During my tour of Britannica last year, I asked a student what they enjoyed about the school, to which he responded; "It feels like being part of a big family." My experience so far has confirmed this comment. Upon graduating from the University of Cape Town, I worked as an ESL teacher in Shanghai from 2015 until joining Britannica last year. I quickly felt part of the Britannica family with being immersed in a positive teaching and learning environment wherein all members strive for progress and excellence.

Jaco Olivier
PE Teacher
B.ed. Intermediate & Senior
I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher and finished my degree in Education in 2017.
As a child, I had a few amazing teachers who taught me a lot when I was at school. This made me realize that I can also make a difference in other children’s lives. It is one of the best feelings to see the excitement in a child’s face when he or she succeeds at something. As an educator, I can help them to achieve their goals. I want to be remembered as the teacher who gave every child every chance, everyday.
I will be joining the Physical Education department at Britannica this year. I am very excited as I have always been passionate about sport, I firmly believe that physical education can have a huge impact on students, both physically and mentally. My goal at Britannica is to deliver engaging lessons, foster a love of sport and physical wellbeing and provide opportunities for students to develop their skills in different sports.
