renewed focus on the whole girl, so wellness
initiatives are going to be huge," van Harden-
burg says. "
"One of the things we're most focused on at
the moment is our wellness program, and
caring for environment is a huge part of that.
Raising girls who are global citizens, with an
outlook that embraces their responsibility to
something bigger than themselves. Starting
with that individual level, the ability to take
care of oneself."
Looking towards the future of St Margaret's
School, van Hardenburg says the goal is to
elevate the school's reputation for excellence
on a global scale, and cement themselves as
the prominent choice for all-girls boarding
schools.
"We're already internationally known," she
says. "I want us to be internationally re-
nowned as a centre for girls learning and
leadership. Locally, we're a little bit hidden
away on our beautiful campus, which is one
of our big strengths, but at times it can make
it easy for people to forget about us but here
we are with over 100 years of teaching excel-
lence."
"I want us to be at the forefront of peoples'
minds," van Hardenburg concludes.
