Principal Sinyosi wins excellence leadership award

The principal of Dzata secondary school, Mrs Luvhalani Bridget Sinyosi, recently won an award for excellence in secondary leadership during the 20^th national teaching awards ceremony at the Ranch Hotel outside Polokwane.

Sinyosi is principal for 1 756 learners and 51 teaching staff at Dzata Secondary School in Vhutuwangadzebu Nzhelele.

In an interview with Limpopo Mirror, Sinyosi dedicated her award to all female principals in South Africa, “You can excel against all odds. Work hard and go the extra mile,” she said.

When asked how she felt, Sinyosi said that she was very happy because it was a huge achievement. “I was competing with the best principals from nine districts in Limpopo. Receiving this award in front of all those academics, MECs, DDGs, District directors, circuit managers, and other participants from various categories made me cry; it was too much for me.”

Sinyosi became the principal of Dzata in 2013 and since then the school’s performance has been more than an 86% pass rate in Grade 12. “We achieve this through hard work, working as a team. We believe in academic excellence and developing the whole child. We also believe in teamwork.”
