What can I do with awareNet?

awareNet is a social networking site, similar to facebook or MXit, but it allows you to do much more. You can communicate via email, comments, posts and chat with your school mates. You can create your own profile, present your life style and opinion. You can contact friends or school mates from any school that is a member of awareNet or make new friends, even internationally. Jointly, you can invent projects online about arts, music, science, media, literature or any topic you like. You can surprise your friends, family and teachers by including pictures, writing blogs or join forums!

awareNet Theme Song!

  The VSA thought awareNet really needs a song. But not just any song. A song by the users for the users. A song that reflects the life and the thoughts of its users. A song that is about awareness, awareNet, about you and me and us, about our life and possibilities, about the future and the Internet, and about Peace.  We found 5 schools in Grahamstown that want to take par...

Parallel scenes
By: Tsepiso Sathie Nzayo

Taking a walk through my mind
I witnessed a scene that nearly made me blind
I took a step back and confusion was already dancing in my reasoning
Should I jump or should I glide?

better keep up or you'll be left out
By: Zandile sizani

Believe it or not in this day and age everything revolves around computers. have you ever wondered if the power would go off or computers wouldn't work for a day how it would be...then i bet you get my point.

technology, computers specifically have made our lives so much easier and its constantly being upgraded everyday to improve our lives there are satellites everywhere that connect us to the world so you really don't have to imagine my little scenario. computers have become an intergral part of our lives that every single aspect of our lives literally relies on it..i mean how else would we buy food, or maintain relationships with our loved ones who are not in the same space we're in.

...The Rhodent Life Vol.2...
By: Makaziwe Ziki

This past week has been by far the most eventful week this term with: tests, assignment hand-ins, tutorials (one deadline after another) and lots of other delightful events as well. I sometimes felt like I couldn’t breathe, the pressure was just too overwhelming and I often had to remind myself why I’m here and why I put myself through such “torture”, as I often like to call it.  You see exams are nearly here, in fact they’re just lurking around the corner, and like most students panic mode is beginning to creep in. One wonders whether they’re ready and what fruits shall come of their labour. All is not gloom and doom though because end of semester also means end of the semester parties. Rhodents never fail to amaze me! They find every reason to have a “mare”/party. Common excuses are often, “it’s the end of the week let’s celebrate” and end of semester is no different. What a roller coaster year it has been though, one could say that having a “mare” is justified! Although the end of the week took a turn for the better, or worst, still remains to be seen.
