She said she has a strategy to prepare for lessons in class. “I walk the extra mile for the learners in my class. I make sure that I am always prepared for the lessons of the day. I also make sure that learners know exactly what to do, and I make myself available to them.”
The school’s principal, Pieter Ferreira, congratulated her on receiving this prize, and making this milestone. “Well done, the school is proud of you.”
