Bio
Debbie De Koning
It was fantastic to work with Emma, she is an exceptional Admissions officer! Emma always goes the extra mile. She is always professional, methodical and dedicated with a strong work ethic. She is an outstanding proofreader and communicator with a keen eye for detail.

I have known Emma for about 8 years, but only more closely for the past 2 years. Our children went to primary school together and I never realised that she is the Admissions Officer at the high school that my daughter would eventually go to. Selecting a high school is a stressful process for any parent, as you really only want the best for your child. I was really happy with the initial introduction to the school, as I was with some other schools. However, when it came to the point of going through the process of getting the admissions paperwork done, Roedean was the only school that made sure everything was taken care of and the process was immediate, streamlined and nothing was ever forgotten. I didn't realise at the time this was happening, that the person was Emma. When I saw how my own application and logistics was taken care of, I dropped all other admissions to other schools and decided on Roedean. Why was this so important? I am a high functioning person, and I come with my own stresses and anxiety. Within the South African context, rarely, if ever, do you experience service that meets expectations or goes off without a hitch. Emma Shelver pretty much blows everyone else out of the water. She exceeded my expectations in dealing with our admission and subsequently with all school related communications. I don't ever say this about someone, but she is detailed and immediate. She cares a lot about what she does. When your nervous system is often on high alert expecting difficulty and trouble, this experience enables you to believe that your child is well taken care of. Emma, thank you. You deserve all this praise and more. You really made a difference to my life and you should be proud of how you have added to Roedean's culture.
