op hierdie bladsye ‘n beeld van dit wat ons die afgelope jaar bereik het, kry.

 Ons is trots op die harde werk wat hierin vergestalt word en weet dat dit die moeite werd was.

Werksetiek en die doel van werk word akkuraat beskryf in die volgende woorde:

“Die mens is bedoel om te werk, nie om leeg te lê nie.

Arbeid maak van die barbaar ‘n mens; doelgerigte arbeid maak van hom ‘n beskaafde mens

wat begryp dat hy deur sy werk sy kontrak met die lewe uitvoer:

om dié stukkie van die aarde wat aan hom toevertrou is,

‘n beter plek na te laat as wat hy dit gevind het.”

 – Gerhard Beukes

In an age when so much emphasis is placed on rights and compensation,

 coupled with an “immediate gratification syndrome”,

a school should take care to ensure that the significance of honest

work is ingrained in the young generation.

We should always remember that we can never make a withdrawal from the bank of life

 without first making a deposit.

May the virtue of a sound work ethic always be remembered and cherished

in our endeavors to better ourselves and our circumstances.   

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,

but rather we have those because we have acted rightly.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.”
