About Mrs Janet Erasmus

    Mrs Erasmus received her BEd Honours degree from the North West University in Potchefstroom.  

    Albert Einstein once said: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” It is our duty as teachers to awaken the genius within each child. Effective teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason. We should not only motivate our pupils to learn but teach them how to do so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable.

    Mrs Erasmus attempts to change the mindset of each pupil while stimulating them to become lifelong learners. She hopes to impart life lessons pupils will never forget and assist them in aligning their aspirations and goals to become well rounded members of the community.  

    “The freedom to make mistakes provides the best environment for creativity. Education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to
    differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.”- Anatole Franc
