26 Jan, 2023

Waterford Kamhlaba’s new principal, Jackie Otula, has already asumed her duties.

Announced by the College’s Governing Council (GC) in November 2022, Otula embodies qualities of an outstanding leader who values teamwork and holds firmly to the United World College (UWC) values such as intercultural understanding, mutual responsibility, and respect. Addressing WK’s opening assembly on Wednesday 25 January 2023, Principal Otula mentioned that she was here because she believes in the UWC mission of making education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

Jackie joins Waterford from Mpesa Foundation Academy in Kenya, where she was the functional equivalent of a Deputy Principal. “There, as well as in her previous appointments, she has proven herself to be a leader who embraces challenging projects, works with colleagues and community members to develop solutions, and guides implementation effectively,” says Dr Sibongile Gumbi, WK’s Chair of the GC.
