Principal G.Vogel

Mr G.C Vogel

YOU WILL BE MISSED

A Man, a Leader, a Friend, a Mentor, a Father
A Man of Integrity, A MAN OF CHARACTER

Daar is soveel woorde, sinne of selfs boeke wat nie voldoende kan beskryf wat Meneer Gerhardus Cornelius Vogel vir ons almal beteken nie.

Maar ons is nie hier om hom te beskryf nie, ons is hier om vir hom voorspoed toe te wens, om vir hom dankie te sê.

Dankie vir die jare van onbaatsugtige leiding. Dankie vir die liefde en toewyding wat Meneer daagliks in ons skool se hart ingebou het. Dankie dat jy ons, as personeel en ook elke leerder, nie net gelei het nie, maar ook met die meeste sorg, Geduld en empatie gevorm het.

When we think back on all the years you were part of Keurhof School, it was not just the title “SIR” that you carried for us, but rather the integrity and wisdom you showed in everything you did. A man of character, one who did not only speak, but who was the example in everything he did. There was no task too big or too small, no challenge that wasn’t faced with joy and determination. And each time, without complaining. You knew how to guide everyone back onto the right path – whether in teaching, on the sports field, or in the quiet of personal conversation.

Hy het nie net van ons verwag om net te leer en om net te onderrig nie, maar om op te staan, om ‘n voorbeeld van respek, deernis, en hardwerkendheid te wees. Meneer, jy het nie net ‘n leier nie, maar ook ‘n vriend vir ons almal geword.

Jou deure was altyd oop, jou ore altyd bereid om na ons te luister, jou hart vol omgee en jou woorde vol wysheid.

Daardie liefdevolle glimlag in die oggend, daardie rustige raad wanneer dinge moeilik was, daardie streng maar regverdig “ja” of “nee” – dit het ons gelei, elke dag, elke uur, elke minuut.

Through the years, you were not only a role model, but also the person who helped us realize what truly matters; character, values, and the passion to live not just for yourself, but for others.

That is why we say today, Mr. Vogel, with love and gratitude:

Your legacy will live on in everyone you have touched.

Your work is valued not only in the classrooms or on the sports field, but in the worth, you have placed within all of us.

Mag hierdie volgende hoofstuk in jou lewe net so ryklik wees in vreugde, liefde en vrede soos die jare wat jy by ons deurgebring het.

Jou invloed sal altyd teenwoordig wees, nie net by Keurhofskool nie, maar in elke mens wat ooit die voorreg gehad het om by jou te leer.

BAIE DANKIE, Meneer Vogel, vir jou ongelooflike karakter en vir die onmiskenbare impak wat jy op ons lewens gehad het.

WE SALUTE YOU

Having strong moral principles that are consistently lived under all circumstances.

CARE

Being supportive and true to the school, what it stands for and to those in the school community. Blind allegiance is discouraged but devotion, emotional attachment and a sense of belonging is nurtured.
