Wow, where has 2015 gone?! Can you believe it’s only 5 weeks until schools close and 8 weeks until Christmas?
It’s been a jam-packed year with sports, academics, concerts, social events, award ceremonies etc …
I’m sure that the one thing on every teacher, student and (especially) parents’ mind is final exams, eeck! But in the very wise words of my favourite little fish, Dory: “Just keep swimming”.
From the AWSUM team we’d like to wish you all good luck with the last stretch, we know that you’ll be doing your absolute best.
We hope you enjoy this issue
of AWSUM, also remember to look out for the winners of our Facebook competition. The winners will be announced on 30 October.

7 HOT GARDEN TIPS:1. Do not mow your lawn for a week prior and a week after spraying it with herbicides. This might irritate you, but it will give the herbicide the best chance to deal with the abundance of pesky weeds which sprouted during winter.
2. Start mulching your garden, leaving no bare earth uncovered – this will help the garden cope with high temperatures and hot summer winds to come. Watch out for red spider mite on roses, fuchsias and Azaleas.
3. Now that waterblommetjies are starting to go dormant in ponds, try something grassy around the edge and in the water. Go for tufty Juncus
effusus, a perennial grass- or reed-like plant which loves growing in streambeds and marshes.
4. For colour all summer, plant pelargoniums! These beauties like plenty of light, well drained soil, water when the soil feels dry and good air circulation. Feed them every two weeks with a water soluble fertiliser – they are very tough, but very hungry plants!
5. Spray your apple and pear trees towards the end of the month for coddling moth. Keep on watering citrus trees regularly and deeply.
6. Cucumbers are quick growers and ready for harvesting in only 2 months. They can be planted in the garden or in pots as they grow upwards and do not take up much space. Ensure that soil is well composted and kept moist.
7. Fine Mediterranean herbs to grow are Rosmarinus ‘Tuscan Blue’ with its lovely sky blue flowers and long stems (which can be used as fragrant skewers for sosaties), Santolina chamaecyparissus (cotton lavender) with aromatic, lemony smelling, grey foliage and mustard yellow pompom flowers.

BOLAND PLATTELAND 0.17 SPANMarnes Gouws in gr. 11 is verkies tot die Boland Platteland se 0.17-span. Dit is ‘n baie groot prestasie vir hierdie leerder van HS Strand.
BREDASDORP TOP 10-BYEENKOMSTwintig atlete van HS Strand het op 16 en 17 Oktober aan die Top 10-byeenkoms in Bredasdorp deelgeneem. In die “groot skole-kategorie” waarin ons skool val, was daar 25 skole wat deelgeneem het – die meeste met meer as een span. Ons atlete moes meeding teen baie sterk atlete van onder andere Outeniqua, Paul Roos, Bloemhof, Paarl Gim, Boys High en so meer. Dit was dus waardevolle kompetisie in hierdie deel van die seisoen.
Atlete wat mooi presteer het en punte vir die span ingebring het, was die volgende: • Christall van Rensburg 1e Hoogspring D.17 1,55m• Melissa Niemand 2e Hamergooi D.17 41,37m• Christiaan de Wet 2e Hoogspring S.15 1,80m• Bianca van Deventer 3e Spiesgooi D.14 30,72m• Christiaan de Wet 3e 100m hekkies S.15 13,69s• Misha Erasmu 4e 400m D.171:06,12• Henri Blignaut 4e 800m S.17 4:23,60• Enya Scholtz 4e Hamergooi D.15 28,87m• Adriaan Kennedy 5e 300m hekkies S.14 45,78s• Adriaan Kennedy 6e Hoogspring S.14 1,50m• Henrico Janse van Rensburg 6e Spiesgooi S.17 43,70m
Nog ‘n lekkerte was die feit dat die span die Vrydagaand op Kleinbaai oorgeslaap het en ‘n lekker spanbougeleentheid gehad het.Op pad Kleinbaai toe, het die span ook die Penguin Sanctuary besoek.Die span is deur me. A Louw, L Ziehl en mnr. Koos van Dyk vergesel.
HOOGSPRINGChristall van Rensburg het ‘n eerste plek by die byeenkoms behaal in dogters 0.17-hoogspring met 1.55 m.

OOS, WES, DRAMA, BES!Paul Roos se toneelspan seëvier die afgelope tyd met hul nuutgeskrewe komedie uit die pen van regisseur Esther von Waltsleben.Mullets en Mowhawks handel oor twee Graad 8-seuns, Chris (Thomas Winter) en Schalk (Thys Sutherland), wat skool “bunk” en die geleentheid gebruik om Schalk se pa se “man-cave” te bemeester. Wanneer dié twee ’n ongemerkte kasset in die video-speler druk, suig die televisie hulle in en dis met klassieke karakters soos MacGyver en die mal manne van die A-team dat dié twee weer hul weg moet vind, terug na die werklikheid.Luke White (hierbo saam met Thomas Winter) is vanjaar tydens drie van die land se gesogste toneelfeeste bekroon as beste ondersteunende akteur.Thys en Thomas het tydens die Durbanville Toneelfees opslae gemaak met ’n toekenning vir die mees uiteenlopende prestasie.

Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door, and makes a quick friend in Champ (Ryan Lee). But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah’s mysterious dad is in fact R.L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. As Zach starts learning about the strange family next door, he soon discovers that Stine holds a dangerous secret: the creatures that his stories made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. In a crazy night of adventure, it’s up to Zach, Hannah, Champ, and Stine to team up and get all of these figments of Stine’s imagination – including Slappy the Dummy, the girl with the
haunted mask, the gnomes and many more – back in the books where they belong to save the town. PG10.
