Nasionale Eerlikheidsdag. Laerskool Stulting, Humansdorp, het 30 April Nasionale Eerlikheidsdag gevier. Laerskool Stulting het op graad 3 se waardes gefokus, naamlik, eerlikheid. Dit het saamgeval met Nasionale Eerlikheidsdag wêreldwyd.

Die leerders weet wat goeie waardes is, en is nie skaam om dit uit te leef nie.

Geduld, liefde, verdraagsaamheid, eerlikheid, vreugde, integriteit, respek, deursettingsvermoë en rekenskap vorm immers deel van die fondasie van Stulting-leerders.

We encounter lies, whether direct or through omission, every day. Take a break from the deception by practising radical honesty on 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲/Nasionale Eerlikheidsdag.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 exists to encourage people from every walk of life and especially those who are powerful and in charge, to try being honest with their constituents and customers.

The concept for the day is simple: It’s a day to ask direct questions without ulterior motives and expect answers of occasionally brutal honesty. While these situations can create difficult relations between people sometimes, it’s the first step on the road to utterly healing relational wounds and creating clear communication that allows for proper understanding.

In fact, failing to be honest, whether with family, in relationships, in politics, or even in historical education has led to so many misunderstandings that all of society can be affected by them.

When people speak with their friends and partners, they often choose to withhold certain words, not because they aren’t true, but because they can’t see past the hurt they’ll cause to the boils they lance by no longer being held within.

As the month of April begins with April Fools’ Day, where tricks and dishonesty reign supreme, the end of the month brings the opportunity to redeem those white lies and enjoy 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲/Nasionale Eerlikheidsdag

𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 is healthy. Telling the truth, as opposed to a lie, can significantly improve a person’s mental and emotional health.

𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 leads to better relationships. 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 creates trust, which means that people can rest and feel safe in relationships. 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 is simple.

As mentioned, each grade at Stulting is given a specific value and colour to teach, with the hope that the children will model all these values learnt at school throughout their lives. Honesty/Eerlikheid is our Grade 3’s value and pink is the colour and what fun they had celebrating this day as an entire school.

In 𝟏 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝟑:𝟏𝟖 staan, “Liewe kinders, ons liefde moenie net woorde en lippetaal wees nie, maar moet met die daad bewys word en dan in opregtheid.”

Mag die leerders die waardes wat hulle by die skool leer, voluit en vir altyd in hul lewens uitleef.
