Caroline Motloba (Tsogo 1996)

Alumni Profile of Caroline Motloba

I started at Tsogo in 1990 doing standard 5(Grade 7) with the Marrian Middle School and matriculated in 1996 (Grade 12) I did my primary school in Mothotlung (where I was born) at Mokoena Primary School. Later I went and studied Internal Auditing at Pretoria Technikon. This choice of career was driven by my love for finance subjects and money of course, but I then realized that they were not motive enough; so I changed my course and studied Marketing Management. The deal was also that then we were encouraged to opt for careers that would make us ‘rich’, but I then learnt that for one to succeed and excel in their career they need to go for what they are passionate about and that’s when they will get to make that money.

Dear Friends of Tsogo,

We are very excited to give you a report-back on the careers expo we held at the school on Saturday September 26th 2009. We attach some pictures from the event and some notes on the presenters and companies.

We wish to thank all academic institutions, companies and their representatives, donors, alumni, teachers, vice principal, guidance teacher & rest of the faculty, Sr. Colmcille and the school, learners and all who assisted in the careers expo. You all sacrificed time out of your Saturday to spend the day imparting your knowledge to the learners of Tsogo Secondary School – we thank you!

There is a proverb that says that “the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago… the next best time is now!” We hope we have planted some trees of knowledge in the learners who attended the expo.

Thank you to all donors (esp. the Class of 1987 alumni group), supporters, online & social networking team, alumni society executive members and all involved in putting this event together. We hope you’ll enjoy the pictures presented to you in this report-back. You can also visit the website and the ‘Tsogo Scholars Past & Present‘ Facebook page for more pictures and comments.

Thank you once again for your care, interest and support. We welcome any feedback, thoughts and your suggestions on how we can improve on future expos.

Kind regards,

Thabo Ncalo
