Goeie more almal…welkom terug by die plek waar jy die volgende 11 weke jou alles en hopelik jou beste gaan gee!
I hope you have had a chance to rest well, to recharge and to reset. A new term is like a fresh page in your note book – or for those computer boffens – a new tab in your browser, hopefully not one of the 37 already open in your head.
Soos gewoonlik, nuwe kwartaal…nuwe geleenthede!
- ‘n Geleentheid om te verbeter (Akademie, Kultuur, Sport, beter keuses of beter vriende.
- ‘n Geleentheid om beter gewoontes aan te leer ASOOK om gewoontes af te leer!
- ‘n Geleentheid om doelwitte na te jaag…weereens akademie, kulutuur, sport of enigie iets avontuurlustig.
Let’s be honest – some of us start STRONG, and by week three, we’re crawling through the corridors like extras in a Zombie movie. BUT success doesn’t come from intensity – it comes from consistency. So, show up, do whatever it takes…every day! That is the secret.
There is a quote that goes like this: “The future belongs to the consistent. Not the talented or the lucky. But the ones who keep showing up even when it is hard.”
I want to read to you the same verse we ended off with last term from the Bible…Galatians 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”
That applies to your schoolwork, friendships, your character, your faith…everything. Keep going, even when it is tough…ESPECIALLY when it is tough!
Onthou…RESPEK.
- Respekteer jou onderwysers
- Respekteer jou vriende en mede HERMIES
- Respekteer jouself genoeg deur jou beste poging aan te wend tydens die 3de kwartaal.
And to those who are feeling overwhelmed already: Just remember, you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to get better…keep progressing! Let’s make this term count!…not just for your academic achievements, or Sporting accomplishments or Cultural contribution…BUT also for WHO we are becoming this term as people, as HERMIES.
Werk HARD die kwartaal, wees VRIENDELIK en OULIK en ONDERSTEUN mekaar…wees daar vir mekaar. Vir die Matrieks is dit julle laaste volle kwartaal by die skool, maak die meeste daarvan…
