Peo Gaosenkwe is not your average teenager. A Year 11 learner at Teneo Online School, she’s currently completing her International GCSEs through Pearson Edexcel while making waves on national and international pageant stages.

As the newly crowned Miss Teen Petite Globe South Africa 2024 and Miss Teen Universe Northern Cape 2024, Peo is proving that academic success and personal passion can go hand in hand.

Peo Gaosenkwe is living proof that when learners are empowered by flexibility, supported by qualified teachers, and driven by purpose, anything is possible. At Teneo, we don’t just educate — we help dreams take flight.

Peo is much more than a pageant queen. She’s a mental health advocate, a philanthropist, and a passionate public speaker. Her mission is to uplift and empower young people, and she’s already leading the way by:

• Organising youth empowerment pageants in her community

• Donating essential items like sanitary pads, pre-loved clothing, and festive gifts

• Raising awareness around teen mental health and self-esteem

• Using her platform to speak out about issues that matter to the youth of South Africa

Her passion for helping others is grounded in lived experience and a deep belief that purpose can drive real change.

Flexible Learning That Supports Big Dreams

Teneo’s flexible online learning model is what makes Peo’s busy life possible. With access to live, interactive lessons and expert teachers, she’s able to manage her academic responsibilities while building a public career.

Whether she’s preparing for a pageant, speaking at an event, or attending fittings for upcoming shows, Peo stays on track with her studies. That’s the power of structured online schooling that adapts to the learner.

Next Stop: Dubai Fashion Week

Peo’s goals for the future are ambitious and inspiring. She plans to represent South Africa in international pageants and walk the runway at Dubai Fashion Week 2025. But she’s not stopping there — she also hopes to launch an NGO dedicated to supporting teens facing mental health struggles.

Her journey is proof that when young people are given the tools, support, and flexibility they need, they can thrive academically and personally.
