School in Sundowner appoints new executive head
Joanne Quick's aim is to give every learner with life skills that will help them thrive in the ever-changing world of work.
Joanne Quick has been appointed the new executive head of Curro Aurora in Sundowner.
She is currently the executive head at Northriding College, another school managed by Curro Holdings, and will now oversee the running of both schools.
During her tenure at Northriding College, Quick supervised the school’s transition of ownership to Curro Holdings and has gone on to implement various innovative systems to bring the college in line with Curro’s 21st-century educational philosophy.
This included the launch of the progressive technology-rich DigiEd school model in the high school last year.
Quick graduated first from the University of Stellenbosch and later from the University of the Witwatersrand Business School, where she received her Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management cum laude and was awarded the dean’s list. With a wealth of business management experience under her belt, she is now looking ahead, confident, excited, and undeterred by the challenges that lie ahead.
She is determined to make both schools the most reputable in the area and has especially great aspirations for Curro Aurora.
Her main aim though is to provide every learner with a fulfilling school journey that equips them with the life skills needed to survive and thrive in an ever-changing world of work.
“My time at Northriding College has been focused on the growth and development of a very young campus while also making sure that the learners are supported to reach their full potential,” she said.
“I am thrilled to be able to add Curro Aurora to my management portfolio, as it means I can now ensure that the Curro academic offering continues to grow and develop within the Randburg area.”
Speaking of the appointment, chief operating officer at Curro Holdings Bernardt van der Linde said Quick was one of the group’s most respected and valued executive heads.
“She has proven herself to be a capable strategic and operational leader with the ability to motivate staff and add value to the daily lives of our learners and we know her tireless work ethic, passion and dedication will be greatly welcomed at Curro Aurora just as it has been at Northriding College. We wish her every success in her new role.”
