Think about it ... Your victory is right around the corner - don't ever give up.

Karin drove with her dad. 
They came upon a storm, and the Karin asked her father: What should I do?"
He says "Keep on driving."
Cars started pulling to the side, the storm has gotten worse.
"What must I do?" Karin asked. 
"Keep driving," her dad replied.
The storm is awful and everyone is taking off!
Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"
Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little clearer."
After a few miles she was back on dry ground, and the sun came out.
Her father said, "Now you can pull down and get out."
She said, "But why now?"
"He said, "When you come out, look back at all the people who gave up and are still in the storm, because you never gave up, your storm is now over."

This is a testimony for anyone going through “difficult times.”
Simply because everyone else, even the strongest, give up, you don't have to ... 
If you keep going, your storm will soon be over and the sun will shine on your face again.

Farewell to a Cherished Member of Our School


Yesterday, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Mrs Tanya Viljoen, who is retiring after an incredible 10 years of dedicated service at our school.
 
Her connection to our school runs deep - spanning almost 66 years! From being a staff member, and with her father and mother also having taught and worked here, her own son that matriculated here, she embodies the spirit of our school.

We are grateful for the countless ways she has touched the lives of learners and colleagues alike. Her legacy will live on in our hearts and hallways.
 
Thank you, Tanya, for your unwavering commitment and love for our school. We wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life!

Think about it ...


What was Benjamin Franklin's advice on life?
“Look before, or you'll find yourself behind.”
“Don't throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.”
“He that would live in peace & at ease, must not speak all he knows or judge all he sees.”

Klein Kosie ondervind probleme met wiskunde. Sy ma besluit om ekstra aandag in die middae aan sy wiskundehuiswerk te gee. Sy probeer die abstrakte wiskundeprobleme meer prakties maak.
Ma:  " As jy in die linkersak van jou broek kyk en jy haal 40c uit en jy vat die 35c uit jou regtersak, wat dink jy sal jy hê?"
Klein Kosie: "Iemand anders se broek, want ek is platsak." 

ooOOoo
'n Nuwe polisiekadet is besig om sy eindeksamen af te lê en die laaste vraag is: "As jy gesê word dat jy jou eie ma moet arresteer, wat is die eerste ding wat jy sal doen?"
Die kadet dink so 'n oomblik na en skryf: "Vra vir bystand."

ooOOoo
Onderwyseres: "'n Abstrakte selfstandige naamwoord is iets waaraan jy kan dink, maar jy kan nie daaraan raak nie. Kan iemand vir my 'n voorbeeld gee?"
Een van die seuns: "My pa se nuwe kar."

Flashback Friday: Tekkies se aangenome oupas - 2006/2007


HTS het vir meer as 20 jaar 'n oupa of oupas gehad wat hulle by Huis Oranje aangeneem het. Dit was deel van die skool se gemeenskapsdiens en uitreikaksie. Dit het gereelde besoeke/kuiertjies behels en elke maand so 'n klein verrassingspakkie wat eetgoed en toiletware ingesluit het. Vir Kersfees en hulle verjaardag het hulle sommer 'n lekker groot pakkie gekry.
Die oupas was:
Louis du Pisanie - 14 Mei (hy was meer as 20 jaar 'n oupa) 
Martin Fourie - 15 Februarie
Hansie Kruger - 22 April (hy was die nuutste en laaste oupa wat HTS aangeneem het) 
Matrone Matthysen -  16 Mei (die matrone wat die kinders só welkom laat voel het en goud werd was)

Think about it ...


This my STRONG belief.
I must live a life in service of others.
Contribute to them in anyway you can.
You start with your own family, friends and classmates.

Baie geluk, Lefa!

Op 11 Oktober 2024 het Lefa Lipali die trofee ontvang as die beste eerstejaarstudent by CUT (Central University of Technology), saam met 'n hele handvol sertifikate. Hierdie mylpaal kon hy slegs bereik met harde werk. HTS is trots op hierdie prestasie wat nie sonder sweet gebeur het nie. 

Baie geluk, Lefa, hierdie is die eerste tree op jou akademiese pad - ons volg jou loopbaan en wil graag 2025 se prysuitdelingfoto ook hier plaas.

Op die foto bo verskyn Lefa en medestudent, Nyakallo Pali, met hulle meriete sertifikate. Viva studies!

You Live With A Teacher When ...


* During the school year, they have two moods: completely exhausted or super stressed.

* During assessment and reporting cycles, you find a lot of reasons to leave the house.

* They continuously refer to their class as “my kids,” but you don’t remember having thirty kids.

* Every time they leave the house in the morning, they take more bags with them than on a moving day.

* When their friends come over, they speak in a secret language using words like Behaviour Plan, IEP, Duty, Supervision, Success Criteria, and Anchor Charts.

* They complain about being unable to go to the washroom during the day - even though they really had to.

* They have not eaten lunch in years.

* Part of your monthly house budget goes to school supplies such as stickers, pens, paper, glue, and art supplies.

* They leave the house looking clean and proper and return covered in dust, chalk, whiteboard marker, pen ink or paint.

If the person you live with matches most of these descriptions, congratulations, you live with a teacher!

Think about it ...


Try not to be so hard on yourself.Take a moment.
Marvel at your life:
at the grief that softened you,
at the heartache that wisened you,
at the suffering that strengthened you.
Despite everything,
you still grew.
Be proud of this.

Vir ons onderwysers ...

Die jaar lê in die pylvak van 2024. Die laaste matriekhekkie lê voor en daarna die lang wag. Vir die onderwysers wat só hard gewerk het die afgelope jaar hierdie spesiale gedagte:

Hulle wat ons kinders leer
en hul gedagtes met feite
en idees fatsoeneer
wat deel in hulle prestasies.

Hulle wat raad gee en
'n liefde vir kennis inspireer,
waar hul waarheid die pad verlig
waar die jonges nog moet leer.

Want die toekoms skitter blink met elke les
en elke glimlag wat hulle verleng.
Nooit doen hulle minder as hulle bes
met elke doel wat hulle help bereik.

Want die opkoms van menige digter,
koning of filosoof
het begin met 'n onderwyser
en die wysheid wat hulle bring

May your day be filled with happiness, dear teacher


WHO IS YOUR TRUE FRIEND?

The lawyer hopes you get into trouble,
the doctor hopes you fall sick,
the police hopes you become a criminal,
the coffin maker wants you dead,
only the TEACHER wishes to educate you
and liberate you from the bondage of ignorance.
Please hug the next teacher by your side,
he/she is one of your true friends.
