Volksrust High School is delighted to welcome Ms Rose-Anne Lyon back to its teaching staff. As a former learner and previous educator at the school, her return marks a special full-circle moment.

A career built on communication and education

After matriculating from Volksrust High School, Ms Lyon completed a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies (Journalism) at the University of the Free State, followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Education through UNISA.

Her career has spanned journalism, communications, publishing and education.

She has worked as a journalist, media and communications coordinator at a national teachers’ union, and, most recently, as a content writer and editor for an online educational publisher.

In that role, she created and edited educational resources for teachers across South Africa.

Ms Lyon now returns to Volksrust High School to teach English Home Language, bringing with her a wealth of industry and classroom experience.

Throughout her career, she has remained passionate about language, communication and education.

Her background in journalism, communications and educational publishing gives her a unique perspective on teaching and learning, enabling her to bring real-world knowledge, creativity and practical skills into the classroom.

Ms Lyon is excited to reconnect with the Volksrust High School community, work alongside dedicated colleagues, and inspire learners to develop a love for language, literature and critical thinking.

She is honoured to return to the school where her own educational journey began and looks forward to contributing to its continued tradition of excellence.

“The school warmly welcomes Ms Lyon back to the Volksrust High School family and wishes her every success in this exciting new chapter,” concliuded Mrs Marietjie Steyn of Volsrust High School.
