Thought for the Week
“Life doesn’t always get better. But you do. You get stronger. You get wiser. You get softer. With tattered
wings. You rise. And the world watches in wonder at the breathless beauty of a human who survives life.”
~ L. R. Knost
From the Headmaster
MR P VILJOEN
The term is in full swing with a number of activities and events taking place in and around the school. Along
with the various soccer, softball and seven’s rugby fixtures, who also have the final round of the South
African Olympiad taking place this afternoon.
After the initial two rounds, only the top 100 senior and junior participants, throughout the country, are
selected to participate in this last stage. 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. A
number of vendors will be selling a variety of goods, food and drink, so a trip down to school on Friday
evening will certainly be worthwhile. A big thank you to our marketing department for putting this event
together.
This week also sees an end of an era – Mr
Russell Scott, a Northwood Old Boy, and our
music teacher, producer, band coordinator
and all around creative genius has decided
that the time is right for a new challenge and
hence will be leaving the school at the end of
the month. 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. Mrs Bonsignore
currently the senior music teacher at Northlands Girls, will be taking over the teaching of our music students.
We want to thank Mrs Bonsignore for her willingness to add the teaching of our boys to her schedule, and
also want to thank the management of Northlands Girls for accommodating us in this regard.
We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of 2004 Northwood Old Boy Darren Morasutti who tragically
passed away last week Sunday. We offer our sincere condolences to his family during this incredibly difficult
time. May he rest in peace.

University of Johannesburg, Finance Investment

Late last term, pupils who do Maths and a Commerce subject were invited to participate in this Olympiad. It
certainly did not look easy!

the second round to be held tomorrow.
The successful matrics are:
CALEB CHINNU (top mark!)
TAHLA PATEL
SAYEN MIRZA
RIYADH LAKHI
AUGUSTIN LIU
KESHAV PILLAY
NICHOLAS DEEB
SOHEEL NUNDRAJ
WANDILE MKHIZE
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!

From the Head of Extramurals
Mr G. Le Roux gleroux@nwood.co.za
Deputy Headmaster – Extramurals
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.
