This is me, your favorite Office Manager. I am bright as a sunshine and sometimes loud, but my heart is always in the right place. I live to serve which is one of our core values in the network and I believe you and I will have a great working relationship.

I started in the year 2018 with SPARK schools in enrolment, I grew to other departments and now find myself at the school and has been the highlight of my career.

I love reading, I read all things including bubble gum wrap and I like experimenting with my skin and hair so if you need refferals to having amazing skin and hair I'm your girl😉.

My goal for 2023 is to continue to feed our goal towards a positive environment. It really wouldn't hurt us to have a healthy environment, we owe ourselves that, especially because this is where we honestly spend our days.

So the goal is to live all core values.

Happy new year and!! It's that time again, A time to roll our sleeves and serve nothing but excellence.

My SPARK journey started in 2018 in a grade 1 literacy classroom ( I swear Gr R/1 teachers wear capes) I moved to Gr  3 in 2019 then to grade 7 before being Assistant Principal in 2022. I have grown and continue to, both as a teacher, leader and a person in general.

I am always ready for a good laugh and speak fluent sarcasm. I have an interest in astrology and I'm getting better at explaining away my least favourable traits.

My key goal this year is intentionality in all aspects.

As we begin this academic year, remember kindness is free!

Hi Cresta 2023.

I am Job Osei Bonsu, Principal of SPARK Cresta. My SPARK journey started in 2019 as a Grade 4 BLF. I became the Grade 7 Math teacher in the said year and have been in the education sector for 14 years.

I love soccer and table tennis. I am a diehard fan of Chelsea and Sundowns.
They say men can't cook, but hey, you've got to try one of my tasty delights🤞🏼
In my quiet space, I love to watch funny clips and memes; laughter is a soul food😁

My goal for Cresta in 2023 is that of collaborative excellence. I believe that if it must be done, it must be excellently done. My dream is for Cresta to lead the network academically. We can achieve this by having a strong 'we can' mindset, embracing and aligning ourselves towards positivity and creating the environment that we can call our second home.
I am a firm believer in positivity; every problem has got a solution, it lives in the mind!

I am very excited to meet all of you. I hope you've had enough rest over the holidays, you are going to need it!!

See you on the 5th!

New year, ample opportunities and more blessings 🙏

I’m Michaela Marcks, a grade 2 Literacy teacher. I am known for always smiling, laughing and being extremely loud (can’t seem to whisper even if I knew how). I am always full of energy even when I am extremely run down (not sure if I was superwoman in my previous life) 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher when growing up, I’m glad I am currently living my dream. I thoroughly enjoy seeing my kids progress, it’s the best feeling knowing that I have played a role in their progress.

My hobbies include going to places I’ve never been before, trying new things and above all else, growing my faith as a Christian woman.

TEACHING:
“A profession that only allows you to say about 10% of what you really want to say out loud.” 🤪

ps: wishing everyone a fruitful year ahead 🌻

A young, humble, fun Zulu girl. Here’s a little story a lot of people don’t know about me. I like staying in my little corner and mind my business, the closer you get to me the more you’ll see that I’m a kind and loving person. I’m always laughing and making sure that the people around me are smiling too. Those who know me usually say I’m crazyMmh 🤔

My journey at Spark began in April 2022 as a BLF in grade 6. It has been an amazing experience to work with the team that I have in grade 6 And the other cresta members who I’ve gotten to know.

I like travelling and exploring. basically I love nice things and having fun shame🤌 I love eating and cooking. I am family oriented and I love kids.

This year what I am hoping to achieve is to grow and get a better position and hope to serve my scholars in my best ability and ensure that they are set up for success.

I am hoping Cresta family can be united and be a healthy environment we all look forward to working at😊 have a lovely year everyone

Hellow Reader 😊

My name is Sithembiso Dladla, SPARK Cresta's school security and I am a proud Crestonite.
My journey at SPARK began in 2020 in the midst of lockdown level 4! 😬

Although the pandemic was one of the terrible of times in human history, there was a silver lining we pushed through, worked together and persevered. Our bonds were forged through hardships and uncertainty that today makes us so strong and appreciative of each other.

I enjoy working with everyone at SPARK Cresta, I am so lucky that my position allows me to interact with all staff members on a regular basis and I know everyone by name, surname, grade and everybody is just a warm cup of sunshine 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
because SPARK Cresta Rocks.
This is going to be a GREAT year.

