Skool moet deure sluitNICOLE MCCAIN
Tonko Bosman Primêre Skool word die aandie einde van die jaar deur die Wes-Kaapseonderwysdepartement (WKOD) gesluit.
En, terwyl dieleerlinge en die on-derwysers na ’n nu-we skool skuif, isdaar een lid van dieskool – Winnie, dieskoolhond – watmoet agterbly.
Winnie, wat byeen van die naburi-ge huise bly, woonreedsdie afgelope 12jaar Tonko Bosmanby. En volgensYvonne Swartz, eenvandieskoolsetweeonderwysers, mis sy omtrent nooit ’n dag seskoolnieenwassynognooitlaatnie.“Ekonthoudie een dag wat sy afwesig was, het al die gr. 1’shaargaansoek.Hullehetalgillendteruggekom:‘Ons het Winnie gekry. Ons het Winnie gekry’.”
Bronagh Casey, woordvoerder van die Wes-Kaapse departement van onderwys, sê die be-sluit om die skool te sluit, is geneem weens diemin inskrywings.
Die skool wat op die Heldervalley-plaas op dieR44 geleë is, het tans net 28 leerlinge, van gr. 1tot 6. In 2000, het skool bereken hulle kon sowat200 leerlinge akkommodeer, maar slegs 75 hetingeskryf. Die getalle neem steeds af.
Eugene van Graan, skoolhoof, sê die afnameingetalle is tewyteaandie feit datplaaswerkersnie meer op die plase woon nie en na gebiedesoosMacassarenStrandverhuiswaardaarsko-le is.
Casey sênog ’nprobleemisdatdie skoolmeeras een graad per klas moes huisves. Van Graansê hy onderrig drie grade in een klas.
“Ek moet die werk doen van twee mense endis baie veeleisend.” Hy voeg by dat die skooldie enigste multi-graadskool in die gebied is.
Volgens Van Graan is die skool, wat in die1950’s gestig is, nadieplaaslikeboer se seunver-noem. Tonko was baie lief vir die plaaskinders.Hy het leukemie opgedoen en was terminaalsiek. Hy het versoek dat ná sy dood ’n skool ter
nagedagtenis aan hom opgerig word eerder asom ’n gedenkteken op te rig.
Van Graan, wat 20 jaar hier skool gegee het,meen dit is vir die beste dat die skool sluit. Hyvoerdiegebrekaangerieweasdiehoofredeaan.
Die skool het geensportvelde nie en raakvervalle. Die meestevan die ouers is plaas-werkers, sê VanGraan, en dit is vir diérede dat die skool as ’ngeenfooi-skool geklas-sifiseer is. Dit betekenegter dat daar beperk-te fondse vir verbete-ringe is.
Tonko Bosman isboonop ook op privaatgrond gebou wat aandie onderwysdeparte-mentverhuurword,sê
Casey, en hulle kan nie staatsgeld gebruik omprivateeiendomoptegradeerofomdiebestaan-de fasiliteit te onderhou nie.
Winnie – soos die geboue rondom haar – lykgehawend.Haarouderdombeginwys,haardow-we grys hare is ietwat te lank en hang in haaroë. Maar die kinders is baie lief vir haar en om-hels en streel haar graag.
“DeurWinniehethullewerklikgeleerhoeomvir diere lief te wees en hulle te versorg,” sêSwartz met trane in haar oë. Winnie het haareie stoel in die klas, maar begin elke dag deursaam met die kinders op die mat te sit, vertelSwartz wat al 24 jaar hier skoolhou.
Die personeel en leerlinge sal na Raithby Pri-mêre Skool skuif wat ongeveer 3,5 km daarvan-daan is.
Casey sê by die nuwe skool sal hulle toegangtot buitemuurse aktiwiteite en ’n beter infra-struktuur hê as by Tonko Bosman. Die onder-wysdepartement sal ook vervoer vir die leerlin-ge na hul nuwe skool verskaf.
