Well, it’s official. AWSUM now has them too! Here’s how they work …

WHAT ARE QR CODES? Well, they are similar to normal barcodes you find on everyday products. QR codes are chunks of information encoded in a two-dimensional graphic. Whereas a supermarket barcode consists of vertical lines, a QR code encodes info vertically and horizontally – so you can get more info on it. You scan QR codes with your mobile phone or tablet.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND QR CODES? A QR code might contain nutritional information on your breakfast cereal box. Or it can contain travel information at your bus stop, or a link to an online timetable. A code can be included on your business card, e.g. to include a direct link to your online CV, or links to resources such as an online video. You scan it with your mobile phone, and can then access specific information, or online resources, connected to that object. It’s a

quick (hence the Q in QR) and easy way to link the physical world with the virtual world.

HOW DO YOU READ QR CODES? These are the two essential things you need to read a QR code:• a mobile smart phone or tablet with a camera• a piece of software called a QR reader: this you can download for free from most app stores. • Open the QR reader app on your phone. Point your phone camera at the bar code and snap!▪ If your phone is scanning the code correctly, you will then see a link and be taken to it immediatelyScan the two QR codes at the top of this paper to read AWSUM online or to like us on Facebook. Happy scanning!

HERE ARE SOME FUN WAYS THAT OTHERS HAVE USED THEIR QR CODES:

QR (Quick Response) codes are popping up everywhere!Perhaps you’ve seen them in magazines and on billboards. On a web page

or even on someone’s t-shirt?

I enter the art room. My eyes wander along the walls, notice the familiar paint tubes, brushes, pallets, stacks of water-colour paper, ink bottles splashed with drops of black ink. I am intensely aware of excitement rising up in me, my hands longing to touch, to take, to do, to make…A smile starts in the corner of my mouth and splashes all over my face. I feel alive. I feel deep, joyful, secure. I know where I am. I know who I am. I know what I can…I am….I am Free….to express all inside of me. No fear of judgement. No fear of ridicule. No fear. Joy. I am Bold….I know I can. I know I may. And therefore I will. I will dare. I will dream. I will do.I am Wise…every challenge an avenue

for a solution.I am Willing…I will surrender to possibili-ties. I will grow.I am Able….I can communicate, share messages words cannot convey. Lan-guage does not define the limits of my thinking. I can say what cannot be said.I am Real…images in my mind becomes real, is expressed for others to view. I exist. I create.

Like Felix Torres I can say….Above all else

It is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here.

I was happy. I was sad.I was in love. I was afraid.

I was hopeful.I had an idea and I had a good purpose

That’s why I made works of art

A TART WITH A DIFFERENCE!Beetroot tart with baby rocket (serves 4)This is such a simple tart, yet it always gets a “wow” from my guests because it looks so beautiful on a plate. If beetroot is not your favourite, use grilled tomatoes and basil.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:1 sheet ready-made puff pastry, 1 egg, beaten

Topping1 cup cream cheese½ cup heavy creamjuice of one lemon4 large cooked beetroots, thinly sliced and patted dry

Salad¼ cup olive oil½ tablespoon lemon juicesalt and pepper2 cups baby rocket¼ cup Parmesan shavings

WHAT TO DO:Preheat the oven to 200◦C. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and then roll out the puff pastry until it is 4mm thick. Cut out four discs with an 11.5cm round pastry cutter. Using a sharp knife, lightly score around the pastry discs 1cm from the edge, taking care not to cut through the pastry. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and place the pastry discs on to a non-stick baking sheet. Poke a few holes in the pastry and place in the oven on the middle shelf. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool.

58ste verjaarsdag Hier is van Lochnerhof se Superhelde wat saam met ander Lochies die skool se 58ste verjaarsdag gevier het.

Die afgelope week het Laerskool Lochnerhof se kinders geskitter! “Springmielies”, ons skool se eie musiekblyspel, was ‘n reuse sukses en almal het dit vreeslik geniet!

