Marcelle Steenkamp
Marcelle is the Head of The Arts at Montem, a school recognised for its creative excellence as an Artsmark Platinum and Trinity Champion centre. Holding a Bachelor of Music (BMus), Marcelle brings a deep understanding of the disciplined practice and joy behind artistic expression to the Kapow Primary subject advisory panel.
In her role at Montem, Marcelle teaches Art & Design across the entire school and runs several weekly after-school art clubs. On the advisory panel, she provides a grounded teacher’s perspective, focusing on the practicalities of what truly works in a classroom setting and identifying where students—and resources—succeed or struggle. When she isn’t in the art room, Marcelle can be found leading the Montem cello ensemble, further reflecting her commitment to fostering a vibrant, multi-disciplinary arts culture for every child.
