HTS Welkom becomes a combined unisex school

On Wednesday 14 January police members together with CPF Sector 3 visited the Technical High School in Welkom to engage with learners on important safety awareness topics.

The visit was made even more significant as history was marked on the day: the traditionally all-boys school officially welcomed female learners, becoming a combined unisex school.

It was a meaningful and positive engagement, promoting safety, inclusivity, and community partnership between police, CPF, and the school.

How should learners behave at school?

* Respect: Always address teachers politely and follow classroom rules.

* Engagement: Participate actively in class discussions and activities.

* Communication: If you have concerns or questions, approach teachers respectfully.

* Responsibility: Complete assignments on time and be prepared for class.

What are the qualities of a good learner?

* Strong work ethic
* Time management skills
* Active participation
* Effective study habits
* Self-motivation
* Responsibility and accountability
* Adaptability and flexibility
* Teamwork and collaboration

Remember:
Mastering only the academy accolades and merits doesn’t constitute the qualities of a good learner. By embracing the above qualities diligently, learners can build a robust foundation for their future endeavors.

What is an ideal learner?

Ultimately, the ideal learner is someone who is motivated, engaged, and interested in learning, and who is able to apply their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways.

An ideal learner motivates other learners and maintains a positive atmosphere around them. Everybody appreciate an ideal learner not because of the scores but for his or her behaviour and attitude towards elders.

Tekkies:

* Look sharp!

* Act right!

* Be proud!

Flashback Friday: School Rules for Students 1872

In order to establish a routine and manage the classroom, it was necessary for students to follow the rules established by the teacher. Here are some rules that the students would have to follow:

1. Respect the schoolmaster. Obey him and accept his punishments.
2. Do not call your classmates names or fight with them. Love and help each other.
3. Never make noises or disturb your neighbours as they work.
4. Be silent during classes. Do not talk unless it is absolutely necessary.

5. Do not leave your seat without permission.
6. No more than one student at a time may go to the washroom.

7.  At the end of class, you must wash your hands and face. Wash your feet if they are bare.

8. Bring firewood into the classroom for the stove whenever the teacher tells you to dot this chore.
9. Go quietly in and out of the classroom.
10. If the master calls your name after class, straighten the benches and tables. Sweep the room, dust and leave everything tidy.
