We are delighted to announce that Ms. Phuti Mogale has been appointed as the Head of Senior School and will assume her responsibilities on 1 July 2025.
Ms. Mogale has a Bachelor of Laws degree from Wits University, and Certificate in Practical legal Training from UNISA. She also holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (Senior and FET Phase) from UNISA. She is currently the Deputy Headmistress and Head of Boarding at St Mary’s Waverley.
Ms Mogale is deeply passionate about educating the girl child. As a product of Waverly Girls, where she was a student leader, she went on to study law before choosing to pursue education. She has started teaching and quickly found herself appointed to leadership positions in Bryanston High, Pretoria High School for Girls and St Mary’s School Waverley. She enjoyed successful and respected tenures in these spaces. She deeply understands the dynamics of the Girls’ Independent Schools sector from multiple vantage points and recognises the expected rigour of our environment.
Through the leadership programmes that she runs, within the schools that she has worked in and in collaboration with other schools, Ms Mogale is widely respected by the educational community. On hearing of her appointment, the outgoing Head of Senior School, Ms Roberts was delighted saying that she is such a fabulous fit for Roedean since during their interactions, they share so many philosophical and practical ideals.
