Quote of the Week
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in
the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it be invaded with fret
and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old
nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear Parents
During the course of this week our teachers returned to school and our
online program was launched. In addition to the above, our Squires
began their Northwood journey with orientation and facility upgrades in
the Boarding Establishment and at Lower Campus were completed. All in
all, it was a busy space but successful week.
As previously mentioned, the Víctor Daitz Centre for Innovation will give
our boys access to the latest in cutting edge technology and creative
learning platforms. I am pleased to report that all the work scopes and
contracts have been signed off and as such, construction and
refurbishment will begin on Monday. The library and surrounds will
therefore not be accessible or operational during the next 10 weeks. I
apologize in advance for the disruption, ultimately it will be so worth the
wait.
Last week our social responsibility arm, The Hope Project, reached out
to the children, staff and elderly of the Mount Royal Community. Through
the support of the Spur Foundation, Apache River Spur at Riverside
Sport, and Northwood boys and staff, we were able to provide 750 meals
to the community. It was a truly blessed day with lots a grateful hearts
and happy faces.
Next week, you can expect final communication on our
boys’ physical return to school – in anticipation of the
return, please ensure boys manage their social
interaction conservatively and safely and assist us in
ensuring all uniform expectations are met. We will not
entertain any excuses in terms of appearance on Day 1.
Lastly, a big THANK YOU, firstly to our garden moms
Mrs Steele and Mrs Price and the moms who pray for
the beautiful and thoughtful gift presented to the staff on Monday. We are
certainly blessed to have these special people as part of our Northwood
Family.
Secondly, to Mr. Beukes and his staff for the tireless efforts in preparing
our facility for the safe return of our staff, boys, parents and visitors. We
are very fortunate to have dedicated and hardworking people who give
so much of themselves in the service of others.
Have a great weekend.
