As Head of Boarding at Tiger Kloof, I have the privilege of creating a home away from home for our learners, a place where they are not only cared for, but truly known. My journey began in the classroom as a Mathematics teacher, and over the years I’ve served as a boarding parent and hostel manager, gaining deep insight into the needs of our students. Boarding at Tiger Kloof is more than accommodation, it’s a nurturing environment where young people grow in confidence, character, and independence.

​

We foster a strong sense of community, built on trust, discipline, and compassion. Learners form lifelong friendships, develop essential life skills, and thrive in a space that feels like family. Every day, I am committed to ensuring that our boarding programme supports their academic journey while also shaping them into resilient, responsible individuals. At Tiger Kloof, we don’t just provide a place to stay, we offer a place to belong, and a foundation for a meaningful future.

As the Round Square Representative at Tiger Kloof, I have the privilege of connecting our school to a global network of like-minded institutions committed to shaping young leaders. Through the six Round Square IDEALS: Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service, I help guide our learners in developing the values, skills, and global mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. These principles are not just concepts; they are lived experiences that shape our students into thoughtful, courageous, and compassionate individuals.

​

My role involves coordinating student participation in local and international programmes, fostering partnerships with other member schools, and overseeing projects that reflect the spirit of Round Square. I work closely with staff and students to promote collaboration, encourage initiative, and ensure that Tiger Kloof’s contributions to the network are meaningful and impactful.
