School: St.George’s School Munich

A passion for the greater good.

Ms. vom Orde has been an integral part of our school since its inception. As a passionate German teacher in our Primary School, she brings a unique perspective to the classroom, having grown up and studied in South Africa. 

“I can leverage my own experience when I work with our international students, especially those navigating a new country and language. I´ve been through all of that myself.”

Beyond her role in education, Ms. vom Orde dedicates significant time and effort to serve her community as a paramedic with the Bavarian Red Cross. Every week, she attends events in Munich, standing ready to provide medical assistance where needed. Her commitment extends beyond the ordinary, having undergone extensive training to enhance her skills in first aid, and become a paramedic team leader.

For her outstanding volunteering contribution, she recently received the "München dankt!" award from the city of Munich.

Ms. vom Orde's dedication to her community is exemplified by the 500+ hours she contributed to first aid last year alone. Her commitment serves as a shining example, encouraging us all to give our time and passion for the greater good.
