Get to Know Your Teacher: Riaan

My name is Teacher Riaan and I am from the beautiful country of South Africa. I have always enjoyed playing sports and travelling. I have been privileged to have traveled to 29 countries to date. All throughout my life, I have been blessed with good friends and mentors that have guided me along my life's journey.

I have learned that knowledge is a gift that it is not merely a possessing of information, but the ability to discern and put to practice what has been learned. I aim to inspire my students to see learning as being useful in shaping them to become leaders with good moral conduct and abilities.

I am still learning everyday and look forward to joining and playing a part in my students quest to become all they possibly can be.
