My name is Rodney Andrew Cupido, born and raised in Mossel Bay. 

My first education training was at SCTC.  I improved academically at various Colleges and Universities. 

My first principal post was at Emil Weder S.S. I became an active encourage of affording learners the opportunity to take part in sport as I noticed that “a child in sports is a child out of court” I used sports and arts to empower learners. Introducing girls to rugby, soccer, and softball. Softball was introduced the rural areas. I served on different Softball Associations in all the districts. Being elected as Chairperson of Western Cape Softball Association allowed me to grow the sport. 

My second principal post was at Parkdene S.S. I am currently the principal of Lentegeur S.S. where we have started a MOD center and we have introduced all sports codes. 

I am honoured to serve on the PPA executive in the sports portfolio. My dream is to equip learners to become productive builders of our beloved country.
