HEADMISTRESS’ MESSAGEEunice’s long-standing tradition of excellence is the result of staff, learners and parents collectively supporting, upholding and contributing to the myriad of activities and opportunities offered at our multi-faceted school. This commitment to the realization of every learner’s potential – be it in the classroom, on the sports field or on the stage – has ensured that Eunice, true to her name, is a place of “happy victory”.

As the Top school in Mathematics and Physical Science in the Free State (for the 12th time in 14 years), we have undoubtedly experienced “happy victory” in the field of academics. We also obtained honours in the Free State for the following subjects: Mathematical Literacy, Accounting, Afrikaans 1st Additional language, Consumer Studies, Computer Applications Technology and History.

This, however, is but one avenue where Eunice learners have had the opportunity to shine. The most recent production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Eunice’s theatre provided yet another avenue for learners to shine as they shared their talents and lived out their dreams on stage. On the sports field, the performances of our athletes have been just as brilliant, attesting to the diversity and dedication of all our stars. But Eunice isn’t only about attaining victories; it is also about giving and sharing, and the recent academic outreach projects afforded

Eunice learners the opportunity of sharing their knowledge and passion for their subjects with fellow learners from visiting schools.

Not only is it a privilege for me to be at the helm of such all-round “happy victory”, it is also an honour for me to lead a school that is synonymous with high expectations, multi-talented diversity and all-round excellence. Our victories are anchored in the echo of our founding ideals: “That our daughters may be like cornerstones,

polished after the similitude of a palace”. And as 2015 marks Eunice’s 140th celebration of excellence, we invite you to come and experience the Eunice echo. That echo is a resounding reminder to be true to our motto: Vincit qui se vincit/She conquers who conquers herself – for it is only in conquering oneself that one can conquer all things.

Crazy about calamari Calamari makes my mouth very happy. My first introduction to this delicacy occurred in the home of a childhood friend whose Greek parents prepared it for us. I’m glad I never got to see it in its raw state then, as all the ink might have put young me off and I would never have known how great calamari could be.

MAKE A STATEMENT! Easy peasy trend tips

Statement necklaces are a huge trend now, and they’re an easy way to add some flair to your basic wardrobe. A statement piece is, of course, the best

way to take an outfit from boring to bold. Even though most people think that statement necklaces

are too fancy, these items can be worn with any outfit if paired properly. When it comes to wearing statement pieces, it’s all about incorporating them

into your own style and matching them to your personality and lifestyle.

By Marilize Stemmet ӏ Cutting Edge Hair, Make-up, Image & Finishing School Consultingmarilize.cuttingedge@hotmail.comwww.facebook.com/cuttingedgemarilize

STYLING TIP #4Pair a statement necklace with

simple items like a plain tee and a pair of jeans for a more

polished look.

STYLING TIP #5Try to match the

colour of your necklace to one of the colours in your

outfit.

STYLING TIP #7Break up an all-

black outfit with a chunky piece.

STYLING TIP #6Add instant chic to a white outfit.

STYLING TIP #2Wear a bib necklace over a high-neck top so it almost looks like part of the design.

STYLING TIP #3Mix metals. Wearing gold and silver pieces together is a great

way of creating an interesting look.

STYLING TIP #1For a boho chic look, go for different chains and crystals. Necklaces can be small pieces worn together and don’t necessarily have to be big to make a statement.

From a flexible display and metal casing to an octa-core processor, rumours and speculation have been flying around the internet. Some rumours are, of course, more likely to prove true than others, but everything seems to be pointing to big upgrades and a smartphone deserving of the hype.

Here are some things to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S6 in terms of design, features, price, release date and specifications:

GET READY FOR AN UPDATED DESIGN. Expect the S6 to have a more durable case, possibly made of aluminium or grapheme.

Smartphones – and their screens – have been getting bigger. This is one trend that doesn’t look to be at an end, so expect the S6 to feature a 5.1’’ screen.

The biggest upgrades will probably be seen in the processor and camera, and the phone’s display and durability.

Expect the S6 to have a 20MP rear camera and 4-7 front camera.

Consumers want their phone batteries to last longer, and as Samsung have done well in this regard, it’s not unreasonable to expect them to keep improving.

EXPECTED PRICESamsung smartphones have always been at the higher end of the pricing spectrum, and we don’t expect this one to be any different. In fact, the S6 is likely to be a little more expensive than previous phones in the S series. You’ll probably be looking at approximately R8 925.

EXPECTED RELEASE DATEThe S6’s official release date is not expected to be announced until the MWC 2015 at the beginning of March. As the S5’s release date was in April 2014, it seems likely that the next in the series will have a release date in April this year.

