Robynne De Wet

School Principal and Bear Class Teacher

I’m a blessed wife and a proud mom of 4 kiddies. My husband and I adopted our eldest daughter Sophie in 2016, soon after that we fell pregnant with another girl, Paige who was born in 2017 and then we were blessed with another little girl, Josie who was born in 2018. God wasn’t done with us yet, and at the beginning of 2022, we adopted our little boy, Samuel. Our family is full, fun, and filled with life, love, and lots of noise.

I joined the Junior Junction family as a mom in 2017, and as a substitute teacher in 2022 then became a full-time teacher in 2023. I am passionate about children walking into the fullness of what God has purposed for them. My heart is to create a safe space for kids to learn, grow and thrive.
