Dit was goed om in Oktober weer ‘n Semper te sien verskyn, want as ‘ n maatstaf vir kritieke denke onder die opkomende generasies het hy eintlik nie ‘n gelyke nie. Besorgdheid oor biodiversiteit, die impak van rekenaarspeletjies en nog baie meer word onthul.
In die jongste uitgawe sien ons weemoed by die Klas van 2024 wat moet tot siens sê. Gelukkig kon hulle dit op ‘n glorieryke manier doen en met trots die skoolterrein verlaat.
Dit lyk of die oupas goeie invloed het op hul kleinkinders wat musieksmaak betref. Onder die liedjies in die repertoire van die PRG Senior Band is die BeeGees se Staying Alive. Watter groot treffer was hul musiek en John Travolta se danspassies nie in die laat sewentigs nie. Daar is ook talle ander lekker ou liedjies wat dit die moeite werd gaan maak om hulle te ondersteun as hulle naby jou optree.
As jy gewonder het wat vanjaar se matrieks aanstaande jaar gaan doen, sal jy ook die antwoord in hierdie uitgawe vind. Dat sowat 70 persent Maties wil word, is seker nie verrassend nie, maar dalk die rigting waarin hulle wil studeer.
Kom meer te wete oor Ben-Jason Dixon (2016), PRG se 56ste Springbok, veral oor wanneer die senuwees die ergste begin knaag voor jou eerste toets.
Die nuwe hoofseun, Simeon Rudolph, en onderhoofseuns, Altus Rabe en Liam de Silva, word ook uitgevra oor ander meer wat ‘n suksesvolle jaar vir hulle sal behels.
Dit en veel meer wag op lesers as hulle hier klik.
Semper: A Good Measure of How the Next Generation Thinks
It was great to see a new edition of Semper appear again in October. As a measure of critical thinking among the coming generations, it doesn’t actually have an equal. This edition reveals concerns about biodiversity, the impact of computer games, and much more.
In the latest edition, we witness the melancholy of the Class of 2024 as they bid farewell. Fortunately, they were able to do so gloriously and leave the school grounds with pride.
Grandfathers seem to have a good influence on their grandchildren when it comes to musical tastes. Among the songs in the repertoire of the PRG Senior Band is the Bee Gees’ “Staying Alive”. What a huge hit their music and John Travolta’s dance moves were in the late seventies. There are also numerous other classic hits that make it worth supporting them if they perform near you.
If you were wondering what this year’s matrics will do next year, you’ll find the answer in this issue. While it might not be surprising that about 70 percent want to become Maties, the directions in which they want to study might be.
Also, find out more about Ben-Jason Dixon (2016), PRG’s 56th Springbok, especially about when the nerves start to gnaw at their worst before your first Test.
The new head boy, Simeon Rudolph, and vice-head boys, Altus Rabe and Liam de Silva, share their thoughts on what will make their year successful.
This and much more await readers. Click here to read the full edition.
