2 LifestyleHobbies = Balance in 2014One New Year’s resolution all of us should keep is to have a proper work or school - life balance.Balancing work and life means making time for work, making time for family and making time for yourself and when you choose a hobby you can find a way to express your personal interests. Other advantages include time to relax to reduce stress levels, a physical hobby can promote exercise and you can also find new skills and uncover hidden talents. You may also meet new friends, keep your brain sharp or make money. The benefits are endless.

Don’t make procrastination the thief of your time. Get up from the couch and make 2014 AWSUM!

Choosing your hobbyHobbies should never interfere with time spent working or with time spent with the family. Write down you schedule to find time that you can devote to your hobby.

Hobbies for the familyThe whole family can participate in a hobby. Here are a few options:• If you like adventure and exploration,

try hiking or camping• Establish your own movie club and

watch a movie once a week. Make popcorn, put on your pj’s and then talk about the movie afterwards.

• Scrapbooking is also a popular family hobby. Print family photos and decorate scrapbook pages together.

More hobbies to choose from:• Gardening: whether you live in the

city or countryside, it’s easy to enjoy gardening.

• Photography is the perfect hobby for someone with a creative eye. Search online for a photography course near

you.• Learn to play an instrument. There

are so many to choose from!• Is your New Year resolution to lose

weight? Maybe it’s time to join an organised sport.

• Master a new language!• Sign up for pottery or cooking

classes

Maybe you are more a people-person and

enjoy meeting new people. Take a hobby that involves other people:• WineTasting• Fleamarkets• Bingo

• Bowling• Teamsports

• BookClubs

“If you want to be certain, you should never get married. You should never change jobs. In fact, you might as well just stay home. Because I don’t know anybody who is certain. That need to be certain is just procrastination.

Sometimes, the smallest of household tasks are overlooked therefore the New Year signifies a fresh start in the home and is the perfect time to check them all off your list. Here are 10 simple but essential housekeeping chores you might not have remembered to do:

1. Rotate your mattress at least once a year. 2. Feather, down, and syntheticpillows should be washed once a year to eliminate oils, residue, dead skin, and dust that inevitably settle in the pillows and make them sag. 3. If you don’t remember changing your toothbrush within the last six months, change them all.4. Now is a good time to take stock of your inventory and replace, repurpose, or give away any linens that are worn, ripped, stained, or otherwise unused, collecting dust in the closet. 5. Refresh closet sachets, or make new ones.6. UV rays are an excellent (and green and free) source of disinfectant. You can’t exactly throw a rug into the washer, but you can easily haul it outside, fling it over a railing (or on a clean surface), and give it a few hours in direct sun to air it out and kill any bacteria in the fibers. 7. Rugs placed near windows and doors will eventually fade from the bright, hot rays streaming in (even if it’s indirect light), so it’s important to spin them around 180 degrees (after you air them out, of course!) and expose the other side to sun for even fading. 8. Give your cutting boards a good scrub using our all-natural solution, then oil them up to ensure they’ll last through the next holiday season.9. Gather up your unused canned goods, ill-fitting clothes, outgrown toys, obsolete electronics, and recent gifts you have a feeling you’ll never use, and drop them off at the appropriate food banks, charities, thrift stores, or electronic recycling centers. 10. To be prepared for tax time (and maybe give yourself a little motivation), clean out your receipt drawer to make room for new receipts.

For most parents, it’s an achievement to get the children to school in time with everything they need (homework, the signed consent forms, the right sports kit, musical instruments, the cake for the charity fundraiser).

You can`t tell your children not to bring their textbooks to and from school – but what if the consequences of a consistently overloaded backpack is neck, back and shoulder pain?

Children’s skeletons are still developing, and having a heavy bag slung over one shoulder can exert unnatural force on the

spine, muscles and attachments. Rather like exercising only one side

of your body in the gym, you quickly get unilateral muscle-loading, which can cause the small muscles in the back to tighten and compress the spine.

Studies show children should not carry any more than 10 per cent of their body weight and that anything over 15 per cent can cause back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and other spinal discomfort, not to mention aggravate pre-existing spinal conditions such as scoliosis.

