N\u00e1 drie maande is die nuwe hoof van die Kimberley Girls\u2019 High School, die Diamantstad se oudste meisieskool, tuis en gaan sy \u201cbly totdat sy eendag aftree\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 meen Safiyia Stanfley (49), wat vanjaar as die hoof aangestel is by die skool, wat in 1887 gestig is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stanfley, wat uitgebreide ondervinding in die onderwysstelsel het, het die afgelope twee en \u2019n half jaar by die Kimberley Boys\u2019 High School skoolgehou, waar sy Afrikaans eerste addisionele taal gegee het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSeuns en meisies verskil baie. Seuns is meer voortvarend as meisies, wat sagter is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGelukkig het ek \u2019n seun en \u2019n dogter, ek weet hoe hul kop werk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy voel tuis in die groot prinsipaalkantoor met sy hemelho\u00eb plafonne en lang vensters waardeur die lig val. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gebou, \u2019n nasionale monument, is deur die bekende argitek Daniel Greatbatch ontwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stanfley, wat haar onderwysgraad in 1994 aan die Perseverance-onderwyskollege behaal het, het haar loopbaan as lektor aan die destydse kollege vir tegniese en beroepsonderwys en -opleiding (TVET) begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later jare het sy haar onderwyskennis ingespan toe sy \u2019n DA-LW en -woordvoerder van onderwys was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn 2019 het ek bedank. Dit was tyd vir iets nuuts, maar eers het ek gehaltetyd saam met my gesin bestee, omdat ek as wetgewerlid baie gereis het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTeen 2020 was ek gereed om te begin werk, maar toe slaan die pandemie toe. Omdat baie ouer onderwysers of diegene met onderliggende siektes nie by die skoolgebou mag wees nie, is ek tydelik by Kimberley Boys\u2019 High School aangestel. Dit was wonderlik om weer in die onderwys betrokke te wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy was \u2019n beheerliggaamlid (SBL) aan die Ho\u00ebr Tegniese Skool Kimberley en Ho\u00ebrskool Noord-Kaap, waar sy waardevolle ervaring opgedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk beywer my ook daarvoor om goeie samewerking met die SBL te bewerkstellig.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In haar onderhoud vir die betrekking as hoof het sy vir die keurpaneel ges\u00ea sy gaan nie prosesse of stelsels verander nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk gaan die kultuur en mense leer ken, sodat almal saamwerk om die skool van krag tot krag te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie pos is \u2019n uitdaging omdat ek nog nie hier skoolgehou het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk gee Afrikaans addisionele taal vir die gr. 8\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek self klasgee, verstaan ek die uitdagings van leerlinge en onderwysers soveel beter en is dit makliker om saam met die span oplossings te bedink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het nog \u201c \u2019n berg om te klim\u201d, maar glo teen volgende jaar is sy heeltemal ingeburger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie skool het \u2019n wonderlike bestuurspan wat my lei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool het verlede jaar nie \u2019n 100%-slaagsyfer in die nasionale seniorsertifikaateksamen behaal nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het drie druipelinge gehad. Die pandemie het \u2019n rol gespeel. Leerlinge moes by die huis sit en leer en op hul eie die werk probeer verstaan. Leerlinge neem ook nie altyd die regte vakke wat by hul loopbaankeuse pas nie. Jy het nie wiskunde nodig om regte te studeer nie. Ons praat met ouers oor hul kinders se loopbaankeuses en vakkeuse wat dit ondersteun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stanfley s\u00ea hulle werk hard om vanjaar \u2019n 100%-slaagsyfer in die nasionale seniorsertifikaateksamen te behaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het intervensieklasse, en moedig leerlinge aan om ook van aanlyn klasse gebruik te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy begryp dalk beter as iemand anders die vakinhoud op \u2019n ander manier verduidelik. Meer beraders word ook betrek om leerlinge by te staan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy wetgewerondervinding kom goed te pas. Ek stel ander vrae as die res van die personeel, en saam bedink ons nuwe maniere om probleme beter of selfs goedkoper op te los. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het die vrymoedigheid om departemente soos di\u00e9 van gesondheid of maatskaplike ontwikkeling vir hulp in te roep.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is verheug dat die skoolkoshuis opgeknap word, waarna die skool se dakke en plafonne reggemaak word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie tennis- en netbalbane gaan later na die sportterrein verskuif sodat nuwe klaskamers gebou kan word.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
