Airbnb CEO:
winning an argument is never more important than preserving the relationship.
Imagine if there were NO journalists to investigate and NO newsrooms to write and share and NO news sharers whether print or online. Imagine…
@Investec Group Chief Executive, Fani Titi, reminds that ‘Education is the most catalytic enabler for long term change’. Like Investec our schools are focused on making our communities better, day by day. @StDavids_Marist

AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING TO arrive at @StDavids_Marist Cricket Fields on a Saturday morning and the Ground Staff have managed to overcome the previous nights storms 🌧️ and challenges 💨 , to have all
pitches dry and ready to play outfields…
Well done to the unsung hero’s of pitch and ground preparations… #respect #groundsmen #realcare #passion
A great way to start a year - with affirmation for teaching for the young people our partner Realema is developing as ‘on the job’ interns. @StDavids_Marist is proud to be a partner school

My two cents worth - basketball and the lessons it teaches

Great excitement in final preparations for today’s official opening and blessing of the @StDavids_Marist satellite campus in Alexandra - a new model that brings access to excellence in education close to home for so many more boys than before!
The real reward for quality teachers like yourself - seeing the seeds planted at school growing in vibrant and exciting directions. Allowing each boy to grow into the unique individual he is meant to be. Well done to you both @StDavids_Marist
When your past pupil Garrick Pagel sends you his final Masters play script to read, and your heart explodes with pride... @StDavids_Marist

Incredibly worrying is the stat showing that South Africans have the highest awake hours percentage of screen time in the world! #combined2023 # SAHISA
“You are determiner of architecture of your brain” says @BrainGuruSA #combined2023 #SAHISA on profound impact of passive vs active screen time & of negative nature of repetitive actions even if active. We must build better screen habits for wellbeing in children… and in us!
“Bullying is the action - not the cause” - Schimmel and Fein offer critical discussion at #combined2023 #SAHISA Are zero tolerance bullying policies the answer? Or rather a focus on restorative practices to curb this scourge… in our society, far wider than just at schools!
While the cliche ‘Hurt people hurt people’ is the cause, don’t blame tech for increased bullying, but acknowledge it provides connection & access to emotional wellness. Children learn what they live -schools must ensure they live with acceptance and support. #combined2023 #SAHISA
“Rigid bullying policies don’t equalize power - and they certainly don’t allow for discussions to clear issues - they just flip the power to the victim.” Excellent input at #combined2023 #SAHISA conference
A new word for Monday morning!
@A2bSchultz wants us to implement OOCZ - getting OUT OF COMFORT ZONE, to any unfamiliar or challenging situation as that is what develops new skills/perspectives. OOCZ is where change and learning happens #combined2023 #SAHISA
