Renéve Carol Shatar-adolf
A teacher who was born in Paarl, Western Cape (29 May 1983). She is a South African who dedicates her entire life to education in developing and educating the young generation into successful educated citizens.
EARLY LIFE
Renéve started her schooling at St Albans in 1989 to 1995 from grade 1 to grade 7. She then went to Bergrivier High School from 1996 to 1998, doing her Grade 8 to Grade 10. Her family decided to take her to Intec College and she did her online learning in 1999 but she could not register and write her examinations for that year.
The following year in 2000, she then decided to go for evening school where she was registered under Bergrivier High School to write her Matric Examination and accumulated her matric that year.
In 2001 Renéve enrolled at Koinonia Community Center for short courses; Office Admin, Life Skills, Baking Skills and Computer Literacy for a year.
PERSONAL LIFE
Renéve was named after a lady in Cape Town who attended the same church as her mother. The name means "Rebirth" or "Reborn," which is fitting given the circumstances of her survival. At the age of two, Renéve was found drowning in a basin that her mother used for rinsing clothes; it was filled with water. A neighbor discovered her unconscious and already turning blue. Her mother quickly rushed her to a nearby house, just two doors down. There, Renéve managed to cough up the water and regained consciousness.
CAREER
In 2001, while studying, she began working as a waitress at Spur in Paarl. During her time there, she met Mr. Willem De Klerk and his family, whom she served each time they visited the restaurant. She worked at Spur for five years, from 2001 to 2005.
While working at Spur, she reached out to her former teacher, Mr. Kroneberg, at Bergrivier High School for assistance with her studies. Mr. Kroneberg referred her to the Dean of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Wellington and arranged an appointment for her. This meeting was successful, and she subsequently enrolled in the Bachelor’s Degree in Education (BEd) program, focusing on the intermediate and senior phases, at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology's Wellington Campus from 2004 to 2007.
In 2006, she left Spur to work at Chello’s fast food restaurant while balancing her studies. In 2008, Renéve began her teaching career at Wellington High School, where she worked for one year. From July to December 2009, she served as a residential teacher at Wellington Youth Care Centre, which has since been renamed Wellington School of Skills in 2017.
From March to December 2010, she moved to Johannesburg, Gauteng, to work at McBain Charles Primary School. In December of that same year, she got married. The following year, in 2011, she moved to Strydenburg, Northern Cape, where she found a job as a teacher at Petrusville High School, serving in that role until January 2013.
She got another job after leaving her previous position at Hopetown in the Northern Cape. She worked at Oranje-Diamant Primary School from February 2013 to December 2013. In December of the same year, she discovered she was pregnant with her second child and decided to move to Wellington so she could give birth at Paarl Hospital in February 2014. After giving birth, she returned to the Northern Cape later that same month.
In March 2014, she began working at Strydenburg Combined School and continued until December 2016. After that, she moved back home to Wellington in the Western Cape, where she started working at Dal Josaphat Primary School in Paarl for a year in 2017.
In 2018, she returned to work at Wellington High School for a year. Then, in February 2019, she began a three-week stint at Mary Help of Christians Catholic School in Paarl.
