Besondere prestasie in 'n landwye skryfkompetisie

Enya Visser, tans in 11A1, het einde verlede jaar deelgeneem aan 'n landwye skryfkompetisie, net vir gr. 10's. Daarin moes hulle 'n verbeelde brief aan Emily Hobhouse ('n Engelse filantroop wat haar bes gedoen het om, tydens die Anglo-Boere-oorlog in 1899 - 1902, die haglike omstandighede van vroue en kinders in konsentrasiekampe te verlig) skryf.

Die brief, getiteld "Beste Emily", moes ongeveer 500 woorde lank wees en moes 'n weldeurdagte reaksie op Hobhouse se beroemde toespraak in 1913 (d.w.s. presies 100 jaar tevore) by die Vrouemonument wees. Na 100 jaar word Emily se toespraak nog steeds as een van die bestes wêreldwyd beskou.

Die kompetisie het op 31 Oktober 2013 gesluit en einde November het Enya gehoor dat sy onder die top 50 landwyd is. In Januarie vanjaar het die beoordelaars 'n skrywe gestuur waarin aangedui is dat sy die 9de plek, uit 250 inskrywings "van hoogstaande gehalte" verower het.

Alhoewel sy nie 'n prys losgeslaan het nie(net die eerste vyf inskrywings het prysgeld ontvang) “ FOTO “is ons steeds baie trots op haar besondere prestasie.

Baie geluk, Enya!

The following regarding the payment of school fees for 2014 is an extract from the “Terms & Conditions” in the Governing Body letter of 17 October 2013, Paragraph Two: “Should you not pay the full amount owed or miss out on payments to the school for 2014, De Kuilen High School will have the right to refer this matter to a debt collector. In this case you would be held liable for the amount owed to the school for 2014 in full and - if legal proceedings were to be instituted against you - all costs, including tracing fees, collection commission at 18% plus VAT on the amount referred, as well as all legal costs on an attorney- and client scale plus interest at 15.5%, would have to be paid by you”.

7. Should the school fees for February and March 2014 be in arrears, you are hereby requested to pay it – within 10 (Ten) business days hereof.

8. Please note that in terms of Section 130 (1) of the National Credit Act no. 34 of 2005, an account may be handed over for collection if the amount due has been outstanding for more than 20 (Twenty) days.

9. In terms of Section 129 (1) of the said Act, you may refer an account/credit agreement to a debt counsellor or alternatively to a dispute resolution agent, consumer court or ombud with jurisdiction with the intent to resolve any dispute regarding the agreement/account or develop and agree on a plan to bring up to date the payments regarding the agreement/account.

10. We appreciate your co-operation and financial support.

Yours sincerely

Jacques Conradie

We had our first debate on 3 March against El Shaddai. The juniors won their debate on the issue of co-ed schools vs single sex schools. Congratulations to Matthew Cornelissen, Eddy Shivari and Sima Nyati.

The seniors debated the issue of government’s loans and bursaries for private tertiary institutions.

A group of juniors and seniors were taken to UCT for a workshop on8 March, by Mrs van der Nest. They were impressed.

On Monday, 24 March the next round will take place:

The topics: Juniors - “This House would legalise voluntary euthanasia” and Seniors - “This House would scrap the minimum wage”

Our next debates and topics are listed below:

Juniors: Round 3 - This House would assassinate dictatorsRound 4 - This House would go vegetarianRound 5 - This House would annually alter the race of Santa Claus

Seniors: Round 3 - This House regrets attending the Sochi Winter OlympicsRound 4 - UnpreparedRound 5 - Unprepared

We would like to thank Shanice Kim Mouton - a reputable debater herself and sister of Bethany Mouton - who helps with Rotary debating.

Ideas and help from all family members are appreciated. Make debating a family affair.
