As a rural science student, one of Ms Zondo’s most memorable experiences was learning outside. She recalls being awestruck by the wonderful, healing properties of an aloe plant. Outdoor education piqued her interest as a youngster, and learning outside the classroom helped shape Ms Zondo into the innovative science teacher that St Stithians Girls’ Prep is fortunate to have today.
