The LinkMedia

WELCOME

TieMedia recognised the need to provide information to parents and guardians of children by publishing our second school guide book. The book enables the gift of education to be showcased to those parents and guardians who need to make a decision about where to send their children to school, from the selection of participating schools in this medium. Schools are given the opportunity to display their requirements, facilities, history of the school, subjects offered and school fees, as well as academic, sport, cultural and other necessary and informative details.

This information will guide those making the choice of selecting a little easier, as in some instances this may be a difficult and perhaps final decision.

Available statistics show that only approximately 25% of South African schools are functional in providing the foundational knowledge skills to our children at present. One should also be cognisant of the technological advancement occurring almost daily, and the impact or influence this may have on the learner and educator alike, to what extent schools process this challenge and how they achieve the desired results.

We trust that this book will provide the necessary guidelines, and should you require additional information we welcome the opportunity to assist.

As we have been told by teachers, a child without education is like a bird without wings.

Marika TruterManaging Editor

Education is one of the biggest gifts we can give our children. When it becomes time for your child to attend Grade R or Grade 8, choosing a school becomes a very important decision. This is not only from a purely academic point of view, but also to cater for any specific needs or interests your child might have, as well as any activities they might want to take part in.

The unique psychological needs of children, whatever that may be, play a huge role when selecting the right school for your child.

It is impossible for parents to visit every schools open day in their region. Also, perceptions of schools can be deceiving.

Taking this into account, TieMedia has launched this guidebook to assist parents in getting an overview of good schools, seeing what they have to offer your child and helping you to pre-select schools from this book. From there you can visit these schools on their open days or contact them directly.

This is the second edition of this guidebook and we are expanding this book on an annual basis to give you as parent as much information as possible to assist in this very important decision about your childs future. We thank the schools participating in this edition for their support. I have visited all of them, and they are all worthy of your choice.

BULLYINGBullying can be physical or emotional. Physical bullying is hitting, pushing and shoving, fighting, tripping, yelling at someone, making rude gestures, and taking or breaking another persons things. Emotional bullying is name calling, making fun of someone, laughing at someone, leaving someone out on purpose, starting rumors or telling lies about someone, sending mean messages on a computer or cell phone, and trying to make someone feel bad about who they are.

BULLYING IS UNACCEPTABLE What to do if you are being bulliedThe most important thing to do is to tell an adult you trust. Speak to a parent, a family friend, an older brother or sister,

or an uncle or an aunt. If the bullying happens at school,

speak to your teacher. You can

also do these things to help you: Stay in safe areas at school where there are other people at break and lunchtime. On the school bus or taxi, sit near the driver or

other adults. If you have to walk, try to leave home and school a bit later or a bit earlier, or walk with other people who live near you, even if theyre older or younger.

If you have a cell phone, be careful who you give your number to. If you receive threatening phone calls or texts, tell your parents or teacher. It is against the law to do that and the police can take action.

If you see anyone else being bullied at your school, tell your teacher in private. People who are being bullied need friends, so if you can help someone, please do so.

What to do if you are a bullyWhy are you a bully? Is it because someone else is bullying you? Are you bullying because it makes you feel powerful? If you are a bully, think about how it would make you feel if people were making fun of you, harassing you or stealing your lunch money. You probably already know that what you are doing is wrong. If that is true, then take the first step to stopping your behaviour. Ask yourself: What made me start bullying? Why do I pick on people? How do I me feel when I am bullying somebody? If I want to stop, how can I do it?If you want to stop bullying, speak to an adult you trust who would not judge you and who would love to help you stop being a bully.

Bullying is UNACCEPTABLE, but everyone is entitled to a SECOND CHANCE.

Bullying happens when someone is being hurt either by words or actions, feels bad

because of it, and has a hard time stopping what is happening to them. The behavior

is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.

Die kies van die regte laerskool vir jou kind is seker een van die belangrikste besluite wat n ouer kan maak. Alhoewel fasiliteite, gerief, kwaliteit- onderrig en 'n verskeidenheid aktiwiteite by n skool n belangrike oorweging is, is n laerskool baie meer as dit!

Hier by Laerskool Noord-Eind strewe ons na n sentrum van uitnemendheid, maar belangriker, dit is die plek waar elke kind gelukkig sal wees en emosioneel, intellektueel fisies en geestelik sal groei, in n vriendelike, veilige en omgee-omgewing.

Ons glo in balans van Akademie, Sport en Kultuur. Ons gebruik hierdie gebalanseerde kriteria om ons kinders aan te moedig om deel te neem volgens die beste van elkeen se vermo en elkeen se talente.

Vanaf 2016 spog ons met n splinternuwe VKO-Sentrum. Die sentrum huisves ons Pre-Gr-R en en Gr. R-leerders sowel as nasorgfasiliteite vir hulle. Die sentrum sal voortbou op ons tradisie van klein klasse en gekwalifiseerde onderwyseresse en sodoende individuele aandag verseker.

Die Akkerjakkers @ Noord-Eind ontvang optimale onderrig in 'n ontspanne omgewing deur goed opgeleide en ervare onderwyseresse.

