Hartlik geluk met jou uitstekende keuse om deel te wees van Thaba-Jäh Dorpskoshuis! Ons

staan bekend as ’n elite “gentlemen” koshuis waar ons mekaar ondersteun en goeie waardes

uitleef soos onderlinge respek. Ons leuse is immers dat ons

’n berg van ondersteuning is wat egte waardes nastreef

deur ten volle op ons Skepper staat te maak. Bykomend,

fokus ons streng op broederskap wat beteken dat ons

mekaar as broers persoonlik leer ken en ondersteun in

die verskillende aktiwiteite van die koshuis.

U kan uitsien na ons ondersteuning en leiding as

huisouers. Ons staan in die plek van u ouers wat nie elke

dag hier kan wees tydens u studiejare nie. Ons is

beskikbaar om u te help, te ondersteun en te motiveer

wanneer nodig. U moet dus nie skroom om te vra vir hulp nie.

Daar is soveel aktiwiteite waarmee u betrokke kan raak. U

kan uitsien na ’n onvergeetlike ervaring en ’n wedersydse

leerproses.

Nogmaals baie welkom by Thaba-Jäh!

Thaba-Jäh groete.

VERWELKOMING VAN DIE PRIMARIUS

Geagte voornemende NWU eerstejaar student,

Wanneer ek terugdink aan die dag toe ek, net soos julle, gekonfronteer was met die besluit

oor my toekoms na skool, slaan die sweet sommer weer op my voorkop uit. Besluite wat

geneem moet word ten opsigte van jou studie

rigting, toekoms, maniere van dinge doen en

sommer ‘n klomp ander vreemde goed.

In Thaba-Jäh het ek geleer hoe om die man

te wees wie ek vandag is, ‘n man wat op

God kan vertrou om die regte besluite te

neem en respek te toon aan ander. Thaba-

Jäh leer mens van broederskap, juis omdat

ons die kleinste dorpskoshuis is op kampus

word daar meer gefokus op die individu,

eerder as ‘n groep. Jy as eerstejaar word so

gekoester en bygestaan om die beste pad te

kies. Studente lewe is die lekkerste jare van

jou lewe en ons wil jou help om met “Trots” en

“Eer” eendag te kan terug kyk daarna.

Ek sien daarna uit om ‘n pad saam met jou te stap, met die gerusstellende wete dat Thaba-

Jäh ons familie weg van die huis af is wat omgee en ondersteun wanneer ons dit nodig het.

VERWELKOMING VAN DIE EERSTEJAARS HUISKOMITEE (HK) LID

Geagte voornemende Eerstejaar,

Eerstens wil ek jou geluk wens met jou keuse om by NWU te kom studeer. Dit is een van die

belangrikste keuses van jou lewe en jy sal nie spyt wees oor jou keuse nie. As 'n trotse

inwoner van Thaba-Jäh mansdorpskoshuis kan ek jou verseker

dat jy by ons van die beste ervaringe op dié kampus gaan

beleef. Ons is 'n groep van ongeveer 150+ studente wat saam

met jou hierdie ervaringe sal deurmaak, broers wat vir mekaar

opofferinge maak. Ons leuse "Met Trots en Eer" is woorde

waarna ons as TJ Gents strewe om uit te leef. Geken as die

Gentleman koshuis op kampus maak ons dit ons missie om

daarby ons bestaan te maak.

My werk is om jou die ervaring te gee wat ek tydens my

eerstejaar gehad het en daarvolgens kan ek jou met sekerheid

sê, dit sal die lekkerste tyd van jou lewe wees. Saam is ons al

deur dik en dun om die beste te gee in alles wat ons doen. Ek

hoop dat jy die beste besluit vir jouself maak om deel te word van ons

standvastige broederskap.

Meer oor Thaba-Jäh Koshuis

2015/16 was ‘n groot jaar vir Thaba-Jäh. In 2015 het ons vir die tweede jaar in ‘n ry

kaalvoetdag en blikkieskosdag gewen. In 2016 het kaalvoetdag verander oor die spasie van

drie dae en het ‘n reeks van kompetisies geword waarby ons algemeen 7de plek behaal het.

Verder het ons weereens goed in die sokker presteer waar ons laasjaar winter liga wenners

was en hierdie jaar 3de plek behaal. In 2017 het ons sokker 1ste en 2de span beide 1ste plek

behaal in die winter liga en ook ons hokkie span het goud verwerf in die somer liga.

