Die klokkie lui luid oor die gange van Hoërskool Johannesburg.

The bell rings loudly through the halls of Hoërskool Johannesburg.

Dit is 'n gewone lentemôre, vol opwinding en energie.

It is a typical spring morning, full of excitement and energy.

Die mure is bedek met helder blomme en lewendige skilderye, geskep deur die kreatiewe kunsklas.

The walls are covered with bright flowers and lively paintings, created by the creative art class.

Anna stap vinnig deur die lang gang na haar volgende klas.

Anna walks quickly through the long corridor to her next class.

Sy is die hoof van die debatspan en 'n briljante student, maar diep binne haar is 'n knaende angs.

She is the head of the debate team and a brilliant student, but deep inside her, there is a gnawing anxiety.

Skielik, sonder waarskuwing, begin die weer buite dramaties verander.

Suddenly, without warning, the weather outside begins to change dramatically.

Wolke pak saam en 'n hewige haelstorm begin onverskrokke op die dakke beuk.

Clouds gather, and a fierce hailstorm begins relentlessly pounding on the roofs.

Die skoolhoof kondig vinnig 'n skoolsluiting aan oor die luidsprekers.

The principal quickly announces a school closure over the loudspeakers.

Studente moet binne bly.

Students must stay inside.

Paniek begin in die gange opvlam.

Panic begins to flare up in the halls.

Anna voel 'n swaar verantwoordelikheid.

Anna feels a heavy responsibility.

As leier in die skool moes sy kalm bly.

As a leader in the school, she needed to remain calm.

Sy kyk na Johan en Elsie, twee goeie vriende en medelede van die debatspan.

She looks at Johan and Elsie, two good friends and fellow members of the debate team.

"Ons moet ondersteun," sê sy, probeer om haar stem stabiel te hou.

"We must provide support," she says, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Kom ons help om almal veilig te hou.

"Let's help to keep everyone safe."

"Haar gedagtes jaag, maar sy besluit om die leerlinge in kleiner, kalm groepies te organiseer.

Her thoughts race, but she decides to organize the students into smaller, calm groups.

Sy vra Johan om by die jongeres te staan en hulle te kalmeer met stories.

She asks Johan to stand with the younger ones and calm them with stories.

Elsie moet saamsing, 'n aktiwiteit wat altyd help om spanning te verlig.

Elsie is to sing along, an activity that always helps to relieve tension.

Anna weet dat dit nodig is om beheer te behou en die vrees te hanteer.

Anna knows it is necessary to maintain control and manage the fear.

Dan, die ergste gebeur.

Then, the worst happens.

‘n Venster in die ou biblioteek bars oop as gevolg van die intense hael.

A window in the old library bursts open due to the intense hail.

Glasstukke spat oor die vloer.

Shards of glass scatter across the floor.

Studente skree en stapel oor mekaar.

Students scream and pile over one another.

Anna draf daarheen en roep uit, "Geen paniek nie!

Anna runs there and calls out, "No panic!

Kom ons beweeg stadig weg van die vensters.

Let's move slowly away from the windows."

"Anna lei die studente doelgerig na die skool se aptytkamer, 'n veilige area ondergronds.

Anna purposefully leads the students to the school's canteen, a safe area underground.

Haar kalmte begin hulle gerusstel en hulle volg haar voorbeeld.

Her calm begins to reassure them, and they follow her lead.

In die dieptes van die gebou, weg van die chaos, kom die groep stadig tot rus.

In the depths of the building, away from the chaos, the group slowly comes to rest.

Elsie herlees ‘n boodskap van dank.

Elsie rereads a message of thanks.

Johan glimlag breed.

Johan smiles broadly.

Wanneer die storm uiteindelik bedaar, en die skoolhoof terugkeer om hulle buite gevaar te verklaar, bars 'n golf van verligting deur die groepe.

When the storm finally subsides, and the principal returns to declare them out of danger, a wave of relief sweeps through the groups.

Anna het bewys dat sy 'n bekwame leier is.

Anna has proven to be a capable leader.

Sy het in 'n krisis moed getoon.

She showed courage in a crisis.

Vriende klop haar op die skouer in bewondering.

Friends pat her on the shoulder in admiration.

Anna voel hoe haar selfvertroue groei, en haar twyfel verdamp soos mis in die son.

Anna feels her confidence grow, and her doubts evaporate like mist in the sun.

Vandag het sy iets oor haarself geleer – sy is sterk, en sy is in beheer.

Today, she learned something about herself – she is strong, and she is in control.
