In Memoriam
Dit was met skok dat die personeel en leerlinge van Sarel Cilliers verneem het van die afsterwe van `n vriend, kollega en onderwyser, James Wheeler, op Augustus 12. Die vorige Vrydag was hy nog hier – met sy spesiale glimlag en ondeunde oë – maar Dinsdag was hy weg… Op sy stil manier was hy `n steunpilaar wat almal se respek afgedwing het. Nou nog, as iets verkeerd gaan met `n rekenaar of projektor, wil almal onwillekeurig sê: “Gaan vra vir James.” Hy het nooit `n skewe woord van iemand anders gesê nie. Volgens hom was dit nie sy besigheid nie. Maar praat van sy familie en sy gesig het opgehelder! Sarel Cilliers is hartseer oor die groot verlies, maar is dankbaar vir die agt jaar wat hy aan die skool verbonde was. Die skool reik uit na sy vrou, kinders en kleinkinders. Mag julle geseën wees met kosbare herinneringe.
