Mr Scott has touched many of the boys’ lives, has produced many outstanding productions, plays and most recently the “So you think you can sing competition” and as such he will be sorely missed. We wish Mr Scott well and thank him for his tremendous contribution over the years.

Northwood is honoured to have three boys represent the school at this stage – Sachin Reddy and Mohammed Arbee in the seniors and Rai Reddy in the juniors. We are very proud of these boys and wish them well. An exciting addition to our calendar is the night market, taking place tomorrow evening from 5pm to 9pm.

Well done and good luck for Round 2!
Junior Achievement (JA) Late last year, Northwood, Danville and Northlands Girls joined forces to establish two teams. One of these teams ‘’O my Garden!!’’ made up succulents in a jar.
They were the winning team in KZN in 2017 and this year were selected to represent KZN in the JASA Nationals held in Johannesburg over the holidays. Their presentation had to be refined - Jaden Naidoo and Hrisham Singh played a pivotal role in this venture. Thanks to this team, KZN came third!
Well done to Miguel dos Reis, Lungelo Zulu, Ngcebo Langa and of course to Jaden Naidoo and Hrisham Singh!
Thank you from i Care Please see an extract of the letter of thanks from the folk at i Care. We would like to thank you for your generous contribution to the street children.
There have been a few small changes to our soccer fixture list so please could parents view the changes under the Resources Tab on our Sport’s Website for the full fixture list. There may be one or two further changes around the St Charles fixture but for now it will remain as is. This weekend we will host internal matches at Northwood. All boys are expected to be there as they would a normal fixture. A massive congratulations to our 1st team Soccer who beat Glenwood 1st team 1-0 in a very competitive match on Wednesday at Northwood. The Glenwood side is made up almost entirely of Amazulu FC players so it was an exceptional performance and we can be extremely proud of our boys. Taine Bird, who is currently representing the South Africa Hockey team at the African Youth Games in Algeria, will play Zambia in the final today after defeating Nigeria 5-2 in the semi-final. Taine, we wish you and your team luck as you go for gold. Please note that no parents are allowed to drive into the school at the lower campus gate to collect their son’s between 07:00-16:30. Parents are to drop/collect from outside of the school gate during these times. Please could this be adhered to as we are having major congestion issues in that area. A reminder to find all extra mural details with regards to fixtures, notices, practice times and transport arrangements at www.northwoodschoolsport.com.
Tennis This past weekend Jordan Theron won the singles of the open division of the KZN Mini 3 at Westridge Park. He also won the doubles tournament. He was unseeded and beat the no 1, 2 and 4 seeds. Jordan and his partner were awarded the trophies for the Natal Closed singles and doubles. We are very proud of Jordan and would like to congratulate him on these phenomenal achievements.
