Sy het \u2019n hart van goud en is toegewyd aan haar skool, haar leerlinge en haar werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juffrou Helen\u00e9 Rossouw van Welkom-Gimnasium (Gimmies) is die toonbeeld van die Solidari\u00adteit- nasionale ho\u00ebrskoolonderwyser van die jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie eerbewys is \u2019n geweldige eer en \u2019n bevestiging van my lewenswerk,\u201d s\u00ea Rossouw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar opwindende reis in die verwerwing van di\u00e9 gesogte, landwye eerbetoon het begin toe een van haar matriek-leerlinge, Karla Coetzer, haar benoem het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt is gevolg deur die tweede ronde. In hierdie stadium het 168 leerlinge en onderwysers aan die skool haar benoem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het toe na die eindronde deurgedring en was onder die tien topbenoemdes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In di\u00e9 fase is Rossouw deur \u2019n nasionale paneel van onderwysspesialiste en eweknie\u00eb in haar veld beoordeel. Sy moes ook \u2019n video-opname wat aspekte van haar werk en lewe weerspie\u00ebl, vir die beoordeling beskikbaar maak. Rossouw was die enigste ho\u00ebrskoolonderwyser van die Vrystaat onder die tien topbenoemdes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die eindronde het Rossouw 699 stemme landwyd verwerf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOudleerlinge, kollegas, vriende en familie se kommentaar op Facebook het my laat besef wat ek oor my 20 jaar by Welkom-Gimnasium in die lewe van my kinders verander het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die kommentaar het gekom van leerlinge van 2003, toe sy by Welkom-Gimnasium begin het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw is die vakhoof van verbruikerstudie vir gr. 10, gr. 11 en gr. 12. Sy werk ook by die Ho\u00ebrskool Hentie Cilliers (Henties) in Virginia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk doen baie welsynwerk in my gemeenskap en ek gee ook klas in die townships. Ek is betrokke by die skool se voedselproduk en ek is ook \u2019n tuisonderrig-assessor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy grootste projek is egter die skool se jaarlikse Valentynsbal, iets waarop ek baie trots is,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKook is \u2019n groot deel van my alledaagse lewe. Vanjaar het ek al 506 uur by Gim en Henties gekook, en dan praat ek nie eens van my ander projekte en my eie huis se gekook nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw se leerlinge neem gereeld aan eksterne wedstryde deel, waarvan die grootste die jaarlikse Food Beverages Institute- (FBI) kompetisie is. Vanjaar was nege van haar leerlinge onder die tien topdeelnemers en Gimmies was algeheel tweede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het in my lewe al baie hindernisse beleef. Maar dit is di\u00e9 lewenslesse wat my gemaak het. Die lewe slaan vir jou plat, dit is hoe jy opstaan. Ek is wie ek is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw s\u00ea haar man, Gawie, is haar regterhand, haar linkerhand, haar alles. Hy ondersteun haar onvoorwaardelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is baie dankbaar vir my kollegas se ondersteuning en hulp, en dat ek al 20 jaar deel kan wees van die Gimmie-familie. Maar alles wat ek doen en wat ek regkry is deur God se genade; en as dit nie vir God was nie, sou ek nie staan waar ek nou is nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
