Culture
Laerskool Laeveld gives learners the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural activities. These include the following:
The Eisteddfod offers our learners, Afrikaans as well as English, the ideal opportunity to reach their full potential. This creates a stage on which learners confidently perform in front of an audience. It also promotes concentration and self-discipline. Learners are exposed to the little gems in literature, and get "food for the soul". Learners can, according to their ability, participate in a wide variety of sections e.g. ordinary and dramatized poetry and prose, as well as group items such as speaking choirs, experimental pieces, duo and trio presentations, conversations and monologues. Laerskool Laeveld has been playing a leading role in the Eisteddfod for many years. With a group of enthusiastic teachers, excellent coaches and excited learners, Laerskool Laeveld still reaches great heights every year. We are a truly prestigious A ++ school.
We can proudly say that our learners get the opportunity to participate in school oratorical competitions and the national ATKV orators. The ATKV Oratorical Competition is a national competition, presented by the ATKV. The mission of the competition is to promote Afrikaans in its entirety, with all its variants, and to give the youth an opportunity for language skills development. The ATKV's goal is to develop logically creative thinking, to formulate own opinions and arguments and to confidently persuade other people. Our learners have done extremely well during their national ATKV participations. Several speakers advanced to the semi-finals and we also had a student who won this national competition.
Gr 2-7 school orators in English and Afrikaans are either held during evening occasions or during school time. A grade winner is announced after all the argumentative speeches of participants were heard. Our school strives to promote both the Afrikaans and English languages in totality. We therefore present our learners with the opportunity to develop their language skills in such a way. Our learners are taught to think logically and creatively while also learning to analyze and synthesize. The speaker will eventually be able to reason and give his/her own opinion; formulate his/her own argument. We assist the learners to speak with confidence and to convince others of their point of view. This is a skill that we would like to develop as strongly as we possibly can. We develop Laerskool Laeveld speakers to become tomorrows leaders who will definitely have their say!
