The Pillars of Our School: Our People
Leadership Philosophy
Leading with Integrity: Mr. Tela
Under the guidance of Mr. Tela, our staff operates as a unified family. His leadership style is rooted in the school motto, ensuring that Truth Above All Things is not just a slogan, but a lived experience for every staff member and learner.
A Collaborative Workforce
Our staff is divided into two vital wings that work in harmony to achieve "Excellence and Equity for All":
| Academic Excellence (41 Educators) | Operational Strength (33 Non-Teaching) |
| Our 41 educators are lifelong learners. They do more than teach; they mentor, coach, and inspire. With the 2026 expansion, they have embraced the challenge of larger class cohorts while maintaining the high academic standards established since 1892. | Our 33 support staff members are the "silent engine" of Transkei Primary. From the administrative heart of the office to the meticulous care of our green quads and the new Preppies wing, they ensure our infrastructure matches our academic ambition. |
Staff Commitment to our Mission