Young people are made even more

vulnerable to back problems by their increasing inactivity — muscles don’t develop properly if you spend your time playing computer games instead of running around. This is compounded by poor posture and one-size-fits-all furniture.

It’s been shown that if you experience back pain as a child, you are four times more likely to have to endure back pain as an adult.

The first priority in purchasing a backpack is to select function over fashion. Here are a few criteria to consider when choosing a better functional backpack:

• Thebackpackshouldfitproperly(not too long or too short).

• It should have wide, paddedadjustable straps (for proper positioning - so the pack sits high on the back and close to the spine.)

• Abackpackwithahip straporlumbar pillow provides additional protection. The hip strap, when used can distribute a portion of the weight to the hips, easing the load on the spine and shoulders. The use of a lumbar pillow will provide the necessary back support to the lumbar region, where the greatest portion of weight is being carried.

Abackpackstuffedwith the“extra”book, binder electronic device or water bottle could easily add an unnecessary 5kg. Parents need to show their children

the importance of loading and carrying their backpacks appropriately. The heaviest items should rest against the back, which means loading them first and attempting to distribute the weight evenly.

Remember that when it comes to choosing a backpack or school bag, think function before fashion. Your child`s health depends on it. If you need more advice on the subject – talk to your chiropractor who is an expert in spinal health.

Dr. Nicola Grobler & Dr. Lochner Slabbert

The School Bag Dilemma

“Asaprofessional rugbyplayer, it isveryimportant for me to eat the right food and stayinshape,”saysJeandeVilliers,Captainof the national rugby team and Resolution HealthMedicalSchemerepresentative.“Apartfrom the set meals compiled by our fitness trainer when we are on tour, I try to eat four to six small meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a balance of protein and carbohydrates when at home. Obviously I try to steer clear of junk foods but do spoil myself occasionally with a pizza.Afteralleveryonedeservesa treateverynowandagain.”

AccordingtodeVilliers,eatingfoodsthatare low in calories do not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing for your body. “Thefoodsyouincludeinyourdietneedto be nutritious and provide energy that is sustainable. For example, when we are doing intense training I take some whey protein and glutamine supplements to help with recovery. It also assists me to be fresh for thenextday’straining,”hesays.

DeVilliersalsohighlightedtheimportanceof exercise in leading a healthy lifestyle, particularly in light of a recent survey finding that49%ofSouthAfricansdonotexerciseatall.“Youdon’tnecessarilyhave tovisitthe gym five times a week to work on your fitness levels. You can incorporate exercise into your hobbies as well. For example, apart from my rigorous training schedule, I like to be active during my downtime by playing a round of golf with my mates and walking my dogs. In fact, an average 18-hole round of golf requires anything between three and

five hours of walking, translating into a good workout while doing what you love most.

“Trainingformsaverybigpartofmylifeandin a normal week we would have six to 10 training sessions and then a game on the weekend.Atypicaltrainingsessionwouldinclude spending time in the gym combined with on-field sessions. Each session would last anything from 60min to 120min and theintensitywouldvary,”saysDeVilliers.

Healthy adults should ideally aim for 30minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day, five times a week with the aim being to increase the resting heart rate for the entire period. This threshold is usually around 180 beats per minute minus your age, provided the individual is otherwise healthy.

Die gedagte dat ŉ hoërskool leerling spraakterapie ontvang voel dalk vreemd vir baie mense. Spraakterapeute werk egter nie slegs met spraakproduksie, die uitspraak van klanke, nie. Hoërskoolleerlinge ondervind egter vele male probleme met hul akademie waar die oorsprong van probleme gegrond is in taal of luistervaardighede en dit kan dan deur ŉ spraakterapeut aangespreek word.

Spraakterapeute word soms Spraak- en taalterapeute of selfs Spraak-, taal- en gehoorterapeute genoem en dit beskryf die beroep dalk ŉ bietjie beter, aangesien terapeute in skole meestal aan taalgebaseerde probleme werk.

