This year has been a year of great change and learning for me and I have received much sound advice and support from this quiet, humble and unassuming person who deserves to be honoured. I am proud to announce that the recipient of this award this year is Mrs Cheryl Snyman.
Mrs Snyman has guided and supported me this year as I learn to hold the reins of Riebeek College. I value her considered opinions, loyalty, thoughtfulness and her truthfulness. She is an administrator of note, and pays attention to detail to ensure that all aspects of her planning run true to form.
Mrs Snyman’s integrity, record-keeping, work ethic and dedication to Riebeek College have proved to be a wonderful protective shield for me in this, my first year, as Principal. She insists on correct procedure and is highly efficient at honouring the many meaningful traditions that need to be protected and continued at the school.
Mrs Snyman is a worthy recipient of this prestigious award. She is a person you can trust implicitly and as Warren Bennis and Bert Nanus said, “Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together” Mrs Snyman, all at Riebeek do trust you implicitly.
Congratulations Mrs Snyman, and know that you have earned this award of which you can be suitably proud.
