School Leadership.
Taking Charge.
Leadership 1
Awards: I have been commended throughout my primary and high school
I was a prefect of both my school and my residence. My prefect portfolio involved the event planning of our school's birthday. As a prefect we had to ensure that the school was a safe environment, so we had duties to walk around on the school grounds and settle disputes. The leadership roles I had involved a lot of teamwork, communication, and delegation. My responsibility was to be a voice for my fellow students, to be a channel through which they could offer input into the schooling system, as well as dealing with smaller complaints. As a prefect of my high school house (home residence) I was more involved with planning and organizing or events and functions as well as being on the spirit committee to keep everyone dedicated to the house.
Leadership 2
I was captain of my hockey team for multiple years, and all the teams I played for (different age categories) brought me great pride and joy (in a humble manner). I learned a lot about clear communication and how to offer encouragement tailored to the needs of each individual.
Awards: I received an award for the fastest progress made in a season (gr 8).

Giving back.
Outreach Area 1
Outreach Area 2
I went on a few outreaches throughout university so far. I went to Pietermaritzburg as well as the Plett Rage and Villiersdorp. On all these missions we spread the gospel and lent a helping hand where it was needed. In Villiersdorp, we held a holiday club for the local community and in Plett we helped the matrics sober up and offered insights and guidance for life after school, and just life in general. I also served at the Stranddiens in Kleinmond, where we provided entertainment to children in the form of games and puppet shows, as well as hosting boeresport and worship evenings.

I was a mentor in my University residence -Lydia, where I offered guidance to 9 first-year students, ensuring they settled into the new environment and that they coped with the pressure of university. I was also a small group leader for my church, where I led discussions on prescribed content each week, providing a safe environment in which everyone could explore the word of God and develop a strong support system they could rely on.
