collected at the sport fields, if for some reason you cannot pick

your child up directly (10-15min) after school. Your children will be very safe at this designated area:

- It is very visible there; - The hockey field is brightly lit (if dark); - The guard is always on duty at the gate; - There are also cameras in/on the area.

We kindly request your co-operation – our children’s safety is of utmost importance to us.

EVER NEWS NETWORK - EVERNUUS NETWERK

EVERNUUS NETWERK, of ENN, is ‘n nuuskolom op ons webtuiste wat tans deur gr.7-leerders bedryf word. Die doel van hierdie

nuuskolom is om vir die leerders ‘n forum te skep waar hulle hulle belewenis van die aktiwiteite by die skool, en van hulle k inderwêreld

op sosiale media, kan deel. Hulle gaan nie noodwendig alles wat in die skool gebeur, kan dek nie, maar sal poog om hierdie netwerk so

lewendig moontlik te hou. Hierdie is ‘n kindgedrewe projek.

Mr Gys Burger, Mr Kelvin Stoman and the learners launched this project earlier this year. It is presently in its developmental phase and

will develop over the coming months. We plan to involve learners, with potential, from other grades as too.

We are all very excited to see how the children’s skills, and with it ENN develop over time. Come on EVERS, support these young and

upcoming journalists and visit this news column regularly!

Die finaal sal in Augustus by ATKV Goudini plaasvind.

SANDWICH PROJECT:

For Mandela Day, we are going to support Klipheuwel Primary by giving them sandwiches on 29 June. All children in grades 4 to 7 are

to bring an extra sandwich to school that day, wrapped in cellophane or plastic. Due to allergies, no sandwiches with spreads

containing nuts will be accepted. Meer inligting sal later gegee word. Let’s help feed those in need!
