Hoofseun Hoërskool Punt. In ons reeks oor skole se hoofleiers vir volgende jaar, gesels Schools That Rock met FJ Bezuidenhout. FJ, Hoofseun van Hoërskool Punt vir 2023, vertel ons meer van homself en sy leierskap.
“Ek is afkomstig van Hartenbos. Dit is die beste dorp in Suid-Afrika. Laerskool Hartenbos is waar ek my primêre opvoeding ontvang het. Daar het ek al my leiers-eienskappe ontwikkel, want ek was as onderhoofseun aangewys.
My persoonlike doelwitte vir 2023 is om weer die Dux-leerling toekenning te ontvang. Ek wil ook hê ons eerste hokkiespan moet volgende jaar die interskole wedstryd wen.
My doelwitte vir Hoërskool Punt gedurende my dienstermyn is om ’n omgewing te skep waar elke leerder gelukkig kan wees. Sodoende sal die deelname by die skool verbeter.
Die grootste uitdagings wat ek ervaar het as leerder van Hoërskool Punt, was die Covid inperking tydperk. Dit het my gehelp om my self-dissipline te ontwikkel.
Ons skool – die feite
Wat vir my die meeste uitstaan by ons skool, is beslis dat ons die skool is met die mooiste uitsig. Om pouses op die terrein rond te stap en dan die see en berge te sien, is beslis iets om te aanskou.
Die persoon na wie ek opsien vir inspirasie en mentorskap is my pa.
Indien ek myself moet voorstel as ‘n kombuis-artikel, sou ek sê ek is een van daai all-in-one-kitchen-tools. Die rede is dat ek baie diverse vaardighede het.
My vriende sal my beskryf as eerlik, betroubaar, snaaks en hardwerkend.
Ek is ‘n baie ambisieuse mens. Almal is geseën met talente en ek motiveer myself om my ideale te bereik met die gedagte dat ek nie my talente wil vermors nie.
Ek sal leerders aanraai om by Hoërskool Punt aan te sluit deur net vir hulle die feite gee. Hoërskool Punt is beslis een van die beste skole in die land.
Die vraag wie my gunsteling onderwyser is, is ’n baie moeilike vraag om te beantwoord. Al my onderwysers is briljant, maar Meneer Lance van Niekerk is my gunsteling. Hy gee ook my gunstelingvak, wiskunde, en hy is die beste in wat hy doen. Dis nie verniet dat ek hom die GOAT noem nie.
My toekoms-ideaal is om by die Universiteit van Stellenbosch my graad in Akturiele Wetenskap verwerf en dan wil ek ’n aktuaris word.”
Head Boy Point High School
In our series on schools’ Head Boys for next year, Schools That Rock talks to FJ Bezuidenhout. FJ, Head Boy of Point High School for 2023, tells us more about himself and his leadership.
“I am from Hartenbos. It is the best town in South Africa. Hartenbos Primary School is where I received my primary education. There I developed all my leadership qualities, because I was named deputy head boy.
My personal goals for 2023 are to receive the Dux Apprentice Award again. I also want our first hockey team to win the interschools game next year.
My goals for Point High School during my tenure, are to create an environment where every learner can be happy. In this way, participation at the school will also improve.
The biggest challenges I experienced as a learner of Point High School, were the Covid lockdown period. It helped me develop my self-discipline.
Our school – the facts
What stands out most to me at our school, is definitely that we are the school with the most beautiful view. Walking around the grounds and then seeing the sea and mountains, is definitely something to behold.
The person I look up to for inspiration and mentorship is my father.
If I have to present myself as a kitchen article, I’d say I’m one of those all-in-one-kitchen tools. The reason is that I have very diverse skills.
My friends would describe me as honest, reliable, funny and hardworking.
I’m a very ambitious person. Everyone is blessed with talents and I motivate myself to achieve my goals with the thought that I don’t want to waste my talents.
I would advise learners to join Point High School just by giving them the facts. Point High School is definitely one of the best schools in the country.
The question of who my favourite teacher is, is a very difficult question to answer. All my teachers are brilliant, but Mr Lance van Niekerk is my favourite. He also teaches my favourite subject, maths, and he’s the best at what he does. It’s not for nothing that I call him the GOAT.
My future goal is to obtain my degree in Actuarial Science at the Stellenbosch University and then I want to become an actuary.”
