Mr. Richard Bergh

Name: Mr. Richard Bergh

Teaching responsibility:  Grade 4 Homeroom teacher

Qualifications: National Professional Diploma in Education

Years of teaching experience: 18 years

Country of origin: South Africa

My interests and hobbies:

What I love most about my work as a teacher: Bringing students to a point of enlightenment regarding a topic they previously did not understand.
My personal belief about teaching:  

Teaching is a calling and a responsibility. “Even the emperor had a teacher”(Chinese proverb), which would seem to emphasize the importance of a teacher in society, but to me it places great responsibility on the teacher, because if the emperor is bad, one could argue that his teacher is to blame.

My promise to my students and their parents:  

I promise to do my best to:

1.      Be a role model that will inspire you/your children to become good citizens of this country and the world.

2.      Teach you/them to think for themselves.

3.      Teach you/them how to learn and not simply “what” to learn
