In Saturday’s Eastern Cape workshop, as soon as people started to arrive the room began to spill over with love and support. The support that schools receive comes from many places.

“Edufundi came at the right time for me, I did not know what to do but now I am confident,” said a Departmental Head in the Eastern Cape who started in a new position in a new school last year. She was echoing the words of a young deputy principal in KwaZulu-Natal who is excited about the coaching she is receiving that has helped her to get direction and order in her work.

“This is the first workshop where I didn’t want to leave!” says one participant. “I loved you last year and I love you this year still, Mrs V; I’m always excited to come to these workshops,” says another. Statements like this can be heard from many who attend Edufundi’s Lead Like a Champion workshops.

Schools reported that the programme had resulted in improvements in learner behaviour, learner engagement and teamwork amongst SMT members.

One year on and the Edufundi Support Team were back in the room with School Management Teams (SMTs) from Tembisa, Diepsloot and Soweto.
