In fact, tea was such a part of her identity that she once gave a now-famous devotion on how to drink tea – one that left everyone smiling and perhaps looking at their teacups with a little more reverence. She brought this same heart and thoughtfulness to her roles beyond the classroom, whether it was as a speaker at the schoolโ€™s Mother & Daughter Tea or the ever-gracious organiser of the annual Grade 7 Ladiesโ€™ Tea.

Her colleagues remember her not just for her professionalism, but for her deep care. Feeling unwell? Mrs Rose-Innes always had a trusty boere remedy at the ready. Need a smile? A warm chat with her did the trick. She had a way of making everyone feel special – and that, perhaps, is what weโ€™ll miss the most.

Mrs Hanli Rose-Innes was more than an educator; she was the life, heart and soul of Union in so many ways. She leaves behind a legacy of laughter, learning and love – and a void that cannot easily be filled.
