Onderwys in die bloed<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nDie Velddriwwer kom uit \u2019n gesin onderwysers en sy pa, Pieter, het in 1977 as skoolhoof van Eden Prim\u00ear begin. \u201cEk het my onderwysloopbaan as ongediplomeerde opvoeder met slegs matriek agter my naam in 1981 by St. Andrews Prim\u00ear in Saldanha begin. \u201cDie volgende jaar het ek my onderwysopleiding aan die Athlone-opleidingskollege in die Paarl begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy eerste betrekking was by Panorama (in 1985) en ek is later na Eden. In 1990 is ek tot departementshoof bevorder. Ses jaar later is ek as adjunkhoof aangestel,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreyden is daarna weer terug na Panorama. In sy loopbaan oor 35 jaar het hy egter besef skoolhou gaan nie net oor klasgee nie, verduidelik Dreyden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkool was vir my \u2019n baie spesiale plek om \u2019n verskil in mense se lewe te maak. Ons leerders, veral vanuit Noordkuil en Witteklip, word in die moeilikste omstandighede groot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWerkloosheid, enkelouerskap en drank- en dwelmmisbruik is aan die orde van die dag. Daarom het ons probeer om Derdew\u00eareldse omstandighede met Eerstew\u00eareldse omstandighede, norme en waardes by die skool te vervang. By die skool het ons die leerders geleer hulle is wenners ten spyte van hul agtergrond.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het daarom leerders geprys vir hul puik prestasie en hulle individueel gelukgewens. Volgens sy kollegas was Dreyden op hoogte van die gebeure by die skool en het hy elke kind in elke klas laat besef hulle is wenners, \u2019n slagspreuk wat talle oud-Pannies bybly.Lewe buite die skool<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHarde werk en passie vir die skool het egter beteken die Dreyden-gesin moes soms opsy geskuif word \u2013 iets wat hy nou van plan is om reg te stel. \u201cMy gesin is oor die jare gruwelik afgeskeep, dus sal ek nou baie meer gehaltetyd met hulle wil deurbring,\u201d s\u00ea di\u00e9 pa van drie. Gelukkig is vroulief Lavona ook \u2019n onderwyser en sy het begrip vir sy passie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Dreydens het drie seuns \u2013 Ashley (29), Graeme (26) en Matthew (14). Een van Dreyden se stokperdjies om vir die gesin te kook \u2013 iets wat hy as \u201cterapeuties\u201d beskou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy pa het my die kuns geleer om skool by die skool te los en op my huishouding te fokus wanneer ek tuis is. Daarom het ek tussen Vredenburg en terug Velddrif toe gerits, wat verdere skeiding tussen my w\u00earelde gebied het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nou sal sy dae met kerksake, gemeenskapswerk en natuurlik ontspanning met die familie gevul word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weslander<\/i> verneem die oudskoolhoof hou van tuinmaak waarvoor hy nou meer tyd sal h\u00ea.Lesse geleer<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnderwys is my passie en ek was bevoorreg om dit voluit te kon leef,\u201d s\u00ea Dreyden. Sy beroep het hom ook geleer dit is belangrik om te weet wat sy kragpunte sowel as tekortkominge is. \u201cJy moet \u2019n mens van ho\u00eb integriteit wees, wat vir my beteken what you see is what you get<\/i>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mense praat in plattaal van \u2019n mens van inbors en ten slotte is harde werk, toewyding en gehalte die geurmiddels van die wenresep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Dennis Malgas, oud-onderwyser wat destyds saam met Dreyden by \u2019n onderwys-unie gewerk het, was Dreyden \u201c\u2019n jong hoof\u201d maar het hom goed van sy taak gekwyt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor Dreyden se bestuurstyl s\u00ea die onderwyseres Hester Nathan, Dreyden het vele geleenthede vir ander geskep. \u201cHy het so baie moontlikhede vir die personeel sowel as die kinders geskep. Kultuur- en sportprestasies deur leerders het die lig gesien omdat hy dit aangehelp het. Hy het ook dinge soos die skoolkoerant van stapel gestuur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreyden meen egter die beste nalatenskap wat hy kan h\u00ea is sy oud-leerders. \u201cMy leerders weet wat vir my die grootste beloning sal wees, is wanneer ek eendag in die hospitaal kom en Pannies as die dokters en verple\u00ebrs raakloop. Prokureurs en advokate moet uit ons skool kom; so ook akteurs en rekenmeesters \u2013 dan het ons gewen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDan weet ek dat die wenkultuur wat ons wou skep, vrugte dra.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