Alle aktiwiteite word informeel aangebied en dit is s beplan dat die kinders op die korrekte manier vir formele onderrig voorberei word.

Al die aktiwiteite word spelenderwys aangebied en verskaf nie net groot genot nie, maar verseker ontwikkeling in totaliteit. Ons is trots om te s dat alle kinders geliefd, veilig en geborge voel, sodat leer en ontwikkeling gebalanseerd kan plaasvind.

By Noord-Eind vorm die Departementele Beleid die basis van die kurrikulum en daarom ook van elke les. Noord-Eind glo daaraan om n ho akademiese standaard te handhaaf en die onderrigprogram is sodanig ontwerp dat elke leerder tot sy/haar volle potensiaal kan ontwikkel. Ons spog met 'n uitstekende span opvoeders wat elkeen bereid is om die spreekwoordelike "ekstra myl" vir elke leerder te loop. In Gr. 1-3 word goeie grondslag gel wat 'n liefde vir leer kweek. Akademie is en bly een van die belangrikste dele van n kind se ontwikkeling. Elke kind word aangemoedig om kreatief te wees en individueel in n veilige omgewing te ontwikkel.

Is ADD or ADHD affecting your childs learning?

ADD and ADHDADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is most commonly seen as a learning problem not necessarily accompanied by unruly behaviour. It usually means the child has an exceptionally short attention span.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) is also very common and usually displays the symptoms of unruly behaviour and a short attention span.

The go-to method until recently has been the use of drugs like Ritalin. This has becomed a highly controversial issue. This article will have a look at natural alternatives to taking drugs to improve these conditions.

DietMany children have wheat, dairy or other food intolerances. The US Department of Health and Human Services says research has shown that about 3% of children might have a clinically proven food intolerance. Therefore a child responding to a change in diet that cuts out these problem foods is normally having a good diet for the first time, or is responding to the increased energy not eating these difficult to digest foods. Normally, supplementing with the correct digestive enzymes will help immensely.

Sugar and processed foods, do however need to be carefully monitored, if not completely cut out of the diet. Many children whose diet consists of cool drinks and sweets will exhibit hyperactive behaviour.

Supplementation There is much information about supplements needed

to manage ADD and ADHD. Products such as Seven-pointfives Mindset is endorsed by ADHASA

(Attention Deficity and Hyperactivity Support Group of Southern Africa). The product includes evening primrose oil,

pantothenic acid and L-Glutamine. Each of these ingredients

perform specific functions that can help an ADD

sufferer control this disorder.

Many parents have been able to use these suggestions to improve their childs perfomance at school and avoid the use of drugs.

INATTENTIONYou might not notice it until a child goes to school. The child might procrastinate, not complete tasks like homework or chores, or frequently move from one uncompleted activity to another. They might also: Be disorganised Lack focus Have a hard time paying attention to details and a

tendency to make careless mistakes Have trouble staying on topic while talking, not listen to

others, and not follow social rules Be forgetful about daily activities (such as forgetting to

bring lunch) Be easily distracted by things like trivial noises or events

that are usually ignored by others

HYPERACTIVITYIt may vary with age. You might be able to notice it in preschoolers. ADHD symptoms nearly always show up before middle school.Kids with hyperactivity may: Fidget and squirm when seated Get up frequently to walk or run around Run or climb a lot when its not appropriate Have trouble playing quietly or doing quiet hobbies Always be on the go Talk excessivelyToddlers and preschoolers with ADHD tend to be constantly in motion, jumping on furniture and having trouble participating in group activities that call for them to sit still. For instance, they may have a hard time listening to a story.

School-age children have similar habits, but you may notice those less often. They are unable to stay seated, squirm a lot, fidget, or talk a lot.

Childhood conditions such as ADD, ADHD and hyperactivity cause learning problems for many children. Parents have more questions than answers most of the time. What causes it? What can be done about it? Where do you turn for help?

Gestig in 1962, staan ons dus nog in ons kinderskoene, maar is in tred met die nuutste ontwikkelings op opvoedkundige- en landbougebied.

Ons is gele tussen Paarl en Wellington wat dit geskik maak vir wingerd-, koring-, bees- en skaapboerdery.

Die opvoeding is holisties en waardegedrewe. Ons poog in alles om jong here voorbereid en gebalanseerd die lewe in te stuur. Hier LEER en LEEF ons om te LEI.

Ons konsentreer op akademiese opleiding, omdat ons dit as n

baie belangrike bousteen beskou in die voorbereiding van ons kinders vir die lewe van werk. Benewens die gewone akademiese vakke, bied ons ook drie Landbouvakke aan waarvan leerlinge minstens een moet neem.

Met n maksimum leerling-tal van 350, is ons seuns, ouers en personeel n hegte Bolandfamilie wat saamstaan om teen die bestes te kompeteer.

Ons spog met 'n wynkelder, moderne sportgeriewe, wildreservaat, gimnasium, buitelug oefenapparaat (Slagpale) en klerewinkel op die terrein.

