DEBATE COMPETITION: LEARNERS OFF TO JOHANNESBURG

Talkers take top spot

ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@astridfebruarie

F

ive learners from Cravenby Combined

School in Elsies River are to represent

the province at the SouthAfricanAgen-

cy for Science Technology Achievement

School Debates Competition.

The competition will take place in Johan-

nesburg in the next two weeks.

This after the learners which include Na-

beelaGaffor, JoyDavids,Gabriella Samuels,

Tabriz Kabulo and Plamedi and Ngalula

came out on top in the provincial rounds last

week.

Extremely proud

Donovan Fortuin, the mentor and physics

andmathematics teacher who helped to pre-

pare the learners, sayshe is extremelyproud

of their achievement.

Capable of anything

This is the first time that the school has

ever participated in this competition and to

come out on top is rewarding. It truly shows

that the learners are capable of anything

they put their mind too, he says.

Fortuin says as the school focuses onphys-

ics and mathematics, this gave them the ad-

vantage when it came to debating as they al-

ready have the knowledge.

Our recipe for success was to work as a

team and prepare ourselves every day by

providing extra classes to the learners after

school. We also ensured that we were going

to enter this competition to not only test our

knowledge but to have fun throughout, For-

tuin says.

According to the agency the primary objec-

tive of the National Schools Debates is to

stimulate interest among learners to study

towards careers in science, engineering

and technology (SET) through researching

and debating high-level topics.

The competition aims to advance the pub-

lic awareness, appreciation and engage-

ment of Science, Technology and Engineer-

ing in South Africa.

FEBRUARIE

T

he construction of Cher Bothas

new school in Meerlust Street,

Oak Glen, Bellville, is progress-

ing well with most of the earthmoving

having been completed and the laying

of foundations now in progress.

The completion date for the project

is April 2017 and the school is hoping

to move in during July next year.

Nick Davies, the chairman of the

Project SteeringCommittee, is thrilled

with the progress. As a parent and a

member of the Cher Botha SGB I can-

not tell youhowhappywe all are about

Cher Bothas new home. Our educa-

tors have really been battling to run a

school on three different remote sites.

To have a single locationwherewe can

all be together in a custom designed

school with the correct facilities is in-

credibly exciting. To have been given

this beautiful site in such a lovely and

friendly suburb is the cherry on top.

Our children are going to love it here.

He went on to say how grateful Cher

Botha is to their new neighbours who

have had to put up with a lot of incon-

venience in the early stages of the con-

struction.

The heavymachinery and the sand

have made life quite unpleasant for

our neighbours and we would like to

thank them for their patience and un-

derstanding.

One positive aspect of the construc-

tion work is that the contractors are

required to use a certain percentage of

the local labour force and anyone in-

terested in working on the project

should get in touch with Coenie Lour-

ens, the community liaison officer.

Three people died and one was injured

when the driver lost control of the vehicle

theywere travelling in onOwenRoad in El-

sies River.

The accident occurred onSunday 29May.

Chitra Bodasing, ER24 spokesperson,

says paramedics, Life Healthcare, Metro

and other services attended to the incident.

Upon arrival on the scene it was found

that the car had rolled. The occupants were

trapped in the vehicle, Bodasing says.

Fire and Rescue used the Jaws of Life to

extricate them.

Bodasing says sadly a woman and two

men succumbed to their injuries. One man

whowas injuredwas treated and transport-

ed to hospital for further medical care.

The exact cause of the incident is un-

known. Authorities were on scene for fur-

ther investigation.

FEBRUARIE

T

he construction of Cher Bothas

new school in Meerlust Street,

Oak Glen, Bellville, is progress-

ing well with most of the earthmoving

having been completed and the laying

of foundations now in progress.

The completion date for the project

is April 2017 and the school is hoping

to move in during July next year.

Nick Davies, the chairman of the

Project SteeringCommittee, is thrilled

with the progress. As a parent and a

member of the Cher Botha SGB I can-

not tell youhowhappywe all are about

Cher Bothas new home. Our educa-

tors have really been battling to run a

school on three different remote sites.

To have a single locationwherewe can

all be together in a custom designed

school with the correct facilities is in-

credibly exciting. To have been given

this beautiful site in such a lovely and

friendly suburb is the cherry on top.

Our children are going to love it here.

He went on to say how grateful Cher

Botha is to their new neighbours who

have had to put up with a lot of incon-

venience in the early stages of the con-

struction.

The heavymachinery and the sand

have made life quite unpleasant for

our neighbours and we would like to

thank them for their patience and un-

derstanding.

One positive aspect of the construc-

tion work is that the contractors are

required to use a certain percentage of

the local labour force and anyone in-

terested in working on the project

should get in touch with Coenie Lour-

ens, the community liaison officer.

Upon arrival on the scene it was found

men succumbed to their injuries. One man

whowas injuredwas treated and transport-

ed to hospital for further medical care.

The exact cause of the incident is un-

known. Authorities were on scene for fur-

ther investigation.

educational benefit, to running various

campaigns at schools.

I do not want to provide hand-outs. I

want those who seek my services to come

with an open mind and be prepared to put

theirminds towork. It is about changing the

mindset, providing an extra learning space,

and helping people with the simple task of

putting a CV together or applying for a job,

Muller says.

She is looking for premises to start up her

organisation where she can have a base to

run it from.

