Besonders trots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 meen Sydney Heuvel, \u2019n werknemer aan Somerset-Wes Prim\u00eare Skool (SWPS), wie se dekades lange diens verlede week vereer is met \u2019n spesiale gebaar wat erkenning gee aan sy merkwaardige pligsgetrouheid en lojaliteit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Nuutgeboude paviljoen by die skool is na Heuvel, wat bykans 40 jaar se uitnemende en legendariese diens aan die skool gewy het, vernoem. \u201cEk is baie dankbaar vir die hartroerende nalatenskap waarmee ek gese\u00ebn is,\u201d het die nederige Macassar-inwoner, wat die skool se leuse Nil Sine Labore <\/em>(niks word bereik sonder arbeid nie) uitleef, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heuvel het in \u2019n terugblik met blydskap herroep dat hy in 1982 as algemene werker by die Helderberg se oudste laerskool aangesluit het. \u201cDit was heeltemal anders as nou. Ek het in die apartheid-jare by die skool, wat toe vir \u2018slegs blankes\u2019 was, begin. Net die algemene werkers was bruinmense. Mnr. Potgieter was die skoolhoof, en mnr. Theron die adjunkhoof. Hulle het my openlik ontvang en ek het my sedertdien lojaal aan die skool toegewy,\u201d het hy vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heuvel is n\u00e1 twee dekades bevorder en het van 2003 tot sy vroe\u00eb aftrede op 60-jarige ouderdom in 2019 as hoofopsigter gedien. Hy is destyds deur die skool se huidige bestuur genader en hoewel hy ontnugter was oor die besluit wat hom sy salaris en moontlik lewensbestaan sou kos, is hy gevra aan te bly en as algemene werker terug te keer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar, soos passie gekoppel is aan die beroep van elke liewe Summies-personeellid wat as gevolg hiervan verskeie hoede dra, is dit \u2019n natuurlike liefde vir kinders wat Heuvel laat voel asof hy nooit \u2019n dag in sy lewe werk nie. \u201cEk put ongelooflik baie genot uit die leerders. Hulle hou my jonk en aan die gang,\u201d het hy met \u2019n glimlag ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benewens die veeleisende take en pligte soos uitgel\u00ea in sy posbeskrywing, sal ouers of besoekers hom dikwels raakloop terwyl hy uit eie inisiatief die jonger skoolkinders oor die pad help, die kleingoed vingerswaaiend vermaan om hulle uit die kattekwaad te hou of te verseker dat \u2019n ieder en \u2019n elk wat by die skoolhek verskyn, geholpe raak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Heuvel het ook deel geword van die familie-tradisie wat SWPS oor verskeie geslagte geword het. Maar, soos die harde werker \u2019n aanwins is vir die gemeenskapsbaken, speel die skoolgemeenskap ook \u2019n belangrike rol in Heuvel se lewe. Saam deel hulle in die lief en leed. \u201cDie skool was vir my daar toe ek my eerste vrou in 2010 verloor het, en my bygestaan toe ek weer trou beloof het aan my eggenoot, Jolyn. Ek waardeer almal en is veral trots op Mnr. Poole en wat hy as adjunkhoof by die skool bereik het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poole het Heuvel as \u201cbaie lojaal\u201d beskryf en ges\u00ea di\u00e9 pligsgetroue werker was al in diens toe Poole in 2006 by die skool aangesluit het. \u201cDie manier wat hy werk aangepak het, was besonders, veral hoe hy die velde met passie versorg het \u2013 die foto\u2019s van die atletiekbyeenkomste dui as bewys hiervan. Hy weet wanneer wat gedoen moet word, en ons kan altyd op hom staatmaak,\u201d het Poole, wat as atletiek-organiseerder die verantwoordelikheid vir die voorbereiding van die velde saam met Heuvel deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heuvel is dikwels ook koerier en is die gekwalifiseerde bestuurder van die skoolbus wat leerders vervoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy bestuur ook nog \u2019n stel wiele soos niemand anders nie \u2013 die trekker. En, volgens Poole, is d\u00edt waar die storie agter die storie inkom: Die paviljoen by die nuwe netbal- en tennisbane bied \u2019n stoorplek waar die trekker geb\u00eare word. Gevolglik het die voorstel om die paviljoen na hom te vernoem, verlede jaar in \u2019n vergadering met die beheerliggaam opgeduik. Almal het ingestem dat Heuvel die eer verdien. Die nuwe sitplek vir toeskouers is nadat dit voltooi is amptelik tydens voorverlede naweek se Wintersportdag by die skool as die Sydney Heuvel-paviljoen bekendgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het byna in trane uitgebars,\u201d het Heuvel ges\u00ea. \u201cEk is bly dat ek kan waardeer wat die skool vir my beteken en die skool kan waardeer wat ek vir hulle beteken. Ek is trots op die personeel en dankbaar vir die mense wie hulle is, en hul ondersteuning en liefde.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sydney Heuvel, \u2019n werknemer aan
