Week 1, Block 1.....the rest is History
What a week..! Academic block 1 started off with registration it was very organized this year, got my papers sorted, signed my forms, off to data capturing then straight to checkout point with student card in hand ….Now that it was sorted I could begin my year. Started with a short intro & an inspirational presentation, then a DESIGN WORKSHOP creating of our very own community hub. This group work definitely provided loads of entertainment as well as some much learning opportunities. Those were definitely fun times.
The road trips included visits to The AFRIKAANSE TAAL MONUMENT- a representation of symbolism and heritage,
DIE POORT- bring the rich heritage of the wagons of Paarl to life.
The OLD MAC DADDY TRAILER PARK , where beautiful designs and artistic talents were shown using enviromentally friendly materials. THE SOLMS DELTA WINE ESTATE where students took part in an amazing wine tasting session. Beautiful,serene landscape great picnic spots.
The knowledge and understanding that I gained was awesome and the views & beautiful weather, what more could we ask for. We also travelled to a School for Multigrade learning which will form part of our M.I.P this year. It is truly exciting to know that we be making an active contribution to the upliftment of our communities. The smiles on the children's faces even though they are at as privileged as many other students just melted my heart. Definitely inspiration to continue with community development.
Then a few more presentations from our lecturers as well as other practicing architects’ to give us that extra excitement factor. This week was simply awesome. My journey ended with a train ride home, what great memories and a wonderful start to the year & new friendships were made.A special thank you to Hermie and Jolanda. Great start to the year!
