Kliniek op wieleDie Wes-Kaapse mobiele kliniek besoektans laerskole in die Stellenbosch-streek.

Leerders word hier gemonitor vir sig,spraak, gehoor, asook moontlike uitdagingsmet motoriese vaardighede en ander mediesetoestande.

Volgens suster Chrystal Pekeur, wat deeluitmaak van die mediese personeel, bied die‘kliniek op wiele’ byna dieselfde dienste virgr. 1-leerders as wat klinieke doen.

Die mediese personeel bestaan uit ’n oog-kundige, tandarts en verpleegsters.

“In Stellenbosch is daar net een openbare

tandarts-kliniek. Ons probeer dit gerieflikermaak om die dienste na die skole te bring.Onswildiemedieseproblemegoueroptel.Ditis ook gepas vir gebiede wat ver van kliniekegeleë is.”

Sy het gesê dit is ook baie belangrik om gouwaar te neem wanneer kinders sig-problemehet.

“ ’n Kind wat nie goed kan sien nie kan niegoed presteer nie.” Sy het gesê ouers kan ookgratis hul kinders wat jonger as 12 is se oëby Spec Savers laat toets.

Sy het ouers se samewerking gevra wan-neer hulle in dié gebiede is.

“Ons vra dat ouers die toestemmingsbrie-we moet teken sodat ons die dienste gratisaan die kinders kan verskaf. Wanneer ons diekinders verwys na die klinieke vir verderebehandeling verlang ons ook dat ouers hulekinders na die klinieke neem. Hulle gesond-heid is vir ons belangrik.”

Die mobiele kliniek is vandeesweek inKlapmuts. Van 2 tot 5 Maart is dit in Koelen-hof. Van 9 tot 19 Maart is dit in Groendal envan 23 tot 24 Maart is dit in Franschhoek. Op25 en 26 Maart is dit in Wemmershoek. Op27 Maart, 30 en 31 Maart gaan die bussie inPniel wees.

Maak ’n verskilDie verkiesings van skoolbeheerliggamebegin landswyd op 1 Maart.

Dié verkiesings vind elke drie jaarplaasenisnaasdienasionale,provinsialeen munisipale verkiesings die grootsteverkiesing van openbare verteenwoordi-gers in Suid-Afrika.

“Openbare skole behoort aan die ge-meenskappe waarin die skole geleë is enhierdie skole word deur die betrokke be-heerliggaam beheer en bestuur.

“Diebeheerliggaamhetdus ’ngroot in-vloed op kinders se opvoeding en bepaalonder meer ’n skool se etos en missiestel-ling,beleidoor toelating, taal en finansië-lebestuur,”hetPaulColditz,uitvoerendehoofvandiefederasievanbeheerliggamevan Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (FEDSAS) ge-sê.

“Die verkiesing stel ouers in staat om’nsê tehê inwieopdie liggaammoetdienwat sulke ingrypende besluite oor hulkinders se opvoeding neem en wat ’n di-rekte invloed het op die gehalte van op-voeding wat hulle kinders kry.”

Hy het gesê enige ouer wat ’n kind vangraad R tot graad 12 in ’n openbare skoolhet,maghom-ofhaarselfverkiesbaarstelof stem in die verkiesing.

“Onderwys in Suid-Afrika word deurbaieproblemeindiegesiggestaar. ’nHelepaarvanhierdieproblemekanegterhan-teer word deur vaardige, kundige en toe-gewyde beheerliggame.

“Diesuksesvan ’nskool isdirekgekop-pel aan die vermoë van die beheerlig-gaam. Ouers móét dus stem om seker temaak dat die belange van hul kinders,maar ook die breër skoolgemeenskap ge-dien word,” het Colditz gesê.

FEDSAS verteenwoordig die belangevan meer as 1 800 skoolbeheerliggame inSuid-Afrika.

“FEDSAS sal weer vanjaar uitgebreidbetrokkeweesbydieverkiesing in termevan bewusmaking en opleiding,” het dr.Jaco Deacon, adjunkhoof van FEDSAS,gesê.“Dit sluit in toegang tot kenners opdie gebied van skoolbeheer en -bestuurwatvirmedia-onderhoude,analiseendievertolking van verkiesingsproseduresbeskikbaar is.

