LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ...

In die wiskundeklas:
Juffrou: "Michael, 'n lemoen word gehalveer. Daarna word elke deel weer gehalveer. Wat noem ons die dele?"
Michael: "Skyfies, Juffrou."

ooOOoo

Willie-hulle behandel breuke in die wiskundeklas.
Juffrou: "Willie, jou pa verdien R20 000 per maand. Elke maand gee hy vir jou ma net R100. Wat kry sy dan?"
Willie: "'n Beroerte, Juffrou."

ooOOoo

Die LO-juffrou vra vir Peter: "Wat gaan jy doen as jy eendag uit die skool is?"
Peter: "Gelukkig wees, Juffrou."

LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ...

'n Onderwyser wil die babbelende klompie na die Desembervakansie bietjie tot bedaring bring en vrae algemene vrae sodat die klasmaats na mekaar se antwoorde wil luister.
Onderwyser: "En wat het jy gedurende die somervakansie geleer?"
Dina: "Ek het geleer dat ses weke nie genoeg tyd is om my kamer skoon te maak nie."

ooOOoo

Geografie-onderwyser: Watter deel van die wêreld het die mees oningeligte mense?"
Hannetjie: "Hongkong."
Onderwyser: "Hoekom sê jy so?"
Hannetjie: "Dis waar die atlas sê die bevolking is die digste."

ooOOoo

Geskiedenisonderwyser: Wanneer is Rome gebou?"
Kato: "In die nag."
Onderwyser: "Hoekom sê jy so?"
Kato: "Want my pa sê altyd Rome is nie in 'n dag gebou nie."

LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ...

"Soos ons geleer het," sê die geskiedenisonderwyser, "het die voormalige heerser van Rusland as die tsaar bekend gestaan en sy vrou was die tsarina. Nou wie van julle kan vir my sê wat die tsaar se kinders genoem is?"
Slim Sarel: "Tsaardientjies."

ooOOoo
Eric is 'n gebore stedeling. Tydens die Desembervakansie het hy vir die eerste keer vuurvliegies gesien. Hy het nie geweet wat dit is nie. Hy het gedink dis muskiete wat hom met flitsligte jaag!

ooOOoo

'n Opgewonde groep skoolkinders gaan vir die dag Robbeneiland toe saam met hulle geskiedenisonderwyser. Die groep is 'n energieke entoesiastiese klomp wat moeilik stilbly en stilsit. Die onderwyser het hulle die moets en moenies gegee van hulle gedrag op die veerboot. Hy besluit om hulle luistervaardighede te toets.
Onderwyser: Wat sê ons as een van die kinders in die see val?"
Sam steek dadelik sy hand op: "Kind oorboord, Meneer."
Onderwyser: "Dis reg! En wat sê ons as een van die onderwysers oorboord val?"
Sam: "Dit hang af van watter onderwyser dit is, Meneer!"

What is the 16 days activism?


WHAT IS THE 16 DAYS ACTIVISM?
* It is a WORLDWIDE Campaign to OPPOSE VIOLENCE against WOMEN and CHILDREN
* It aims to raise awareness of the NEGATIVE impact that VIOLENCE and ABUSE have on WOMEN and CHILDREN and to RID society of ABUSE PERMANENTLY

WHEN DOES THE CAMPAIGN TAKE PLACE?
The 16 Days of Activism Campaign is held from 25 November to 10 December every year
However, the success of this campaign rests on our daily individual and collective actions to safeguard our society against this cycle of abuse

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN?
* It stems from the low status of women in the home and in society
* It happens when men abuse POWER and positions of authority in order to CONTROL women and children

WHAT IS ABUSE?
Any form of behaviour that causes:
* fear
* bodily harm
* a person to do things against their will

DON'T BE A VICTIM!
* BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE
* BREAK THE SILENCE
* KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
* ACT AGAINST ABUSE
* DO NOT LOOK AWAY!

KEY DATES TO OBSERVE IN THIS PERIOD:
25 November: International Day of No Violence Against Women
29 November: International Women Human Rights Defenders Day
1 December: World Aids Day
3 December: International Day for the Disabled
10 December: International Human Rights Day

Below is a list of things that teachers love about the June school holidays:


* We get to drink as much water as we want. Why? Because our bathroom usage is not limited to 1 minute between classes.

* We get to binge-watch Netflix or Hallmark movies.

* We get to enjoy not listening to learners say our names loudly a million times every day.

* We get to binge-read non-school related things.

* We can go shopping in the middle of the day.

* Sleeping in is a must. The alarm is turned off!

* We get to meet up with other teachers and talk about non-school things.

* Coffee. Drinking hot coffee is a luxury. Who am I kidding - drinking coffee is a luxury - how many times have you forgotten it somewhere, forgotten to drink it, or split it on yourself?

* It gives us a chance to recharge and get ready for the end-of-the-year madness that is sure to arrive.

Jaarlikse boekverdrinking

'n Mens lees in die media van verskeie gevalle waar mense amper in die see, rivier of plaasdam verdrink het, maar aan die einde van elke skooljaar is daar ook mense wat amper verdrink - die onmisbare administratiewe personeel wat die boekstore van skole beman - boekverdrinking is in hierdie geval 'n gepaste neologisme.

Afhangende watter vakke die betrokke dag geskryf word en die hoeveelheid boeke wat in 'n kort tydjie, net voordat die eksamen begin, ingehandig moet word, lei dit tot berge en berge boeke in die beperkte ruimte van die stoor. Soms steek net die neuse van die boekstoorbemanning uit! Sterkte vir 2024 se roei en stoei met die see van boeke, trek julle reddingsbaadjies aan en maak gereed om die boeke in die hawe van 2025 uit te deel.

Onderwyseres: "Jy het by Fred afgekyk in vandag se eksamen ... nie waar nie?"
Klein Kosie: "Hoe weet Juffrou dit?
Onderwyseres: "Fred se antwoord by vraag 4.3 sê: Ek weet nie en in joune staan: Ek ook nie!"

ooOOoo

Wiskunde-onderwyser: "As daar 7 vlieë op die lessenaar is en ek slaan een met die liniaal dood, hoeveel is oor?"
Stian: "Net die een wat pap geslaan is."

ooOOoo

As onderwysers so slim is, hoekom is hulle nog op skool?

International Day of Tolerance

Monday, 16 November 2020 is the date of International Day for Tolerance. Tolerance Day is a United Nations’ observance and is celebrated on 16 November every year since 1996. It is not a public holiday.

Tolerance is respect for other’s rights and freedom. Tolerance is not only a moral duty but also a requirement of the present era. States should legislate for equality and basic human rights for the promotion of tolerance and non-violence. Education is an important tool to pave the path for these desired results.

We should also play our role through print and social media for the respect and adoption of tolerance. Tolerance is an amazing tool that can help people of diverse religions and cultures to live together harmoniously and peacefully.

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."

'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?"

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)