I would like to establish the foundation

in a central location to ensure that anyone

can access the services not only those in

Bishop Lavis, she says.

She also hopes to provide job opportuni-

ties to people from her community who are

willing to put in the extra hours.

I am always looking for ways to help oth-

ers develop and I am willing to share my

knowledge and skillswith thosewho ask for

assistance, Muller says.

sorswhocan supporther organisation inor-

der for her to provide the services she has

Library celebrates top readers

ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@astridfebruarie

E

lsies River Library hosted

their annual reading competi-

tion last week with learners

from several schools in the com-

munity participating.

The Grade 7 learners from Nor-

wood, Elnor, Balvenie and Craven-

by primary schools were invited to

show off their reading and spelling

skills.

Thewinners of the local competi-

tion will participate in the District

5 reading competition at ParowLi-

brary later this month.

TheDistrict 5 libraries consist of

Adriaanse, ElsiesRiver, Leonsdale

and Ravensmead libraries.

Julian Schroeder, senior librari-

an at Elsies River, says the aim of

the competition is to have awinner

for each of the three languages

English, Afrikaans and Xhosa

and as the District 5 grade 7 Read-

er of the Year.

The competition also aims to es-

tablish better relationships with

schools and to raise the awareness

of reading among teachers and

learners, says Schroeder.

The competition is aimed at

Grade 7 learners as they have

reached a cognitive level where

language and concentration skills

should be well developed.

This agegroup is alsobest suita-

ble to take part in a reading compe-

tition. In addition these learners

are also at the crucial stage of exit-

The competition is aimed at

Grade 7 learners as they have

reached a cognitive level where

language and concentration skills

elft residents are using technology to

their advantage through a new mo-

bile application developed and de-

signed by ZoeAcademy of Skills which ena-

bles transactions to be done without the ex-

change of cash.

Pastor Charles George of Zoe Academy of

Skills explains that through the mobile ap-

plication, called the Jam4All Lifestyle Ap-

plication, residents can access the wi-fi set

up by the ministry and use the services on

the application absolutely free.

They can download the mobile applica-

tion and use the services, which include the

jamchat and jam jar (e-wallet). This enables

the phone user to transfer money or to chat

on the phone while in the wi-fi zone, but

once they leave the area their cellphone da-

ta need to be activated to use the applica-

tion, he says.

The e-wallet can also beused to earn cash-

back at local retailers connected to the ap-

plication. This means that when someone

purchases a product at a store connected to

the application, no cash transfer occurs.

The customer simply receives a codewhich

they punch into their phone which will

transfer the owed amount to the retail own-

er, Charles explains.

He says that the resident has to purchase

the points at the ministry offices and it is

then loaded onto the customers phone.

We want to create a certain lifestyle in

our community through the use of this spe-

cial application to ensure that residents

support each other and encourage support

of local businesses, thereby reducing the

use of cash in the communitys environ-

ment, Charles says.

The application also has a loyalty pro-

grammewhere the local business gives loy-

alty rewards to the community and commu-

nity members in return for support.

This shows the community they care

and are involved in the community and as

many businesses want to offer rewards but

struggle with the admin of tracking, calcu-

lating and paying rewards, this application

provides a simple solution, he says.

Charles says their aim is to enable its sub-

scribers to save money on communication

costs and earn meaningful rewards from

participating businesses for their commu-

nities and themselves by consciously di-

recting their spending power to participat-

ing businesses. Download the Jam4All ap-

plication on your cellphones play store.

Considering the challenges faced by the

youth of today, it is no easy task to pro-

tect a child.

With child protectionweek underway,

rescue service ER24 shared valuable ad-

vice on what parents can do to ensure

their child or childrens safety.

First and foremost, get to know your

children. A close relationship or bond

with them will help you determine if

anything is wrong. Let them know they

can come to you should they need help,

says spokesperson Chitra Bodasing.

Educate your children about the dan-

gers they face and openly discuss topics

likedruguse, alcohol abuse, sexandpeer

pressure. If need be, seek help from pro-

fessionals.

Abuse, sexual assault, abduction and

violence are real challenges faced by

youth today.Therefore youhave to teach

your children not to go anywhere alone,

never to go to secluded areas or any-

where with a stranger, she says.

Even if approached by someone they

know, they should obtain your permis-

sion first before going anywhere with

that person. Inform them that should

they feel unsafe around someone, they

should try to run away and scream to get

the attention of other people whomay be

around them.

She reminds parents to always set a

good example for their children.

A home is a place where a child

should feel safe and loved. Ensure a

healthy family environment. Remember

that children watch you.

It is crucial to never leave children un-

attended or in an unsafe environment.

If your children are left in the care of

someone else while you are at work, for

example, ensure the person can be trust-

ed. If in doubt, find an alternative. Also,

ensure your children know their names,

your name and who to contact in case of

an emergency when they are of a young

age, she says.

Teach children about the use of social

media, the internet and cellular phones.

They should be made aware of the dan-

gers and rules should be put in place to

prevent them being exposed to preda-

tors.

Bodasing says its important not to be

overprotective as long as reasonable

rules are in place.

Pay attention to them, listen to them,

spend timewith them and let themknow

that you care.Be involved inyour childs

life. Findoutwhat their interests are and

support them where necessary. Remem-

ber that your child and their well-being

is your number one priority.

children safe