In die hoërskool populasie word leerlinge gesien vir probleme met enige van die volgende: hakkel, uitspraak van klanke, spraakspoed, stemprobleme byvoorbeeld heesheid, taalprobleme byvoorbeeld taalbegrip en taalgebruik, asook luistervaardighede. ŉ Leerling met ŉ taalagterstand se taal is soms merkbaar agter, maar ŉ leerling met spesifieke taalprobleme

is moeiliker om te identifiseer en toon soms probleme in vaardighede soos wiskunde waar die leerling dalk sukkel om probleme op te los en dit dan dui op probleme om die taal van wiskunde korrek te verstaan. Leerlinge toon ook soms probleme met begripstoetse of om die taal in geskrewe werk korrek te verstaan. Luistervaardighede kan ook ŉ probleem wees en kan veroorsaak dat die leerling sukkel om die gesproke woord volkome te begryp of om instruksies korrek uit te voer. In sulke gevalle kan taalterapie die leerling ondersteun.

Wanneer ŉ leerling probleme soos hierdie ondervind, is dit dalk wys om vir ŉ volledige evaluasie by ŉ spraakterapeut te gaan om vas te stel of die probleme in taal gegrond is of nie. Daarna behoort daar duidelikheid te wees watter roete gevolg moet word om hierdie probleme uit te stryk en beter akademiese prestasie tot volg te hê.

Die rol van ŉ Spraakterapeut in Hoërskole

Perdeterapie (ook bekend as hippoterapie) is ‘n arbeids-, fisio-, spraakterapie, asook sielkundige strategie waar die perd se beweging gebruik word vir terapie. Dit maak ‘n integrale deel uit van ‘n terapeutiese program vir kinders met verskeie diagnoses.

Van dié sluit in serebraal gestremdheid, o u t i s m e , l e e r g e s t r e m d h e i d , ontwikkelingsagterstand, sensoriese integrasie disfunksie, ensovoorts. Perdeterapie fokus op terapeutiese doelstellings, nie op die leer van perdry nie.

‘n Perd word gekies vir terapie om rede sy ritmiese beweging, asook die hoeveelheid stimulasie wat die kind kry gradeer kan word. Die beweging van die perd stimuleer die van ‘n mens se heupe tydens loop, en die terapeut kan die beweging saam met aktiwiteite gebruik om die terapeutiese doel te bereik.

Wat baie belangrik is, is dat die kind en die perd ‘n spesiale band ontwikkel, en die kind ‘n ‘ruiter’ identiteit ontwikkel.

Arbeidsterapeute gebruik die beweging van

die perd om motoriese beheer, posturale kontrole, koördinasie, balans, aandag en konsentrasie, sensoriese prosessering, uitvoering van daaglikse aktiwiteite, visuele perseptuele vaardighede, motoriese ontwikkeling, selfbeeld, sosiale vaardighede, en vele meer te verbeter.

Die positiewe effek op die bogenoemde komponente kan ‘n merkwaardige invloed hê op die kind se funksionering in die klaskamer en ‘n positiewe bydrae lewer tot skolastiese ontwikkeling en vooruitgang.

Om in aanraking te kom met sulke pragtige, groot diere verrig wondere in hierdie kinders, sowel as hulle naasbestaandes se lewens.

Wouldn’t we all love to cook with organic vegetables, but our busy schedules force us to buy not so fresh veggies from the local supermarket. Growing your own vegetable garden isn’t only a fun-filled activity, but also rewarding when you can cook out of your garden. We share a few tips with you to get that garden going:

1. SoilFor most types of gardens, the perfect soil is a quality light loam made up of nutrient-rich organic matter and a composition of relatively equal amounts of sand, silt and clay. In general, the more organic matter the better.

Not sure what kind of soil you’re working with? Simply grab a handful of moist (not saturated) soil and squeeze. If the clump falls apart as soon as you open your hand, you’re dealing with a very sandy soil; if the clump stays intact, then your soil contains too much clay. Loamy soils hold together to some degree, but crumble when poked; that’s what you want to see.

Once the soil type is determined, you should run a basic soil test to determine its pH as well as the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous levels. Many universities and extension offices offer soil testing, but home tests (obtained at your local nursery or online) are satisfactory.

