Ouers van St. Helenabaai is nou moeg gewag vir die bou van ‘n ho\u00ebrskool vir die dorp.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Vreedsame optog is Saterdag 15\u2009Maart gehou in ‘n poging om hul stemme te laat hoor en ‘n griefskrif is aan die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement (WKOD) oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die griefskrif is deur Heather van Ster, die hoofdirekteur van die WKOD, ontvang. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit volg nadat ouers in Augustus 2024 na die Vredenburg-tak van die onderwysdepartement opgeruk en ‘n griefskrif oorhandig het in verband met die bou van ‘n nuwe ho\u00ebrskool in St.\u2009Helenabaai. Ouers was later baie opgewonde toe die bou van die ho\u00ebrskool in Oktober verlede jaar bekend gemaak is en die munisipale raad by ‘n raadsvergaderinging eenparig besluit het om die ontwikkelingskostes vir die beoogde ho\u00ebrskool af te skryf, maar tot dusver is geen verdere vordering gemaak nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die raadslid Thyrone Williams sloer die versoek vir ‘n ho\u00ebrskool al vir die afgelope 20 jaar. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“\u2009’n Ho\u00ebrskool in die dorp is noodsaaklik \u2013 nie net vir Laingville nie, maar vir die hele St. Helenabaai. Sowat 14 busse ry daagliks uit St.\u2009Helenabaai na Vredenburg teen ‘n stewige R13,8\u2009miljoen per jaar. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Daarbenewens word ons kinders by ho\u00ebrskole in Vredenburg gedreig en selfs geboelie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons sit met vier prim\u00eare skole in St.\u2009Helenabaai en nie een ho\u00ebrskool nie.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams s\u00ea die department het al sedert 2014 bevestig dat ‘n ho\u00ebrskool wel in St. Helenabaai gebou gaan word, maar niks is al gedoen nie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My persoonlike mening is dat dit politiek is en dat ons kinders swaarkry in die proses. Ek sal graag wou sien dat hulle al met die ho\u00ebrskool begin. Soos in die memorandum geskryf staan, voel die gemeenskap genoeg is genoeg en s\u00ea hulle sal tot aksie oorgaan sou daar nie gehoor gegee word aan die eise nie.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Inwoner, Laetitia Isaacs, meen die bou van ‘n ho\u00ebrskool in die dorp is nie net belangrik vir die kinders nie, maar ook vir die gemoedsrus van plaaslike ouers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaacs s\u00ea as ouers bekommer hulle hul elke dag oor die veiligheid van hul kinders en dat soveel dinge gepaard gaan met wat die skool vir die gemeenskap sal beteken. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die feit dat die proses sloer, ontstel my baie. Dit wys dat die belange van ons kinders in St.\u2009Helenabaai glad nie ter harte geneem word nie en glad nie ‘n belangrikheid [is] nie.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die WKOD het tot Vrydag 21\u2009Maart om op die griefskrif te reageer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
