Meet your campus principal: Pretoria CBD

Situated in the heart of Pretoria, also known as Tshwane, is our Rosebank College Pretoria CBD campus.

Let's meet the principal Franco Da Silva.

What would most people be surprised to learn about you?

I enjoy sport and gardening.

What do you love most about your job?

Seeing students grow from 1st year "starters" to being professional employable graduates.  I also enjoy working with students to become solutions driven individual as opposed to problem focused.

What motto do you live by?

I have three.

• Never react, always respond. It is a lot easier to react, than to think and then decide what to do
• It's not what you have in your life, but rather who you have in your life that really matters
• Our background, traditions and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for what we become now and going forward.

What do you do in your spare time?

I spend time with my family, especially in the outdoors. I play Golf and Tennis and I get involved in mentoring, especially on the ADVTECH Mentoring Programme.

How long have you been principal?

10 years

What are you looking forward to the most in 2018?

The new cohort of students, engaging with my returning students and graduation, where we see students achieve their life long dreams.
