Shadonai students rewarded

Six beauty students at the Shadonai Beauty School in Windhoek qualified as National and International Health and Skincare therapists at the end of November last year. They are Namibian students trained in Namibia and qualified in Namibia – ready for the Namibian beauty market. Shadonai is nationally accredited with NQA and internationally with City & Guilds and ITEC.

An external moderator is use to do the practical exam to ensure quality training as well as equality. Shadonai had a 100% pass rate for all first year and second year students in the national practical exams as well as the national theoretical exams. All the second years were declared competent on their international practical exams. While the results from London for their international theoretical exams will be out next week, Shadonai expects very good results.

In November 2007 Shadonai held a gala event where the best first- and second-year beauty students were announced. At the same occassion the first-year students had an evening make-up competition amongst themselves while the second years had a fantasy make-up competition – both with amazing results.
A Miss Shadonai was also elected among the first-year students and she will represent the school and students during her second year. At the gala the following students were rewarded:

• First-year make-up: Nolene Malan
• Second-year fantasy make-up: Natascha Reichstein
• Miss Shadonai 2007: Charnay Junius
• Practical first-year student: Janice Hanstein
• Theoretical first-year student: Charlin Lesch
• Most dedicated first-year student: Charlin Lesch
• Overall first-year student: Charlin Lesch
• Practical second-year student: Natascha Reichstein
• Theoretical second-year student: Mari Pieterse
• Most dedicated second-year student: Jolene Engelbrecht
• Overall second-year student: Natascha Reichstein The overall best students’ trophies were designed by Mr. Yohann Venter from Roots Importers.

He personally handed them to the students. Mr. Brent Richardson, representing the NQA, was the guest speaker at this prestigious event and he stressed that Namibians must be proud to pass their national examinations and that the national qualification is equally important to the international exam, if not more.

Besides the first year enrolments at Shadonai, students from other schools also enrolled at for their second and final year thanks to the high standard of training and the warm and caring atmosphere at the school. In 2008 Shadonai will strive to live up to their slogan “Leaders don’t follow” and still deliver quality to Namibia for Namibia.
