| | | Celebrating all the special women of BSI | | Happy Women's Month | |
| As we already find ourselves in the month of August, we in South Africa, honour and celebrate the women in our community through Women’s Month. We kick off this month by recognising and showing appreciation for our two youngest ladies at BSI, who are both in their final year of high school and most definitely are enjoying their time here. Let’s get to know Stacey-Lee van Gent and Yaone Mokgatle, two girls who are in their final year with us. |
Stacey-Lee van Gent
Final year - GED |
BSI has made me want and strive to be healthy and active, but also helped me be more dedicated to my goals with the help of both the staff and coaching team.
I have definitely become more confident and both my mental and physical game are improving.
Handling my academic studies and golf was hard in the beginning but now I’m doing really well in both.
Everyone is always ready to help if asked. With the team you always feel supported to do well.
There are many bonds at BSI that make it almost like a second home.
With the friendship bonds you build here, you can always have fun and be pushed to be the best you can be.
Put your mind to it and you can accomplish anything! |
| Stacey-Lee will be joining our PGA Diploma next year. |

The coaches have really helped me set realistic goals to work towards, as well as helped me gain a lot of confidence within my game. The Study Centre has done an amazing job with giving us the attention that’s needed and making me feel beyond confident to ask if I have any questions at all.
My confidence is something that has really improved since coming to BSI and my golf game has improved just as much, which probably has to do with my confidence.
I tend to be a little behind in my schoolwork when I have tournaments during the week and weekends as well, but with the facilitators always checking up I’m able to catch up every time. School isn’t a problem for me in terms of the pressure therefore the time I put into my sport isn’t affected.
I’m not a very social student but I am able to communicate to have good conversations with other students and have a laugh. I think everyone is extremely friendly and as for the coaches, they are very easy to talk to and make me feel extremely supported.
I am having a lot of fun at BSI. There’s plenty of memorable moments I’ve had here. Renée Reinecke and her energizer activities have a lot to do with that. I love how close and supportive everyone at BSI is and the atmosphere when everyone’s around is great. Nobody is ever left out. |

To all women, Happy Women’s month! |
