IT’S COOL TO LOVE YOUR SCHOOL
You know what is cool these days?
(1) Sneakers that cost more than my first car!
(2) TikTok dances that you can learn in 30 seconds.
And
(3) Loving your school!
LOVE is about investment
When you love something – a sport, a hobby, a person, your dog…you put time and effort into it.
Loving your school means (1) caring about how it looks, (2) how people treat each other, (3) how much effort you put into your own learning and (4) the way you present yourself as an ambassador of the school.
Om lief te wees vir jou skool is aansteeklik
Positiewe energie versprei soos ‘n veldbrand! As jy met trots oorvertel aan ander oor jou skool, hoe dit lyk en wat daar aangaan sal ander mense dit baie vinning optel.
Negatiwiteit versprei ongelukkig net so vinnig! So, wees versigtig dat jy nie perongeluk of selfs opsetlik die een is wat die skool se naam en gees aftrek met wat jy sê, doen of post nie.
Pride leads to excellence
A sports team that love their jersey and the way they look, plays harder! Those are just facts.
Students that are proud of their school push for better grades or marks, push for better behaviour and better opportunities and facilities for everyone.
Sommige mense dink dat om jou skoolbaadjie (blazer) op die korekte manier te dra met die boonste knopie vas is wat skooltrots definieer. Wel…dis ‘n goeie begin! Maar as jy LIEF en TROTS is op jou skool, sal jy ook die badkamers met respek hanteer en in ‘n goeie kondisie of toestand los.
EK WIL VIR JULLE GRAAG SO PAAR FOTOS WYS VAN ONS…NEE, JULLE SKOOL SE BADKAMERS.
Hierdie SKOOL, ONS skool, moet ‘n plek wees waar dinge netjies is, waar alles werk, waar mense veilig voel, waar dit LEKKER is.
Because NOTHING says “school spirit” quite like NOT FLOODING the bathroom, not kicking a hole in the door, not writing graffiti on the walls and doors of the bathrooms or anywhere else.
Colossians 3:23 says: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Being cool isn’t just about what you wear or who you hang out with. In this case, it is about making your environment better! So, will people remember you as the one who lifted the school spirit – or the one who just scrolled through it? Let’s make loving the school the coolest trend we’ve ever started! Because “IT’S COOL TO LOVE YOUR SCHOOL”
PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for this amazing school…the people IN it as well as the facilities and opportunities that we have at this school. Help us to appreciate it by displaying an attitude of gratitude, by showing respect for all we have, incorrectly accepted as a given and as normal. Help us to preserve and protect what we have and to let our LOVE for this school overflow in our everyday life in how we look, behave and treat other people that cross our paths.
AMEN
