Charmaine Baard
St Leonards College Masters Scholar | Netball
MSc TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages)
- Why St Andrews?
- I loved the idea of being able to further my education in one of the top institutions in the UK. I’ve always wanted to see more of the UK, especially Scotland. And St Andrews provided me with that specific opportunity. And I have a massive love for netball, and knowing that I could give some of what I’ve learned to others, appealed to me. And of course to be on court and play with young athletes, who unknowingly (or knowingly) will teach me so much about myself and the sport.
