VACANCY

Dear Old Boy

The Pretorian Trust is looking to appoint a manager to guide the trustees, develop a business plan and manage the fund-raising office. This is a part-time position, ideally suited to someone who has retired and who has a good knowledge of the school and what it stands for. The detailed job description is below.

Any Old Boy who is interested in applying for this position is welcome to contact the Association offices directly and give their curriculum vitae and a brief letter of interest to Mrs Inge Paulsen-Liddle at info@pbhsob.com

If you know anyone who would be suitable for this position, please encourage them to put in an application.

It is imperative that a school of our status has an active fund-raising office to support the school in its initiatives which include the repayment of the building loan used to complete the Library and Music Centre, future building projects and the all-important provision for bursaries for those who are otherwise unable to attend our school.

Kind regards
Tony Reeler (Headmaster)
