Mr Dirk de Beer returns to Riebeek College in Term 3. He will be assisting in the Junior School and his warm, friendly and respectful manner ensures that Riebeek is looking forward to welcoming him back. Here he tells us about himself:
I am a man of hard work, motivation, honesty and inspiration. The reason I chose to be an educator is because I see it as the opportunity to change many individuals’ lives from young age groups up to older more advanced age groups. I can teach life skills and knowledge that when taught well will ensure the success in every learner’s life.
I have a BComm Tourism and Business Management Degree that I obtained through MGI (Midrand Graduate Institute), now known as Pearson Institute. I am currently busy with my PGCE through UNISA. I went to Ryno Riff Primary school from Grade 1 to Grade 7 and I went to Generaal Hertzog High School and matriculated there.
I am a very active individual with a love for sports, and a passion for people and motivating and coaching everyone around me to activate their own individual unique power, to change the world by starting small and growing into the person they were destined to be.
My hobbies are dancing, cleaning, working hard, family, doing workouts at gym, socialising with friends and new people, and playing computer games with my friends when there is time.
I am also a caring and helpful individual who will “go the extra mile” to see all work that is done is done thoroughly. I want to make sure that everyone is satisfied and treated well, with the respect and dignity that they deserve. I am very keen to learn new skills, grow as a person and also work in a team.
In conflict situations I will always take the required and necessary steps and actions to resolve the problem or conflict that non-harmful to anyone.
