Dirk holds cool clusters

I am truely amazed at how fruitful and productive the support group clusters of Mr Dirk Jordaan’s (Bonnievale HS) are! The teachers are so positive to share their experience within the support group context that it not only benefits the preparation for moderation, but also directly helps teachers in the classroom.

My mouth hung open when I was shown well-designed PowerPoint presentations [in pure AFRIKAANS] by Ms Thea Pieterse (Montagu HS) teaching the children MS Access!..

Ask me, how did they get it right to make their clusters intriguing enough for a whole bunch of teachers from Swellendam to come over from the now Overberg district to attend (at their own cost)?.. (Ms Helga Kellies from Swellendam SS had some lesson templates to present to her Cape Winelands colleagues at a cluster in Bonnievale).

It is the dedication of colleagues that face the same challenges as the rest that makes a difference. They are finding it possible to be masters of their Art. Thanks, guys. I am enawed.
