From the Desk of The Principal
Half-way through the month of May already which now leaves a total of 27 school days until the end of the second quarter. We are down into the twenties which is amazing when one considers that this end of term will herald our mid-year break.

MOTHERS’ DAY ASSEMBLY
What a wonderful response from our Northlands mothers! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to support the Mothers’ Day presentation. The school was buzzing with over 500 mothers in the hall. The educators and learners were also very excited about the visits to the classrooms as each class had made special cards to give to the much-loved moms.
Thank you to Mr Wilson for entertaining us and for honouring our special moms – you were fantastic!
One of our parents, Mrs Lara Plumtree, and a group of her friends are hoping to help raise R1m towards saving the rhino and putting an end to poaching, especially in KZN, by taking on the Safaricom Marathon to be held in Kenya in June this year. To do this they will be hosting a golf day, a Barnyard evening and a wine auction, to mention just a few events, in order to raise awareness in our
community. They are hoping that individuals as well as companies will be able to make donations towards this very worthy cause – anything would be most appreciated. For more information on the event and how you can help, please contact Cherry Armstrong (team leader) on 082 440 1730.
