PSHS 2012: Term 1: Week 2

2012-01-23T09:54:00.000+02:00

We say farewell to Mrs Sandi Steffen. Sandi Steffen has been part of the PSHS Art Department for the past 18 years and has decided to spread her wings for more exciting challenges. She has accepted a post at the Erzurum Laboratory School in Turkey, and leaves our shores at the end of this month. She has been responsible for teaching Visual Arts and Design up to Grade 12 level and her organizational skills have proved invaluable in an otherwise open-ended, creative environment. Her matric learners have achieved outstanding results over the years, some of whom have gone on to pursue careers in the Arts and Design fields. We wish her well!

BLOOD DONOR CLINIC

The SANBS came and held its first Blood Donor Clinic last week. Pictured are our Peer Promoters for the clinics. Back L-R: Yonela Ndlwana, Kristen Johnson, Nomcebo Langa. Front L-R: Nonokazi Cele & Siyathaba Mkhize.

SPORT: BANDILE BEST OF SHEPPIE RUNNERS:

Sheppie athletes performed well at the KZN league meeting at Kings Park on Saturday. Bandile Gumbi’s two wins in the U19 200m (22,21sec) and a superb 49,64 in the 400m were both new school records. Also recording first places were Chanè van der Merwe in the 1500m (5 min 18 sec – new school record), Thgabiso Nkonyeni in the 800m (2min 10,5 sec), and newcomer Siyanda Ndlovu (23,3 in U17 200m). We were also placed second and third in no less than ten events. A great start to the season.

Our girls played some action netball last week and our first lost against Kingway and beach Kloof (21-8). On the cricket fields our 1^st team boys beat Kuswag by 114 runs. PSHS batted first and made 201 all out. Yogeshan Pillay made 52 and Sachin Kalkapersad 32 of those runs. The U14A also won their match against Kuswag by 22 runs. PSHS were 114 all out and Kuswag 82 all out, with Luka Bresciana taking 4/15 and Westley Nyman taking 3/18. Were obtained mixed results for basketball versus Pinetown.

Goodbye, Sheppie High - by Hanan Barth

2011-11-30T08:14:00.000+02:00

This is the moment I've dreamed of all my life, but in my dreams it seemed somewhat sweeter. I'm just a part of the cycle. Got my schooling experience, and now the future's next, but I'll never forget where I came from.

Port Shepstone High School has become a home to me. A place where people from different walks of life can feel a sense of togetherness. She has taught me to be the best me, and nothing short. I've gained character, maturity and learnt leadership, but most importantly, Port Shepstone High School has helped me unlock my full potential, and I'll forever be in debt to her.

Pursuing Personal Excellence, Respecting Human Dignity, Upholding Essential Values and Challenging The Future, Port Shepstone High School is true to her mission statement. This is not a place where we just receive our education and move on, but we are educated for life, we become better people.

This is my goodbye. Thank you for giving me the platform; a voice to be heard. It's been an absolute pleasure to discover myself in this process. I'm ready to move on to the next platform, and I promise that I won't disappoint you, and I'll never forget you.

An abundance of thanks to all the staff of this school for being a part of my experience. All of you kept pushing us to do our best, and I hope that you'll be proud.

My blood will always be maroon. I'm proudly Sheppie High. You'll always be a part of me, and I just hope that I've left behind even the slightest inspiration to those who are yet to come.

God bless.

[This was written by Matric learner, Hanan Barth]

Povey improved to 8,26m to claim third place (bronze) in the girls' triple

ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM EPOCH & OPTIMA TRUST FOR MATHS

2011-11-07T13:04:00.000+02:00

ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM EPOCH & OPTIMA TRUST FOR MATHS

The Epoch and Optima Trusts have continued to give additional funding to the Mathematics Department at Port Shepstone High for 2012! Over the past four years calculators were subsidized through this funding, and Mathematics classrooms were fitted with whiteboards, computers and software, data projectors and furniture.

Travis Brown entered a four-year Mathematics Learnership, funded by the Trusts. Travis is studying Mathematics through UNISA, and forms part of the team of School Assistants at Port Shepstone High. His duties are primarily focused within the Mathematics Department, where he runs the junior Maths Quiz, assists during some classes, is involved in the grade 12 Maths Extension program and gives extra lessons to learners during breaks and after school. His enthusiasm and calm and gentle approach have been an inspiration to staff and learners!

