Die Ho\u00ebrskool Hermanus se onderwysers en leerders het bewys presies wat in hulle steek toe hulle verlede week tot \u2019n leerling-valskermswewer, wat ongeveer 15 m bo die grond in die takke van \u2019n ho\u00eb boom vasgesit het, se redding gekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skoolhoof, Mike Smuts, vertel dit was tweede pouse toe die drama in een van die ho\u00eb bloekombome in die parkeerterrein oorkant die skool se rugbyveld afgespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy eerste gedagte was \u2018die ou moet uit die boom klim\u2019, maar toe ek sien hoe hoog hy hang, het ek besef die situasie is baie ernstig,\u201d vertel Smuts. \u201cDie takke was maar dun, en as hy sou val, sou dit hom nie eintlik gekeer het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die atmosfeer, s\u00ea Smuts, was een van opwinding sowel as vrees. Die plaaslike reddingsdienste is ontbied, maar hul leer was nie lank genoeg om die valskermswewer te bereik nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die onderwysers Mavis de Villiers, Deon Kuhn, Jacques Mangiagalli en Dayne Nel het egter reggestaan om te verseker dat als glad verloop terwyl hul kollega Gita Schulenberg, wat \u2019n noodhulpbeampte is, ook bygestaan het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is baie trots op my personeel, wat die kinders gestuur het om die hoogspringmatte te gaan haal om \u2019n sagte landing te verseker. Ek is net so trots op die leerders, wat sonder om vrae te vra, geluister het,\u201d het Smuts ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van di\u00e9 leerders, s\u00ea Smuts, is nie jou tipiese \u201cmodel-leerders\u201d nie, maar het dadelik ingespring om te help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het die dik hoogspringmatte onder die leiding van die onderwysers en nooddienspersoneel styf om die boom gepak om die valskermswewer se val te help demp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die leerders, s\u00ea Smuts, was nie te gelukkig toe hulle na hul klasse moes terugkeer toe die klok lui nie. \u201cOns het nie geweet hoe dinge gaan afspeel nie en wou nie h\u00ea die kinders moet dit aanskou as iets dalk sou skeefloop nie,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smuts en van die onderwysers het egter agtergebly om te kyk wat gebeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was seker vyf of 10 minute later toe die ou uit die boom geval het. Hy het allerhande interessante woorde ges\u00ea, maar toe ek dit hoor, het ek geweet hy gaan oukei <\/i>wees,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het later gehoor die valskermswewer het net \u2019n gekraakte rib sowel as talle skraap- en skaafmerke opgedoen en moes \u2019n paar steke aan sy een vinger kry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
