Saying farewell to our HODs

ELIZABETH JOSEPH
By Jemimah Mangaba

It is a sad time for Academia Secondary School as we bid farewell to two of our very own teachers, parents, mentors and guardians Mr A. Beukus and Mrs Z. Steenkamp.

Mr Beukus

Mr Beukus is the head of department for science and mathematics. He is the Physical Science and Chemistry teacher for the grades 10 to 12 and also an author. He has been of great contribution to the school, especially the junior grades with his mathematics and physical science workbooks. He has been teaching at the school for over a decade and during his time at the school he was also responsible for the disciplinary records of learners.

His absence will be felt amongst the rest of the teachers and especially the seniors of the school who receive lessons for him.

Mrs Steenkamp

Mrs Steenkamp is a computer teacher and head of department for commerce at the school. She has been teaching at Academia Secondary School for 26 years and during this time she has made a huge difference in the life of her learners and fellow colleagues. She is also responsible for setting up school timetables and also invigilation timetables for absent teachers. She was also the person behind all the acceptance of learners that attend Academia secondary school.

On behalf of the school, we pray that God’s abundant love, grace and mercy shall be with them on their new journeys. Thank you, Mrs Steenkamp and Mr Beukus for your hard work and contribution to Academia.
