In 2008, Mandy Ross - mother, wife and business woman - decided to take on a new
challenge. She wanted to enrich the lives of young girls, she
wanted to give them opportunities that so many before them have never had.
After months of research, she started writing manuals on various subjects and so a
business was born…
““It is so important in today’s It is so important in today’s complex and competitive world to complex and competitive world to learn life skills which will help learn life skills which will help

““Our classes teach a wide variety Our classes teach a wide variety of of essential life skillsessential life skills preparing preparing the girls to undertake successful the girls to undertake successful

““We encourage young ladies to make We encourage young ladies to make the most of who they arethe most of who they are, ,

etc.”etc.”
Mandy is still very much involved in the business and portrays her role as Operational Manager from the head office in Cape Town.
Today “Mandy’s dream” is a national franchise. Bella Donna Finishing School has branches across the country and growing every month.
The Bella Donna franchise has had plenty of media coverage in its short lifetime including radio, magazines and newspapers.

Bella Donna offers a wide variety of subjects which are all individually covered in the
lessons throughout the course.
Even though each Bella Donna Branch owner has the required training material to run the
classes, professionals such as make-up artists, self-defence coaches, plumbers, electricians,
dancers and hairdressers are regularly called in to assist in lessons.
Each weekly lesson lasts 2 hours and it takes about 5 – 6 months to complete the entire
course. To celebrate the completion of the course, each girl will receive her Bella Donna
Finishing School certificate at a very special ceremony.
