Om die pos as waarnemende skoolhoof by die Laerskool Saldanha vol te staan, is vir Melvin Edwards \u2019n absolute eer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwards het di\u00e9 nuwe rol in Januarie vanjaar n\u00e1 die aftrede van JC Carstens, wat 41 jaar in die onderwys gedien het, oorgeneem. Edwards is sedert 2000 by die Laerskool Saldanha. Hy het sy Ho\u00ebr Onderwysdiploma in praktiese spesialisering met wiskunde en wetenskap as hoofvakke by Hewat Onderwyskollege verwerf. Verder het hy \u2019n sertifikaat in gevorderde onderwysbestuur wat hy aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch verwerf het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwards vertel dat hy sy loopbaan as \u2019n LSEN-onderwyser by Wingfield Prim\u00ear begin het. \u201cMy eerste skool aan die Weskus was Noordhoek Prim\u00ear, onder Avril Daniels. Van daar is ek na Steenberg\u2019s Cove Prim\u00ear, waar hierdie Cape Flats-klong vir die eerste keer in sy lewe \u2019n skool met vyf personeellede ervaar het. Hier was baie van die leerders weg n\u00e1 eerste pouse as die vis geloop het. Dan gaan vlek die mense, groot en klein, vis vir ekstra of enigste inkomste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met sy aanstelling by die Laerskool Saldanha, s\u00ea Edwards, het die skool reeds \u2019n toon gestel vir transformasie en integrasie. Destyds was die opvoeders en die hoof juis mense met visie en mense wat die nuwe norm met ope arms ontvang het. Hy is in 2005 as departementshoof aangestel en in 2009 as adjunkhoof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes in my laasgenoemde rol maar baie knoue en houe vat as gevolg van my posisie as dissipline-hoof, maar ek het dit gevat omdat ek die skool tot die beste van my vermo\u00eb vir almal wou veilig hou en wou seker maak die groot meerderheid van ons leerders geniet die skoolervaring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In sy rol as waarnemende skoolhoof sien Edwards daarna uit om die goeie strukture wat reeds bestaan, verder te versterk en met die hulp van die bestuurspan \u2019n paar nuwe strukture in te stel, wat die skool na die volgende vlak uitnemendheid kan help neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy visie is om \u2019n skool in te rig waar almal tuis en welkom voel, maar ook \u2019n skool waarna die gemeenskap kan verwys as \u2018ons skool\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy boodskap aan leerders, personeel en ouers is dat alle rolspelers in die skool uit een mond moet praat en almal moet op dieselfde bladsy wees. \u201cOns moet \u2019n gemeenskaplike doel en visie vir die skool h\u00ea \u2013 ons moenie tevrede wees met net \u2018gemiddeld\u2019 nie; ons moet streef na uitnemendheid.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