PS. I will be conducting Walkie Checks on Friday the 20th so yeah, I will call your name and surname 🚶🚶🚶

Happy New Year Team🥳

I'm Miss Diba aka Miss Diva 😉 LL BLF. I joined SPARK as a Supervisor in 2016 at SPARK Cresta. I moved to Centurion for a BLF role in 2017, 2018 I transferred back to SPARK Cresta.

I'm a lady of few words, very introverted. It takes a lot for me to open up.

I'm obsessed with home decor & fashion.

In people's eyes, I'm the "party girl" but in my world, I'm a "couch and bed" girl (looks can be deceiving) 😉

🥂To a SPARKling 2023..

Hi everyone ! 🌸 I am Ms L. Bahadur, I am currently the Literary teacher in Grade 5. I joined SPARK Cresta in September of 2022. Being a Crestonite is fairly new to me, however I am enjoying every experience at SPARK.

Let me tell you abit about me, before joining SPARK, I stayed in a small town called Howick which is located in KwaZulu Natal. I graduated in 2021 and I had always dreamt about being apart of SPARK. I give all my praise and glory to the man above for allowing me to be apart of the SPARK team/family.

During my free time, I love to relax, I enjoy going out and doing adventurous activities or things that I wouldn’t be able to do on a regular. I am a Christian woman who wakes up each morning thanking God for everything he has provided for me.

My goals for 2023 include the following: I want to be the best version of myself as an educator and improve on my teaching and learning abilities. This year is the year for me to grow and put myself out there in order to develop my character. I want to incorporate new methods of teaching which will ensure that education is fun and exciting for all my scholars.

My motto for 2023: One hundred years from now it won’t matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account nor what my clothes looked like … but the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child. 🌻✨

Wishing everyone a prosperous 2023

I'm Sibongokuhle "Ccy" Ngubane. A loving and selfess wife to be and mother of 2 (currently going through a frisson of excitement as i'm about to welcome my second born).

My journey at SPARK Cresta started in May 2022 as a Literacy Teacher. As a first time teacher, I have to say that this has been one of my greatest learning experience(s).

I have a very expensive hobby; shopping lol.  I'm a self-taught dress-maker so during my spare time I sew. I love spending time with people who are very dear to me.  One thing a lot of people don't know about me is that i'm a very spiritual person.

I strongly associate myself with the element 'fire' as I believe it signifies energy and passion. Similarly to fire, i'm very dynamic, strong, active, and have an innate need to express myself. I'm brave and impulsive, I'm always the first to take the initiative without thinking twice and live life with contagious enthusiasm and have a lot of grit.

For the year 2023, my motto is "good, better, best.
I will never rest until my good is better and my better best"

Hello everyone

My name is Nobuhle Hlathi and Im a foundation phase BLF. I'm quite an ancestor at Spark, lol. I'm loud and a  big vibe, I am a wine addict, because I really love Jesus Christ, and I praise him with his very own drink.  I'm sure by now you can tell that I'm full of jokes, life is honestly just too much for me to take it seriously and sober haha.

Most people would describe me as an extrovert coz Im extremely loud but if you pay careful attention you'll notice that I am very private. I love reading and writing, I'm a bit too obsessed with Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

I really have nothing profound to say about myself, I'm just a normal person trying to make the best out of life and be happy, also I may be nicely dressed once or twice a month, it's really isn't a big deal, avoid throwing a compliment coz I most probably know haha. #Jokes

Oh work stuff. Lol I work smart, not hard and I have an extremely soft spot for our babies/clients...

See yall tomorrow baddiez.

Seasonal greetings..

My name is Christine Lerato Ratlebyane and I am excited to be joining the team as a grade 7 Literacy teacher.

I’ve been an assistant manager(Retail) for the past 3 years before graduating with my Bachelor of Education in senior and FET phase, however, my passion for teaching goes beyond phases. I’ve learned a lot through my experience and I would like to keep challenging myself and growing my skills. I believe my skills, qualities and strong work ethic are a great match for the school culture .

I’m a mother to a beautiful baby boy, whom I adore so much. There are wonderful days when I feel my cup runneth over. There are days that I want to run away and question every decision I have ever made. I wouldn’t trade the rollercoaster ride for anything. Last I love watching series, actually I’m a binge-watcher.

My 2023 Goal  is to build my

scholars confidence and take ownership of their own personal goals. I want them to remember this mantra - You are not in a competition with anyone but yourself!

Im leaving your with these words..

Always remember why you started on this journey and you will never forget the importance of having to finish strong!
