Amina Bagus-DuToit

Being able to educate, nurture, uplift and impart knowledge is a privilege. I love what I do and wish to share my knowledge and expertise with others. Having taught adults, teenagers and young children over the last 25+ years in South Africa and the UK, it is safe to say that teaching is my calling.

What I love most about my job is the social interaction and being able to make a positive difference in the life of my learners and colleagues. After running and leading a school for almost 15 years, I am looking forward to teaching and traveling.

PRINCIPAL and Teacher Darun Na'im Academy (High School), Cape Town The school was established in 2009. In the almost 15 years of the school's existence and under my leadership, it has achieved many academic accolades and awards. It has developed into an acknowledged centre of learning and excellence by the Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) and community. I have taught History, Life Orientation, Physical education, and Islamic History over the years. My favourite subject to teach is History as History is my passion! My involvement with our learners extends beyond the classroom as I am involved in extra murals and enrichment programs too.

Viz Eco club: taking an interest in the environment; Wanderlust Club: developing an interest of the world, people, places cultures and food in our learners.
