<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMet harde werk en deursettingsvermo\u00eb het hy later sy kwalifika-sies verbeter sodat hy \u2019n bevorderingspos kon bekom. Dit het hy gedoen deur gedurende 1983 en 1984 drie maal per week aandklasse in Gqeberha by te woon, terwyl hy voltyds onderrig gegee het. <\/p>\n
Sy harde werk het in 1987 vrugte afgewerp deurdat hy tot departementshoof bevorder is en in 1990 tot adjunkhoof. In hierdie pos het hy trots sy skool en sy gemeenskap tot in 2016 gedien, met \u2019n jaar se studieverlof in 1992, waartydens hy voltyds studeer het. <\/p>\n
In 2015 is hy aangestel as waarnemende hoof van Hankey Prim\u00ear en hy het in 2016 amptelik in die pos begin werk. <\/p>\n
Van Rooyen noem tydens \u2019n onderhoud met Kouga Express <\/span>dat die besluit om na al die jare in die onderwys af te tree, nie een is wat hy ligtelik geneem het nie, maar na die skielike afsterwe van sy vrou tydens die 2020 COVID-19 pandemie het hy gevoel dat dit nou die regte tyd is om die vaandel aan te gee na die volgende leier. <\/p>\nKouga Express<\/span> het hom gevra wat, uit sy jarelange ondervinding, hy as die grootste uitdaging in sy gemeenskap ondervind het. <\/p>\nHierop antwoord hy:<\/p>\n
\u201cLeerders wat uit moeilike huislike omstandighede kom het altyd \u2019n agterstand en is \u2019n groot uitdaging vir ons. Ons probeer hierdie kinders help na die beste van ons vermo\u00ebns, maar dit is nie iets wat die skool alleen kan oplos nie. As daar die ondersteuning vanaf die ouerhuise is nie, is dit moeilik. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns het baie seisoenale werkers in ons gemeenskap, dus is baie kinders se ouers buite seisoen uitstedig met werk. Dit veroorsaak dat kinders soms nie stabiliteit tuis ervaar nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cElke kind moet ten minste ba-siese benodighede soos water en elektrisiteit h\u00ea. Die realiteit is dat baie van ons kinders dit nie het nie. Behuisingskemas het in die afgelope jare van ons kinders se omstandighede verbeter, maar die nood is steeds baie groot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grootste vreugde of sukses gedurende die afgelope 43 jaar?<\/span> <\/p>\n\u201cDit was vir my \u2019n enorme voorreg om my lewe lank by hierdie skool betrokke te wees en \u2019n groter voorreg om aan die stuur te kon staan die afgelope paar jaar. Dit was vir my heerlik om die vooruitgang te kon sien in die skool, wat vernuwing van die geboue asook die aanbou van ekstra klaskamers insluit. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy grootste nalatenskap aan die skool is egter die leesprogram wat ek onlangs geimplimenteer het. Ons het baie kinders wat in senior grade nog sukkel om te lees, as gevolg van probleme in die grondslagfase wat dikwels spruit uit moeilike huislike omstan-dighede. Ons wil graag vir hierdie kinders \u2019n kans op \u2019n toekoms gee, en hulle kan dit nie doen sonder om te kan lees nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het dit op myself geneem om my personeel te motiveer deur uit te lig dat dit nie sal help om te kla dat die kinders nie kan lees nie. Ons sou self die probleem moes oplos, anders sou daar nooit verandering of vooruitgang vir hulle wees nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Raad aan voornemende onderwysers? <\/p>\n
\u201cJy moet ten alle tye \u2019n positiewe gesindheid h\u00ea, anders gaan jou werk nie vir jou lekker wees nie. Sien probleme as uitdagings en pas al jou vaardighede toe om hulle te oorkom. Wees elke dag bereid om te leer. Onderwysers moet altyd daarna streef om hulself te ontwikkel. Jy kan nie op \u2019n eiland wees nie – skakeling tussen onderwysers is belangrik, asook skakeling tussen onderwysers en ouers.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
