Jacques Le Roux

My name is Mr. Jacques Le Roux, and I am proud to be part of the PE teaching team at GEMS Metropole School, where I have been teaching for the past 8 years.

I began my teaching journey in Johannesburg at a primary school, where I developed strong foundational skills in physical education and coaching.

Since then, my career has taken me beyond South Africa, and I have had the privilege of broadening my international experience here at GEMS Metropole. Over the years, I have seen the school grow not only in size but also in its sporting achievements and overall student development. It's an exciting time to be part of such a dynamic and ambitious community.

From a young age, I have been passionate about sports—playing, learning, and eventually coaching while completing my academic studies. That love for sport evolved into a fulfilling career, where I now have the opportunity to support and inspire learners daily. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is witnessing students grow in confidence, skill, and teamwork both on and off the field.

I have a particular passion for football and proudly hold a UEFA B coaching license. My aim is always to create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. I strongly believe that sports not only build physical strength but also character, resilience, and discipline.

It has been incredibly fulfilling to see GEMS Metropole excel in various sports, and I am excited for what lies ahead.

Here’s to another great year of growth, achievement, and Mustang pride!
