After matriculating, she completed undergraduate studies and a teaching diploma at Wits University, qualifying as a high school English and History teacher. After some years of teaching in a state and an independent school, she was appointed as one of the principals of The King’s School Robin Hills, an independent school of 720 learners. She has responsibility for realising the school’s values of ‘academic excellence’ and ‘maximising the potential of every learner’. As such she leads curriculum development and the implementation of the outcomes-based National Curriculum; manages and conducts staff training; and keeps abreast of educational policy and trends both in South Africa and internationally. With the introduction of inclusive education in South Africa, Elizabeth commenced part-time post-graduate studies through UNISA and completed a D.Ed in Inclusive Education. She has been involved in the practical implementation of inclusion at The King’s School and has addressed various groups of teachers and education managers on different aspects of inclusive education where she has been commended for her practical approach within the South African context. She is committed to the professional development of teachers and is keen to see them become “lifelong learners”. She is married to Grant and has three children
