I AM
The owner of GirlSchool and have always had the desire to inspire people to fulfil their full potential. I have used my platform as a primary school teacher for the past 12 years to assist and guide the learners with the various challenges they face in today’s society.
That inspired me to further my studies and complete my Honours Degree in Psychology as well as Life Coaching.
I believe it’s vital to have the skills to equip learners to embrace the uniqueness of their own identities.

What is Girl-School?
Girl-School is so much more than just an extra-mural activity.
It is a life changing course,
where you learn more about you
Presented in a happy and fun environment, it is designed to uplift and empower your daughter to better prepare her for her teenage years and beyond.
Research shows that most children are already feeling insecure by the tender age of 5. We strive to put values back and to teach the girls to develop THEIR FULL potential, and not become a copy of what they are exposed to socially and in the media.
At Girl-School, our journey is not about becoming a “girly-girl”, but rather about becoming strong, brave and secure in your own identity. Girl-School encourages your daughter to embrace the world and all its opportunities. We believe that knowing who you are born to be, is the most beautiful, happiest and best version of yourself, while learning to stand firm when challenges present themselves.
Invest in your daughter today, and give her the skills to achieve her dreams.
