Originally from Pretoria, Gauteng, Viviers brings a unique perspective to her role, with nearly a decade’s worth of teaching experience under her belt.

It is a responsibility, answering a calling and possessing a passion-fuelled desire to excel and leave a legacy that transcends one’s career,” she comments while expressing her excitement about joining the school. In her new role, Viviers looks forward to meeting new families, collaborating with innovative teachers, and leveraging her experience to strengthen the school’s sense of community.

Her strong vision for the school aligns with Curro’s commitment to a 21st-century education and she emphasises the importance of play as a serious learning mechanism. “Through play, young learners ignite their love for learning and ensure it continues throughout the academic journey. Learning through play provides an excellent educational foundation, preparing learners with essential skills as they progress to Grade R,” she adds.

Commenting on the new appointment, Christiaan Maree, Executive Head at Curro Century City, also expressed his enthusiasm for having Viviers join the school’s leadership team. “Everyone at the school extends their warmest welcome to Noeline.
