How long have you been an educator, and where did you train? I’ve been involved in teaching for 40 years. I trained in South Africa, completing a teaching diploma while full-time teaching at Bryanston High School in Johannesburg. Elon Musk attended the same school. I was principal of Rand Park High School, a state, co-educational school before emigrating to Aotearoa with my family in January 2003. When did you become principal of Mission Heights Junior College?
