BEST CULTURAL PERFORMANCE 2018 – Kanya Gojo
Kanya (12B) has maintained an outstanding cultural performance and commitment throughout the year. He has competed and excelled at district, provincial and national level before, this year was no different!
Kanya served as a Junior Executive Mayor, RCL chairman, an active member of the School Governing Body, a Blood Donor Representative for the South African National Blood Service and a Bookstore prefect.
He participated in the CANSA shaveathon and raised awareness for CANSA where he received an appreciation certificate for valuable volunteerism. The shaveathon was held at Goldfields Mall.
He is an Executive Member for ATOMS (a group of demi-tutors that offer help to learners getting low marks in Mathematics and Science). He competed in SAGE, an entrepreneurship competition for teenagers with running businesses, he was placed second in the school competition and also participated at SAGE provincials.
Kanya completed both Junior and Senior Phases in the Junior City Council: A nonprofit organization aimed at helping the youth and looking after the community. He ensured that the community is aware of the Junior City Council by involving parents in the JCC, organized an awareness interview for the JCC with the ROCK FM and collaborated the JCC with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund all in an effort to make Lejweleputswa better for all teenagers and children. Kanya just finished his term as an Executive Mayor of the Matjhabeng Junior City Council.
Kanya is a DUX learner, an RCL chairman and the Executive Mayor of the Junior City Council for the term of 2017/18. He is the first learner in THS history to hold all three of these positions.
He was also awarded a certificate from the ROTARY Youth Leadership, an organization known internationally for the development of leadership skills; for successfully reaching the outcomes of the principals of leadership.
Only three candidates were selected in the district. Kanya was the only learner selected from THS.
He serves as a representative of the "Save a child" organization. An organization that is also funded by the Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund. This organization gives young people the platform to address and question political leaders, in parliament with regards to childrens rights and how they are being violated. Kanya used this platform most effectively, as one of the political leaders said: "You are destined to take South Africa to greater heights." He was the only candidate to be selected in the entire region. The child Led Imbizo was held in Johannesburg.
Kanya was awarded the best chess player floating trophy in grades 10 and 11, for not only showing up at practice every day, or defending Board 1(Highest Chess position) excellently, but for never giving up in all his games and always striving till the end.
-In 2017, he qualified again to participate at the South African Junior Chess championships. Played Board 1(Highest Board at National Level) Meaning that he was ranked first in the Lejweleputswa region. Kanya’s team won first place for the team section and received a trophy for best overall team in the B-section of u/16 ranked fourth amongst other Board 1 players in the B-section with 4 wins, 2 losses and a draw.
-Chess Schools (Lejweleputswa region) league: always performed exceptionally well. In 2017 the school chess team made it to the provincials and he still played Board 1 and won all his games and the team obtained third place overall.
-Participated at the South African Junior Chess Championships held at Birchwoods Hotel again earlier this year. Won 6 out of 7 games. Received a Board prize for winning the most games for the sixth Board in the U/18 B section. He was only sixteen at the time and ranked 11th overall.

Die appel val nie ver van die boom nie ...
Dikwels hoor 'n mens ook dat dit in sy gene is, of dat dit in dik strome deur sy are loop ... En partykeer gebeur dit net, omdat nabootsing 'n goeie beginpunt vir enige kleintjie is.
As altwee jou ouers onderwysers is en dit is eksamentyd (soos dit tans die geval is), raak die aandagtyd so 'n bietjie minder, en is TV-kyk maar jou voorland. Die TV-opwinding van vroeër, bereik deesdae gouer 'n laagtepunt en lyk 'n rooi pen baie aantrekliker as die TV. En dit is ook presies wat met die jongeheer Herbst gebeur het. Hy het begin rondkyk vir 'n rooi pen, want dit is blykbaar die beginpunt van mag ... en dit moet hy ten alle koste hê. En terwyl hy sy ouers goed dophou, besef hy dat hy sy hande op 'n pak papiere moet lê. Dit is ook nie so moeilik, want daar lê 'n pak op die tafel. Al hierdie dinge en nog meer gaan deur 'n mens se kop en as 'n mens nog nie eens twee is nie, moet planne baie vinnig gemaak word en soos die geluk dit wil hê, is dit sommer 'n pak vraestelle wat klaar gemerk is ... dit vra net vir 'n handtekening en 'n verstelling of twee en die Kaap is Hollands.
Indien die leser baie deeglik na die foto kyk, is daar geen vorm van ontevredenheid te bespeur by die toekomstige pedagoog nie ... wonder in die stilligheid of dit is wat sy ouers vir sy toekoms beoog??

Onbekende staproete ...
Die voetslaanpad van die lewe
lei dikwels na hoë plekke wat ons uitasem laat,
steiltes wat onoorkombaar lyk
en hindernisse wat uit die weg geruim moet word.
Ander kere lei U ons na dieptes
waar die donker ons harte koud maak.
Maar langs die lewensroete
gee U ook wonderlike uitkykpunte
waar ons uitsig nuwe perspektiewe bring
en uiteindelik
bring U ons by waterstrome wat verkwik.
Waar ook al:
U stuur ons nóóit sonder versterkings,
beskerming en noodvoorraad nie.
Nee, God van goedheid,
U voorsien.
[Hierdie treffende gebed van Milanie Vosloo wat ons herinner dat God altyd die nodige op ons onbekende staproete voorsien, is Vrydag deur mev. Marguerite Pienaar tydens opening in die personeelkamer met die personeel gedeel - 'n Tekkie Tonic-dankie hiervoor.]

HTS se eie celeb ...
Hy toer van die Drakensberge tot in die Kaap op uitnodiging en Septembermaand was hy weer by Aardklop. Saam met sy "blaasspan" het hulle sommer vinnig lewe in die ATKV se verhoog geblaas!!
Nceba Mgojo is 'n Tekkie in murg en been. Hy was 'n leerder by HTS en tans is hy 'n onderwyser by sy Alma Mater. Nceba, mag jou musiektoekoms blink!!!

Stuk-stuk kry die skool 'n nuwe baadjie ...
Wel, hier gee die verwers nuwe lewe aan die pilare in die vierkant van die skool. Hierdie pilare vorm deel van die tradisie van Tekkie-wees. 'n Graad 8-leerder stap die eerste dag van skool onder deur die klok en as 'n matriekleerder se laaste dag aanbreek, dan stap hy onder deur die klok, by die hekke uit. Hy raak die klok op pad uit, terwyl die klok aanhou lui tot die laaste matriek tussen die twee pilare geloop het.
2019 se graad 8's gaan deur die pilare loop wat 'n splinternuwe baadjie aanhet.

Junior Stadsraad - onderburgemeester 2018/2019
Die MJS van 2017/2018 het 'n bedrywige jaar gehad. Hulle het net na die inhuldiging afgeskop met
'n ken-mekaar- en beplanningsessie, waarna 'n hele aantal suksesvolle projekte
gevolg het.
Vir die 2018/2019-termyn is Kgosana Moeketsi die junior
onderburgemeester.
Die skool se nuwe junior verteenwoordiger op die junior stadsraad
is Alex Manese. Baie sterkte aan elkeen vir 'n baie bedrywige termyn wat voorlê
en dankie vir elkeen wat bygedra het tot die suksesse van 2017/2018.
