\u201cWe can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Thornton Wilder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die aanloop tot die Derby van 2022 is bogenoemde woorde die kern van my boodskap vir hierdie besondere geleentheid. In die afgelope twee jaar het ons werklik eers besef hoe bevoorreg ons in die verlede was, nadat byna alles van ons weggeneem is. Ek sien ongelooflik uit na die uitbundige deelname van ons kinders op die sportvelde, paviljoene en om sommer net die voorreg van jonk wees te kan vier. Ek is ook baie dankbaar dat ons weer ons ouers en gemeenskap mag toelaat om die leerlinge te kom ondersteun langs die veld en vanaf die paviljoene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is dus vir my \u2018n voorreg om die hele gemeenskap uit te nooi om hierdie tradisionele dag saam met ons twee skole op Voortrekker se terrein te beleef. My wens is dat ons meedo\u00ebnloos sal kompeteer op die sportveld, maar met waardigheid en gesonde sportmangees uit die stryd sal tree. Dit is immers die roeping en opvoedingstaak van ons as onderwysers en ouers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dankie aan al die ouers, onderwysers, afrigters en leerlinge vir u betrokkenheid gedurende ure se oefening, wedstryde en vakansietoere ter voorbereiding vir die seisoen. Die passie en entoesiasme waarmee ons Voortrekkerfamilie enige iets aanpak, is aansteeklik en eie aan ons skoolkultuur. Baie dankie aan al die borge wat hierdie belangrike deel van ons kinders se ontwikkeling moontlik maak. U bydrae word opreg waardeer. Hierdie jaar vier Voortrekker sy 120ste bestaansjaar; ons kyk met nederige dankbaarheid terug oor dekades van uitnemendheid, hoogtepunte en soms ook laagtepunte. Uit hierdie terugblik besef ons dat die uitleef van ons skoolleuse \u201cNon sibi sed Patriae \u2013 nie vir myself nie, maar vir my Vaderland\u201d nou selfs nog meer relevant is as in die verlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ons is dankbaar vir die se\u00ebn en genade wat ons as skoolgemeenskap uit die Vaderhand ontvang het; daarom bou ons met groot optimisme en geloof voort op \u2018n blink toekoms. Geleenthede soos die Derby skep vir ons die platform om die lewe te vier, want dit is daar waar ons die skatte vind wat vir ons belangrik is en wat ons vorm vir die toekoms. Kom en wees deel van hierdie uitstalvenster van Bethlehem se uitnemende ho\u00ebrskoolgemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soos altyd sluit ek af met die nie-amptelike leuse van Voortrekker, naamlik:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is lekker in Voortrekker!\u201d<\/b>\n<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
