 “I am always an educator first and therefor the academic development of learners will always be my first passion. As a coach, I believe that children need more than just academic development and know that extra-curricular activities plays a valuable role in the social development of our children. Striking a balance between intellectual-, mental-, emotional- and social development of each learner will be a team effort. My hope is that as a team, we will always keep our school’s motto in mind and that we will always serve education to the best of our abilities.

Our school’s motto is: ‘Geared for the future’. Our focus as a team will thus be, to strive to promote inclusive education and development so that our learners are prepared holistically for a dynamic future. We will be able to reach our goal through collaborating and partnering with our parents, business, industry and the local community. I am absolutely looking forward to this new challenge.”
