Ministerial special awards
The WCED is aware that every year there are numerous candidates who achieve excellent academic results in the face of tremendous hardship, ill health and personal obstacles.
We are struck by the courage and fortitude displayed by many learners and families in achieving monumental goals.
This year Minister Schäfer wishes to recognize two learners who exemplify the exceptional courage and determination shown by many, many of whom are not known to us, in achieving their success.
The following Minister's Special Awards are presented:
For exceptional academic achievement and inspirational fortitude despite huge personal challenges./Vir buitengewone akademiese prestasie en inspirerende vasberadenheid ten spyte van groot persoonlike uitdagings.
- Our first candidate is a young man who has faced and overcome extreme hardship. He has grown up and lives in an area where violence, gangsterism and drugs are prevalent and the death of a close friend nearly derailed him. He was arrested for possession of drugs and his father told him that he would never get anywhere or pass matric.
Met die ondersteuning en aanmoediging van sy skoolhoof en onderwysers het hy besluit om skouer aan die wiel te sit. Hy het die realiteite van sy omgewingsfaktore en uiterste swak omstandighede oorkom en, te midde van geweld en dwelms wat hom vasgevang het, het hy vasbeslote besluit om hard te werk om 'n sukses van sy lewe te maak, eerder as om toe te laat dat sy omstandighede hom verswelg,
Despite these trying conditions, he worked hard and with determination, once he decided to go for it and passed the National Senior Certificate with 2 C and 5 D-symbols and obtained access to Bachelor's degree study opportunity at a Higher Education institution.
The first Special Minister's Award is presented to a candidate from Scottsdene Secondary School in Kraaifontein:
Masolino Willemse
- Ons tweede kandidaat is 'n jong man wat van jongs af leerprobleme ondervind het en hy is op 3½ jarige ouderdom gediagnoseer as akademies onopvoedbaar. Hy is as 4-jarige ingeskryf in die Paarlskool vir Serebraal- en Spesifieke Leergestremdes in Brackenfell. Baie harde werk, onophoudelike ondersteuning van sy ouers en die hoogs-professionele ondersteuning van die personeel in die gespesialiseerde terrapeutiese- en onderrigmilieu van hierdie spesiale skool, het daartoe gelei dat daar besluit is om hom die geleentheid te bied in hoofstroomonderwys. Hy is ingeskryf by die Hoërskool Labori in die Paarl. Daar het hy onder die leiding en die motivering van die personeel, en deur ongelooflike toewyding, harde werk en deursettingsvermoë uiteindelik daarin geslaag om vanjaar met 3 B-, 2 C- en 'n D-simbool die NSS te slaag met toegang tot B-graad studies aan 'n Hoër Onderwysinrigting.
Die tweede Spesiale Ministeriële Toekenning gaan aan 'n kandidaat van die Hoërskool Labori in die Paarl:
Nic-Strauss le Roux
