Sr. Augustina Thokoa, SNJM, is the current Administrator of Mazenod High School in Maseru, Lesotho. She graduated from ASEC’s Sisters Leadership Development Initiative (SLDI) program, Administration Track, in 2018. She received her leadership position while she was in the SLDI program. As of 2020, this is her third year leading the school. 

In her role, one of the first changes she implemented was in the financial management of the school. Sr. Augustina learned that the school faced significant financial difficulties, especially regarding the boarding facility for the girls. Through a needs assessment she conducted with teachers, parents, the school board and non-teaching staff, she developed a new financial plan, separating the boarding facility finances from the rest of the school. This change has clarified the financial system and helped the school engage in long-term financial planning.