Felicia en Anel het die 0/12 WP span gehaal vir Netbal. Bianca het die Wes-Kaap kleure verwerf vir Netbal. Groot prestasie vir Lochnerhof. Baie geluk dogters. Netbal vat vlam by Lochies!

Vanjaar was OMGEE-WEEK vanaf 4-8 Augustus.

Die doelwit was om ons leerders bewus te maak van ander se seer en nood en om in liefde na almal rondom ons uit te reik. Elke graad konsentreer op ‘n spesifieke tema en dan word benodigdhede ingesamel om aan die onderskeie organisasies te skenk.

This year WE CARE WEEK took place from 4-8 August. The aim was to make our learners aware of the needs of others and to reach out with love and compassion to those around us. Each grade concentrated on a specific theme

and necessities were collected to donate to these organisations.Die jaarlikse omgeeweekprojek is aan die Nasionale Instituut vir Dowes gewy. Elke leerling het ‘n spaarbussie ontvang om met kleingeld vol te maak. Die aantal boepensbussies is ‘n goeie getuienis van ons De Hoopers se ruimhartigheid. Elkeen se kleingeld kan ‘n verskil maak.

National Institute for the Deaf provides education, occupational- and ministry care to people with hearing loss. By supporting NID you can powerfully change the lives of deaf people and those who are affected by hearing loss.

De Hoop Gee Om/De Hoop Cares

Sharing is caring. Ruby Cilliers, grade 1E1, is very pleased with her chocablock money box. Each learner received a money box to collect small change in. This De Hoop ‘We care’ project is in aid of The Institute for the Deaf.

Mnr. Roelofse van die Instituut vir Dowes was die gasspreker tydens die jaarlikse Omgeeweek. Hier staan hy by die spaarbussies wat ons sommer na die “dowe boksies” herdoop het. Die geld wat ingesamel is, word gebruik om vir gehoorgestremdes ‘n beter lewe te skep.

Give a dog a bone! Gr 5A3 contributes more than a bone. The organisation PETS will benefit immensely from the pet food contributions of these grade 5 learners.

De Hoop skop ‘n suksesvolle Omgeeweek af met ‘n saalbyeenkoms wat aan die Instituut vir Dowes gewy word. Leerlinge, onderwysers en ouers het hulle harte wyd oopgemaak om verskeie organisasies in die gemeenskap te help tydens Omgeeweek.

Tydens Omgeeweek het elke graad ‘n organisasie in die gemeenskap aangeneem om te ondersteun en te wys dat hul omgee. Die graad 6-klasse het hul harte vir Helderberg Hospitaal oopgemaak.

Wie oortjies het moet hoor! Gr. 3A3 het tydens Omgeeweek op gehoorgestremdes gefokus. Interessante feite oor gehoorgestremdheid is uitgeruil en leerlinge kon in gebaretaal met mekaar kommunikeer.

Dié gr. 1-pikkies, Janko Saunders, Franco Retief en Megan Clark, staan breëbors voor hul omgee-uitstalling. Die graad 1’s het pragtige prente geteken en huiskonstruksies van ons gemeenskap gemaak tydens omgeeweek.

Courage grows when we dare, Unity grows when we cheer, Love grows when we

share, and relationship grows when we care!

Die afgelope naweek (1 – 2 Augustus) het SWPS en Hendrik Louw aan Interskole meegeding. Die spanne is gedurende Vrydag se ‘Big Brag’ voorgestel en die leerders het die voorreg gehad om vir Justin Dill (0/19 Proteas Krieketspeler) te ontmoet, wat as gasspreker opgetree het. Al SWPS se spanne het puik presteer. Spesiale geluk aan die 0/7-netbalspanne wat hierdie seisoen steeds onoorwonne is.

After the clean up one of the children came and hugged me and thanked me again for nothing really. Just the fact that this initiative by Auriol Hays provided a platform for doing something together.

