From the Principals office Mr D.G. Grobler Examinations are now under way and here are a few tips to bear in mind when preparing each day. Learners must always remember that there are no short cuts to success. They have to study well to achieve the results they are aiming for. Never fear or hate examinations, which is usually the result of the anxiety of not achieving the results the learner has strived for. The learners should always be confident, as it is this power that will ensure success. Study atmosphere plays a vital role in the success of the learning process. Select an area which is quiet and comfortable. There shouldnt be noises that will cause distraction. Sit up straight. The learner should always sit in a proper manner when studying. Lying down in a position where legs are elevated above head level, will affect blood flow direction and cause sleepiness. Make notes while studying. Making mind maps or key words in reference to the information the learner is studying will help keep the mind interested. Additionally the use of colours, diagrams and pictorial representation will enhance long term memory retention. Sleep and eat well. Good nutrition and decent sleep are just as important to the process of learning as is good methods of study. A good nourishing breakfast which includes protein and a carbohydrate is essential. A banana rich in magnesium prior to learning or writing an examination will ensure better mental focus. Write and present well. Learners must remember that neat presentation on the examination paper is exceptionally important. Remember that the first impression is the best impression. If the teacher cant read the answer it is impossible to give a mark.

I wish all the learners much luck with the examinations. Learn hard and give of your very best. The December vacation is less than a month away, and there will be plenty of time to rest and enjoy time with friends and family.

Erasmus het haar Vader gaan bystaan wat baie siek is en in hierdie tyd was haar twee susters en swaer in n baie groot motorongeluk. Me. Erasmus se suster is oorlede in die ongeluk en haar swaer het Dinsdag aan sy beserings beswyk. Juf Elize, ons het geen woorde nie, maar u is in ons harte en gedagtes.
