OVIE-AKSENT NR.1 VAN 2015
16 Januarie 2015
Beste Ouers
Welkom in 2015!
“Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.”
Ralph Marston
“Excellence is NEVER an accident!”
Vince Lombardi
“Excellence is an art won by training and habitation. We do not act rightly because we
have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
Aristotle
Om 2015 op ‘n hoogtepunt af te skop is voorwaar ‘n kosbare voorreg en ons gee aan God,
ons Vader, al die eer! Baie geluk aan ons 2014-matrieks, hulle ouers en onderwysers – ons
is saam met u dankbaar!
Uitnemendheid is een van die Ovie-waardes en ook ons hooffokus vir 2015. God kan nie
middelmatigheid seën nie. Hy is ‘n God van uitnemendheid en dit word deur Sy skepping
uitgejubel en gevier! Daarom is dit ons strewe om alles wat ons doen, só te doen dat God vir
ons kan glimlag.
Ek is daarvan oortuig dat God die goeie werk wat Hy hier begin het ook sal laat voortleef en
dit nog tot hoër hoogtes sal uitbou. Ons weet nie wat die toekoms – 2015, inhou nie, maar
ons weet wie die toekoms in Sy hande hou. Met ons oë op die toekoms gevestig en met die
vaste vertroue dat ons deur geloof alles kan vermag, hardloop ons 2015 vol vertroue en met
‘n oorwinningsverwagting tegemoet.
Laat hier uit harte onderling
ook Overkruin sy offers bring
en ons as jeug die pad oopsper
met eenheidsideaal:
“KYK VER!”

Ons is baie trots op die goeie gedrag van die koorlede tydens die kamp en die

OVIE ACCENT NO 1 OF 2015
16 January 2015
Dear Parents
Welcome to 2015!
“Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.”
Ralph Marston
“Excellence is NEVER an accident!”
Vince Lombardi
“Excellence is an art won by training and habitation. We do not act rightly because we
have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
Aristotle
To kick off 2015 on a high note is truly a precious blessing and we give God, our Father, all
the honour! Congratulations to our 2014 matrics, their parents and teachers. We are
grateful with you!
Excellence is one of the Ovie values and also our main focus for 2015. God cannot bless
the average. He is a God of excellence and it is exulted and celebrated throughout His
creation. That is why it is our goal to do everything that we do in such a way that God can
smile at us.
I am convinced that God will let the good work that He started here live on and will heighten it
even further. We do not know what the future – 2015 – have in store for us, but we do know
who holds the future in His hands. With our eyes set on the future and with solid assurance
that we can do anything through faith, we shall seize 2015 with confidence and expected
victory.

CULTURE
CHOIR
The choir camp took place at the Oppieberg camping area on the other side of
Buffelspoort from 9 tot 11 January. The 89 choir members practised this year’s
repertoire during this camp. The choir practised from 08:00 in the morning until 22:00
in the evening. Time was also made for fun team-building activities like watermelon
fights and water balloon volleyball, and they cooled down in the swimming pool. The
camp concert took place on Saturday where the basses came out as winners with
their rendition of the song “Heeltemal niks”.
Thank you very much to the following people: Mr Attie Rossouw (choir leader), Dr.
Marlene le Roux (choir organiser), Mrs Janneke Lemke (choir organiser), Mrs Santie
Jooste and Ingrid Houtzager (caterers), the voice coaches Roelien Holland-Muter

(tenors) and the camp parents Lizelle and Martin Kozisek, Karen and Thomas Scott,
Lizette and Gerrie Venter, Celeste and Albert Truter.
We are very proud of the good behaviour of the choir members during the camp and
the enthusiasm with which the challenging music was undertaken and mastered. We
are looking forward to beautiful and outstanding quality of choir singing in 2015.
