โHaving been a learner at Union, I have a strong understanding of its values and culture,โ Brett shared. โI am eager to foster an engaging and supportive learning environment for our learners.โ
Brettโs love for cricket is evident, as he has played varsity cricket for the past four years, alongside representing his province in his first year. His dedication to sports extends beyond personal achievement; he is committed to assisting and adding value on the sports field in any capacity. โ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ด ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐บ ๐ข ๐ค๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ, ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ช๐ฑ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ, ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฎ.โ