An additional Mathematics teacher is employed, funded by the Trusts. This enables us to keep our senior classes relatively small, in order to facilitate more individual attention during lesson time. The Trust funding continues to make a significant impact on the teaching and learning of Mathematics at Sheppie High; and we are extremely grateful to the trustees for their continued support. We look forward to excellent Matric results!

Used electronic devices, known as e-waste, are increasingly becoming a larger part of our waste. Fortunately, there are a number of options available to those who want to recycle their old electronic items. Well PSHS’ Eco-Club has done just that, and allowed learners and teachers to bring in their unwanted electronic waste to be disposed of in the correct manner this past Friday. Pictured from left to right are Londeka Ncane, Hloniphile Khanyawo, Mblanehle Xolo, Siphokazi Shazi & Phumelele Ngcongo.

Well done to Lungelo Madlala who has been selected for the KZN invitational Boys Soccer U19A team and Lwando Mazingisa has been chosen for the U19B team.

Ten Sheppie High athletes competed in the final league meeting before the Champs next month. Vuyo Bhomela again won the Triple jump (12.14m), closely beating Sandi Mbangiswana into second place (12,13m)! James Mellors placed second in both the 800m (2m1 1,1) and the 400m (54,8),with Thomas Russell close behind( third in 55.8). AJ Pretorius (30,24m) and Nikita Coetzer (21,65m) were our best throwers. Another three Sheppie athletes competed in the final trials for the SA games. Bandile Gumbi’s second place in the 200m (22, 6 sec) was most impressive. Celine Donnelly (4,95m) and

Jenna Surgeon (4,65m) placed second and fourth respectively.

ARBOR DAY – SPRING

Our Eco Clubs tree-planting took place last week for Arbour Week. The trees planted are Natal Milk Plum. They were planted at the bottom end of the school premises near the netball courts, a distance from the main school building, as their fruit is loved by birds and monkeys. Monkeys are a problem around the hostel and main school building, so providing natural food for the monkeys may go some way towards solving the problem. (Photo of Londeka Ncane & Phumelele Ngcongo)

I AM BLACK ENOUGH - National Young Communicators Awards Speech by Avuyile Gasela

2011-08-22T15:15:00.000+02:00

I AM BLACK ENOUGH!

Are you sure? Yes I think I’d know the colour of my own skin

Sorry you may be black but not black enough though!

Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, what you have just observed is what I call the black enough fraternity test!

A couple of weeks ago my friends and I entered into what turned out to be a heated debate about South Africa’s socio-economic challenges and social perceptions to which the outcome was that I should never talk about black people nor on behalf of black people because I am just not black enough to understand being black!

My immediate response was a series of questions . . . What does it mean to be black?

What degree of blackness am I then? What is not black enough?

Last time is check in the mirror I was black and born of a Xhosa woman u Mama {my mother} in the valleys of a small but proud village in the Eastern Cape. I am a Gasela, whose character is shaped by my culture and South African history.

It became apparent to me that black has shades in our society and these shades measure our social class. There are the black blacks – to whom the struggling portion of society belongs to and then the white blacks - which I’ve been automatically slotted into based on social class and to the minimal to which poverty has affected me.

I am an original “born free”. Simply put that just means I was born in South Africa in 1994. Technically this means all born free should have equal opportunities in life. Unfortunately this is not the case as most black born frees are faced with challenges, such as lack of access to quality education, resources and poverty. But as a “privileged” black born free, I cannot and will not be apologetic for the chance to life and a better one that my parents have afforded me. This would be a slap in their face!

I may be well off but I do see the effects of socio-economic challenges. I am aware of the need and desire for a better life for all, which is why I never forget the sacrifices made for me to be where I am. The only way for me to make a difference is to pave the way for my successors.

I refuse to be labeled a black bass! I refuse to be ostracizes because of my not black enough accent. If blackness is to be measured by level of poverty, by education, geographical location, then I do not know this black! I do not want it!

I’m black enough to talk poverty because it’s a fact of life and one that affects me indirectly, I am black enough to talk about the struggles of black people because a person is a person because of others. I am empathetic enough to understand the frustrations of a candle lit study session. I am human enough to sympathize and understand all challenges of a black man because back at home, in my deep rural and impoverished Eastern Cape village my family and friends are challenges!

