Veertig jaar en nege maande gelede het Deon Wolmarans, skoolhoof van Bergsig Skool, in di\u00e9 skool op Uitenhage se tegniese werkswinkels as tydelike onderwyser ingestap. Op Woensdag, 30 September, stap hy as afgetredene uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het goeie jare beleef en met baie genade van Bo was ek bevoorreg om hier by Bergsig my onderwysloopbaan te kon begin, asook om dit hier te voltooi,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolmarans is passievol oor Bergsig en die goeie gees wat heers tussen die onderwysers en leerders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBergsig is nie \u2019n skool eenkant op \u2019n eiland nie. Dis \u2019n skool in die gemeenskap vir die gemeenskap. \u2019n Skool wat sy gemeenskap dien deur die baie tegniese ambagslui wat hier opgelewer word. As al die spesiale skole se leerders aan die nywerhede van Suid-Afrika onttrek word, sal die land met \u2019n groot probleem sit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolmarans s\u00ea Bergsig het ambagslui opgelewer wat vandag regoor die w\u00eareld versprei is en hul plek volwaardig in hul onderskeie beroepe volstaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is \u2019n skool wat geleenthede aan sy leerlinge bied. In Bergsig se bestaan van 62 jaar het dit \u2019n toekoms aan ongeveer 5 300 leerlinge gebied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bergsig Skool het in 1958 sy deure geopen met 26 leerders, agt onderwysers en vyf tegniese vakke vir seuns en drie vir meisies. Vanjaar is daar 651 leerlinge, 47 onderwysposte en 13 tegniese vakke. Wolmarans s\u00ea hy hou van die onmoontlike. \u201cDaar is praters en doeners. Ek is \u2019n doener wat groot droom en soveel van my groot drome het al waar geword.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deon Wolmarans<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Een van sy grootste passies, waaraan hy ook baie hard gewerk het, was dat Bergsig sy leerders dieselfde geleenthede moet bied as hul maats in enige ander skool. \u201cD\u00edt sodat hulle ook in die toekoms as grootmense met goeie nostalgie gaan terugkyk na hul skoolloopbaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tans beweeg van Bergsig se leerders terug na hoofstroomskole, waar hulle in die FET-baan (graad 10-12) sukses behaal en hul graad 12 eksamens afl\u00ea. \u201cDie inklusiewe skoolbeleid maak dit wel moontlik,\u201d s\u00ea Wolmarans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het verskeie hoogtepunte oor die bietjie meer as vier dekades by Bergsig geniet, onder meer dat die skool se netbalspan vir twee agtereenvolgende jare die beste LSEN skolespan in Suid-Afrika was; die 11 rugbyspelers wat oor die jare in die SA LSEN skolespanne opgeneem is en \u2018n leerder wat vir die SA kultuurspan gekies is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stigtingsdae was \u2019n ander hoogtepunt, waar-tydens oudleerlinge, wat suksesvol in die samelewing of sakew\u00eareld staan, genooi is om as sprekers die leerders te motiveer om altyd na hul persoonlike beste te strewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die jaarlikse verkope van leerders se hande-werk aan die publiek sorg ook altyd vir groot opwinding \u00e9n trots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die uitbreiding van die skool se fasiliteite, geboue, personeelgetalle, leerlinggetalle en vakrigtings, is vir Wolmarans \u2019n groot riem onder die hart. Een van sy laaste projekte, waarvan die planne reeds opgetrek is en teen sy kantoormuur pronk, is di\u00e9 van \u2018n nuwe tegniese vleuel op die Bergsig-kampus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is in die pyplyn, ek weet net nie hoe lank die pyplyn is nie. Maar die dag as di\u00e9 uitbreiding gebeur, sal Bergsig die grootste spesiale skool in Suid-Afrika wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is dankbaar vir die geleentheid wat my gegun is om as hoof van di\u00e9 besondere skool, ook die gemeenskap te kon dien. Daarom groet ek graag met Bergsig se leuse, Sapiens Prospisit<\/span> \u2026 die wyse persoon kyk vorentoe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
