I was exposed to CrossFit for the first time when my company Adidas in an endeavour to promote a culture of fitness and healthy living introduced employees to CrossFit classes. I immediately liked the CrossFit exercise regime. Subsequently Adidas started a competition where the employee who attended most of the CrossFit classes would win a membership to CrossFit classes. Since I really enjoyed the CrossFit classes I attended most of classes and hence won the competition. This was the start of my weekly exercise routine. Now I cannot envisage my life without CrossFit.

  • The Liesbeek River Valley
    \ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN FACULTY OF EDUCATION THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF THE LIESBEEK RIVER VALLEY An investigation of the use of an Environmental History approach in ·historical research and in classroom practice A dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Ed in History Education \ -...... by JEAN ·BOTIARO MARCH 1996 ' f . , ,:.,- I'.! ' . t. c .-: . The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

  • Newsletter-9-17.Pdf
    30 March2017 Dear Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER 9/17 We have reached the end of a highly successful term. So much has been achieved and we have big dreams and plans for the remainder of the year. Allow me this opportunity to thank every dedicated educator, coach and learner for their hard work and commitment. It is wonderful to see the scale of participation and the level at which we are competing now. Sport and culture have gone from strength to strength. Add to that the excellent academic results we attained last year, and you have to agree that our school is blessed with exceptional learners, educators and parents. During a recent visit by the Curro Transformation and Diversity team, we were complimented on the friendliness of our learners and staff. They noticed how learners went out of their way to greet them and to assist where they could. We also often get compliments from visitors, who work with our learners, regarding their ability to think out of the box and come up with new ideas and solutions. Schools close on Friday, 31 March at 11:00. Reports will be issued to learners on this day. Term 2 starts on Wednesday, 19 April. Educators already start on Tuesday, 18 April. Enjoy a well-deserved break with your children. May God keep you safe and may you experience a blessed Easter. STAFF MATTERS We wish to congratulate Mr Christiaan Botha who attended the North-West University of Potchefstroom’s graduation ceremony to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Education (BEd). Congratulations to Mrs Mariëtte Viljoen whose daughter, Obie, had a baby girl earlier this week.

  • Tieroog | Kwartaal 3/ Term 3 | September 2019 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    ////////////////////////// TIEROOG | KWARTAAL 3/ TERM 3 | SEPTEMBER 2019 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///// Tik Tok Tik Tok So loop die tyd aan en aan. Alewig ‘n geskarrel...en meestal na onbenullighede. Wat is dit dan wat saak maak? Waarin moet tyd belê word? Wat is belangrik? Hoekom is dit belangrik? Waarheen is ons op pad? Die antwoord op al hierdie vrae is om tyd in verhoudings te belê. Ons vergeet soms maklik van ons verhoudings by die huis en skeep die mense naaste aan ons af. Beide my ouers is oorlede en ek wens soms dat ek nog net een keer met hulle kon praat. Dit is met groot opgewondenheid dat ek u meedeel dat my dogter ‘n tweeling (dogtertjies) in Januarie verwag. Sjoe, dan besef ‘n mens die waarde van ‘n sinvolle, liefdevolle verhoud- ing. Daarom is die onderwerp oor verhoudings so belangrik vir my. At the end of a term I usually reflect with one question in mind: What could I have done better? Since 80% of my work en- tails conflict management, my mind automatically thinks of various meetings and situations. The foundation for every meeting is the acknowledgement of the relationship that exists. Once that is cemented in the discussion with a huge amount of mutual respect, a sustainable solution will follow. It is general knowledge that if one of the parties in a conflict situation is vindictive and has a vendetta with ulterior motives, the relationship will crumble. As in the previous Tieroog, I want to emphasize the fact that I am willing to address difficult issues and will respect all the roll players in the education environment.