Somerset College

The Archbishop Emeritus Tutu visited Somerset College last week as the guest speaker at the annual David Wynne Lecture. (Mr Wynne was the founding headmaster of Somerset College.) Tutu addressed the Senior School students who he referred to as South Africa’s “Born Free” generation. The “Born Frees” were born after the country’s first fully democratic elections in 1994 and have grown up without apartheid. Tutu spoke about the conflict in Gaza; South Africa’s transition to

democracy; Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment; human beings being defined by other fellow human beings; and he spoke about Ubuntu. Put simply; Tutu said “we need each other to be human; for togetherness”. “Ubuntu fosters forgiveness, compassion and magnanimity, which are like oxygen for the human soul,” commented The Archbishop. Tutu’s address was uplifting, thought provoking and humorous. “Looking around me here

today gives me great hope for this country,” Tutu told the students. “Go out and make a difference to God’s world!” Tutu left the school chapel to a standing ovation. It was indeed a privilege to have this Nobel Peace Prize Winner, social rights activist and retired Anglican Archbishop address Somerset College students.

Grand Master Gata Kamsky gets taken down!

Pasch-skoolstatus vir talle Paul RoosersPRG se koor het onlangs ‘n fenomenale prestasie behaal deur nie net vir die eerste keer in die geskiedenis van Paul Roos te kwalifiseer vir ATKV se Applous-Koorkompetisie nie, maar ook deur die seunskore-afdeling vir minder ervare kore te wen. Die beoordelaars by Applous was uiters beïndruk met liedjies soos Festival Sanctus en Mama Thandeka - die koor se troefkaart, met Stehaan Malherbe wat ‘n solostuk gelewer het en die gehoor se harte gewen het met dié tranetrekker.Die gehoor was ook stomgeslaan deur die indrukwekkende bewegings wat uitgevoer is saam met die liedjie Thina Singo - net nog ‘n bewys dat Paul Roosers nie met twee linkervoete gebore word nie.

The big news for the round was the impressive comeback from Paul Roos Gymnasium Old Boy Henry Steele. Kamsky had the pressure but Henry acted like the ‘man van staal’ and withstood the pressure. Once he did that, he showed superlative technique to bring the full point home. We played from 2pm until 7:30pm and Henry showed supreme concentration to

bring home the point. Grand Master Kamsky is a former world champion candidate having contested the world championship title in 1996 in Elista. Known to all as a tough nut to crack, Henry showed that Africa has the players to beat the top players in the world.Well done, Henry! Gary Kasparov came around more than once and pulled some

faces when he saw the position of Kamsky. We all smiled as we understood that Kamsky was embarrassed! Henry, however, took everything in his stride! Let’s celebrate the fine victory by Henry Steel! Viva Henry viva!

Gedurende die Junie/Julie vakansie het Pieter Brand en Marius van der Westhuizen as deel van ’n taalkursus na die klein Duitse dorpie Schlitz (naby Frankfurt) gereis. Die ongelooflike ondervinding, wat volbetaalde beurse ter waarde van byna R50 000 behels, is moontlik aangesien Paul Roos deel van die Duitse regering se Pasch-projek is. Ons is een van vier skole in Suid-Afrika waar die Duits-onderrig bykomend spesiaal deur die Goethe Instituut ondersteun word. Hierdie ongelooflike geleenthede danksy Paul Roos se ons Pasch-skoolstatus, het al die wêreld vir talle Paul Roosers oopgesluit en ons hoop in die toekoms is daar nog baie wat voordeel hieruit sal trek.

Hier ondersteun Keegan Daniels, Keenan Marais en Dylan November vir Jean Ellis (kapt.) tydens die wedstryd. HHH het met 24-12 gewen. Die drieë is gedruk deur Keenan Marais, Keenan Brinkhuis, Dylan Jafta en Dylan Scholtz. Dylan Scholtz het 2 drieë verdoel. Daar is vanjaar 3 Keenan’s en 3 Dylan’s in die o.19A-rugbyspan!

Die Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland het ‘n fondsinsameling met Ina Paarmanprodukte geloods. Bianca Kriel, een van die leerders, het saam met ander leerders, personeel en ouers gehelp om die bestellings te pak.

