Gewilde oud-onderwyseres oorlede

Die gewilde en afgetrede onderwyser van Gansbaai Primêr, Rachel Valentine (72), is op 7 Mei 2025 oorlede. “Rachel was baie lief vir kinders en was 'n aangename, hardwerkende en toegewyde onderwyser,” vertel haar eggenoot, William Valentine. “Wanneer sy huis toe kom, het kinders gewoonlik al vir haar gewag vir 'n koffietjie en 'n ietsie om te eet.”

Rachel is op 4 Desember 1952 gebore en is 'n oud-Gansbaaier wat onder die 'ou-ou' gardes van die skool se onderwysers gereken is. Baie van haar leerders se kinders het al getroude kinders. Sy het nog destyds in die VGK-gebou in die agtermiddae onderrig verskaf en later in die skoolsaal en later die skool - vir sowat 27 jaar. In 1998 het Rachel afgetree en saam met William haar aftreejare geniet. Mervin Hess, wat verlede jaar by Gansbaai Academia afgetree het, het vir jare saam met Rachel by Gansbaaai Primêr onderrig gegee. “Sy was 'n pragtige mens van binne en het haar alles vir die kinders gegee,” het Mervin gesê.