Vir die termyn 2017/18 gaan ons met Klawerhof damesdorpskoshuis sleep. Hulle is ‘n

fantastiese dames koshuis op die kampus. Ons sien uit om saam met Klawerhof al die

aktiwiteite mee te maak en sodoende deel te word van universiteits geskiedenis

Tydens die eerste 3 weke van Registrasie en Oriëntasie (R&O) gaan jy as eerste jaar student

verskeie koshuis tradisies en aksies bywoon en aanleer bv. koshuis sport, sleep aksies en

Thaba-Jäh avontuur aksies.

Wat is ʼn intrekkerpakket?

’n Intrekkerspakket behels ’n kombinasie van studente-aksies wat elke voornemende eerstejaarstudent

kies om aan deel te neem. Nie een van hierdie aksies is verpligtend nie, wat beteken dat studente slegs

betaal vir dit waarin hulle wil en gaan deelneem.. Die doel van intrekkerspakkette is om die betaling van

verskeie opsionele studente-aksies te vergemaklik deur die studente-aksies te kombineer sodat slegs

een betaling nodig is.

Wat is koshuiskas?

Koshuiskas is ’n eenmalige bedrag wat deur voornemende koshuisinwoners betaal word wat hul

deelname aan verskeie studente-aksies (sport, kunste, JOOL, instandhouding, opedag, ens.) deur die

jaar wil verseker.

Wat word by klerasie ingesluit?

Verwys na bogenoemde tabel vir klere wat ingesluit is in Basiese Pakket opsie.

Item Bedrag

Wat is die doel van die oorpak (Ovie tydens JOOL)?

Die oorpak moet vir veiligheidsredes (Beroepsveiligheid en gesondheid-wetgewing vereis dit aangesien

daar gesweis word tydens die bou van die JOOL-vlotte) deur elke persoon wat die JOOL-plaas betree,

gedra word. Oorpakke kan wel gekoop word sonder om JOOL-kaartjies te koop of om aan JOOL deel

te neem, aangesien die oorpakke ook vir ander geleenthede benut gaan word.

Wat behels JOOL?

JOOL behels nie net studentepret en plesier nie. JOOL het ook ’n sterk sosiale bewustheid onderbou:

“Jou Onbaatsugtige Opoffering vir Liefdadigheid”. Jou JOOL-kaartjie verseker nie net jou deelname aan

hierdie onvergeetlike studente belewenis en energieke prosessie nie; dit gee jou ook toegang tot die

JOOL-plaas. Nie net eindig die vlotoptog hier nie; dit is ook die plek waar twee polsende rock-konserte

die laaste twee aande, asook ʼn vuurwerkvertoning op die Vrydagaand, aangebied word.

Wat is Eerstejaarsdinee?

Die Eerstejaarsdinee is ’n swierige en eksklusiewe spoggeleentheid vir eerstejaarstudente. Hier kan

hulle hul beste voetjie voorsit en mekaar beter leer ken. Hierdie dinee is jaar na jaar ’n besliste

hoogtepunt en is ’n absolute moet-bywoon vir voornemende eerstejaars!

Dorpskoshuis Pakkette

Dorpkoshuispakkette is vasgestel op R1500 en sluit R500 vir koshuiskas en R1000 vir klerasie in.

Hierdie basiese pakket (Opsie A) moes reeds met web registrasie betaal gewees het. Opsie B tot E

kan betaal word soos die betalingopsies blad dit aandui mits u reeds finaal geregistreer is.

Addisionele opsies bestaan wat sterk aanbeveelbaar is aangesien U as student min tyd gaan hê om

terug te gaan na U verblyf eenheid om kos voor te berei. Die twee opsies is:

• R&O-etepakket wat bestaan uit ʼn middag- en aandete tydens R&O

• Waterpakket wat water verskaf aan eerstejaarstudente tydens R&O

BETALINGSOPSIES

ELEKTRONIESEBETALINGS KAN NOU AL GEMAAK WORD EN ONS RAAI U AAN OM EERDER

VROEGTYDIG U BETALING OP HIERDIE MANIER AF TE HANDEL.

OPSIE 1: EFO (Elektroniese Fonds Oorbetaling / Internet-oorbetaling) Bewys van betaling moet uitgedruk word en met die dag van eerstejaarsontvangs saamgebring word sodat dit by die penningmeester (Finansies HK-lid) van die betrokke koshuis ingehandig kan word. Hierdie bewys van betaling moet ook elektronies aan die betrokke penningmeester (Finansies HK-lid) se epos gestuur word na: arno.smith19@gmail.com Bankbesonderhede van die NWU: Naam van rekening: NWU Diverse Bank: ABSA Rek tipe: Tjekrekening Rek nr.: 670 642 313 Verwysing: Tha

Die verwysing is uiters belangrik, sodat die gelde na die korrekte koshuis gestuur word.

