Sorry for party rocking

There are very few things that separate the ins from the outs. The ins are those who inherit popular-ity and those that are just social butter� ies. The outs are those who walk in the shadows and imagine

what it’s like to be on the inside, even just for a day.It’s not that di� cult to be one of the “populars” but it comes at a cost. Almost anyone can do it if they are willing to be a clone of someone on the inside. Most of the time it’s as easy as rocking up at the hottest party, with free drinks for everyone and you’re in. A couple of months later you’re no longer the sweet, pretty girl at a couple of parties, you’re the life of the party at every single get together. This is what we see in al-most every single movie. The ugly duckling turns into the socialite and gets the guy. THE END.They don’t often show us what happens after the champagne showers and hangovers. We don’t see the part where the pretty girl’s life starts to revolve around the

parties. They never tell us about when she becomes addicted to the feeling of being loved by everyone and would do everything to keep it. Before she knows it, she’s the poster girl for drugs and arrives drunk and passes out before the party has even started. Suddenly she’s nobody. The friends are gone and no one sees her pret-tiness anymore... It’s not the per-fect movie ending. It’s real life. You can’t live a fast and crazy life and expect to have a bright future, be-cause you’ll change before you get there. Don’t let society fool you, know who you are right now and what you stand for. There is a time and place for everything and the aim is not to lose yourself along the way. Why would you want to � t in when you were born to stand out?

Aaahhh! Okay,I’m not sure how that � rst word is sup-posed to be spelt. I couldn’t � nd it in my English diction-ary. Browsing my online dictionary was futile and my English-Afrikaans translator was just as useless as my English-Sepedi in-terpreter. I didn’t Google it, because I wanted to avoid references to thrillers rated 18 (with the whole alphabet next to the 18). Aaahh! is a word everyone understands; in all languages. We can iden-tify ourselves with the aahh! feeling; the terrible, terrifying, tormenting moment right before we ahhh! What is the thing that triggers ahh! the easiest for you? Maybe it’s when the opposing school scores a goal and you knów you could’ve prevented it. Or when your parents give you beef for mistreating your younger siblings when it is those siblings that won’t leave yóú alone. Exam results? Probably. For me, a mirror prompts an aaaahhh! moment easily. No, not a normal mirror. The other mirror at the backside of the normal mirror. The one that magni� es your face into ten times its natural size. Whoever came up with that atrocity should be locked in a room made from magnifying mirrors; where they can regret all the bad days that they’ve created for mankind. Firstly, those mirrors are highly inaccurate. They make you feel bad about yourself by showing you things that no one can see. I looked into one recently and I saw a few ants in my eyebrows. Seriously. Magnifying mirrors deceive you into believing that the few zits that you have are going to repulse everyone around you. Like you have deeper, more prominent wrinkles than your peers; as if your entire face is out of porportion. They make you feel old. Ugly. Like a freak. KWA! Ting-ling-ling. That was the sound of my mag-nifying glass hitting the wall. That bully is out of my life. Why? Because you shouldn’t let anything (or an-yone)tell you that you’re not worthy. You are beauti-ful in every single way. No matter what they say, their words shouldn’t bring you down because you were made wonderfully. Fearfully and purposefully. The goodness in the moon, stars and sun resides within you and that makes you enough. Realising this comes with taking that magnifying glass and smashing it against the hardest rock you can � nd. Or just cover it with duck tape to avoid injuries. Essentially,

you need to get rid of everything in your life that brakes you down. Positivity is golden.How you see and think

about yourself is what matters, because the greatest love of all is

learning to love yourself. Hey, why has the spelling of ahhhh! changed

so many times? I should decide on an o� cial spelling: A!aaahhh!A (noun) the

feeling of wanting the earth to open up and swallow you as soon as possible...

Budding scientists can start get-ting ready for National Science Week from Monday (30 July) until 5 August.

This initiative by the Depart-ment of Science and Technol-ogy (DST) is a countrywide cel-ebration of science, involving businesses, universities, science centres, schools and astronomy clubs, as well as other stakehold-ers.

The South African Agency for

Science and Technology Ad-vancement (SAASTA) has been assigned to coordinate this e� ort in promoting public awareness of science, engineering and tech-nology (SET), as well as stimula-ting and increasing the interest of SET among learners, educators and the general public at various venues in all nine of the provin-ces.

The theme of this year’s science week is “The Role of Science in Economic Development”, and with South Africa now a major role player in the building and operation of the Square Kilome-

tre Array (SKA) telescope, the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to be construct-ed in the Karoo region, presenta-tions and hand-out material on the SKA will feature prominently.

