He takes over from Shetukana Lesley, who was at Dawid Bezuidenhout High School.
Moses is deputised by Fenn Paulus from Hage Geingob High School, while Ruusa Salomo from Acacia High School serves as secretary. Katire Tjijandjeua from Centaurus High School is the treasurer.
The learners will serve in the positions for two years.