“Om ouers bewus te maak van die ver-kiesing, asook die prosedures, is ons be-langrikste taak.

Ná afloop van die verkiesing sal FEDS-ASookweer syhulpbronneenkennisbe-skikbaar stel om beheerliggame op te leien toe te rus vir die taak,” het Deacon ge-sê.

FEDSAS wil dit benadruk dat die ver-antwoordelikheidnouopouers rusom ’nverskil te maak.

“Hoe meer mense aan die verkiesingdeelneem, hoe hoër is die gehalte vanskoolbestuur.

’n Oneffektiewe beheerliggaam ont-neem ’n skoolgemeenskap van bedin-gingsmag met die staat en selfs die breërgemeenskap,” aldus Colditz.

Mishka help graad 7-leerdersMICHELLE VAN DER SPUY

Stellenbosser en Mej. Suid-Afrika 2014- finalis, Mishka Pa-tel, het met ’n nuwe konsep om haar gemeenskap te bemag-tig vorendag gekom.

Deur ‘Mishka Patel Success Class 2015’ hoop sy om graad7-meisies se kanse op ’n suksesvolle hoërskoolloopbaan teverbeter.

“Ek en die hoof van Laerskool Rietenbosch, Roy vanRooyen, het verlede jaar in November begin gesels oor ’nkonsep om sy skoolkinders meer te help.

“Ek gaan die dametjies help om hulle paadjie na hoër-skool makliker te maak, deur hulle te leer van etiket, hoeomhulself teversorg,hoeommoeilikesituasies tehanteer,hoe om leiers te wees en hoe om groot te droom en dit tebereik.

“Dis ’n klas vir meisies by minderbevoorregte skole,want ek voel dis juis in sulke skole waar mens die regtediamante kry.

“Ek wil vir hulle geleenthede skep en ’n jaar lange paad-jie saam met hulle loop en hulle voorberei vir volgendejaar.”

Patel het self die oorgang van laerskool na hoërskoolmoeilik gevind. “Alles was vreemd en alles was anders.Dit was tyd vir nuwe vriende, nuwe uitdagings, nuwe leer-werk, nuwe onderwysers en ek het nie geweet hoe om metalles te ‘cope’ nie.

“Ek het besef die skuif van laerskool na hoërskool hetso ’n groot impak op jou toekoms, want dis die jare watjy jou vriende reg moet kies en vakke moet kies wat jouná skool gaan baat.”

Ná afloop van haar eerste suksesklas by La-erskool Rietenbosch kan sy sommer klaarsien dat die klasse vrugte gaan afwerp.

“Elke leerdermoesvyfdoelwittevirdie jaarneerskryf en ook wat hulle gedurende die jaarwil leer. Hul antwoorde het my verstom.

“Hierdie dames het groot drome en passies.Hulle is intelligent en vol idees. Ek glo ek kansuksesse van hul elkeen maak.”

Dit is egter nie net die leerders wat by diéklasse baat nie, maar ook hul leermeester.“Vir my gaan dit absoluut oor hoeveel lewensek positief kan beïnvloed.

“Ek glo in my konsep en ek weet dat ek stapvir stap baie diamantjies gaan laat blink.”

Mishka Patel (middel) by die 10 leerderswat onlangs haar eerste suksesklas byLaerskool Rietenbosch bygewoon het.

Roy van Rooyen (links), hoof van Laer-skool Rietenbosch, het gehelp om diekonsep vir Mishka Patel (regs) se klassete formaliseer.

Does your business reallymake a profit?David Malherbe

The news recently featured the big turn-around that is happening at the SAA atpresent. For example, they are busy eliminat-ing flight routes that were notprofitable. These incurred a lossof more than R2,5 bn during oneyear. Now they have a new busi-ness plan which they believe willhelp them save R1,25 bn by theend of March 2015.