Various reunion groups meet every year at the Big Brag in the Town Hall, a ceremony which attempts to prepare the whole Boys' High community emotionally for this great occasion and where the Old Boys rekindle old friendships. Sporting greats, such as Hugh Bladen and the legendary Mannetjies Roux, have also addressed the Men in Blue on this occasion.The greatest honour is to be 'capped' by your father with the traditional first team cap on the Friday morning in the school hall. Personalities such as Francois Pienaar, Corn Krige, Gurthr Steenkamp and Ashwin Willemse have addressed the boys on this occasion in preparation for all the matches on the Friday and Saturday afternoons, culminating with the main match at the Faure Street Stadium at four o'clock. This tradition was originally reserved for the first rugby team, but since 2003 the first hockey side members have also been 'capped'. During the year all the the u.19A teams are capped when competing against Paarl Gimnasium. The weekend ends with the 'Krymekaar' in the school hall where we celebrate a wonderful weekend that is unparalalled in school sport.

Rhenish Girls High School celebrated its 155th birthday in 2015. The oldest girls school in the country, and the first boarding school for girls, we pride ourselves on our traditions while striving to remain abreast of developments in our quest to offer our girls a well-rounded 21st century education.

Rhenish Celebrates Consistent Excellence in Matric Results a 100% pass rate - a long standing tradition at Rhenish where there has not been a failure in some 29 years. An impressive record that is a credit to the educators who provide incredible nurturing support for even the weakest of learners as they strive to ensure that every girl is able to reach her potential in her school leaving exam. 100% of the Class of 2014 achieved Bachelor passes that will enable them to study at university and Rhenishers will continue to swell the ranks of

universities, colleges and technology institutions around the country. Rhenish was the only state school in the Western Cape to achieve this in 2014. Ranked 12th in the Western Cape for the 2014 NSC examination

The true depth of a schools academic quality is measured by the learners progress at tertiary level and the feedback on Rhenishers from the various tertiary institutions is positive. Both the variety of courses followed and the level of excellence attained bear testimony to the academic rigour instilled at Rhenish.

Rhenish is the Top Swimming School in Western CapeFor 10 consecutive years, Rhenish has won the coverted Boy/Girl Gala at Newlands AND the 4M Gala (a hotly contested gala between Rhenish, Bloemhof Girls, Paarl Girls and La Rochelle Girls)

Rhenish Is Committed to Educational Excellence Rhenish is committed to ensuring that our educators and learners have access to the latest technology and educational tools to ensure that they remain abreast of developments and trends in education Rhenish led the way in Stellenbosch in 2015 with an exciting ICT eLearning pilot project that saw every Grade 9 learner having access to a personal device (in this case a tablet) onto which a selection of textbooks were loaded. In this way, technology has become part of the learning environment in the same way that textbooks and exercise books are at Rhenish. This will be

extended to Grade 8s and Grade 10s in 2016. Rhenish has recently upgraded their facilities to include Additional classrooms that replaced existing aged prefabricated ones A new all-purpose hall An all-weather, all-season, multipurpose astroturf Educators remain abreast of developments in their field through regular in-service training Our Learner Support Unit provides essential support and guidance to learners with learning difficulties or whose ability to perform to their potential is compromised

Creates Opportunities For her Learners To develop leadership skills through a wide array of leadership roles Class Captains, Sporting Captains, Heads of Clubs or Societies, Cheerleaders, Mentors, Matric Committee, Hostel Learner Council and Learner Council To give back to their communities (clubs and societies such as Interact, Soup Ingredients, Golden Oldies, RHECO, Cancer Society, Sibongomusa Creche Project) To develop opinions and explore views while nurturing tolerance and understanding of diversity through the Debating Society, Public Speaking and Siyaphambili To play sport at a level of excellence Swimming, Hockey, Netball, Squash, Water Polo, Tennis, Athletics, Soccer and Cross Country To undertake sporting and cultural tours To embrace culture through Art and Music (Art at the PJ Olivier Centre and our own richly talented Music Department), Orchestra, Choir and Marimba

At Rhenish we strive to give our girls the courage to continue in their efforts to achieve their goals, in spite of the challenges they may face along the way; we encourage them to value their education as an instrument of change in their lives and in the lives of those with whom they engage; and we have faith in their potential to be our future leaders in the different fields they choose once they leave school.

This will better prepare them for studies in engineering or enable them to qualify as artisans. CAPS II will be introduced to grade 11 in 2017 and grade 12 in 2018. PW Botha College remains the only school in the George district that offers a full academic study course as well as a complete technical study course.

PW Botha College is a focus school for technology. It was with great excitement that we introduced CAPS II in January 2016 for the grade 10 learners who chose to take the Technical Study Course. We offer Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Technology. Mechanical Technology consists of two subjects, Automotive and Fitting and Machining. Civil Technology offers Woodworking as a subject and Electrical Technology will offer Heavy Current as a subject.

Learners taking the technical course have to take Mathematics or Technical Mathematics, Science or Technical Science, Engineering Graphics and Design as well as the technical subject of their choice. This will better prepare them for studies in engineering or enable them to qualify as artisans. CAPS II will be introduced to grade 11 in 2017 and grade 12 in 2018. PW Botha College remains the only school in the George district that offers a full academic study course as well as a complete technical study course.
