I began my learning journey at Froggy Pond, where I was fortunate to be guided by the wonderful Mrs. Enslin. Being among the first group of students there was a special experience one that laid a strong and beautiful foundation for the rest of my life.

At Froggy Pond, I learned so much not just academically, but personally too. My handwriting improved, I was introduced to swimming at an early age, and most importantly, I experienced a safe and nurturing school environment, free from bullying. The small, focused classes created a sense of belonging and allowed each of us to truly thrive.

After Froggy Pond, I went on to attend Petra for Grade 3, and later continued my education at the Dominican Convent all the way through to Form 6. I then pursued my studies at the National University of Science and Technology, where I earned an Honours Degree in Computer Science, graduating with an Upper Second Class.

Today, I’m married and settled, stepping into this next chapter of life with gratitude and excitement for what the future holds. Looking back, I know those early years at Froggy Pond played a big part in shaping the confident, capable person I’ve become.

My name is Avumilamandla S. Dube and I’m a proud former Froggy Pond student. Funny how the years have flown by so quickly!

I started at Froggy Pond in 2013 as a bright-eyed Grade One pupil in Mrs Enslin’s class. She was the one who taught me how to read and write—skills that became the foundation of everything I’ve achieved since.

I completed my Grade 7 in 2020 with the amazing Mrs. Jassat. That year, I achieved 6 units in my final exams—my first big academic milestone!

Navigating Grade 7 during a global pandemic wasn’t easy, but thanks to the unwavering support of all the wonderful FP teachers, I made it through.

Looking back, those seven years were truly the best—filled with learning, laughter and unforgettable memories.

After Froggy Pond, I went on to Form 1 at Dominican Convent High School.

In 2023, I moved to the United Kingdom—a big change that felt overwhelming at first but I didn’t let that stop me. I worked hard, wrote my O Levels in 2024, and passed with excellent grades.

In September 2024, I began my A Levels at The Arnewood School. I’m thrilled to share that I was recently selected as Deputy Head Girl. This selection required many applications and interviews and is another huge achievement I’m incredibly proud of!

I hope to begin studying Medicine at university in 2026. I honestly can’t wait to take that next step!

My journey, which began at Froggy Pond, has been nothing short of amazing. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Enslin, Mrs Jassat and all the other teachers who helped build the strong foundation I stand on today.

A message to all current Froggy Pond students;

Work hard, dream big and always remember to “leave a sparkle wherever you go!” That’s a little gem of wisdom from Mrs Jassat which I carry with me every day.

Froggy Pond was a very nurturing community and learning environment for Lily.

In her last year she had built the confidence to participate in a public speaking competition and to self-publish a book she had been working on for several years.

We are very grateful for the solid foundation she received at Froggy Pond. When we relocated to Harare, it was not difficult to adjust to a much larger private school, thanks to the confidence that Froggy Pond instilled over the years.

Froggy Pond was where my love for learning was ignited.

As a member of the school’s first intake in 2005, I have many fond memories of my time in Grade 1 and 2.

The school’s curriculum was engaging and stimulating. I was fortunate to be part of a community that valued academic excellence and a holistic approach to learning. I remember being so far ahead of my peers when I moved to another primary school in Bulawayo that they even suggested I skip a grade. This is a testament of how well Mrs Enslin taught.

One of the standout aspects of Froggy Pond was its holistic approach to education. The school offered a diverse range of extracurricular activities, including swimming, karate, and wildlife club, which not only enriched my learning experience but also helped me develop new skills and interests.

I am particularly grateful for the exceptional coaching I received from Mrs Enslin in swimming, which laid the foundation for my future success. Her guidance and expertise helped me develop excellent swimming techniques. I am proud to say that I went on to represent my school and province in swimming competitions during my high school years.

What I loved most about Froggy Pond was the sense of community and inclusivity. The small class sizes allowed for personalised learning – I felt like I was part of a big family.

The school’s emphasis on extracurricular activities like swimming, karate, and wildlife club helped me develop new skills and interests and I appreciate the values and principles that Froggy Pond instilled in me.

Today, I’m proud to say that I’ve excelled in high school, earned a degree in Actuarial Science with a specialization in Quantitative Finance from the University of Cape Town and am working as a Murex Analyst at Standard Bank South Africa.

I am grateful for the foundation that Froggy Pond provided and I am proud to have given back to the school community by volunteering as a teacher’s assistant during my university holidays.

If you are looking for a school that will nurture your child’s passions and interests – I highly recommend Froggy Pond. It’s a special place that will leave a lasting impact on your child’s life.

I started in Grade 0 and liked being part of the school community right up to the middle of Grade Seven.

One of the best things about Froggy Pond was all of the different activities we got to do. I played sports like cricket, soccer, hockey and swimming and I was also part of the wildlife club and music. These things helped me find what I’m good at and what I enjoy.

What’s really cool about Froggy Pond is how well they prepare you for high school. In Grade Seven I decided to try to get into high school early and I applied to the Italian School of Lusaka which is one of the best schools in Zambia. Even though I hadn’t formally finished Grade Seven, I was accepted! This goes to show that Froggy Pond is a very good school.

I have just finished my first year of high school in Zambia. I am enjoying my classes, playing sports, participating in cultural activities, making new friends and happy to be learning new languages – particularly Italian. I hope to travel to Italy one day to test out my language skills and improve my Italian knowledge!

Froggy Pond taught me to be confident and try new things. I think it’s an amazing school and I would recommend it to others.
