Die Pulse Byeenkoms 2003

Soos elke jaar het die Pulse byeenkoms weer groot opspraak gemaak. Diè jaar was dit Orkney Hoërskool se beurt om die Inter Hoër (Pulse byeenkoms) te organiseer en terwyl die onderwysers en beamptes hard gespook het in die hitte het die leerders hul skole ondersteunend toegejuig. Maar wat is 'n reuse sukses nou sonder 'n skoonheid? Hiervoor het al die skole met hul mooiste meisies gepryk in die Mej. Pulse kompetisie en Engela Smit het met die edele weg gestap as die nuwe Mej. Pulse.

Die foto's van die Mej. Pulse en die Pulse Byeenkoms self is te sienne deur op die onderskeie te kliek.

Letters Received

It is a proven and established fact that cameras are a significant crime deterrent, as well providing quality evidence for our Police Force.

The social upliftment and job creation programs are ongoing but take time to implement. Criminals, in the mean time, will continue to steal and thereby complicate these exact efforts for existing companies that currently provide employment for the hard-working and innocent 'Klerksdorpians'.

This is a topic that should not be debated as more time will be wasted. I am of the opinion that the only decision makers regarding CCTV are our Police Force. If they want cameras, and I am sure they will, then install the cameras ASAP.  Get on with it please.

Ek stem saam - misdaad sal net verskuif na 'n ander area.  Ek lees daar word geskryf dat min(der) misdaad gepleeg word rondom sekuriteit-kameras, maar daar sal tog sekerlik nie genoeg kameras wees om die hele besigheidsgebied te dek nie?  Ons almal, en ook die slim misdadigers (en hulle is BAIE) sal presies weet waar die kameras is.  As dit nou ek was, sal ek mos nie reg voor die oë van Big Brother my misdaad pleeg nie?  Maar dankie, in elk geval vir die munisipaliteit, dat hulle ook bekommerd is - elke druppeltjie help om misdaad te bekamp.

Mr. & Miss H.T.S

What happens when "big business" all come to the party and co-sponsor a competition with a difference? Come and see for yourself - the new and exciting Mr. and Miss Technical High School Klerksdorp on Wednesday 26 February 2003 in the Auditorium at 19h00. Here not only will you see the contestants "strut their stuff" but SPINDRIFT our local rock band who are currently touring the Jo'burg / Pretoria club scene and will be releasing their first CD in March, will keep the crowd entertained!

This is the first of a number of planned Mr.& Miss "High School" competitions coordinated by Pixie Productions. These competitions will not only raise funds for each of the schools involved - as just about every aspect of the competition is sponsored - but to also get each school involved in the community . The vision is that after all the winners from the different schools have been established an overall Mr. & Miss "High School" will be held - and this competition will be sponsored by a major corporate and all the funds raised from the final will be donated to a local appropriate charity!

This Weeks Movie Review:

The Tuxedo

He's Not Looking For Trouble… He's Wearing It.

Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs): never touch Devlin’s prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive “accident”, Jimmy can’t resist trying on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie. 

Suddenly thrust into a dangerous world of espionage, paired with a rookie partner (Jennifer Love Hewitt) even less experienced than he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting – if impeccably dressed – secret agent.