2. Which is better – seeds or seedlings?

It’s certainly easier to start your vegetable garden by planting directly into the garden, by-passing indoor seed starting and transplanting. However some vegetables take several months to mature from seed, so it’s just not practical to direct sow them in the garden where the growing season is short. That’s why, when it comes to long season plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, most gardeners either start their own plants indoors or purchase seedlings

from the nursery. The choice between direct seeding and transplanting seedlings comes down to 2 basic questions:

1. Does the vegetable transplant well?2. Is your growing season long enough for the vegetables to mature when planted from seed?

Vegetables that are usually direct seeded: Beans, beets, carrots, corn, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, micro greens, peas, pumpkins, radishes, squash, turnips and watermelons.Vegetables that transplant well: Basil, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, chives, collards, eggplant, mustard, onions, parsley, peppers and tomatoes.

3.Garden VS Containers and pots

You don’t need a plot of land to grow fresh vegetables. Many vegetables lend themselves well to container gardening. With some thought to selecting bush or dwarf varieties, almost any vegetable can be adapted to growing in a pot. Even if you want your favorite full-size variety, if you give it a large enough pot and plenty of soil and water, it will grow just fine and reward you with plenty.

You can use soil in your container vegetable garden, but potting mixes are much better. Peat-based mixes, containing peat and vermiculite, are excellent.

4.No space? Do it indoors!

Growing edibles indoors gives you year-round access to seasonal favourites.

Live healthy with your own vegetable garden

An increase in the amount and quality of shut-eye should be at the top of everyone’s New Year’s Resolution list as numerous studies have proven the physical and emotional health benefit of getting 7 – 8 hours of sleep per night. This is according to Doctor Jacques Snyman, clinical advisor for Resolution Health Medical Scheme.

“Various studies have proven the power of regular, sufficient and quality sleep with results showing a marked increase in memory, learning, creativity, productivity, emotional stability and physical health. In fact, the Ryerson University of Toronto found that curing insomnia in people with depression doubled their chance of a full recovery,” Snyman highlights.

It can even help you to lose weight with a Brigham Young University study revealing that higher quality sleep of 8.5 hours a night is associated with a lower body fat percentage.

An inadequate amount of sleep can also result in a number of negative implications

for one’s health, including obesity, hypertension, heart and blood vessel disease and diabetes, as well as possible harmful effects on mental health.

Sleeping tips

• Where possible, stick to a regular routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time• Incorporate a relaxing pre-sleep ritual into your daily routine. Examples include having a warm bath, reading a book or having a warm cup of herbal tea• Exercise daily• Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and heavy meals 2 – 3 hours before bedtime• Create a sleep inducing environment: dark, quiet and cool

Getting sufficient sleep is one of the easiest ways to improve your lifestyle and basic health. Thankfully, it’s a rather enjoyable activity to add to your New Year’s Resolution list and not hard to incorporate into your everyday life.

Be sure to get your sleep this year

Gemengde gevoelens is die afgelopetyd ontlok, nadat Suid-Afrika ̀ n nuwe,veiliger standard vir kragproppe (bekend as SANS 164-2) aanvaar het. Geen meerfrustrasies tydens oorse se reise as jy jou internasionale kragprop-aanpasser vergeet het nie. Alhoewel hulle noem dat dit nog ̀ n paar jaar kan neem voordat ons elektrieseware met dié nuwe punte op die rake gaan kry, kan ons onsstelsel matig regmaak vir dié verandering.

Suid-Afrika het vir lank ons eie drie-pen prop gebruik wat nêrens anders in die wêreld ook gebruik word nie. Ons land se unieke prop spruit uit die feit dat, as ‘n voormalige Britse kolonie , Suid-Afrika die Britse standaard van drie groot ronde penne so vroeg as die 1930’s aangeneem het. Toe die VN oorgeskakel het na plat penne in die 1970’s, moes Suid-Afrika gevolg het, maar het nie - hoofsaaklik as gevolg van kommersiële redes.

Suid-Afrika het geen ander keuse as om inderhaas hierdie stel standaarde te aanvaar nie, omdat verskeie vervaardigers nie bereid is om spesifieke weergawes vir die klein Suid-Afrikaanse mark te maak nie.

