Sebatseeng Sefadi

I am a passionate and dedicated Physical Education teacher with experience in helping students improve their fitness, teamwork, and confidence. I specialise in creating fun and engaging lessons that encourage students to stay active and develop healthy habits. My skills include lesson planning, student assessment, and adapting activities to suit different abilities.

I have experience mentoring students in sports, extracurricular activities, and academic projects like CAS and extended essays. I am committed to student well-being and safety, ensuring a positive and inclusive learning environment. My goal is to inspire students to enjoy physical activity, build important life skills, and reach their full potential.

In my role at Jeddah Knowledge International School, I focused on developing age-appropriate physical fitness programmes for secondary school students (Years 8-12), aligning with IB standards. I encouraged students to participate in sports for health, leadership, and personal growth while implementing individualised fitness plans. I also used various assessment techniques to track progress, provided feedback, and promoted healthy living through wellness education.

Additionally, I played a key role in organising sports events and extracurricular activities, implementing safety protocols, and ensuring an inclusive learning environment.

At SPARK Schools Kempton Park, I taught Grades 2 to 5, ensuring students developed fundamental physical skills and positive attitudes toward fitness. I followed structured lesson plans while also incorporating creative movement, sportsmanship, and teamwork. I implemented assessment strategies to measure student progress, provided constructive feedback, and helped maintain a safe and engaging learning space.

Beyond teaching, I have served as a CAS, Extended Essay, and Personal Project Supervisor, mentoring students in academic and extracurricular activities. I oversee badminton afterschool programmes and have experience organising and supervising school sports events. My role as a residence leader and admin assistant has strengthened my leadership, communication, and organisational skills.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sport Psychology and Honours in Sport Management from the University of Johannesburg. My academic background has equipped me with a deep understanding of both the psychological and management aspects of sports, which I apply in my teaching to enhance student performance and well-being. I continue to build on this foundation through professional development, staying current with the latest trends and best practices in education and physical education.