The Soutpansberg Astronomy Club (SAC) in Makhado is proud to be associated with this initia-tive by the Department of Science and Technology to include as-tronomy during the week’s cele-brations and will conduct a road show of astronomy-related activi-ties, which will include informa-tion and presentations on South Africa’s involvement in the SKA.

Interested parties, including schools, education facilities, sci-ence centres, shopping centres and clubs, can contact Mr Kos Coronaios on 079 148 4934 or by email at elephantcastle@lantic.net to discuss astronomy-related activities they may wish to host during the science week. These activities include solar viewing during the day, building of moon scopes and southern star wheels, information on the SKA, astrono-my displays and related talks and stargazing.

Matrics have to make numerous stressful de-cisions during their last year at school, and they are often neither equipped nor able to access concise and accurate information which will have an extended impact on their lives.

One of these decisions — whether to study at a college, university or private higher-edu-cation institution — can be particularly baf-� ing. Especially when students continue to be confronted by myths such as that certain kinds of institutions are inherently “better” or guarantees employment upon completion of studies.

Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of the Inde-pendent Institute of Education, says choos-ing where to study is a personal decision that must be taken with care, as the various insti-tutions are not interchangeable and one size does not � t all.

“When you are making a decision about what to study and where, it is important to note that there is a wide range of di� erent op-portunities and that the decision is ultimately a personal one.

“You need to consider what you need, what you can a� ord and what you would prefer to get from a learning space, and then choose your institution accordingly.”

Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande recently encouraged matric-ulants to not only think of universities when looking at furthering their studies, but to con-sider all the di� erent opportunities available to them, within the post-school education and training system.

“Our youth must start realising that our post-school education and training system o� ers far more options than just what our univer-sities have traditionally o� ered,” he told the class of 2011.

Coughlan welcomed the increased focus on options outside the traditional o� ering. However she reiterated the minister’s words of caution that students must ensure they are signing up to a reputable institution – whether public or private - that meets their speci� c needs, to avoid losing precious time and money.

“Always ensure that the institution is regis-tered with the Department of Higher Educa-tion and Training, but also speak to students and investigate the reputation of an institu-tion before committing money and time,” she says.

Faced with the ba� ing choice of post-matric institutions available, Coughlan says the fol-lowing needs to be understood:

1) There are two key institutional types available to prospective students:

a) Public institutions (subsidised by the state)

b) Private institutions (no state sub-sidy)

2) Both the public and private sectors also host two di� erent kinds of institutions:

a) Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges

• Qualifi cations are linked to a specif-ic range of jobs or employment possibilities, for instance from beauty therapy through plumbing to IT and business studies

• Currently qualifi cations normally go no higher than NQF level 4, and are not part of an academic route leading to higher educa-tion

b) Higher education institutions• Qualifi cations such as degrees, cer-

tifi cates and diplomas from NQF 5 to 10• Only public institutions are allowed

call themselves universitiesin South Africa - Private higher education institutions can of-

fer the exact same range of quali� cations up to doctoral degree level, but may not use the term “university”

• Private and public higher education institutions are subject to the same regulation and quality assurance

“Each institution – whether public or private, FET College or higher education institution – has a character and focus of its own,” says Coughlan.

“Several are generalist and you can follow a range of study options, while others are very niche and focused and o� er a limited range of specialist quali� cations.”

Prospective students, once they have de-cided what they want to study, must look at which institution best caters to their chosen � eld of interest, she says.

“Facilities di� er based on a range of factors – there are less likely to be science laboratories in a business school and many private institu-tions are not able to a� ord large sport � elds so work with sports clubs to o� er students a work–social balance,” she says.

“Class sizes vary too from institution to in-stitution and while classes in private institu-tions are normally smaller, this is not always the case.

“It is thus imperative that when you are mak-ing a decision about what to study and where, that you recognise that there is a matrix of opportunity available to you. The decision is ultimately a personal one, based on what you need, what you can a� ord and what you would prefer to get from a learning space.

”These are the considerations that should guide your decision on where to study – not myths and preconceived positions from peo-ple who have not fully explored the range of options and are advocating only what is al-ready known to them.”

One of the biggest life choices is currently staring Gr 9 learners in the face: se-lecting the subjects they will sit at the National Senior Certi� cate exams in 2015. While making this choice is exceptionally hard, it will have a far-reaching impact on the rest of learners’ lives and must be taken with care, an education expert warns.

Dr Felicity Coughlan points out that at � fteen, most young people struggle to commit to weekend plans, never mind making deci-sions that could alter the course of their lives.

But she says that the deci-sion has to be made, and made properly. Below, she provides advice and guide-lines on how to go about making one of the most important decisions most learners will face in their lives.