Die voorgestelde nuwe SANS 164-2 prop sal drie vlakke van veiligheid hê en sal die veiligste kragpunt in die wêreld te wees, met slegs Switserland se prop-punte wat naby aan die vlak van veiligheid kom.Bron: www.techcentral.co.za

Drie van die skool se krieket spanne het gedurende die vakansie aan onderskeie toernooie deelgeneem. o.15 A na Somerset CollegeDie 0.15 A span het deelgeneem aan die jaarlikse toernooi waar top skole van oral teen mekaar meeding. Die 1ste dag het hierdie span in ‘n voldag wedstryd vir Centurion geklop met 6 paaltjies. Die 2de dag van die toernooi moes hul ongelukkig na ‘n goeie begin verloor teen Rondebosch. Op die 3de dag speel hierdie span twee 20/20 wedstryde agtereenvolgend. Hul verloor die eerste ene naelskraap teen St Sithians maar kom mooi terug en klop Somerset College met 100 lopies in die 2de wedstryd. Hul hou die beste vir laaste en klop die magtige Wynberg met 4 paaltjies op die laaste dag. Sowaar ‘n merkwaardige prestasie van hierdie groep seuns om 3 van hul 5 wedstryde te wen. o.19 B na Graaff ReinetDie 2de span vertrek na die Karoo om aan hierdie pragtige dorp se jaarlikse kriekettoernooi deel te neem en teen ander skole se onderskeie 1ste spanne te speel. Ongelukkig a.g.v die weer kon die eerste wedstryd teen Pinelands nie voltooi word nie. Op die 2de dag klop hul Marlow se 1ste span gemaklik met 6 paaltjies en wen selfs die laaste wedstryd met slegs 2 lopies teen Bergvliet. Baie geluk aan die jong 2de span wat onoorwonne van hierdie toernooi af teruggekeer het. o.19 A Western Cape Cricket festivalDie 1ste span speel 4 wedstryde teen topskole van oral oor die land. Die 1ste dag se wedstryd is teen Westville van Durban, die wedstryd word onder spreiligte gespeel en die 1ste span klop hul met 91 lopies. Dag 2 speel ons weer op die skool se A-veld teen Durban High School en klop hul met 5 paaltjies. Die laaste 2 wedstryde vind onderskeidelik by SACS en Wynberg plaas. Die 1ste span klop Northwood van Natal met 6 paaltjies op Sondag en die laaste wedstryd is teen St. Johns van Johannesburg op Wynberg se velde.

New Orleans se Lucky 7 verower Bloemfontein

7 is die nuwe gelukkige nommer vir New Orleans se 7 ‘s rugbyspan wat in 7 wedstryde by die SA school National Championship in Bloemfontein gespeel het en al 7 gewen het.

Krieket SA stuur belowende krieketspelers na New Orleans

Mnr Ricardo Kermis nuutaangestelde krieketafrigter by New Orleasns is spesifiek deur Krieket SA aangestel om spelers te werf wat opgeneem kan word in verskillende Junior Bolandspanne.

New Orleans bied huidiglik die leerders die kans om teen die beste krieketskole te kan meeding in top kompetisies.

Volgens mnr. Kermis is dit “my passie om leerders te help en my ervaring te gebruik om ook vir hulle iets te kan kan leer en om hulle te inspireer om aan te sluit by ‘n kultuur waar sport en akademie trots die naam van die skool op sosiale vlakke hoog te hou.”

Mnr Kermis het New Orleans altyd gesien as ‘n trotse skool wat “akademies en op sportgebied ”presteer en daarom voel ek dat my aanstelling by New Orleans net tot voordeel van die skool strek. Die sewe leerders het intussen goed aangepas by hul nuwe skool en gou-gou vriende gemaak.

Al wat in hierdie leerders se pad tot sukses staan, is hul taal. Slegs een van hulle kan Afrikaans praat die res kan nie ‘n woord Afrikaans praat nie en hulle is by ‘n skool waar 90 % van die leerders Afrikaans praat.

Stampvol skole ...

Nuwe graad 8’s wys hoe bly hulle is dat hulle plek by New Orleans gekry het

As jy by die skoolhek instap, het jy hulle dadelik gesien. Die nuwelinge met hul rompies nog helder turkoois, seuns met kraakwit hemde en almal saamgedrom voor die admin-gebou.

Temeera Bhosale sê dat sy baie senuweeagtig was. Gaze- Leigh voel dat sy dit eers begin geniet het toe sy haar laerskool vriende sien en die skoollied het “a nice beat”.

