GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS |

Ms Marion Wheater: Executive Head (wheat@saxonwoldprimary.co.za)
It has been my privilege to lead the Saxonwold Community since April 1994. I believe that it was no coincidence that my tenure as a Principal began at the same time that our country had its first democratic elections. I was free to create the school of my dreams, " a multiple everything". My personality too, is multi-faceted; I enjoy a variety of activities, from reading, to sports, to African Jazz and gardening, and my life is full of interesting people.

Mrs Fatima Habib - Chairperson (fateema.habib@gmail.com)
I am passionate about contributing toward making our society a more just and fair one and that extends to our educational system. As a parent of 2 children at SPS, I am deeply committed to our school and my role on the SGB further allows me to interact, participate and contribute meaningfully to our wonderful school. Being actively involved with SPS, as a both a parent and an SGB member has both enriched my life as well as humbled me. It is my firm conviction that ALL parents have an obligation if not a duty to be actively engaged with their children's education through consistent interaction with not only the child but the teachers as well. Our school is an exemplary one that fosters a set of values combined with quality education in every learner and for that and more, as a parent, I am delighted to play a role on the SGB as the Chairperson. |

Mrs Cheryl Kotwal: Secretary (ckotwal@saxonwoldprimary.co.za)
I am passionate about English language and History and majored in both at Varsity. I have developed course material and "Trained the Trainers" on the Revised National Curriculum and OBE for Wits University. I was a founder member of the National Association for Multi-Religious Education and was involved in writing the Unit Standards for SAQA for Religious Education. I see teaching as a vocation and love being in the classroom. In my "spare" time I read as much as possible and spend time with my five dogs. I am one of the elected Teacher Representatives on the Governing Body, and also responsible for Policy Development. |

I am married with 4 children. Two attend The Wold Pre-School. I am the School Secretary, the P.A. to the Principal, the Credit Controller, Events Co-ordinator for Principal functions and HR clerk. What I most adore about my job is seeing all the children during the day as they pass in and out of my office. Some with tears, others with smiles and some who are sad, but mostly they are smiling. I like to cook for my family and enjoy the company of all my friends and colleagues. I love reading biographies and my favourite show on the tele is C.S.I. |
