With that in mind, St Benedict School’s head of primary school Gill Rayner made the decision to retire and start a new life at a farm in the Karoo and give back to poor communities.
Rayner and her husband, Michael Faster have made a mark in the teaching industry for the past three decades and hope to uplift the underprivileged children with their knowledge.
When Rayner was appointed as SBS head of primary she was working as a lecturer at Embury College, teaching young educators.
Being a person who loves sharing her knowledge, she said lecturing at the college was her way of giving back to the teaching industry.
Rayner has served the school for three years and said she has learnt so much and made special friendships with the staff, parents and the community.
“I will also miss the greetings from the learners. Children are so amazing, I always say that each child can shine his/her own light as they have so much potential and talents,” she said.