Next time someone passes a comment like: “You not black enough or wanna be whitey” be sure to tell them that the black you know respects hard work, epitomizes the fact that individuals can succeed regardless of their circumstances has the desire to take part in the constant fight for freedom, equality, education and a strong connection to the black community.

Until then you are black enough to be black!

A shocked and relieved Avuyile Gassela came home from the Young Communicators Awards, which was held in Johannesburg last Friday (19 August 2011) as the first runner up (second place) prize winner. The grade 11 learner competed against nine contestants from each province where they had to deliver their prepared speeches as well as impromptu speeches. Avuyile made a last minute change to his original speech (The Art of Communication) and decided on the speech entitled “I am black enough”. The competitors had to also engage in a panel discussion where they were asked to talk about how South Africa has rested too long on the rainbow nation morals and have neglected the economic democracy. Avuile brings home a check for the school and himself (to be used towards his tertiary education) along with some other prizes and a trophy. Pictured is Avuyile right after he found out his was placed 2^nd in the country. Visit www.pshs.co.za for the Avuyile’s story and more photos. (Due to the time constraints we are unable to submit and article from Avuyile today, and will therefore post it to our site.)

“Encouraging results for Sheppie athletes".

A meeting record by Celine Donnelly (Girls open long jump), and a school record by Nikita Coetzer (Girls Discus under 15) were the highlights of Sheppy's participation at the South Coast invitation meeting held at Kingsway on Saturday 13th August'.

Sprinters Thabiso Nkonyeni (400m and Triple Jump), Vuyo Bhomela (Triple jump) and Bandile Gumbi (200m) won their events, while Thomas Russell (400m), Jenna Surgeon (100m and 200m) and Lindo Susha( 100m, 200m ) all placed second.

The middle-distance events were dominated in some age groups by Chane van der Merwe (Girls open 800m and 1500m:first), and James Mellors ( Boys under 15 800m and 1500m:first)

Soccer: Our girls’ soccer teams played Inanda Seminary on Tuesday and Wednesday and came home with mixed results, and played New Forest on Saturday where they won all their matches. Our boys also played New Forest and we won 4 and lost 2 matches.

A group of 56 History learners from Sheppie High recently spent 4 days in Gauteng on a tour, visiting museums and sites. These were chosen as they provide a variety of historical information, all based on the F.E.T syllabus. Learners soon appreciated the fact that History does not happen in a classroom, but at popular sites like the apartheid Museum, Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum, the Voortrekker Monument and the James Hall Transport Museum, they were given expert knowledge from specialist guides. Photographed are from left to right; Vuyo Majica, Pearl Khwezi, Phakamile Mavundla, David Rissik, Robyn Mollentze and James Blackemore at the Apartheid Museum.

A 6-a-side soccer tournament was held at Crawford North Coast on Saturday. 3 of our team participated.

Donovan Smithwick taking a quick cycle through Cato Manor informal settlement (Geography Tour)

Despite the cold and gloomy weather last week Thursday, the Grade 12 Geography class went on the annual excursion to Durban last week (Thursday & Friday). Learners saw first-hand the intricate CBD network as well as the informal settlements (Cate Manor Squatter Camp), along with urban decay and rejuvenation in various parts of Durban. With learning comes fun as learners went off the ice-rink. There were a few courageous ones who attempted to skate into the middle of the rink, but bruised bums and wet clothes taught them to hang onto the edge! Many thanks to Mrs Michelle Theron, Mrs Sandy du Plessis and Miss Nellie Lubbe for taking the learners.

James Mellors makes it Three in a Row.

In a very calculated way James dominated the Under 15 boys race (80 athletes) and won going away from his nearest challengers. James who only really started running competitively in grade 8 has grown from strength to strength. He is an example to all in Sheppie that with a little perseverance and commitment any athlete in the school can achieve top honours. Beverly Lehmann had a very good race and after a bit of a slow start she accelerated and closed the gap on the leaders coming in 3rd. This is a great performance when we put it in perspective as this was in an open race with 80 to 90 girls competing. Beverly like James as only been training for the last 18 months, and again it is the commitment to not miss any training sessions. Chane van der Merwe in her first race after suffering from an elliptical fit took it easy and still managed to finish 14th overall. Chane will be back to racing form at next weeks X-Country at Thomas Moore School. Phila Sogoni (sprinter) ran a good race and finished 16 in his race.

