KEMPTON Park Primary’s new principal has a positive and dynamic vision for the future of the school.
Lizette Louw was officially appointed and assumed her new and exciting role as school principal on June 1.
Louw said she is extremely delighted to have been chosen to fill this position as she is finally where she wants to be in her career.
The former Normaal College Pretoria student took her first teaching post at Kempton Park West Pre-Primary School (now Westside Primary) in 1996.
By 1998, the 41-year-old had started a new path in her career as a Grade 1 teacher at Kempton Park Primary.
“I taught Grade 1 until the end of 2002, then in 2003 I began a new role as a Grade 3 teacher,” Louw said.
In 2007 she was promoted to HOD of the Foundation Phase, where she worked diligently in this post for the next seven years.
In April 2014 she became the school’s deputy principal.
“At the end of January this year, the former school principal, Mr Lindsay, retired and I then stepped into the position as acting principal from February. And after a short stint as deputy, I took on the challenge of school principal with great enthusiasm,” Louw concluded.
