COMMUNITY

It gives me great pleasure to be able to inform you that Hilton Temmers has been officially appointed as the Principal of Okkie Smuts from 1 January 2023.

Hilton Temmers was appointed in the role of Head of Department at Okkie Smuts in November 2021 and immediately stepped into the role as Acting Principal of our school. He has shown himself to be energetic, enthusiastic, patient and approachable as a leader who is respected by the staff, the School Governing Body, the children and their parents. His passion for education, his involvement in sport, his commitment to the area, and his focus on making Okkie Smuts and Buzzy Bees the very best school to serve our community, makes this young father and family man a true asset for our school.

Thank you to the staff members who stepped up to the role of Acting Principal during the long process of finding and appointing a suitable principal for our school. The School Governing Body is grateful to Mrs Haxton, Mr Gerber, Mrs Beukes and Mr Temmers for serving the school in the Acting Principal position. It has been worth the wait to finally be able to announce that our school has a wonderful new principal.

Mr Hilton Temmers has the support of the whole Okkie Smuts family and we are excited for what 2023 has in store for the school.

Yours sincerely

Phil Murray School Governing Body Chairperson
