Mr. Etienne van Aswegen, the new middle school teacher at RAS, hails from South Africa, where he completed his Bachelor of Education in Intermediate and Senior Phase. Most of his teaching experience was acquired in South Africa, with an additional year of international teaching experience in Cambodia.

His philosophy of education centers on the belief that all children are unique and should thrive in a stimulating educational environment, fostering growth in their physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions. For Mr. Etienne, teaching extends beyond the confines of the classroom.
