Sewe leerders van Wellington is onlangs met die gesogte Winnie-Rust prys bekroon omdat hulle, ten spyte van vele uitdagings en moeilike en negatiewe omstandighede, steeds skitterend presteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie eerbewys is \u2019n huldeblyk aan die geliefde Wellingtonner en bekroonde skrywer, Winnie Rust, wat 11 Mei 2016 vermoor is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christine Siebrits, \u2019n komiteelid, het ges\u00ea nadat die komitee die motiverings oor die leerders gelees het, kon hulle nie op een enkele wenner besluit nie omdat al sewe hierdie leerders almal verdienstelik vir die prys in aanmer\u00adking kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Machonett Pietersen<\/b>, \u2019n graad 10-leerder aan Wellington Sekond\u00ear, het haar wenprys verdien vir haar akademiese prestasies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten spyte daarvan dat sy onder meer finansieel sukkel om kop bo water te hou, is sy in 2016 as die hoofmeisie en duxleerder van St Albans Prim\u00ear aangewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017 was sy die lid van die verteenwoordigende raad van leerders. In graad 8 by Ho\u00ebrskool Wellington ontvang sy die AKTV-boekprys asook die wenprys as topleerder met ses diplomas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanjaar het sy besluit om vir haar \u2019n groter uitdaging te stel en ekstra vakke geneem. Sy is ook \u2019n lid van die junior stadsraad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar leuse is: \u201cMoet nooit laat sukses jou onbeskof en hoogmoedig maak nie en moet nooit toelaat dat mismoe\u00addigheid jou hart breek nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n wenner van Ho\u00ebrskool Wellington, Aschke Cloete<\/b>, het ook \u2019n indrukwekkende lys prestasies ten spyte van die moeilike omstandighede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Cloete-gesin woon op Aschka se ouma se erf en haar ma, wat die enigste broodwinner is, werk slegs een dag per week as huishulp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In graad 7 was sy die onderhoofmeisie asook die duxleerder by Wellington Prim\u00ear. In graad 8 is sy as die topleer\u00adder in haar graad aangewys. En in graad 9 het sy as \u2019n lid op die verteenwoordigende raad van leerders by die skool gedien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTen spyte van moeilike omstandig\u00adhede doen Aschke haar bes en presteer sy in akademie. Sy word beskryf as \u2019n sonstraalkind en laat nooit blyk dat daar probleme is nie,\u201d vertel Siebrits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n wenner uit die geledere van Ho\u00ebrskool Wellington, Kaylin Leppan<\/b>, \u2019n graad 9-leerder, het voorheen aan die nasionale wetenskap-olimpiade deelgeneem en \u2019n tweede plek in die graad 8-tot-10-afdeling behaal. Sy het nou ook \u2019n boek begin skryf wat sy hoop om eendag te publiseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kaylin is \u2019n lid van haar kerklike jeuggroep wat probeer om kinders wat in probleemgebiede woon, te beskerm en met hulle te ondersteun. Haar ouers is geskei en lupus is by haar ma gediagnoseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n wenner, Sihle Mpini<\/b>, ook van Ho\u00ebrskool Wellington, ly aan lupus, maar is \u2019n inspirasie vir talle mense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siebrits het in haar toespraak ges\u00ea as gevolg van Sihle se siekte gaan sy onder geweldige pyn gebuk en sy is gedeeltelik verlam, maar ten spyte hiervan het sy daarin geslaag om haar matriekjaar te bereik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSihle verloor baie skoolwerk omdat sy dikwels in die hospitaal opgeneem moet word. Sy is intelligent en werk hard om verlore skoolwerk in te haal,\u201d s\u00ea Siebrits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy droom daarvan om n\u00e1 skool aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch te gaan studeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As gevolg van Mariana Cedras <\/b>se intellektuele gestremdheid is sy ook as \u2019n wenner aangewys. Sy kon nie aanpas in hoofstroom-onderwys nie en het in 2016 as leerder by die nuutgestigte Wellington-vaardigheidskool ingeskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMariana toon sterk leierseienskappe en is sedert 2016 hoofmeisie van haar skool. Sy word groot in \u2019n gebied waar drankmisbruik algemeen voorkom en woon dus by haar ouma,\u201d s\u00ea Siebrits. Mariana vaar goed in sport, veral netbal en atletiek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy is op haar gemak wanneer sy toesprake voor belangrike mense moet lewer,\u201d vertel Siebrits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Britney Jasper<\/b>, \u2019n wenner van Bergrivier Sekond\u00ear, is in graad 12 en is een van die skool se toppresteerders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy is vasberade, altyd positief en het \u2019n borrelende persoonlikheid,\u201d s\u00ea Siebrits. Britney se aanvanklike moeilike omstandighede het haar gemotiveer om haar bes te doen om te presteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBehalwe vir haar goeie akademiese prestasies probeer Britney ook om haar dwelmverslaafde broer te help en te motiveer,\u201d s\u00ea Siebrits. \u201cBritney woon tans by haar kerkleraar sodat sy haar matriek kan voltooi.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n leerder van Bergrivier Sekond\u00ear, Nicolene Pietersen<\/b>, het as baba tweemaal breinvliesontsteking (meningitis) opgedoen, wat haar met lae spiertonus gestremd gelaat het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siebrits vertel: \u201cSy stap moeilik en kan nie op haar eie staan nie. Nicolene het hulp nodig om te loop, sukkel om te sien en het hulp met ander basiese vaardighede nodig. Dit is dus vir haar baie moeilik om gewone take te verrig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siebrits s\u00ea Nicolene se ouers is plaaswerkers en kan nie bekostig om haar te neem om gereelde terapie te ondergaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaar ouers het gevrees sy sou nie in die hoofstroomonderwys inpas nie, maar sy het almal verbaas en is vanjaar in matriek en is vasberade om graad 12 te slaag,\u201d verduidelik Siebrits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
