2 Sodra die eindeksamen vir gr begin, word alle WKOD-handboeke ingelewer. Ons versoek ouers dringend om toe te sien dat: die betrokke boeke ingelewer word en u kind se naam duidelik in alle WKOD-boeke aangebring is. BAIE BELANGRIK: DIE SKOOL WERK OP DIESELFDE STELSEL AS DIE MUNISIPALE BIBLIOTEKE. INDIEN AL U KIND SE BOEKE NIE INGELEWER WORD NIE, BLOKKEER DIE STELSEL DIE UITREIK VAN ALLE BOEKE VIR U KIND VIR U betaal R per verlore boek; daarna sal die boekdata eers van die stelsel verwyder word. Boeke word op die betrokke dag waarop die finale eksamen vir daardie vak afgelê word, in klasverband ingelewer. Gr. 12-leerders bring die betrokke boek(e) na die boekstoor op die dag wat hul die finale vraestel van die betrokke vak skryf. U kind sal vooraf n mondelinge en skriftelike kennisgewing kry rakende watter boek(e) op n betrokke dag ingelewer moet word. Die skriftelike kennisgewing sal, sodra die rooster vir die eindeksamen beskikbaar is, aan u kind gegee word. Kontroleer asseblief daagliks of u kind die boek(e) wat ingelewer moet word, ingepak het. Indien n boek nie ingelewer is nie, sal u per SMS daarvan in kennis gestel word. Indien u so n SMS ontvang, stuur óf die boek óf die R (indien u kind die boek verloor het) skool toe. GEEN 2018-BOEKE KAN UITGEREIK WORD INDIEN ALLE 2017-BOEKE NIE INGELEWER IS NIE! DIT GELD OOK VIR BIBLIOTEEKBOEKE WAT IN DIE LOOP VAN DIE KWARTAAL UITGEREIK IS. Goodman Sotshononda was vir 22 jaar n terreinwerker by Stellenberg. Die terreinpersoneel het van hom afskeid geneem en n mikrogolfoond as afskeidsgeskenk aan hom oorhandig. Dankie, Goodman, vir jou harde werk en jou bydrae om ons skoolterrein so mooi te maak.

7 South African Maths Team Competition Five of our learners were invited to be part of Boland teams and took part in the SAMTC on September at the University of Cape Town. They were chosen due to their excellent performances in both the UCT Mathematics Competition and the South African Maths Olympiad earlier this year. Charl Booysen and Nicholas Sander were part of Boland senior teams and Emil Scnabel, Celeste Calitz and Wiida Sander were in junior teams. All the Boland teams did exeptionally well in the interprovincial competition. Congratulations to these brilliant Maths students! We are so proud of you! Celeste Calitz, Wiida Sander, Charl Booysen, Nicholas Sander and Emil Scnabel

8 Die hoogtepunt op die musiekdepartement se kalender was op 9 September die skoolhoof se uitnodigingskonsert. Die konsert was saamgestel uit die beste optredes en musiekprestasies soos behaal deur die Stellies musiekleerders. Die gehoor kon luister na ons sangers, instrumentaliste en ensembles. Na afloop van die konsert was almal dit eens daar is geen tekort aan musiektalent by Hoërskool Stellenberg nie!

9 Die Johann Vos musiekkompetisie word elke jaar deur die Hoërskool Belville aangebied. Die musiekkompetisie bied aan hoërskoolleerlinge die geleentheid om aan n openbare kompetisie deel te neem, met die finale rondte wat deur bekende klassieke musici en kenners beoordeel word. Twee Stellies, Laura Bailie (gr. 10) en Nicolene Smuts (gr. 9), het vir die finaal, wat in die Hugo Lambrechts ouditorium plaasgevind het, gekwalifiseer. Laura het in die senior klavierafdeling meegeding en Nicolene in die junior blaasafdeling. Ons is baie trots op Nicolene wat na afloop van die finale rondte as wenner van haar afdeling aangewys is. Baie geluk aan ons twee musieksterre en aan juf. Maré, Laura se klavierjuffrou.

10 The fun-filled hockey awards evening was attended by over 400 players, parents and coaches on 29 August. Each team had their own theme for the evening. The bestdecorated table went to the girls U-16B team and the best-dressed team went to the boys premier team. The top award for the girls Player of the Year deservedly went to Lizé Steyn and the boys Player of the Year rightly went to Allan Williams.

12 Hoërskool Stellenberg spog met 18 spanne wat dié jaar in die WP-finaal gespeel het. Ons het altesaam 5 goue, 6 silwer- en 4 bronsposisies verower! Die o.14b-, o.14c-, o.17a-, o.17c en ons o.19b-span was onoorwonne in die liga.

13 O.15 Kay Motsepe Toernooi (Topskole) Baie geluk aan ons o.15-span wat 16 September aan die Kay Motsepe toernooi deelgeneem het en 2de geëindig het. They qualified to compete at the National Cup in Vanderbijlpark in October. This is the Top Schools tournament for the U-15 teams. Good luck with your preparation, we are very proud of you. Die twee Wes-Kaapspanne wat daar gaan deelneem, is Girls High en Stellenberg.

