Northwood celebrated its leading academic achievers of 2022 at a Prize-Giving event held in the school hall this week. The Principal, Paul Viljoen, also presented the prestigious Headmaster’s Award to two learners.
The Headmaster’s Award is presented to a Squire, who was in either grade 8 or grade 9 the previous year, who not only performed well in the classroom, but who also exhibited a good attitude, resilience, and conducted himself in exemplary fashion towards his teachers and peers, both on and off the field.
Tristan Parkinson was honoured with the award for the grade 8 group, while the grade 9 award was presented to Luke Allen (photo, top of article).