Maar Winnie sal nie kan saamgaan nie. “Onsis bang vir volgende jaar. Sy mag dalk probeerom die kinders oor die R44, wat ’n baie besigepad is, te volg,” sê Swartz.
“Onsskertsdatsyreedshaarmatriekgemaakhet aangesien sy al 12 jaar ‘skool gaan’.”
Dit blyk of Winnie aan die einde van dié jaarhaar skoolloopbaan vaarwel sal moet roep.

Petisie vir beter diens by kliniekStrand-inwoners het Saterdagmet die bestuur en gesond-heidskomitee van die Gus-trouw Gemeenskaps Gesond-heidsentrum vergader.
Volgens Abdullah Aziz, onder-voorsitter van die sentrum se ge-sondheidskomitee, is die verga-deringbelêomverskeieproblemewat pasiënte ondervind aan tespreek. Die oorvol fasiliteit as ge-volg van die beperkte spasie vandie kliniek is van die problemewat op die petisie ingesluit is.Aziz sê ongeveer 400 pasiënte
word daagliks by die kliniek be-handel. Nog ’n probleem is datdaar nie ’n aparte wagkamer virTB enMIV-pasiënte is nie, en dathul sodoende aan aansteeklikesiektes blootgestel word.Die petisie sal in Desember aan
die departement van gesondheidgestuur word.Bel Abdullah Aziz op 073 313

SLP families homeafter fireThe four families affectedby the fire inRiem-vasmaak in Sir Lowry’s Pass have rebuilttheir homes and moved back into them.The Helderberg community has opened
theirhearts to thevictimsthroughdonationsof food, clothing, building material and la-bour.The fire, which was allegedly started by a
candle in Julia Petersen’s house just before21:00 last Saturday, destroyed the home sheshares with eight others. Her 72-year-oldmother, Maggie, was admitted to the Helder-berg Hospital for burn wounds and was dis-charged the following day. Community lead-ers have on several occasions requested forelectricity for the settlement, which was es-tablished when the City of Cape Town relo-cated families worst affected by flooding tothe site in July. Ernest Sonnenberg, Maycomember Human Settlements says theplanned incremental development area is anEskom electricity supply area. “The humansettlements directorate has asked Eskom tosupply electricity, but this will be subject toEskom’s approvals and timelines.”

Getting through examsMatric exams are well underway, andmatriculants acrosstheHelderberg arehoping fora little bit of extra luck to getthem through the questionpapers.The exams kicked off on 22
October with English papers,and the matrics have sincewritten maths, history andaccounting, amongst othersubjects. The exams are dueto end on 28 November.GordonHigh School princi-
pal,BernardSimons, says theexams have gone smoothlythus far, and he is expectinggood results.The Gazette spoke to ma-
triculants at GordonHigh, tohear what brings them goodluck.
Nicole Pedrosê sy het nie’n gelukbrin-ger nie. “Ekglo nie daar-innie.Ditwatjy insit, sal jyuitkry. Jymoet nethard genoegleer.”
ForMandilakheMvanestudy-ing is his lucky charm. “If youstudy, it gives you confidenceand that brings more luckthan something material.”
Bronwyn For-tuin says hedoesn’t need alucky charm.“You just haveto study, that’senough.”
Amy Savouryalwayswearsasilver chain tobring her luck.“My boyfriendgave it to me.Iwearit foreve-ry exam.”
Devon Thomassays he alwayscarries a luckycoin. “I have aSwedish Kronawhich is mygood luckcharm. I playgolf, and I useit to mark myball. It’s abit su-perstitious, butit helps me.”