OPSIE 2: KONTANTBETALING BY KOSHUISE Gelde word betaal by die koshuis met aankoms. Dit kan kontant of per tjek (Tjeks moet asb. soos volg uitgemaak word aan: Noordwes-Universiteit, dit mag nie aan die koshuis uitgemaak word nie. Namibiese en buitelandse tjeks word ongelukkig nie aanvaar nie) betaal word in die aangewese lokaal by die koshuis. Dring asb. aan op ʼn kwitansie aangesien dit dien as bewys van betaling.

OPSIE 3: KONTANT & BANKKAART BETALING Gelde word betaal by kassiers in gebou F1 in Lovers Lane met die Eerstejaarsontvangs. ʼn Kwitansie word vir u uitgedruk en moet dan by die koshuis ingedien word as bewys van betaling. Neem kennis: Dorpskoshuise het kaartgeriewe beskikbaar. Ons raai u aan om nie die prosedure te volg nie aangesien die rye lank is en om vir kassiers te vra om twee kwitansies uit te druk aangesien u die een gaan indien by die koshuis en dan self nie ʼn bewys het nie.

8

OPSIE 4: HEFFING OP STUDENTEREKENING Hierdie vorm word geteken by die koshuis met aankoms waar die gelde op die studenterekening gehef sal word. Alle beurshouers (NSFAS ingesluit) moet hierdie vorm teken, mits anders gestel deur beursooreenkoms.

R&O is die beste tyd van jou lewe wat jy nie gaan wil oor hê nie. Dit is die algemene aanhaling

wat geken is regoor die kampus. Hiervolgens is net ‘n paar reëlings en aanbevelings om R&O

makliker te maak:

• R&O: Begin 13 Januarie 2018.

• Eerstejaars wat klaar geregistreer is by die koshuis kan direk na ons klubhuis gaan om kostes af te

handel.

• Daar is ekstra opsionele pakkette wat sterk aanbeveel word vir R&O waarvan jy kan kies.

• Gaan like ook ons Facebook page, “follow” ons op Instagram en Twitter en gaan like die NWU se

Eerstejaars 2018 Facebook page vir meer inligting oor R&O.

• Maak seker jy bring ‘n goeie waterbottel saam wat jy vir die duurte van die R&O gaan gebruik.

• Bring baie gebottelde water, ons beveel nie Potchefstroom se water aan nie. Jy kan in

Potchefstroom ook gebottelde water koop.

• Wees betyds en sien julle in 2018!!

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE PRIMARIUS

Dear prospective NWU first-year student,

When I think back to the day when I was confronted, like you, with making decisions regarding

my future after school, the sweat just show up on my forehead once again. Decisions to be

taken in respect of your field of study, future ways

of doing things and just a bunch of other weird

stuff.

Thaba-Jäh groomed me into the man I am

today, a man who can trust in God to make

the right decisions and to show respect to

others. Thaba-Jäh teaches brotherhood,

because we are the smallest town residence

on campus we focus more on the individual,

rather than the group. You, as first year

student will be nurtured and supported to

choose the best path. Student life is the best

years of your life and we want to help you one

day to be able to look back at it with proud and

honour. I experienced how fellow students used the opportunities provided

to them and reached heights which they could not have even dreamt of.

I look forward to share every step of your journey with you, with the reassuring knowledge that

Thaba-Jäh our family away from home is caring and supportive when we need it.

Regards

Wentzel Pretorius

More on Thaba-Jäh Residence

2015/16 was a big year for Thaba-Jäh. In 2015 for the second year in a row we won barefoot-

and tinfood day respectively. In 2016 barefootday changed to a host of competitions over the

space of three days where we achieved 7th place overall. Furthermore, we did well in the

soccer over tha past few years. In 2015 we won the winter league, 2016 we placed 3rd. In

2017 both 1st and 2nd teams came first in the winter league. Our hockey achieved gold in the

summer league.

For the term 2017/18 Klawerhof ladies residence is our “sleep” residence. They are a fantastic

female residence on campus. We are looking forward to associate with Klawerhof and

experience all the activities together, thus becoming part of varsity history.

During the first 3 weeks of Registration and Orientation (R&O), you as a first-year student will

take part and also learn a wide variety of residence traditions and actions such as residence

sport, “Sleep” actions and Thaba-Jäh adventure activities.
