Dear Readers
I have recently retired from the service of the Free State Department of Education. It was a pleasure to maintain this website for you for the past 17 years.
I started this website in 2006 (in those days on another platform) to create an e-platform with the primary goal to support the physical science teachers, and later the technical science teachers, of the Free State. We did not have an official e-platform for that purpose in those days, and I decided to do my own thing. From April 2014, I used Google services to continue the original website, and it eventually grew to a platform with quite an audience, including international visitors. See the picture at the bottom of this post.
To all of you, I want to extend my gratitude for visiting my website, and for the numerous messages of appreciation that I received from so many of you. At the time of posting this message, the website was visited 871 158 times. Rest assured that it was a pleasure to put each post on the website.
To continue serving you, I started to put plans in action in August of 2022 for the continuation of this service. I asked one of the subject advisers in my team, Mr Nkosi Nambane, to create a platform for that purpose. Official documents from the National and Free State Departments of Basic Education are now available on Mr Nambane's website, plus other material that you normally find helpful.
The address of Mr Nambane's website is https://www.nambaneacademy.com. Put in an effort to become familiar with the new layout, and also follow his YouTube channel with online lessons.
"hwscience" will not stop, but in time I will probably change the focus a bit. Hence, I will still post general and other useful information. Therefore, I invite you to click on https://hwscience.blogspot.com from time to time to look in what is available.
I will leave space for comments for a while. In case you have specific requests, you are welcome to post them so that I can forward them to Mr Nambane.
My best wishes to all of you and success with your work.
Henry Welman