Helderberg school dropouts a concernHelderberg high school principals are wor-ried about the rate of dropouts at theirschools.Gordon High, which has almost 1 250 pu-
pils,hadalmost 70 leaveby theendofSeptem-ber, says principal Bernard Simons.Macassar Secondary School principal Yu-
suf Abrahams, says that to date he has had63 of his 770 pupils leave the school. “Thisis a lot, but there are usually more – around90 to 100 every year.”Eric Titipane, principal of Khanyolwethu
High school in Lwandle did not have thenumber of school leavers available, but says
the school does have a high number of pupilswho drop out.Bronagh Casey, spokesperson forWestern
Cape MEC of Education, Donald Grant, saysthat no records are kept for pupils droppingout of high school. However, a retention rateis calculated for the entire province, takinginto account how many pupils started grade1 and finished grade 12. This is currently at56%.All the principals cite socioeconomic rea-
sons as a factor in pupils dropping out ofschool, and that pupils also often leave be-cause they struggle academically.
“Wehavealotofdropouts ingrade10,”saysTitipane. “Some of the pupils relocate, but inmany cases it comes down to the livelihoodof the families. Some just can’t afford to bein school, even though we’re a no feesschool.”The principals also say that drugs, gangs
and teenage pregnancy also play a role in pu-pils dropping out. The lack of a completed ed-ucation will hamper pupils later in life, saysTitipane. “The consequences are far reach-ing. We need literate adults.”According to Abrahams the solution lies
with parents, and Titipane agrees, saying
that a culture of learning needs to be promot-ed at home. “There’s a disintegration of thefamily, and this leads to a lack of guidancefor pupils.” Titipane also thinks the commu-nity need to have indabas and forums to en-courage learning.Abrahams says that pupils who drop out
very seldom return to school.Simons, however, says hewelcomes pupils
back into the school if they’ve dropped out.“We’ll let them back, depending on how
much work they’ve missed. Many pupils re-turn the followingyear, especially after preg-nancies. All of us make mistakes.”

Stad Kaapstad verleen hulp aan RiemvasmaakStad Kaapstad verleen hulp aan RiemvasmaakDie getraumatiseerde gesinne van Riem-vasmaak wie se huise in ’n brand verwoesis, is in die steek gelaat.Dis ’n duidelike bewys dat die Kaapse
stadsraad nie ’n stad is wat omgee vir diémense wat soos derde-klas burgers behan-del word nie.Die raadslid van die betrokke area was
nadievoorval versoekom ’n saal, as tydeli-ke huisvesting, beskikbaar te stel. Dit isnie gedoen nie en is onaanvaarbaar.Hierdie brief moenie gesien word as ’n
aanval op die raadslid nie, maar ’n beroepop hom om sensitief te wees vir die behoef-tes en nood van die betrokkenes. Tydensmy besoek Sondag aan Riemvasmaak het
’n amptenaar van dieKaapstad se informe-le nedersetting-afdeling, geweier om ’n op-ruimingspan te skakel om vullis te verwy-der, want volgens hom is dit nie sy werknie. Ons vra graag die gemeenskap se on-dersteuning in die vorm van kos, klere enboumateriaal vir die vier gesinne en sesvan die kinders onder 12 jaar oud wat allesin brand verloor het.Andrew Arnolds, City of Light ProjectJohan Middleton, Wyk 100 raadslid sê:
“Ons is baie jammer vir die verlies en salhelp waar ons kan. Ons het Saterdag diebrandweer en rampbestuurgebel.Die infor-mele nedersettings het die volgende oggendmense van materiaal voorsien. Die inwo-
ners moet verantwoordelikheid neem, enversigtiger wees oor waar hul aanstekerslos sodat die jongspan dit nie in die handekry nie”.Raadslid Ernest Sonnenberg, burge-meesterskomiteelid vir menslike neder-settings sê: Die standaard herbou-mate-riaal isaan inwonerswatdeurdiebrandgeraak is uitgereik. Die gebied is Maan-dag opgeruim. Dit was nie nodig om diesaal beskikbaar te stel nie, omdat die ge-sinne by hulle vriende en familie gaanbly het. Daar was ’n versoek dat die ge-sinne ’n warm ete kry, maar gegewe dielae getalle is daar eerder besluit om kos-pakkies te voorsien.
