No chicken's apology
I hate that thick silence after Pa storms out to the chickens. He Pa just keeps quiet and carries on looking ahead of him. The looks calm when he is there, though, even when the hens keep leathery skin around his eyes bunches up to keep the sun out. running away from his knobbly knees. He just softly shuffles through the dust until he can grab one of the fat ones. It is “Verwey told me we've got thirty days to get off his land,” says usually Betsie. She is the fattest, and the slowest. Ordinarily Pa softly. she flaps like crazy for a second or two, until her survival instinct calms down and she realises that Pa just wants to talk. I have “I'm Sorry, Pa.” always wondered what they talk about. “We've been here for three generations, my boy. Where do However, today he does not have the energy to chase Betsie. you think we're going to go? We're going to have to move He just goes to sit down on that rickety bench by the fence out of the area! Tannie Teresa wouldn't even lend Ma some for a smoke. He probably spent the last bit of his energy sugar because she says, 'We don't tolerate moffies here in Langverwagt.” smashing Ouma's vase in the kitchen before he stormed out. I can still hear Ma sobbing and sniffing and whining by the I can feel how my tears are coming. I clench my jaw and bite sink. I can feel that this one is different from the other fights. my tongue. When I am involved it is always worse. Oupa always used to say Oom Schalk Verwey is a 'hothead'. I mean, I know he is “I hate myself, Pa, I really do... I just misunderstood. We became angry, but it was not necessary for him to pitch up here at six very close friends and he said he liked me and we were alone in the morning on a Sunday, threatening to blow my head off and I just misunderstood, Pa. I didn't even know he was Oom my shoulders with an air rifle. Schalk's grandson. I'm sorry, Pa. I was just being stupid.”
In these situations, Ma always says, “When your Pa is calm, I can feel him softening as I talk. His face is still stone-cold he's a reasonable man, but when he's angry, he becomes like though. a mule.” “I don't want to be like this, Pa. I want to change.” After some time had passed and the dust had settled a bit, I slowly trudged to where Pa is sitting, as the South-Easter softly We sit in silence for a second or two and then Pa stands up fidgets with my fringe. As I sit down next to him, the bench and ruffles my hair and says with his smoker's croak, “Love is squeaks and leans slightly to my side. an ugly thing my boy. Don't blame yourself for it.”
“I'm sorry, Pa. The Lord made me this way.” by Ben Albertyn
Ben Albertyn matriculated in 2014. He wrote 'No chickens Apology” as his class essay. This essay was forwarded to 'English Alive”, a publication for school students and edited by Robin Malan, in 2014 for selection in the 2014 publication of 'English Alive'. His essay was selected and he was asked to read his essay at the launch of this publication. Robn Malan has just brought out a selection of pieces from the last 50 years of 'English Alive' and Ben Albertyn's piece was included in this publication. We are very proud of Ben's writing achievements as he was the only student from Parel Vallei High School to be included.

Drama
DUBIOSUS “There is a pleasure sure in being mad which none but madmen know” - John Dryden.
DUBIOSUS is a story that explores the space inhabited by patients with unusual personalities, eccentric ideas, epic escape plans and the will to escape. Their restrictions? Some walls, some doubts, some walls created by doubt and a nurse in high heels.
This year's English play, DUBIOSUS is a play about trying to escape one's comfort zone, with doubt as the jailer. It was written and directed by Yanou Pienaar and had a cast of eleven talented humans. DUBIOSUS participated at various drama festivals this year, including the annual Logan Drama Festival in Fraserburg. As the lead actor, Jordyn Linklater took top honours at Fraserburg by winning the award for Best Actor, while Jessica Hattingh won the prize for Best Supporting Actress. At the annual Durbanville High School Drama Festival, DUBIOSUS surprised everyone by winning the award for the Best Technical Design and Operation, and was included in the very special Dawie Maritz Memorial Trophy for Diverse Performances on Stage.

MAN MAN is a play about men, written by women, performed by boys and directed by the same women.
This year Drama teachers Annelie van Zyl and Yanou Pienaar put ten boys and some scaffolding on a stage and made them act like men (the boys, not the scaffolding). In this bilingual episodic comedy (with some serious bits), each scene explores what it means to be a real man, and the challenges that men face.
Along with the other productions, MAN performed at various theatre festivals for teenagers, including the annual Logan Drama Festival. There, Jordyn Linklater won the prize for the Best Actor for his roles in MAN and Dubiosus and he won the same award at the Durbanville High School Drama Festival for his wildly entertaining and energetic performance in MAN. MAN received a number of bronze, gold and silver awards at each festival, including gold certificates for the script, directing, technical enhancements and the production as a whole, and was also included in the very special Dawie Maritz Memorial Trophy for Diverse Performances on Stage. Parel Vallei's four plays were awarded this trophy for having four productions of a very high standard at the festival.

