Welcome all new, existing and potential students
Cornerstone Greetings, Beverley Dankers Director of Student Services
What a privilege to greet you with the warmest Cornerstone greetings. Education is more than critical thinking, and goes beyond merely understanding – it is the ability to share connections between the self and others, simultaneously, collectively, and concomitantly. This interchange between you, me, us, and them, is such an exciting process; one which we work to make enriching and rewarding for you.
During this process of engagement, our wish for you is that you grow in all areas of life so that you will always see yourself as a person of value, having greatness on offer for the benefit of the world. We feel extremely honoured to be part of our students’ growth into value-driven individuals with a heart for people, the community, South Africa and the world. Our alumni are known to be active change agents, some as leaders in society, and others making a difference wherever they find themselves. Knowing we have in some way played a role in this is the richest privilege we can experience as educators.
Martin Luther King, Jnr, wrote, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” Our hope is that your time at Cornerstone would conclude with an outcome of true education. Thank you for trusting us to partner with you as we together change our world for the better!
