Laerskool Sedgefield is ‘n Dubbelmedium openbare Christelike skool, wat daarna streef om op ‘n holistiese manier kwaliteit onderrig en ontwikkeling aan leerders te verskaf.
Dit moet bereik word deur :
It is here in the heart of the Garden Route, where the fish eagles soar under clear blue skies, fresh air and rolling beaches, that Sedgefield Primary affords each learner the opportunity to spread their wings towards becoming an independent, well-balanced, bilingual learner, with healthy human relations and positive values that can make a difference not only in our school, but in our community and country.
Ons waardes is ons trots. Hier praat ons nie net oor ons waardes nie, maar ons leef dit elke dag. Sodoende verseker ons kwaliteit onderrig en gelyke geleenthede vir elkeen van ons leerders.
Respect for yourself, the rules of our school, our teachers, other learners, our parents and each individual that we encounter, is a direct reflection of the education that our learners receive, not only at school but also at home.
Liefde vir ons medemens, met die wete dat ons optrede, besluite en dade ‘n direkte impak het op ons onderwysers, skoolvriende, ouers en die gemeenskap.
We are Honest with others and with ourselves; even if the truth hurts. We admit our mistakes, apologise, learn from it, and grow to become that individual that makes a difference.
Trots, selftrots, trots op ons voorkoms, ons skoolwerk, ons sport en kultuur, trots daarop om ‘n Sedgie te wees.
Each of our learners were created in their own unique way. It is therefore the responsibility of each one of us to help them to discover their talents and to develop it.
Met ‘n omgee, geesdriftige, toegewyde en goed opgeleide personeel, word ons leerders op akademiese, sport en kultuurgebied begelei en die pad aangewys om hulle voor te berei, nie net vir die hoërskool nie maar ook vir die lewe daarna.
Technology contributes to creative and interesting lessons in class and therefore all classes are equipped with a data projector and internet. We also have a computer room with a dedicated teacher as well as a computer room for research.
Ons goed versorgde geboue, ‘n pragtige, boomryke en oop terrein skep ‘n veilige “plattelandse“ omgewing waar ons leerders na hartelus kan rondbaljaar, sport kan beoefen en gelukkig kan wees.
We believe that the success of Sedgefield Primary lies in the fact that we as staff, parents and learners are one big family, building a supportive, positive, friendly and respectful environment for all involved, always having the best interest of our learners at heart.
In 2014 Sedgefield Primary made the mind change to become a Value Driven School instead of the old and traditional Rule Driven School.
This was done in consultation with all the role players, SGB, parents, staff and learners.
Everybody bought in to this new vision and since then we have never looked back.
Our values are what drive change in our selves, but also in making a difference in the world by living these values every day.
Values set a standard of ethics to which we interact with each other …
At Sedgefield Primary we are extremely proud of our learners behavior and discipline as a direct result of our values system.
As Sedgies glo ons in en is ons trots op ons skool se vier kernwaardes, naamlik:
Ons glo dat ‘n ware Sedgie oor hierdie eienskappe moet beskik en daarom streef ons daarna om gereeld aandag aan die ontwikkeling van die waardes te gee.
Ons ken aan elke maand van die jaar ‘n waarde toe. Tydens daardie maand gaan ons klem lê op ‘n spesifieke waarde en dit aanspreek in die klasse en tydens saalboodskappe. Ons sal ook ‘n waardedag in die maand hê.
Daar sal ook ‘n “logo” van elke waarde op ons omsendbriewe aangebring word vir addisionele bewusmaking onder ouers en leerders. Ons sal ook ons waardes maandeliks op ons Facebookblad plaas.
Die waardes waarop ons vanjaar gaan fokus, is:
Liefde / Love
Respek / Respect
Trots / Pride
Eerlikheid / Honesty
Lojaliteit / Loyalty
Vriendelikheid / Friendliness
Dankbaarheid / Appreciation
Verantwoordelikheid / Responsibility
Omgee / Care
Nederigheid / Humbleness
Integriteit / Integrity
Spanwerk / Teamwork
Ons wil u vra om ons in hierdie inisiatief te ondersteun en u kinders aan te moedig om daagliks hierdie waardes te beoefen sodat dit deel word van hul karakter.
Please assist and support us.
Give Your Child Your Best
Rules Are Meant To Serve Us And Can Be Changed When It Doesn’t Serve Us.
Values Are Meant To Rule Us, Even When No One Is Watching.
Rules only serve a purpose until it doesn’t serve the person any longer. This is true for each and every rule you can think of – even laws of countries. This is why laws change or school rules are adjusted. If the rule doesn’t serve anyone, the rule has become obsolete. Let me give you another example so that you can clearly see how this works.
If you have a rule in the home that bedtime is at eight o’clock at night, the rule will change as the child grows older. Rules serve a definite purpose in our homes and children will without a doubt challenge our rules whenever possible.
The only way to make sure your child doesn’t lie or steal or make continuous wrong choices, is to not teach it as rules, but as values. Values are much stronger than rules. We have control over the rules in our homes, but the opposite is true for values:
The only problem is, you can’t raise kids with strong values
if you don’t have strong values yourself.
If loving and being kind to people is a rule, you might still swear at, gossip or badmouth people and your child will see this. When it’s a value your child will see how you handle difficult situations involving people really well.
When it’s just a rule to not steal, you might still brag after being handed too much change at the store. When you live by a value to not steal, you will return the money and your child will learn integrity.
When rules are broken, kids (and even adults) might feel good and that they got away with something!
When values are crossed
– when people give in to bad choices that are totally against their values – the result is normally guilt.
This could be a great way to measure whether you have taught your child a value or a rule. Does your child feel guilty for breaking a “rule” or are they upset that they got caught?
Remember, rules are controlled by the situation and can change according to our needs, but values rule us. If you raise your children on values and just use rules to help you, you will ensure that your children make great choices. Their values will rule their lives and will guide them through every decision they make.