Ons leerders kry elke jaar die geleentheid om aan die Stellenbosch en Helderberg kunswedstryde deel te neem.
Hulle word deur die skool ingeskryf, maar die voorbereiding is in hul eie hande. Natuurlik help die betrokke onderwysers as die leerders hulp nodig het. Dit is dus 'n buitemuurse aktiwiteit waar hulle hul passie kan uitleef en hul talent kan tentoonstel.
Leerders kan vir hierdie prestasies erekleure volgens die vereistes ontvang. Ons is baie trots op ons leerders wat, ten spyte van 'n vol program, aan die kunswedstryde deelneem.

First Aid / Noodhulp First Aid at Parel Vallei is growing tremendously. More and more learners are enrolling for First Aid courses. We had sixty nine qualified First Aiders in Parel Vallei this year.
'n Noodhulpkursus behels ten minste vier dae intensiewe opleiding gevolg deur 'n teoretiese en 'n praktiese eksamen. 'n Vlak 1 kursus kan in graad 8 of 9 gedoen word en om vlak 3 te doen moet die leerder ten minste in graad 11 of 12 wees.
Noodhelpers lewer 'n diens aan die skool tydens sportbyeenkomste waar hulle bystand lewer by enige beserings of noodgevalle. Hier leer en oefen hulle die nodige vaardighede vir basiese noodhulp, maar kry hulle ook baie lewenservaring om noodsituasies te kan hanteer. Die senior noodhelpers tree op as mentors vir die juniors.
So het Parel Vallei se noodhulpspan in 2016 altesaam 667 ure diens gedoen!!
Baie dankie aan elke noodhelper vir kundige en vriendelike diens op ons sportvelde.

THE PRESIDENT'S AWARD
Parel Vallei is honoured to be part of The President's Award for 'Youth Empowerment' which is a full member of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. It operates in over 140 countries around the world and is therefore recognised internationally. The aim is to empower young people between the ages of 14 and 25, by providing a balanced, non-competitive framework for self- development.
The President's Award was only introduced at Parel Vallei during 2013, and the number of participants receiving their bronze, silver or gold awards is increasing each year. A total of 16 learners have received awards thus far.
To achieve a bronze level, a participant must complete 3 months in the areas of physical recreation, skills and service. One of these areas must extend over 6 months. They must also undertake an adventurous journey over 2 days and 1 night.
To achieve a Silver level, a participant must complete 6 months in all 3 areas and the adventurous journey must extend over 3 days and 2 nights. The Gold level includes 12 months in the above mentioned areas and a 4 day, 3 night adventurous journey. Participants also need to complete a residential project - a shared purposeful experience with people who are not their usual companions, working towards a common goal.

Biblioteekverslag Die biblioteek het in 2016 'n baie besige jaar gehad. Daar is 'n styging in die hoeveelheid boeke wat uitgeneem is, asook meer navrae. Alhoewel boeke duurder is as gevolg van die swak wisselkoers, kon ons nog steeds die nuutste publikasies aankoop. Break times have been very busy, as learners use the library to read, have meetings, do homework, make photostats and do printing. The library is open after school and learners use the space to catch up on homework and do research on the 5 computers, while waiting for their lifts or for sport to begin. We have ten prefects, 2 appointed from each grade. Without them, the library could not function properly. Their duties include: manning the service station, handling the printer and photostat machine, packing away books and cleaning in general. The library is not a boring, quiet place, but alive and active, a fun place to be. Thanks to our library prefects, we provide an excellent and much needed service to Parel Vallei

NETBALVERSLAG Parel Vallei se netbal was hierdie seisoen weer lekker aan die gang. Ons het in Oktober begin met 'n junior en senior buiteseisoenoefengroep wat die spelers al vroeg voorberei het vir die jaar wat kom. 'n Extreme netbalkliniek en 'n spanboudag is weer oudergewoonte by die skool gehou om al ons spelers reg te kry vir die seisoen. Die eerstespan se toer na Potchefstroom was baie suksesvol en resultate kon gesien word in 'n geskiedkundige oorwinning oor DF Malan. Daar is vanjaar 28 spanne ingeskryf wat 196 meisies 'n kans gegee het om netbal te speel. Oor al die spanne was daar meer wedstrydblootstelling en almal se wenpersentasie het verbeter, wat goeie vordering in Parel Vallei se Netbal 0/18 A netbal wys.