Annecke Davids sal nie omgee om die dag weer oor te hê nie.

Toe Sean as hoofseun aangewys word, was sy klasmaats baie trots op hulle pêl.Sean, verlede jaar se dux –leerder van sy skool, het nie sy hoofseunskap na sy kop laat gaan nie Hy is ‘n all-rounder wat in graad 9 aan die WOW-spelkompetisie deelgeneem het en gesweer het, nooit weer nie . Die volgende jaar het hy deelgeneem aan die Debatskompetisie en dis hier waar hy so spitsvondig geraak het. Sy gunsteling spreekwoord het toe waar geword: “Ek hoor wat jy sê, maar ek stem nie juis saam nie”. Hy het toe die Stadsklerk van die Paarl se Junior Stadsraad geword. Voorts is hy ook n kranige rugbyspel en die kersie op die koek ...hy het altyd ‘n grap gereed.

Seymor , die hoofdogter is ‘n nog groter verrassing. Seymour het nooit haar mond oopgemaak nie maar die stil dogter het almal verras toe sy haar hoofdogterstoespraak lewer. Sy is ook een van die beste spelers in haar hokkiespan en is verlede jaar aangewys as hokkiespeler van die jaar. Seymour is nie net ‘n erenstige JTC lid nie maar het al op ‘n vorige geleentheid haar lyfie geskud by die Pom-Pom meisie.

Nicholien ‘n klein bondeltjie energie op die verhoog soos sy drama hoog hou. Sy het ook getoor met woorde gedurende die WOW spelfees.Curtlee eet syfers vir ontbyt volgens sy mede- leerders. “Curtlee, ons watch jou.”

Ontmoet ons hoofleerders

WOW Vier A’s en 79 vak A’s vir die 2013 matrieksDie Matriekklas van 2013 het duidelik gewys dat hul die room van die oes is .Talle opvoeders wat hulle vergelyk het met die vorige groep het gedink dat die vorige groep sterker was,Maar Tiffany Abels , Shana Batts , Rameez Fredericks en Judy Garland het die skool met ‘n BANG verlaat. Hulle het almal ‘n gemiddelde A in die 2013 Matriekeksamen behaal. Rameez wat in graad 10 en graad 11 maar ‘n bietjie aangepor moes word, was die grootste verrassing. Hy het hom onderskei as die skool se top leerder.

Drostdy het op Maandag 27 Januarie teen Worcester Gimnasium gespeel. Die eerste en tweede seunspanne wen albei die Gimmies 5 – 1. Die eerste dogterspan verloor naelskraap 2 – 4. Ons is baie opgewonde oor ons tennis!

Annale van ‘n WindgatDrostdy het die jaar afgeskop deur die personeel van die omliggende laerskole die 13de Januarie te onthaal. Na verversings in die Drostdy vierkant het die gaste se lagspiere bietjie gewerk. Neels Claassen het sy skreeusnaakse eenmanstuk Annale van ‘n windgatop die plank gebring. Dis lekker om die nuwe jaar lag-lag te begin.

MadibaDie Donkies gee eer aan oudpresident Nelson Mandela wat deur sy voorbeeld vir ons almal geleer het wat vergifnis werklik is. Rus in vrede, Madiba.

Worcester Gymnasium, truly a Dinaledi schoolWorcester Gymnasium was identified as a Dinaledi school for Mathematics and Science some time back by the government. This includes increased funding and support for the school’s Mathematics and Science departments. The 2013 matrics truly vindicated this decision with their excellent results. Science is traditionally considered one of the more challenging subjects to choose from, so learners often decide to steer clear. For the 42 learners who opted to take on the challenge, their results were excellent. Of the 42 learners, 14 achieved an A for science while 9 were awarded Bs. They achieved an average of 68,5%, which is 25% higher than the WCED average. The other subject that can give learners many a nightmare has always been Mathematics. The 2013 matrics however can be quite satisfied with their excellent results; with 17 As and 15 Bs and a class average that is more than 10% higher than the WCED average. Some leaners even took on the challenge of Maths Paper 3, where 6 of the 13 learners achieved an A.