Rugby was played against Thoma More on Saturday. The teams faired well. U14A won 40-5, U15A won 38-7, 3rds lost 10-15, 2nds won 38-5 and the 1sts lost 14-10. The hockey girls came home after playing Hillcrest with a mixed bag of results. U14B won 3-0, U14 lost 0-3, U16A won 3-0, 2^nd team drew 1 all and the 1sts won 2-1. The boys hockey teams also played Hillcrest with the U16 winning 4 goals to none, U16 lost 1-3 and the 1sts drew 1all. The boys hockey also played against Thomas More with the U16 A winning 1-0, and the U16B and 1^st team losing their matches. Soccer was played against a strong Maritzburg College team and unfortunately our boys lost this game.

The Bad Seed

2011-05-09T11:16:00.004+02:00

The schools Drama Department is putting on the performance of The Bad Seed next week. The play is based on the 1954 novel by William March and adapted into a successful and long-running Broadway play by Maxwell Anderson. Rhoda Penmark (Holly Allison) is a well-mannered 10-year-old, a too-good-to-be-true grade schooler who occasionally exhibits a vicious streak whenever things don't turn out her way. In this spellbinding chronicle of evil, whatever Rhoda wants, she ruthlessly gets. Rhoda is the only child of Kenneth (Mark Surgeon) and Christine Penmark (Charissa Worthmann). Kenneth Penmark goes away on business, leaving Christine and Rhoda at home. During a picnic, one of Rhoda's schoolmates is drowned; the victim is a boy who'd won a penmanship medal that Rhoda had coveted. Christine begins to notice that Rhoda is acting strangely and is reluctantly made to see her offspring's moral blindness at work. Meanwhile, a moronic handyman accidentally tumbles upon a secret.

Performance Dates:

Tuesday, 17th May @ 18:30 - Opening Performance - Picnic Show (Bring your own picnic baskets) - R50

Thabiso pick of the day at Athletics Inter-Provincial

Thabiso pick of the day at Athletics Inter-Provincial

Thabiso Nkonyeni (PSHS) was the best performer from the South Coast at the Athletics Inter Provincial meeting (6 provinces), held at King’s Park on Saturday.

He led the triple jump (boys U15) until the last round, to finish second with a jump of 12,17m (personal best), not bad since the competition was into a strong wind. His run in the 400m was equally impressive, as he was placed in sixth place (53,7 scs, personal best) in a close race.

Beverly Lehmann (Suid-Natal) ran a gutsy 3000m to finish fourth (first KZN runner in 11m09.1scs), no doubt hampered by a recent injury. Nikita Coetzer represented KZN in the U15 discus, placing eighth. Both the girls are still U14, which is a tremendous achievement. Geraldine Marembo was also selected, but had to withdraw due to illness.

Maths Learnership at Sheppie High for 2011-2012

Travis Brown, a grade 12 learner at Port Shepstone High, has been awarded a 4-year Maths Learnership, made possible by the Epoch and Optima Trust funds. Travis plans to do a B.Sc in Mathematics, followed by a post-graduate certificate in Education, through Unisa, after which he will join the teaching profession as a Maths educator. During this study time he will be employed by the school as a Mathematics intern, assisting learners with their Maths, as well as performing other duties in the Maths Department. The bursary includes partial sponsorship of his study fees, as well as a monthly stipend; and has a total value of close to R 240 000. Joyce Wanjogu, of the Epoch and Optima trusts, has congratulated Travis on his decision to become a Maths teacher, and wishes him every

success in his endeavour.

Sheppie High is on the warpath against paper waste and has located 10 large paper recycling bins from Waste Dudez around the school to encourage learners to reccycle their paper. This is the first step to making Sheppie High a little more ‘greener’ [Picture attached of learners and the bins from Waste Dudez]

The Leo Club again did some charitable work recently and visited the Filadelfia U’mephi Baby Home recently. Seen are some of the members delivering some needed baby supplies (powdered milk & nappies). [Picture attached]

Some learners who take time out during their breaks to sing Gospel Songs had the opportunity to sing some residents at the Village of Happiness earlier last week.

Now for some touch rugby results from Last Friday’s matches: The girls A team beat Durban Girls High B team 5 points to 0, the Girls B team beat Kloof’s C team 3-1 and the Boys A team drew 3 all against Kingsway’s B team.
