Month: October 2014

Congratulations to our new Headboy, Ntobeko Sibisi (Glenashley Prep Old Boy) and his four Deputies, Keagan Sparks, Justin Snyman, Tyler Smith and Eugene Van Wyk on their nomination as leaders and role models at Northwood.

As always, our Northwood students excelled academically, and the awards were an impressive list of those achievers.  Our Dux for 2014 is Kashir Gopal (who’s brother was also Dux in 2010) – he was also the recipient of no fewer than 6 other academic awards.

Darryn Gallagher was our guest speaker at Speech Day,  not only is Darryn our MIC of Hockey and Northwood 1st Team Coach – he is also an Olympic Hockey Player, SA Under 21 Coach and Head of Hockey at Varsity College.

We now wish our current grade 12’s all the best as they embark on study leave for their upcoming final exams.  We thank 2014 Headboy, Greg Slater and his team of Deputies and Prefects for epitomizing what at Knight should be in their leadership of the school this year.