HERE ARE SOME EXPECTED

SPECS:Wireless connectivity: Bluetooth v4.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/nSpecial Wi-Fi features: DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Dual-BandNavigation: Digital compass, GPS/A-GPS (via Google Maps application)Dimensions: 152.4 x 70.1 x 6.9mm Weight: 160-170 gramsWireless charging: YESNFC: YESCPU: Exynos 5 hexa-core processor with 6-core ARM-Mali T628RAM: 4GB Memory: 32/64/128GBDisplay: 3D OLED (Organic LED) foldable screen, TouchWiz User Interface (16M colours) and water & dust resistant screen protectionCamera (primary): 20MP rear-side camera with autofocus

Samsung Galaxy S6Every release in the Samsung S series has been highly anticipated, and it’s been

no different in the run-up to the release of the Galaxy S6. In fact, the S6 may be more deserving of attention than any of its predecessors, as the phone is sure to shake up

our expectations of the Galaxy S series.

Two months ago, De Villiers underwent a full reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate knee ligaments with an artificial graft, as well as a repair of the medial collateral knee ligament. In simple terms, he had a full knee reconstruction. According to dr Jacques Snyman, this is fairly serious surgery that could be expected to put the rugby player out of commission for

approximately eight months. De Villiers noted that he is

very fortunate to have supportive infrastructures at both the Springboks and the Stormers to help him recover from injuries and perform at optimal levels. “In this case, I still needed surgery to repair the damage to my knee, and it really helped knowing I had a

supportive and understanding medical scheme in my corner.”

“Recovery after major knee surgery is a slow and careful process requiring input from the orthopaedic surgeon, physical therapist, chiropractor, and trainer who know your abilities and can advise you accordingly,” he explained.

Dr Snyman explains the usual stages of recovery one may expect after major knee surgery:Post-surgeryAfter serious knee surgery, your orthopaedic surgeon will usually evaluate any swelling and pain, your muscle activation patterns, and the range of motion of your knee (as well as that of your hip, ankle and lumbar spine). Every joint should function properly so that there is no added stress placed on the knee.

The first two weeksDecreasing the swelling and reaching full passive range of motion is very important in the first few weeks after surgery. Treatment options and programmes may include icing the area regularly and

working the range of motion between icing sessions. Adhering to these programmes is crucial to recovery.Start doing weight-bearing exercisesOnce you have achieved a full range of motion, you can start doing supervised weight-bearing exercises, which may include squats and lunges to strengthen the knee and ligaments.

“Having knee surgery is most certainly a humbling experience that teaches you not to take your health for granted,” said De Villiers. “My body is pivotal to my career, but injuries do happen – especially in a sport like rugby. Injuries are part of life; you just have to accept them, listen to your doctor and medical specialists, and work hard to recover.

“At this stage, it’s difficult to determine how long I’ll be out of action. In all likelihood, it will be for about eight months, but I am doing everything I can to fast-track my recovery. I am also trying to keep fit by doing some low-intensity cycling and swimming.

“The time-out has also given me the perfect opportunity to bond with my baby, Luka, the newest addition to our family.

JEAN DE VILLIERS: ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERYWith little over eight months left before the start of one of the world’s most anticipated sporting events, the Rugby World Cup, South Africans are waiting with bated breath to see whether national rugby captain Jean de Villiers will be fit enough to play after he sustained a serious knee injury against Wales last year.

HOËRSKOOL SENTRAAL(t) 051 410 1800 (e) mail@sentraal.co.za

Die Hoërskool Sentraal vier vanjaar sy 110e bestaansjaar en is ‘n voorkeurskool in die Vrystaat op grond van bewese akademiese-, sport- en kultuurprestasies oor bykans 11 dekades heen.

Die feit dat die skool ‘n sterk waardegedrewe ingesteldheid het bring mee dat die oorgrote meerderheid leerders ‘n toenemdende begrip het vir hul bevoorregte posisie ten opsigte van onderwys en derhalwe uitreik na mense in nood. Ook die bewuswees van groter druk op die omgewing en natuurlike hulpbronne is elemente wat al hoe sterker binne die Sentraalgemeenskap ervaar word. In hierdie opsig speel die Groengroep ‘n belangrike rol. Die leerders van Sentraal is inderdaad gekonnekteer met die nuwe wêreld en is van plan om hul verantwoordelikhede na te kom. Talle

jong oud-Tralies bevind hulle in goeie werkomgewings wêreldwyd en lewer beduidende bydraes in hul onderskeie gemeenskappe.

Die matriekklas van 2014 het uitstekend presteer en vier leerders, Berna Coetzee, Brandon Daffue, Hanré Herbst en Paul Schall was onder die top 50-presteerders in die Vrystaat. Die tien akademiese toppresteerders in dié klas het almal vyf en meer A-simbole in die nasionale seniorsertifikaateksamen behaal. Uitstekende prestasies is ook in vakolimpiades en ander akademiese aktiwiteite behaal. Sentraal het ‘n 1e plek in die SUT se Skole Tegnologie vasvra behaal en ‘n 2e plek in die MINQUIZ-kompetisie.