Keanu Barry, captain of the u.18A boys’ hockey team at Hottentots-Holland High School, in action against Parel Vallei High School. Keanu was the captain of the Boland B Boys’ Hockey Team that took part in the IPT in Port Elizabeth during the past holidays. Keanu is also the head boy of Hottentots-Holland High School.

Tylah Terblanche, link of the u.18A girls’ hockey team of Hottentots-Holland High School, scored the winning goal against Hermanus High School. HHH won by 1-0 .

Die trompoppies van die Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland het aan die derde WP Binnemuurse Trompoppiekompetisie deelgeneem en stof in die oë van die ander spanne geskop. Die HHH-span is in voorbereiding vir die SA Trompoppiekampioenskappe wat tydens die Oktober-skoolvakansie by Vygieskraal sal plaasvind. Shannon Farmer, leidster van die HHH Drummies, het die eerste plek behaal in die “Small Drill”-kompetisie. Die onderleidsters het ‘n derde plek behaal en die vlaegroep het ‘n tweede plek behaal.

Leon en Nadia Willscot en Karin Brown het die karaoke by die Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland terdeë geniet. The “Back to School” karaoke night at Hottentots-Holland High School took the guests down memory lane! Sherrol and Cornell were dressed in school uniform.

Hottentots-Holland High School has qualified for the Artscape High School Drama Festival. Under the direction of the English teacher, Darryl Spijkers, the two workshopped plays will be showcased on 12 August at 18:00 at the Artscape Arena. The two plays have been created under the theme of democracy and will enjoy a further run

at the HHHArts Festival from 19 – 22 August. “It is the first time that HHH has participated and, from over 40 schools, we are glad to have made the top 16! There is so much talent to be found at our local schools. The learners are truly inspiring” says Spijkers. Victoria and Alfred’s Last Day is a slice of life of two hobos living on Church Street in Cape Town. Set in 1994 and written for the High School Artscape Drama Festival under the theme of ‘Democracy’, this

play is filled with pathos and smiles, memories and love. Natalie and Jimmy are on their way to vote in the first democratic election but wake up to see an audience before them. They go on to tell their stories and reveal some deeper secrets. As the play ends we are left with a performance that will linger long after the lights have faded. The Mandela Girls is a topical gripping thriller. When Nelson Mandela was released from jail in 1990, the menial lives of four maids working on a remote farm in the Cape Province change forever. Entangled in a messy crime, the untold story of those women is retold and redemption prevails. Tickets are R40 and can be booked through Computicket.

Lyn-Jay Hendricks van die Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland stuur die o.19A-rugbyspan weg na ‘n oorwinning oor die Hoërskool JG Meiring. HHH het met 26-18 gewen.

Nuwe Rugbytruie vir PV!

Hoërskool Parel Vallei se rugby het ’n gedaanteverwisseling ondergaan met ’n nuwe rugbytrui wat in gebruik geneem is. Sedert die aankoms van die nuwe skoolhoof, mnr. David Schenck, het daar al verskeie nuwe verwikkelinge by die skool plaasgevind en is die nuwe rugbytrui is die mees onlangse. Volgens mnr. Lukas Muller, rugbyorganiseerder van die skool is Parel Vallei tans besig om ’n nuwe struktuur en kultuur te skep onder leiding van die nuwe skoolhoof. “Ek dink dit is belangrik om aan jong spelers die geleentheid te gee om tot hulle volle potensiaal te ontwikkel en om ook hulle rugbydrome te kan bereik.

Ons bied daardie geleentheid aan ons spelers.” Die nuwe rugbytrui, ontwerp deur meneer Francois Visser (van PV), met die skool se wapen op die linkerbors, is vir die eerste keer op Saterdag, 26 Julie, teen Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland, op Parel Vallei se velde gedra. Die truie is oorhandig deur mev. Janke Kleefstra, van die Auriga Trust onder leiding van Barry en Karin de Beer, wat verantwoordelik was vir die borg van die truie. Parel Vallei het ook as oorwinnaars uit die stryd getree, waar die wendrie in die laaste beweging van die wedstryd gedruk is. “’n Mens kon sien die outjies het vir die nuwe trui gespeel en nooit

gaan lê of moed opgegee nie. Iets wat eie is aan ’n ware Parel Valleier. Ek glo dit is die begin van groot dinge vir ons skool se rugby”, het Muller gesê.

