Richfield Umhlanga campus

Words honestly fall short when I try to express what it feels like to finally graduate, A bittersweet moment knowing we are leaving campus. It’s been a rollercoaster , some days felt like standing in the middle of a storm, unsure of what’s ahead, while others were filled with moments that I’ll carry with me forever.

One of the most grounding constants through it all was Mr. Sharen Singh, the Umhlanga campus manager. If there’s ever been a mentor who leads with empathy, understanding, and genuine care, it’s him. Always accommodating, always encouraging, and always willing to listen, even when we were a handful, all while making it the most enjoyable experience. Making sure we always had a good time, always catering and including each and every individual!

To the lecturers… your kindness, the tough love, commitment, and quiet belief in us made all the difference. I’ll always be thankful for every lesson you shared (including the bad jokes), the gentle guidance during stressful times, and even the late-night replies when we needed support the most. You helped shape our confidence, built our resilience, and reminded us to keep going, even when things felt overwhelming.

At Richfield it's more than just a degree :) To everyone who’s been part of this journey, thank you. Can’t wait to return one day as part of the alumni and share all the stories this degree has led me to. Much love always. <3
