WELCOME MR. MARTIN Joining us on Campus Mr. Martin Koch, the new Executive Manager of Cape Town Campus. Mr Martin started his career in the Sport and Tourism department at the Technicon Witwatersrand ( now part of the UJ) afterwhich he moved over to managing higher education campuses and brands. He previously worked for Advtech and Educor. When we first met Mr. Koch, the first question we could think to ask him was, why? Why IHS? ’I enjoy working with students and the commercial aspect of running a campus. IHS has a reputation of producing five star quality students and I want to be a part of living and growing the campus. Toursim is one of the priority sectors idenified for growing the country's economy - to create more jobs. It is fantastic sector to be part of, especially in the Western Cape and a company where I can help young South African's to achieve their dreams.’ – Martin Koch Mr. Koch, What is your life Motto? ’I don't have one of those -I think one change as you grow and therefore should your outlook on life. As a sport enthusiast I do however apply "Citius, Altius, Fortius" or Faster, Higher , Stronger - the Olympic Mottor in all aspects of my life - religion, work, sport and family. Mr. Martin Koch, the new Executive Manager of The International Hotel School Cape Town Campus. Pierre de Coubertin adopted these words as the Olympic Motto, from a collegue who used sport dicipline as a powerful educational tool. We all deserve the "freedom of excess" and this motto gives all athletes and therefore myself and everybody else the freedom to dare and try to break records. It is not about winning it is about participating and giving your best.’ – Martin Koch 2
IHS SKILLS LAUNCHED !! Introducing IHS Skills, this initiative created by Hendrik P. Brand, showcases student skills and masterpieces created on campus or at home. Follow our Facebook Page at @IHSSKILLS and post or tag your skilfully created creations using the Foodie app. ‘After attending private events and creating a few original cocktails for a private bar, I came up with the idea for IHS Skills. Our students are creating masterpieces daily, however, no one gets to see it. Potential employers are left in the dark and sponsors are unaware. I am pleased to announce that the skills campaign will be relaunching on the 8 th of April. I encourage students to post their creations on this Facebook Page. This will get your name out in the cyber world and as an added bonus students who receive a scale of 8:1 likes on their posts will receive a reward sponsored by the SRC during BA-term end. However, we won’t just stop there. Come May we hope to host the first ever IHS Skills Competition. CA students will have a cookoff (Chopped style) and HM students will have a cocktailoff. Invitations for this competition will be sent out soon to all students. There will of course be prizes for the winners and runner-up.” - Hendrik P. Brand This initiative has already gained popularity and will be going national soon. We would also like all students to ensure that they follow the official Cape Town Campus Facebook Page @ihs.CapeTown.campus - The Riff 3
