OUR TEAM
EPWORTHIAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Epworthian Executive is comprised of a group of passionate, inspired and committed past girls who walk alongside Epworth School and the Foundation. We are also excited to be growing our list of chapter heads across the globe who will support and feedback to the Executive as they reunite Epworthians in their areas.
The role of the Epworthian Executive is aptly defined in this poem by Margie Odell:
Upholding our ethos, Our motto enshrined. Faithful, compassionate. Courageous and kind... We embrace and maintain Epworth’s glorious past. With all we hold dear. Making memories last! Beloved school. We serve you with love. Our vision. Our values. Led from above! O joyful light. Guiding our way. Leading us into. A bright new day!

Nadia Bhayat
Epworthian President (2023-)
My message to you as fellow Epworthians:
You all have a story, tell your
story. Be vulnerable. Face your fears. Make peace with the fact that people
hold a different version of you in their minds, who you know yourself to be
matters the most. Thrive just not survive. Surround yourself with people who
fuel your love for learning &bring joy to your life. Joy is the simplest
form of gratitude. Live with joy, believe in magic & giggle a lot. Giggles
are how the goodness oozes out. Cherish children, they are the footprints you
leave behind. Kindness is a superpower. Make the most of the AHA moments in
life. You only go round once so make it count. About all else be true to
yourself & live your best life. I’m cheering you on.
Jacqui Terblanche
Past Epworthian President (2018-2023)
A third generation Epworthian, Jacqui’s vision can be summarised as follows: Behind us are memories. Beside us are friends. Before us are possibilities. Jacqui’s daughter is currently in Grade 12.
Kenwyn Geyser

“Seven of the happiest years of my life were spent at Epworth! Friendships to this day remain strong, and we have bonds which can never be broken. I pray that the Epworth ethos will continue to make a difference to many. May we always seek to support the school’s mission, vision and values – and may our school maintain long-term financial security and be richly blessed."