My first thought is why theyhave only now started to imple-mentanewbusinessplanandareonly now willing to cut down onroutes that are not profitable.They needed a bail-out of aR6,5 bn guarantee from govern-ment to keep the company afloat, whichmeans that taxpayers’ money is risked forthis unprofitable operation.

But in your business you cannot afford nottomakeaprofit.Whenyourcreditorsorbankdecide they will no longer bear with an un-profitable business, they simply close yourdoors and the government will definitely notbail you out.

Therefore you do not have the same luxuryofrunningonemptyandbeyondliketheSAA.You need to make sure that your business

stays profitable. Therefore my question toyou is whether you really know the cost ofeach product or service that you supply? Doyou know the exact amount of your fixed and

variablecostsandyourbreak-evenpoint? Without this informationyou risk going the SAA route.

I’ve come across quite a numberof business owners who think thatwhile there is money in the bankaccount, they can spend money.But often an unpleasant surprisewaits at the end of the month whenthey realise they have a shortfallpaying all the accounts.

Theonlywaytoensurethatyourbusiness makes enough profit andis able to grow, is by having a thor-

ough record and bookkeeping system to keeptrackofall expenses.Theinformationcollect-ed and presented in financial statements, iswhat isnecessary for futureplanning,wheth-er it means eliminating non-profitable as-pects of your business or expanding on theprofitable ones.

The only way to grow your business in fu-ture is by measuring what happened in thepast and then plan accordingly.

Deense span skenk toerusting’n Kollege van Denemarke het onlangssporttoerusting en skootrekenaars aantwee skole in Jamestown verskaf.

Stenhus College se pluimbalspan het van-deesmaand vir die Sekondêre Skool Stellen-zicht en vir Weber Gedenk Primêr besoek enpluimbaltoerusting aan die skole gegee.

Volgens Christian Madsen, sportbestuurdervan dié span, hoop hulle die toerusting wat ge-skenk is kan bydra om die leerders se sport-loopbane verder te bevorder.

Die span het verlede jaar die skole besoeken te hore gekom dat hulle toerusting benodig.

“Toe ons laas hier was, was hier nie so baie

kinders nie, maar die sport is besig om pos tevat en meer kinders stel belang in die sport,wat ’n goeie ding is.”

Diespanhetook’noefenprogramvirdie leer-ders aangebied.

Volgens Gary Jacobs, Stellenzicht se pluim-bal-afrigter, gaan die toerusting baie vir hullehelp.

“Dit is ’n nuwe sport by die skool en daaris reeds baie belangstelling. Ons wil ook vir dieleerders meer geleenthede bied. Ons het ookal drie spelers wat Boland-kleure ontvang hetin dié sport.”

Hy het gesê hulle hoop ook om ’n verhoudingmet Stenhus College op te bou

Come join sitting volleyball clubParaVolley, an inclusive sport for bothdisabled and enabled players, is playedfrom club up to paralympic level and isnow launching in Stellenbosch.

“The sport is extremely similar to tradi-tional volleyball, although played on thefloor, with a slightly smaller court and alower net, explains Elana van Brakel of thenew club in Stellenbosch.

“The rules are almost identical. Thesport is great for any leg amputees (aboveor below knee, single or double amputees).Players don’t need any equipment or pros-thetics to play and it is one of the few allinclusive sports where amputees actuallyhave an advantage over able-bodied play-

ers. It’s a fast-paced action sport with lotsof movement, tactics and game strategy,”she explained.

The first meeting of the newly formedStellenbosch club is at the DF Malan Hall,Stellenbosch University this Tuesday, 24February, at 19:00.

“Nopreviousvolleyballexperienceneed-ed, no wheelchairs or other equipment arerequired and you can wear simple sportsgear – the best is nylon shorts or/pants.

“ParaVolley South Africa promotes thesport of sitting volleyball and beach sittingvolleyball in South Africa and this eventis organised by ParaVolley South Africa inconjunction with Maties ParaSport,” VanBrakel said.

A new para-volleyball, or sitting volleyball club will be formed at Stellenbosch University next Tuesday.