For more information or comment, please contact Dr Coughlan at the Indepen-dent Institute of Education on 011 676 8021, or mail vg-ray@iie.ac.za or ella@lange.co.za .

Consider the destination and work back from there: “Most young people will want to achieve a mat-ric pass that will let them study towards a degree, and some will have aspira-tions for degrees that are very strict about the sub-jects you must take and how well you must do. If you are sure about what you want to do, you must study University and pri-vate college websites to determine their require-ments, and let this guide your subject choices,” says Coughlan.

For those who are not yet 100% sure about what they want to be when they grow up, Coughlan sug-gests making choices that will keep a wide range of options open.

“There is a list of desig-nated subjects which are the ones that higher edu-cation institutions require for admission. Ensure that all your subjects are drawn from that list, unless you are absolutely sure you want to pursue a career that won’t require higher education,” she says.

Gateway subjects leave more routes open: “Gate-way subjects are ones such as Maths and Science, which keep your post-mat-ric options open because so many areas of further study require them. If you struggle in these areas, consider keeping only one of them, preferably Maths. If you really have no apti-tude, and your best e� orts to master this � eld have not paid o� , then opt for Maths Literacy. But remem-ber that your choices will then be limited, as many degrees require that you have passed Maths.”

What makes you happy? What do you dream of do-ing with your life? “Con-sider taking those subjects that match your career dreams and include them,” says Coughlan.

“Also, choose at least two subjects that you really en-joy and in which you can do well – even if your friends think those are not ‘cool’ or ‘real’ subjects. Remember that admission to higher education is performance-based, so it makes sense to do very well in some subjects rather than badly in all of them because you chose only gateway sub-jects.

“For example, if you know you will need Maths but are struggling with it, it may make sense not to do Science and instead to do a subject that requires less mathematics, such as His-tory, so that you can raise your overall point score.

This will also help to reduce your stress and enable you to give more time to Maths so that you can do better.”

Bring on the real world! “Not everyone will want to pursue a degree after matric, and making subject choices will be more � ex-ible for these learners,” says Coughlan.

“The South African Na-tional Senior Certi� cate has four levels of pass. One of them is the degree pass, but you could also qualify for diploma or higher cer-ti� cate study. These two quali� cations, which are normally vocationally or career-focused, could give you access straight to the world of work and even de-gree study if you wanted to do this later.

“There are also options in public and private FET Colleges, or you may even want to start your own business.

“In these cases a pass that enables access to higher education may not be as important, and it makes sense to include subjects with a business or compu-ter basis.”

Remember: “Keep your options as wide open as you can for as long as you can, so that if your needs and interests and aspira-tions change by the time you are 17, you are not boxed into a corner by the decisions you made today,” Coughlan says.

• The Indepen-dent Institute of Educa-tion (IIE) is the largest and most accredited registered private education insti-tute in South Africa. It has a history in education and training since 1909. The IIE o� ers a wide range of quali� cations, from post-graduate degrees to short courses, on 21 registered higher education campus-es across South Africa.

Plasies dra ook hoed vir liefdadigheid

Tydens die onlangse Hoe-dedag ten bate van die SA Vrouefederasie (vir liefda-digheid) het die Hoërskool Merensky se leerlinge hul deel deeglik bygedra. Die gr 11’s het met ‘n hele verskeidenheid hoede opgedaag, terwyl die gr 12’s weer die oog met hul interessante hoofbe-dekkings gevang het.

Library rewards aspiring poets

The Letsitele Library rewarded the good creative writing of two pupils who entered their Mother’s Day competition. The library runs various creative writing competitions during the course of the year and most recently held a Mother’s Day competition. Pupils could send in poems or stories about their mothers to win a prize. The two winners were Jessica and Timo-thy Duguid who impressed with their poems. Patrys du Toit won the new-member competition.

Merensky-grondparkering geteer

Die parkeerterrein by die Hoërskool Merensky se A-rugbyveld was al lank ‘n steen des aanstoots, veral omdat dit so baie rooi stof laat warrel het wanneer daar gery is. Die terrein is onlangs geteer en met randstene afgewerk. Intussen sal parkeerplekke ook netjies met wit verf afgemerk word, om te sorg dat die parkering ordelik geskied. Foto 1 wys die terrein soos dit gelyk het, foto 2 wys hoe werkers die teermengsel versprei en foto 3 wys hoe dit nou lyk (die parkeermerke moet nog geverf word).

Op foto 2 staan dr Christo Prtetorius, met die blou kortbroek, die beheerraadslid wat die dryfkrag was om die terrein geteer te kry.
