Vanjaar se keuse van die tema vir die Martie du Plessis-skool se Aand van die Sterre kon nie meer gepas gewees het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So het die skoolhoof, Francois van Heerden, ges\u00ea op die 21ste geleentheid waarop di\u00e9 spog-aand op Donderdag 12 September by die skool aangebied is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns tema vir vanjaar \u2013 Padlangs met \u2019n ander pad \u2013 word op soveel maniere benadruk,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onbewus van hoe die tema van die aand spreekwoordelik gaan waar word, het Van Heerden vooraf verduidelik dat die tema behels dat ons soms sorgvuldig ons roete beplan, net om te ontdek dat omstandighede \u2019n ander pad mag verg. \u201cSelfs ons beplande bestemming moet dalk aangepas word weens die omstandighede waarin ons ons bevind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hoofspreker wat die aand sou optree, Ollie Terblanche, \u2019n rugbyspeler wat in Januarie 2015 verlam gelaat is n\u00e1 \u2019n rugbybesering, moes dringend \u2019n operasie ondergaan en het die Sondag voor die geselligheid laat weet dat hy dit nie kon haal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Heerden s\u00ea hy het dadelik gedink aan \u2019n oudleerling van Martie wat deesdae ho\u00eb hoogtes bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason Mc Mahon, wat in 2018 Martie du Plessis se dux-leerling was en vier onderskeidings in sy matriek-eksamen behaal het, het verlede Dinsdag inderhaas na Bloemfontein gevlieg en saam met sy ma, Deirdre, aan sy toespraak begin werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miskien is Jason se storie nie juis padlangs nie, maar sy roete luglangs het die gehoor gaande gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kind wat in gr. 3 by Martie du Plessis begin skoolgaan het en dit besonder moeilik gevind het om te lees, spel en te skryf weens disleksie, het vandag sy droomwerk met \u2019n blink toekoms wat voor hom l\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die geleentheid het hy ges\u00ea sy pa, Alan, het hom vertel van al die bekende mense wat disleksie het en steeds w\u00eareldberoemd geword het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het besluit om my uitdaging in \u2019n droom te omskep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 skool het Jason telkens teleurstellings beleef, selfs nadat hy \u2019n volle beurs ontvang het om meganiese ingenieurswese te studeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie deure het een vir een vir my toegegaan. Ek onthou toe van \u2019n praatjie wat ek in gr. 8 gehoor het oor \u2019n loopbaan in lugvaart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in Augustus 2021 \u2019n kursus as lugvaart-tegnikus by die 43 Lugvaartskool in Port Alfred gevolg en die kursus met \u2019n gemiddeld van 90% voltooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy droom het waar geword. Niks kon my nou stop nie, het ek gedink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert Februarie verlede jaar werk Jason by Cape Town Helicopters, en hy het reeds sy lisensies as lugvaart-onderhoud\u00adingenieur (LAME) verwerf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason s\u00ea sy droom sou nie waar geword het as dit nie vir die groot ondersteuning van onderwysers by Martie du Plessis was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die projekte wat juis baie gehelp het met sy akademie op skool, gaan nou opgegradeer word. Geld wat met 2024 se Aand van die Sterre ingesamel word, gaan gebruik om 42 tien-jaar-oue rekenaars wat leerlinge tydens eksamens gebruik, op te gradeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martie du Plessis het sedert sy ontstaan in 1957 die landskap van onderwys verander deur ho\u00ebgehalte hoofstroom-onderrig te bied aan leerlinge wat die hoofstroom kurrikulum kan bemeester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sluit leerlinge in met serebrale gestremdheid, fisieke gestremdhede, spesifieke leergestremdhede en leerling wat hoog-funksionerend op die outismespektrum is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
