What happened at southbridge?
The Peter Principle - People rise to their level of incompetence - might hold differently with respect to fraud, but whatever the next level above "School Director" is, that is where I expect he will strike next.
He is currently on a tropical island sending his CV off to the Myanmar Government seeking Special Advisor to the Ministry of Education. Indeed, doesn't his CV state he held the same position in Somaliland? (He had the same position, of course, in the more prestigious Somalia for 6 months, but had to resign due to health concerns.)
Best of luck in Burma!

Hard to imagine that this shabby excuse for a man, has been able to fool the mighty Royal Group.
It makes you wonder how they must feel having been fooled by Dwayne and Benjamen. I wonder who's head is going to role for this?

Southbridge are desperately going around Phnom Penh trying to entice Principals to leave their current positions and come and work for them.
One of my friends has just been approached from the female HR director.

Once again, scraping the barrel for someone willing to break contract. Marie better make sure to tell them that they'll be paid less than the previous one, micromanaged by idiots and dicked over when they leave like everyone else!

Anyone able to post this review? Would love to know what went on at Southbridge.
Southbridge is in a real mess, even more than it was before, many staff have all resinged and not just expats, local staff as well. Since most of the senior management left it has gone from really bad to much worse, the school could not even get open in time last week when students were allowed to return, and they stayed on line until this week.
The current people trying to manage things are going around picking on staff, threatening them, breaking contracts and bullying people, many staff are really frightened that they will loose their jobs. No one seems to know what is going and nothing is being said to the staff about the future of the school or the replacement of senior staff.
The HR psrson from the head office seems to think she can do it all, and is being a real bully, she is apparently telling lies and generally talking rubbish about many things. One staff member said it was to the point that she can not even remember what she had said previously and keeps on changing her directives.
Many students families have heard about the problems there and have tried to withdraw their children, but are having difficulty getting clear information on how to get refunds from the school, others are simply not paying. A large number of students have already left and many have moved to the new school that has open down the road near here, some people are worried and saying that the school might not stay open and will just close down if things go on like this for much longer.
It makes you wonder about the quality of education being provided there, and what hope do the students have? You would have thought COVID-19 would have been bad enough without all these problems, the longest cufrent serving senior principal has only been the principal since August, and that was never anounced. Rumor has it she is going to leave soon, she is just waiting for her other business to start up again.
I have lived in Cambodia for 15 years, I have watched the stories coming out of Southbridge over the last 5 years, and I have never seen or heard of anything as bad as it is now, what a drama, you could not make something like this up. I feel really sorry for the students and the families there, Southbridge get your act together, there children's lives being ruined because of your incompetence. If this were back in the states, this school would be drowning in litigation, if it isn't already.

Hello Everyone it is me again Benjamin Alabado, I need some help to get a job. You see, my boyfriend Gene Dwayne Lehman has run away again, and Miss Marie Janise Santos from Southbridge won't give a job anymore and I don't know why?
I am even applying around town for al sorts jobs including to pretend to be a teacher, I mean it worked for Dwayne. I could produce a degree from any country you want just give me a job, and a couple of weeks I will have it sent over from Africa.
Please help me, I am all alone and very scared.
Come back Dwayne I promise I will spy for you again.
Love
Benjamin.

The totally unqualified "Benji" was essentially promoted to "deputy" Headmaster at Noblesse during Dwayne's last year there, where he essentially attempted to run the school by proxy, probably ironically hastening Dwayne's departure. The funny thing about these characters is the extent to which they don't know what they don't know about education. They are completely unaware of their own levels of incompetence. These two would make a great case study on the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Could someone PLEEEEAAAAAAASE post the latest ISR review of Dwayne? Surely someone here has an ISR account

Been quiet lately, does that mean everything is good at Southbridge, or are people to scared to speak? Staff at Southbridge hate it there, apparently some lady called Marie is being a bully, and she is using her Philippines network to push other people around. Threatening them and forcing them to sign new probationary contracts after they already had passed their probation.
I don't think it's possible for everything to be good, which you obviously know as you have friends there. However, I feel that this thread has gone quiet due to the fact that everyone with a bone to pick with Dwayne has vented their spleens, celebrated his downfall, and then got on with their lives.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 2:37 pmBeen quiet lately, does that mean everything is good at Southbridge, or are people to scared to speak?

Fun fact, Dwayne was not the first head of school to arrive with a boyfriend, hire his mates, do a shit job, and then disappear off into the night! Does no one remember Owen the kiwi?

Principal Report
Who wrote this report card?
Principal's Name & Division:
Dwayne Lehman / Head of School (report 6)
Reporting Period:2021
School Name & Country:Southbridge International School Cambodia
Fair & equitable with all staff Poor
Good listener, easily approachable Poor
Provides disciplinary support Poor
Displays effective leadership Poor
Delegates responsibility well Poor
Demonstrates curriculum knowledge Poor
Fosters positive, supportive climate Poor
Strong ability to relate to kids Poor
Overall rating Poor
Principal's level of responsibility School has 2 or more Principals. This is my division Principal.
Management style
This shipwreck of a leader was recruited surutiously by the Royal Group owners of the school behind the back of the existing Head of School.
I find Dwayne to be an egocentric, narcissistic micro manager, who I believe picks favorite staff to come and work at the school for him. As per his history at other schools these seem to unsually be Philippine, openly gay male teachers.
He then sets about changing the school.
Academic & disciplinary support
In my opinion, Dwyane is a complete fraud who seems to me to know nothing about Academia or working with others. He reported he that he has a Stafford University MS. The university is located in Uganda. His has also been doing a University of the People Masters of Education for over six years which has never been completed.
There has also been concern raised that the HR Director at Southbridge was not very rigorous in doung, up-to-date criminal records checks, verifing references from past employers or checking that original documents that were authenticated.
I believe Dwayne is a chronic lair telling stories that are often beyond belief. One he tells is where he had to leave the Philippines urgently because he was "being hunted down by a terrorist group there because he had a Jewish surname".
Hiring Process
The selection process of the Head of School at Southbridge was not open or transparent. The position was occupied at the time, the incumbent did not know that she was being replaced and the role was never openly advertised.
Additional Comments
I believe this man should never be allowed to work at a school or with Children ever again. Please read this and the other reviews before you consider him.

Anyone know where Dwayne (and by extension Benji) are located now, or headed to?
Benji,here everyone, I know it has been a while, so lets see so much has happened since I last wrote to you all.
Dwayne caught me in bed with another man, he got so upset and kicked my out of the apartment. I was homeless I tell you.
But we eventually made up and he has returned from th USA and because everyone now knows that he is a fake and a fraud, he is going to retire. Just him and me in the Philippines.
But the Philippines government have said in payment for the things he did last time he as there, they are willing to put him up in an all expenses paid lodging for a few years. Apparently he will like the butch company around the place.
I have gone on a head to the Philippines to prepare a place for King Dwayne, and hopefully this little queen will be able to live off him happily ever after, or at least until the next rich guy comes along.
Dwayne is living in the Queen Apartments in TTP, which is really fitting and apt for him.
I gotta go now gotta see a lawyer to help Dwayne off the charges.
Bye now Merry Christmas
Love
Benji.
