Welcome message from the Principal
Dear Sir/Madam
Whether you are a current parent, future parent or looking to join our fantastic team, I hope you find this website useful.
On behalf of all the staff at Mapenane School of Specialization, I am happy to extend a warm welcome to the 2026 School Year!
We express our gratitude for choosing us and being a part of our school. It is a privilege for us to have the opportunity to lead this school, with all burning desires to gain requisite academic standards and work with tireless efforts to impart the best education. With regard to my past experience in the field of education, I have been dedicated to the field for more than thirty years, and have worked with a variety of learners, teachers and administrators ranging from schools, technikon and the university. I gained a lot of experience in teaching and training learners from diverse backgrounds. I am very excited and keen to extent my skills as a Principal leading education to Mapenane School of Specialization and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success.
My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know our school, we hope that you are just as determined as us to be the very best versions of ourselves.
