TEXT A CHANGE DRIVER What started as a school assignment for Artemis, 16, turned into something that could make a world of difference. As told to Seventeen intern Robyn Thomas. 1. I have done charity work with my school before, like helping to redo interiors of homes in disadvantaged communities. I have always known that I had a passion to help people. Making a Difference Through Design, a competition sponsored by Woolworths and Sappi, was my first major project – and I never expected it to have such a massive impact on my life. 5 2. I take design as a subject at school and our department was presented with the Making a Difference Through Design competition. The categories were Surface, Product, Environment and Visual Communication. I chose Product Design. To help me come up with a concept, I did research and found that 76% of learners in South Africa struggle to get to school every 10 day! It’s crazy to think that kids like me are missing out on education because of something as basic as transport. I decided I wanted to change this and create something that was simple, small and fun: a scooter! I named my product Scoot-2-School. 3. I knew my scooter needed to be different from what was already available, 15 plus, I wanted to make it eco-friendly. I used recyclable materials like plastic, wood and scrap metal. I decided to go a step further and make it multi-functional by adding a storage compartment for books and stationery. Plus, you can use the lid of the stationery compartment as a desk (which is helpful in really poor schools that do not have enough desks for all their 20 students). Learners use their physical strength to power the scooter, so there are no carbon dioxide emissions. 4. It was not easy to figure out how I was going to lay it all out and fit it together, but I just stuck to my idea. I gave it everything I could and sent off my pitch to Woolworths – and they actually liked it! My biggest challenge 25 was that I did not know if my design was good enough or what the panel of judges were looking for. But you just have to go with the flow, stick to what you believe, then present your idea. 5. When I had found out I had won, I was beyond ecstatic! I received an iPad, Adobe Software sponsored by Leaving Curve and a trip to the Design 30 Indaba in Cape Town, where I showcased my scooter. I have been to Cape Town twice before, but this trip was remarkable!

I will never forget the overwhelming pride I felt when I saw so many people interested in my scooter. The young visitors were the most enthusiastic and 35 I could see how my scooter could serve a purpose. 7. The scooters have not been mass-produced yet, but Woolworths is considering a pilot project where scooters would be made and donated to Ibhongo Secondary School in Soweto – the school I based my project on. I would love to see the Scoot-2-School journey begin to change lives for the 40 better! It is fulfilling to know that you are the one helping to solve a problem like this. 8. This project opened my eyes to the world of design. It is everywhere and it is about solving problems and making life easier for people. I do not know where the future will take me, but I want design to be part of it. Discovering 45 how grateful I should be that I can get to school so easily has taught me so much. I have learnt to trust in my ideas, even the small ones that seem strange or stupid because I never know where they might take me. Step out with a positive footprint and you could shake the world!

Give him /her tips on how to write a good CV. Read the passage (TEXT C) below and write down SEVEN main points you will include in your advice. INSTRUCTIONS 1. List SEVEN points in full sentences, using NO MORE than 70 words. 2. Number your sentences from 1 to 7. 3. Write ONLY one point per sentence. 4. Use your OWN words. 5. Indicate the total number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. TEXT C Will you be applying for a job soon? The first step is to ensure that you have written an excellent CV. The care taken when writing the CV reflects on the applicant. Ensure that there are no grammar and spelling mistakes, for example the school’s name must be spelt correctly. Many governing body members are not directly involved in education so keep educational jargon to a minimum. Keep the language simple so that everyone on the panel can understand it. If you are applying for posts at different schools, it is important to bear in mind that each school has its own particular needs. Tailor your application to the specific job requirements of each school. In your CV provide a complete chronological history of your career. If you had jobs outside the profession, give the details. Gaps in your history could make the selection panel suspicious. It is important that the layout of your CV is neat. Most people do not like boasting, but a CV is a time to sell yourself. Record your achievements and contributions both inside and outside the teaching profession. Ensure that all requested documentation and testimonials are attached to your CV. A missing document might be seen as a lack of organisational skills. List at least three people that the governing body can contact for a reference. A good CV increases your chance of being short-listed.
