THROWBACK THURSDAY | 50TH CELEBRATIONS

1989: Ons skool verskyn in die Huisgenoot!

Way back in 1989 our school became newsworthy because of the strict discipline that mr Ossie Theron and management maintained.

Mnr. Ossie was berug vir die manier hoe hy die skool met streng reëls en dissipline gelei het. Hy het beslis sy stempel afgedruk. Die groot omstredenheid was oor die feit dat ons leerders tydens klaswisseling in stilte deur die gange moes beweeg en ook omdat tasse slegs in die regterhand gedra mag word. Die reël was dat leerders links moes hou in die gange as hul loop en tasse regs moes dra.

Some people will say those were the good old days and as you can see in the article below - some people did not agree with this.

Lees gerus die Huisgenoot-artikel hier onder. Dit was beslis een vir die BOEKE!

AFRIKAANS | POORT 2026

Ons drie Poort-skrywers - Synteché Hodson, Jano Naudé en Steyn du Plessis - het vandag die groot voorreg gehad om hul bekroonde Poort-skryfstukke aan die gasvrye mense van Oasis Life boekklub (in Clara Anna Fontein) voor te lees.

Synteché is vroeër die kwartaal aangewys as Nasionale wenner van die Poort-kompetisie. Jano se opstel en Steyn se gedig word ook opgeneem in die Poort-bundel van 2026.

Die boekklub het die Afrikaans Departement genader en ons leerders uitgenooi om hul werke te kom deel met 'n groep lieflike, belese hartsmense.

Dit was werklik 'n sielverkwikkende ervaring en het so baie vir ons drie skrywers - asook gehoor - beteken.

Me. Marx - hul Afrikaans-onnie, en me. Laubscher, is uitgenooi na hierdie ongelooflike spesiale geleentheid.

Dit was beslis een vir die boeke en 'n ervaring wat nog lank in harte sal eggo.
