The Kyalami Schools Group has welcomed their new CEO.
Taking over from previous CEO Tom Hamilton, Gavin Esterhuizen begins his tenure in the new position with a vast history in education. The Kyalami Schools Group comprises schools such as Kyalami Preparatory School, Beaulieu Preparatory School, and Beaulieu College.
Esterhuizen has not only built his educationalist resume in South Africa but also the United Kingdom. He was senior deputy principal at Jeppe High School for Boys before taking up the deputy head of academics position at St Andrew’s School for Girls.
Since 2015, he has been executive head at Nova Pioneer Ormonde where he established the first junior and high schools in the Nova Pioneer Group and where he served as a member of the Nova Pioneer Global Team.
Ian Wright, group head of marketing for the Kyalami School Group sang the praises of the new CEO and the role he would bring to the group.
“We believe that Gavin’s past performance in a variety of school and educational settings, especially those that require strategic development, quality assurance and an understanding of educational excellence in a variety of cultural settings, will stand him in good stead in his new role,” he said.
Esterhuizen holds an MA in educational leadership and management from the University of London Institute of Education, a Bachelor of Education honours Cum Laude from the University of Johannesburg, and an HDE (human development of education) from the Pretoria College of Education and the Johannesburg College of Education.