14 Xander van Zyl, gr.12, het vanjaar weer die Westelike Provinsie se A-span by die nasionale bofbal toernooi in Johannesburg verteenwoordig. Hy is gekies as gooier (pitcher). Hulle span het die silwer medalje gewen nadat hulle in die finaal teen Gauteng verloor het. Xander was ook ná die toernooi in die nasionale oefengroep ingesluit om later vanjaar in die wêreldtoernooi in Kanada te gaan deelneem, maar het nie die finale span gehaal nie. Dit is steeds n merkwaardige prestasie!

15 James Wolfaardt en Shuné van Zyl (beide gr. 10) het gekwalifiseer vir Protea-kleure in Hip-Hop. Hulle is deel van SASCOC; dus is hulle Protea-kleure gelykstaande aan die Protea-kleure wat krieket- en rugbyspelers kry. Ons is baie trots op James en sy crew. Hulle het uitstekend gevaar by die SA-kampioenskappe, wat plaasgevind het vanaf 29 Junie tot 2 Julie by die Bellville Velodrome, deur die goue medalje in die Mega Crew-afdeling te wen. Danica Steyn en Basia Erasmus (beide in gr. 9) het die silwer medalje by dieselfde byeenkoms gewen. Hulle het gekwalifiseer om vanaf Oktober aan die Wêreld Hip-Hop Kampioenskappe in Leiden, Nederland deel te neem. Ons wens hul sterkte toe! James Wolfaardt Shuné van Zyl Danica Steyn Basia Erasmus Chloe da Aparecida, Gr. 8, competed at the Cape Town District Trials.

18 Op Dinsdag, 5 September was die matrieks aangenaam verras toe hulle in hul eksamenlokaal ingestap het. Op elke leerder se tafel was hul matriekafskeiduitnodiging. Dit was groot pret om die leerders se reaksies te sien. Meisies het opgewonde geskree en dadelik met mekaar daaroor begin gesels terwyl die meeste seuns met n verbaasde uitdrukking op hul gesigte gekyk het na die snow globe asof hul nie kan verstaan hoekom die papier aan die binnekant nie nat word nie. Ons hoop elke matriekleerder vind n uitstalplekkie vir sy/haar uitnodiging om herinner te word aan hierdie spesiale geleentheid. Hulle kan selfs n foto van die aand binne die snow globe sit.

20 The newly elected student council went off to Villiersdorp for their yearly camp. They returned, unified, tired and excited about the year that lies ahead. This year we went to the beautiful SOS campsite. Throughout the weekend, various sessions were held to reflect on 2016/7, plan for the new term and to develop leadership skills. The important roles that they will now be playing in the school were explained and discussed in detail. It was also very important that all the members get to know each other throughout the weekend, build relationships and develop a unified team. On Monday, 18 September, the student council members had a head leader circus to vote for the chairperson of the RCL as well as the additional head leader out of the Gr. 11 SC members. On Friday evening, the RCL (Representative Council of Learners) were announced. They are: Grade 8 Martin Hattingh, Alicia Malan, Mikyle Thysse Grade 9 Lynn-Mari Brooks, Francois Joubert, Kirsten Wolfaardt Grade 10 André Bartes, Jason de Wet, Nicola Hanekom Click here to see the photos on Facebook. Grade 11 Heinrich Anderson, Christiaan de Beer, Irving de Swardt, Marenique van Wyk Highlights of the camp included the session hosted by TVG (The Ventures Group) which incorporates physical group activities to develop leadership abilities of the team. TVG believes that leadership cannot be taught, BUT that it can be learned and developed. This only happens if individuals continually get the correct exposure to experiences in their developmental programme from which to make their own decisions. On Saturday evening, the learners were responsible for supper in the form of a potjiekos competition. Teams were judged according to taste, originality of theme and presentation of the food and theme. It was great fun and there were very original themes for the competition including circus, 007, Miami beach and hippies. After the teams cleaned up, everyone gathered in front of the fireplace in the house where the guardians stayed and reflected on the day. On a personal note, we are extremely excited to be working with such an enthusiastic group of leaders and about the path that we will share during the next year. Hanna-Mari Smuts & Gerda Ochse (SC guardians)

22 Op die koue, nat wintersaand van 2 Augustus het n rooi tapyt die gaste van die juniorbal ingewag. Uitgevat in pragtige aandrokke en pakke het die gaste aangekom nadat hulle vooraf fotosessies in mooi tuine en lokale gehad het. Meer as 280 stylvolle gaste het met groot opwinding by die aktiwiteitsentrum opgedaag en uitgesien na n onvergeetlike aand. Die tema van die aand was Movie Premiere en die saal was opgemaak met swart drapering en fairy lights. Dit het gelyk soos iets uit n sprokiesverhaal. The DJ strutted his stuff as the guests danced, showed off their moves to the various beats and thoroughly enjoyed the music. The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the photo booth where the guests posed for instant photo strips. Later in the evening four lucky guests received Oscars for best-dressed boy and girl as well as best dance moves. Die bal was uiters suksesvol en beslis n aand wat nog lank onthou sal word.