Sentraal se oop vakkeuse in die VOO-fase maak dit vir leerders baie aantreklik om hul hoërskoolloopbane hier voort te sit.

Op kultuurgebied was 2014 ‘n besondere jaar. Die hoogtepunt was ongetwyfeld die Europese koortoer gedurende Desember wat ‘n verrykende ervaring vir elke koorlid was. Ook die aktiwiteite van die Sentraal-musiekakademie (SMA) neem in gewildheid toe. Die SMA is huidig die grootste musiekakademie in die Vrystaat.

Die Tralie-Varia, Sentraal se amptelike skoolkoerant is ook in 2014 as die beste skoolkoerant in die Vrystaat (en derde in Suid-Afrika) in Media 24 se Nasionale Skoolkoerantkompetisie aangewys

UIT SENTRAAL – DIE WÊRELD IN!Twee leerders was ook finaliste in

Volksblad en die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se Matrikulant van die Jaar-kompetisie.

Uitstekende prestasies is ook op sportgebied behaal. Die eerste netbalspan se agtste agtereenvolgende verowering van die Vrystaattrofee asook talle ander netballigas bevestig dit. Ons sportlui het met onderskeiding op provinsiale en nasionale vlak presteer en talle atlete swemmers en skuts het ook op internasionale vlak hul merk gemaak. Meer as ‘n 100 van Sentraal se sportpresteerders het die Vrystaat in sportsoorte binne skoolverband verteenwoordig.

Eie Haard, Sentraal se koshuis vir seuns en dogters is een van die bes toegeruste skoolkoshuise in Suid-Afrika. Inwoners van Eie Haard kom van oor die sentrale gedeelte van die land en bring ‘n verdere sterk en positiewe waardestelsel na die skool. Die koshuis is baie modern, beskik

oor internetgeriewe, vervoergeriewe, ‘n eie kragopwekker en talle ander voordele. Eie Haard bied uitnemende huisvesting aan ongeveer 250 seuns en dogters – twee leerders per kamer. Die koshuis is tans vol.

Onder die leiding van ‘n bekwame beheerliggaam word infrastruktuur oor die hele spektrum van die skoolomgewing deurlopend geskep en opgegradeer – dit is noodsaaklik en ondersteun die uitstekende prestasies van die skool.

Wat 2015 betref: die skool is opgewonde oor ‘n sterk gr 8 inname. Dit is ‘n groep leerders met baie potensiaal wat in die dinamiese skoolomgewing van Sentraal gaan gedy en ‘n positiewe bydrae op alle lewensterreine gaan lewer. Die bruisende geesdrif van Sentraal se grootste bate(die leerders) is inspirerend en spoor almal tot nog hoër hoogtes aan. Sentraal is gerat en gereed om die tradisie van voortreflikheid in 2015 voort te sit.

THE TOP SIX PSP GAMES

DAXTERThe chattier, shorter partner of the Jak & Daxter games gets the spotlight on a platform that’s just his size. A Good Match for: Looney Tunes buffs. Jak’s sidekick shares the insecure bluster of Daffy Duck and is animated with such detail and charm that he could be related to Bugs bunny

EVERY EXTENDFocused on experience, pushing you to detonate ever bigger explosion sequences to get higher scores, ranks and levels.A Good Match for: People who like to push themselves. Peppered with items to ramp up the speed and difficulty, this title’s levels are actually dynamic, ever-mutating puzzles that demand patience.

EVERYDAY SHOOTEROne minute, you’re shooting amoebic shapes in what looks like a neural network, the next you’re blasting back robot hordes in a trippy mech nightmare. A Good Match for: Abstract art enthusiasts. Everyday Shooter splashes hues and shapes across the screen and brings them to life in surprisingly creepy and breathtaking ways.

CHAINS OF OLYMPUSChains of Olympus translates the series’ signature combat flair and mythological scale to the handheld, raising the stakes of what was possible on the PSP.A Good Match for: Riders of public transportation. Chances are, your daily commute offers plenty of opportunities to get good and worked up. Thankfully, this title lets you take out your anger on the monsters of Greco-Roman myth, not fellow passengers.

HALF MINUTEA Good Match for: Efficiency experts. Not only does this quirky Atlus title provide an extra-lean cut of RPG in the Hero 30 mode, it also riffs on other genres, too. You can get your concentrated side-scrolling shooter fix in Princess 30 or do eyeblink-quick RTS planning in Evil Lord 30.2

LUMINESThis puzzle game’s predecessor singlehandedly justified the existence of the PlayStation Portable. Lumines 2 adds glorious sound-and-color syncopation to Tetris’ falling-block formula against the backdrop of a killer soundtrack.
