Welcome to our new teachers

Each year our school is growing in size.  This means that we need a few more teachers each year too.  In 2012 we welcome the following teachers to our school:

Grade 3 - Miss McCormack

Grade 4 - Mrs Lewis

Grade 5 - Miss Olivier

and for Junior PE - Miss Bowen

Welcome to all.  We hope your stay will be a very happy one.

IT and Media in 2012

We've entered a new and exciting year in our Media Centre at Northwest! One of the first things a couple of Grade R's told me is that they don't have computers at home... they have ipads!

This year we will be starting with e-books in the library and Grades 5 to 7 will have class blogs. The class blog will be a place for each class to interact with their classmates about educational matters, including book reviews, class projects and current events. I look forward to your support in this.

My wish for you for this new year is that your life is as amazing as it is on Facebook:)

Mrs Tschohl

Welcome back

The new school year has started.  We hope that all the pupils are settled into their new classes and have made lots of friends.  Just in case you get lost or need to know where to find the classrooms now that everyone has been shuffled around, herewith the new school layout.
