P Skoolhoof Louis Knoetze sal nie rus voordat die skool se bekende blaasorkes weer volsterkte is nie. Daarom het hy die hulp van politikus Patricia de Lille ingeroep, en sy het belowe om die saak onmiddellik verder te voer. Alhoewel daar lankal sprake is dat orkesinstrumente teruggeneem sal word nadat dit vroeër jare deur die |
AARL Boishaai wil sy orkesinstrumente van die weermag terughê, hoe gouer hoe beter.

moes instrumente ter waarde van R147 000 inboet. "Die weermag het uit die bloute laat weet hulle kom," het Knoetze gesê. "Op die oomblik wil niemand pa staan vir die besluit nie. Dit wil lyk of die opdrag deur die onderwysdepartement gegee is. Volgens die weermag word daar net opdragte uitgevoer." Met die uitfasering van kadette in 1993, is gewere en kadetuniforms aan die weermag teruggegee, maar die skool kon die instrumente vir die simfoniese blaasorkes en vir musiekopleiding hou. Boishaai het getrou inventaris gehou en die weermag het jaarliks inspeksie kom hou. Daar was nooit klagtes oor die versorging van die instrumente nie. "Die blaasorkes is die trots van die skool," het Knoetze gesê. "Hoe kan die leemtes vervang word, met een nuwe tuba reeds R33 000?" Van Boishaai staan nege trompette, drie Franse horings, twee eufoniums, een tuba, 'n simbaal en 'n bastrom nou in 'n pakhuis in Youngsfield. Orkeslede sal na ander instrumente moet verander en al die bladmusiek moet oorgetransponeer word. Leerlinge wat musiek as vak neem, moet ook inderhaas van instrument verander, in sommige gevalle na swakker maar beskikbare instrumente. "Dis 'n dringende saak. 'n Orkes moet bly oefen," het Knoetze gesê. Die orkes is bekend vir uitvoerings in kerke, by skole se orkesaande, kransleggings- en ander seremonies. "Dit sal nie dieselfde wees nie." Die saak word deur kmdr Mike Oldham van die Vloot ondersoek. Oldham is voorsitter van 'n komitee betrokke by orkesinstrumente. Volgens Knoetze is Oldham nooit ingelig oor die onlangse stappe nie. "Ons maak werk van die situasie, en ons kry simpatie van die weermag.". * The Paarl Boys' High symphonic wind band will not close down, despite the removal of musical instruments by the SANDF. |

A GROUP of 35 students in the Khanyisa programme recently received their certificates during a graduation ceremony in the Huguenot Community Hall in Paarl. This also earmarked the end of the funding partnership between Koinonia Community Centre, from where Khanyisa operates, and the Royal Netherlands Embassy, via the Youth Development Network. In 2000 Koinonia received a contract to financially assist the unemployed youth in the community. They received training including basic computer skills, business skills, life skills, educare and hairdressing. Among the guests of honour and potential stakeholders were the Departments of Labour, Education and Social Development, Huguenot College, Paarl Tourism and the Career Research and Information Centre. Parallel to the symbolic conclusion of the three year funding period with the Netherlands, new exciting opportunities await Koinonia with their newly established partnership with the Umsobomvu Youth Fund. Soon Koinonia will open their doors with the coming of the Koinonia Youth Advisory and Training Centre. Phone 862-3705 for enquiries. This facility will be located in the centre of town and will make Koinonia's services more accessible to the youth, it will enable the organisation to offer a one-stop centre geared towards empowerment. |

MORE than 6 000 learners from all over South Africa have entered for the 2003 Old Mutual CSSA Computer Olympiad which takes place tomorrow. This is about double the number of entries normally received, and entries are still pouring in. This year for the first time, they have opened the competition to learners who do not have a computer available. The first round can now be done with only pen and paper. For the second and third rounds, learners will have to use a computer. |
