National Women's Day is a South African public holiday celebrated on the 9th of August every year. The day commemorates the 1956 march of more than 20,000 women of all races who took to the Union Buildings in protest against pass laws that restricted Africans' freedom of movement under apartheid. The march was led by Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa, Sophia Williams and Frances Baard. The courageous and fearless women left petitions bearing more than 100,000 signatures at prime minister J.G. Strijdom's office door. They stood silently outside his door for 30 minutes and then started singing "Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo!" (You strike a woman, you strike a rock), a song that was composed to reflect the courage and power that women possess. As in the words of Seth Godin, " you are more powerful than you think you are, act accordingly." Happy women's day!

REMINDER: Positivity begets positivity. Think positively, always!

June 16, which remains etched in the minds and hearts of South Africans, honours young people who lost their lives in the struggle against the use of Afrikaans as the official medium of construction in schools back in 1976. Hector Peterson, who was only 12-years-old at the time, was the first victim of police brutality on that day. The Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum was later opened in Soweto, Orlando West, to honour him and those who lost their lives during the June 16 1976 uprising. Mbuyisa Makhubu, the man holding Hector Pieterson on the world-famous picture attached, left the country after being the most wanted person after the riots. And to date, it is not clear what happened to him. The horrific events of that fateful winter day had dire consequences for the Apartheid government when images of police firing on peacefully demonstrating students hit international headlines, thus leading to an international revulsion against the South African government as its viciousness was exposed to the world. The Class of '76 effectively played a pivotal role in paving a way to a new South Africa filled with a multitude of opportunities for young people. Do not take these opportunities for granted.

Positive reframing is a psychological technique to reconsider things in a positive light, rather than seeing every problem as complete mayhem or disaster. Positive-thinking is not only beneficial to our mental and emotional health, but it is also the engine that propels us to identify opportunities out of the challenges we encounter. Positivity begets positivity!

International Workers’ Day, previously known as May Day, is a public holiday observed on the 1st of May every year, not only in South Africa but across the globe. The history of Workers’ Day dates back to the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago, where police tried to disperse a large crowd of striking workers who were protesting for a shorter workday of eight hours. In South Africa, Workers' Day further celebrates the role played by Trade Unions, the Communist Party, and other labour movements in the struggle against Apartheid. After the first democratic elections in South Africa in 1994, May 1st was inaugurated as an official national public holiday and is used to observe the rights of the working class and to emphasise the need to establish fair labour practices across all sectors.

Freedom Day, celebrated on the 27th of April every year, honours the anniversary of South Africa’s first non-racial election of 1994. Moreover, South Africa celebrates Freedom Day to mark the liberation of its people from years and years of colonialism and Apartheid.

So, what does Freedom Day mean to a young person born into a democratic South Africa?
It means you have the voice and power to make South Africa a better place for you and its people. Realise your potential and do better! Happy Freedom Day.

“ The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, and the realist adjusts the sails.”-William Author Ward. During these challenging times, we urge every learner to develop a mindset of a realist. Learning from home is challenging, but let’s make it work. Instead of seeing this as a deterrent, see it as an opportunity to learn and master the art of working independently.

True success starts with how much you are willing to do to achieve it. Much as it may be challenging to learn from home, keep going.

Getting schoolwork done from home requires high levels of planning, discipline and time management. Excellent time management skills will help you get your work done on time and reduce stress and anxiety. Here are a few tips on how you can manage your time effectively and boost productivity:
1.Go through your assignments and accurately judge the amount of time needed to complete them before the due date.
2.Create a schedule/timetable and allocate time to each project. Ensure to record each project/assignment due date.
3.Break down your assignments into smaller chunks. Ensure this in line with each project’s due date.
4.Stick to your schedule, do not procrastinate! Procrastination is the enemy of success. Waiting until the last minute to do your work will yield poor results and unnecessary stress.
5.Start working on your assignments early in the day. Waiting until late in the evening means less energy will be expended towards your schoolwork
6.Eliminate distractions i.e cellphone, social media, friends, TV, etc. The time allocated towards schoolwork must not be spent on social media, cellphones, etc.
