Die polisie, onderwysers en onderwysbeamptes het verlede Maandag (24\u2009November) by Sir Lowry’s Pass Prim\u00eare Skool saamgestaan om kinders by ‘n lewensveranderende imbizo uit die kloue van dwelms, bendes en misdaad te red.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die provinsiale onderwysdepartement se Metro-Oos-distrik se Safe Schools-program het deelnemers uit die gemeenskap na hul Dwelmmisbruik-imbizo in die skool se saal gelok. Verteenwoordigers van verskeie gemeenskapsorganisasies het ‘n verenigde front gevorm om werklike uitdagings wat leerders raak, te takel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gemeenskapsleiers
Gemeenskapsleiers en amptenare toon solidariteit deur saam met die leerders tydens die imbizo te sit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die imbizo het met ‘n gebed deur Sharene de Bosch begin, wat leerders uitgedaag het om krities oor hul keuses te dink en verantwoordelikheid te aanvaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sharene
Sharene de Bosch bied leerders Jaydin Stoffels, Quanita Kwangi, Lethu Xhalabile en Christiaan Vollenhoven keuses uit ‘n sak aan, waar elke keuse gevolge het – ‘n metafoor vir lewenskeuses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shaun Salfieris van Somwes Charter het ‘n oortuigende aanbieding oor boeliegedrag gelewer. Hy het gewys hoe hierdie skadelike gedrag blywende gevolge het \u2013 nie net vir slagoffers nie, maar ook vir oortreders.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shaun
Shaun Salfieris, ‘n gesertifiseerde lewensafrigter, spreek leerders toe oor die impak van boeliegedrag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shanou Robyntjies het die hoofonderwerp aangepak en passievol oor dwelmgebruik gepraat. Sy het ‘n prentjie van die verwoestende gevolge van alkohol- en dwelmgebruik op jong lewens geskilder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dumile Gubuza, ‘n senior onderwysbeampte van die distrik, het saam met Marilee Benjamin van die Safe Schools-program gewerk om die ernstige gevolge van inbraak en vandalisme te bespreek. Hulle het beklemtoon hoe voortdurende skoolafwesigheid en om uit klasse weg te bly tot ‘n gevaarlike agteruitgang in akademiese sukses en lewensgeleenthede kan lei.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die geleentheid het sy hoogtepunt bereik toe kapt. Charles Riffel, bevelvoerder van die Sir Lowry’s Pass-satellietpolisiekantoor, die naakte werklikheid van misdaad skerp in fokus gebring het. Hy het verseker dat leerders verstaan \u2013 swak keuses vandag kan m\u00f4re tot ernstige regsgevolge lei.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie insiggewende imbizo het aan leerders gewys dat skynbaar klein keuses in lewensveranderende gevolge kan ontwikkel. Deur onderwysbeamptes, gemeenskapsleiers en wetstoepassers bymekaar te bring, het die geleentheid ‘n kragtige boodskap geskep: die hele gemeenskap staan saam om di\u00e9 jong mense se sukses te verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
