Sermon in a Sentence

We cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. Too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. Too seldom we choose to control what we can -- our attitude. - John Maxwell

Life is Precious

Knowing the day

i have nothing left to say
and nothing left to learn
i've done my deed
placed my seed
got nothing left to plead

my dues are paid
my life conveyed
and love cant turn around
my sight is blurred
my life defferred
yet not one can be proud

the date when love and hate collide
is the day i shall fade in peace
and me and you can both run free
beyond the point of the sacred place
where all our greatest dreams will all be faced

now its time to go run wild
before that sacred day comes round
until that time of life and death
ill have you until my last breath

Peter Rademeyer
(Grade10)

Our Newspaper Club was started by Mr Stanley Mason in 1991. At that time
Mr Mason was the Senior English 1st Language teacher. Mrs Coetser ran the club
for a short while until she immigrated to Ireland.

The aim of the club was to improve the pupils’ journalistic, public relations and
photographic skills. The Newspaper was funded by advertisements from local businesses.

Pupils were required to sell newspaper space, take relevant photographs and write
noteworthy articles.

Mr Mason was instrumental in acquiring the school’s first computer which was
used for the Newspaper Club. At that time the Newspaper was printed by a local
printing shop in Bellville.

The newspapers were sent to old-scholars regularly to keep them informed of interesting
events and activities at their Alma Mater.

Mrs Simone Coetser has taken over from Mr Mason and is doing a good job.

If you would like to place an advertisement in our Newspaper please contact Mrs Coetser
via the school’s e-mail address: admin@helderberghs.co.za