Onder top 100 skoleParel Vallei is wéér onder die top 100 skole in die Suid-Afrikaanse Wiskunde-olimpiade se derde rondte! Wiskunde is vir seker een van PV se sterkpunte! Meer as 80 000 leerders vanoor die hele land neem jaarliks deel aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Wiskunde-olimpiade (Harmony). Slegs die top 100 leerders in die land dring deur na die derde en beslissende rondte. Parel Vallei haal al die afgelope 10 jaar hierdie rondte. Vanjaar het vier Parel Valleiers deurgedring!

Omrede Parel Vallei die meeste leerders het wat deurgedring het, sal ons skool as sentrum dien vir die volgende rondte van die olimpiade op: 10 September. Sterkte aan dié vier Parel Valleiers. Ons glo dit sal weer net so goed gaan soos in die verlede!

Hulle is v.l.n.r: Werner v.d. Merwe (gr.10); Mark Doyle (gr.11); Stefan le Roux (gr.9) en Charl du Toit (gr. 9).

Estelle placed third in her category in this year’s Chaeli Campaign Art and Poetry competition. She was invited to attend a workshop given by a recognized South African poet where she had the chance to enhance and develop her poetic skills.

On Wednesday 6th August, about 15 Interact Society members and other girls assisted Rotary Club of Stellenbosch to organize and label toys to be distributed around the Boland area to underprivileged children. The girls spent the afternoon sorting toys into bags that will make their way to many children to assist in their early childhood development.

Rhenish Learner Council hosted their annual talent competition on 30 July. Superstars is a highly anticipated event on the school calendar where the girls have the opportunity to share their talents with the very appreciative audience. The acts range from standup comedy, to dance, to musical items to singing. Proceeds from the evening are donated to the Safe House in Stellenbosch. The winners this year were Daniella Teixeira (1st), Tess de Waal (2nd) and Sharon Matholi (3rd).

“For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.”

Final rehearsals are underway for the musical extravaganza, “Rhythm of Life”, proudly presented by the Music Department of Rhenish Girls’ High on Tuesday 12 August and Wednesday 13 August. The Revue showcases the Rhenish choirs (Junior and Senior), solo artists and the orchestra, sharing the amazing talent and variety of the rhythm of life.

Michelle, along with 27 Rhenish learners participated in the National English Olympiad. Michelle, a Grade 10 learner, was placed 27th in South Africa in this examination and has won a scholarship for a first year at Rhodes University. Rhenishers achieved 3 Golds, 14 Silver, 5 Bronze and 4 Merits in the Olympiad.

Two of Rhenish’s top tennis players participated in tennis tournaments around the country during the recent school holidays. Cindy Dorrington (Grade 10) participated in the women’s open in Gauteng East and Gauteng Central and qualified for the (International Tennis Federation) ITF tournament in Wanderers. Megan Lombardi (Grade 8) had excellent results in the U14 age group. She made the Final in Kwazulu Natal and finish 3rd both in Gauteng East and Gauteng Central. Both girls are improving their ranking. Cindy is currently a top 20 player in the U16 age group and Megan a top 10 player in the U14 age group.

Die o.15-span het weggestap as die Wes-Kaap se top span en het ‘n 6de plek landwyd behaal. Die o.17-span het algeheel 15de in Suid-Afrika gekom. Dit is die eerste maal in 11 jaar wat Bloemhof aan hierdie kompetisie deelneem.

Bloemhof Accelerando het die naweek van 1 en 2 Augustus uitstekend in die ATKV Applous Finaal in Pretoria gevaar. Hulle het in die finaal van die Minder Ervare Hoërskoolkore 86.7% en ‘n goue toekenning ontvang. Hulle het ‘n algehele vierde plek in hierdie afdeling behaal.
