Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is baie trots op ons drie leerders wat die skool by die WOW Spelfees se nasionale ronde in Stellenbosch verteenwoordig het.
Diana Jordaan (Graad 10), Phathu Tshikombedze (Graad 8) en Taayo Jegede (Graad 8) het die besondere geleentheid gehad om hul taalvaardigheid op nasionale vlak ten toon te stel en teen sterk deelnemers van regoor Suid-Afrika mee te ding.
Die nasionale ronde het op 3 Oktober 2026 in Stellenbosch plaasgevind en was die hoogtepunt van ’n reis wat reeds baie voorbereiding, konsentrasie en harde werk van ons deelnemers geverg het.
Diana Jordaan eindig 12de in Suid-Afrika
’n Besonderse hoogtepunt vir Hoërskool Louis Trichardt was Diana Jordaan se uitstekende 12de plek in die land.
Om tot op nasionale vlak deur te dring en daarna onder die voorste deelnemers in Suid-Afrika te eindig, is ’n prestasie waarop sy met reg trots kan wees.
Diana, ’n Graad 10-leerder, het Hoërskool Louis Trichardt met trots verteenwoordig en haar vermoë, voorbereiding en taalvaardigheid tydens die kompetisie ten toon gestel.
Baie geluk, Diana, met jou 12de plek nasionaal! Dit is ’n besondere prestasie en ’n mooi beloning vir die harde werk wat jou tot by die nasionale ronde gebring het.
Phathu en Taayo verteenwoordig Triegies op nasionale vlak
Ons is net so trots op Phathu Tshikombedze en Taayo Jegede, albei Graad 8-leerders, wat ook aan die nasionale ronde deelgeneem het.
Hoewel hulle nie hierdie keer ’n plek in die finale ranglys behaal het nie, is deelname op nasionale vlak reeds ’n groot prestasie.
Om tot by hierdie stadium van die WOW Spelfees te vorder, vereis voorbereiding, selfvertroue en die moed om jou taalvaardighede teen die beste deelnemers uit verskillende dele van die land te toets.
Phathu en Taayo het hul skool met trots verteenwoordig en waardevolle ervaring opgedoen wat hulle saam met hulle kan neem na toekomstige geleenthede.
Woorde bou ’n beter môre
Die WOW Spelfees vier veel meer as net die korrekte spelling van woorde.
Dit moedig jongmense aan om ’n liefde vir taal en lees te ontwikkel, hul woordeskat uit te brei en met selfvertroue in verskillende tale te kommunikeer.
Vir Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is dit besonders om leerders te sien wat bereid is om hul akademiese en taalvaardighede verder te ontwikkel en hulself buite die klaskamer uit te daag.
Die deelname van Diana, Phathu en Taayo is ’n pragtige voorbeeld van die waarde van voorbereiding, volharding en die bereidwilligheid om nuwe uitdagings aan te pak.
’n Trotse oomblik vir Hoërskool Louis Trichardt
Ons wil elkeen van hierdie drie leerders gelukwens met hul deelname aan die nasionale ronde.
