LEADERSHIP<br />
<strong>Crawford</strong> Preparatory Fourways<br />
When I grow up...<br />
“When I grow up, I want<br />
to be a CEO of a company<br />
or the first female South<br />
African president. Both<br />
these careers come with<br />
tremendous responsibilities<br />
and hard work, and time<br />
management is of the<br />
essence. You need to<br />
show compassion and be<br />
ethically sound. It is imperative to set goals at an early age and to live<br />
your dream. To be successful in a leadership role, you need to have<br />
extensive general knowledge and have your two feet firmly on the<br />
ground.” – Bohlale Molokomme<br />
“To be in sales is my dream career, and for that, you need to have<br />
strong leadership qualities. Sales is a highly competitive field, therefore,<br />
you need the ability to listen and have empathy for others as well as<br />
to have a solid work ethic. Leadership is the key to life and success.” –<br />
Enzo Andrighetto<br />
<strong>Crawford</strong> Preparatory Italia<br />
Embarking on a new journey is always<br />
challenging and needs the guidance of<br />
a competent leader. Mrs. Amy Venter<br />
was the chosen one to take <strong>Crawford</strong><br />
Italia along this venture. Mrs. Venter is<br />
passionate about teaching and learning<br />
and her expertise in these will ensure<br />
that we achieve the ultimate goal of<br />
accreditation with IB. Mrs. Venter can be<br />
assured of the support of each and every<br />
member of the Italia staff.<br />

Look how we have grown!<br />
In 2014 <strong>Crawford</strong> Italia opened with a mere nine<br />
staff members. Look at us now! We’ve grown to<br />
a contingent of 30 academic, support and admin<br />
staff. Each and every one of them is a true leader<br />
and expert in their field. At this rate, Italia will<br />
soon be the size of our sister campuses.<br />

La Lucia<br />
A leader is not just someone who<br />
carries out a duty assigned to them,<br />
sometimes a leader is someone who<br />
quietly assumes responsibility and takes<br />
charge. <strong>Crawford</strong> Preparatory La Lucia<br />
Grade 6 student Matthew Norton is one<br />
such leader. He took it upon himself to<br />
take care of a new pupil that was having<br />
a difficult time adjusting to a foreign<br />
country. Matthew ensured that the little<br />
boy was not alone at break and included<br />
in all activities, helping him to find the<br />
right books to help him with his English and most importantly,<br />
Matthew ensured that he felt welcomed and was part of his class<br />
and school. Matthew is a true <strong>Crawford</strong>ian.<br />
