Northwood School's deputy principal gets pulled into warcry
A positively inspiring video shows how a deputy principal from a KZN school interacts with his students.
Seeing students and teachers come together is always worth celebrating. It's a powerful reminder of the impact great educators can have.
We recently saw a heartwarming example of a teacher who got into the profession for the right reasons – passion, commitment, and care.
In a time when many KZN parents are reeling from troubling news of a teacher allegedly having inappropriate conversations with a student at a prominent school, this uplifting video reminds us that there are still dedicated educators making a difference.
Northwood School, with over 75 years of academic, sporting, and cultural excellence, continues to hold a strong reputation in the Durban North community.
As the boys of Northwood gathered on the sports field to perform their war cry, a few teachers and senior management staff stood on the sidelines.
But the students had something special planned for one person in particular – Mr Reggie Govender, Norwood School’s deputy principal.
As they performed their war cry and the momentum grew, a group of older boys pulled Mr Govender into the action.
He unknowingly became a part of the action, and instead of resisting or stepping out, he joined in with a big smile and matched their enthusiasm.
Students applauded Mr Govender for being such a good sport, and the comment section was just as heartwarming:
"I’m a Glenwood old boy but naaaah Northwood has the vibes! Yaaaassss."
"GeeeeeVeeeee Northwoods Greatest!!! Man, that kind sir kept me on my Toes Always!"
"Bet not a single one of these kids is bullied or bullies others - the school unity is strong."
"The Governator is one of our best assets."
"This is exactly how I remember my school days! Teachers were always involved in the fun and part of the plan."
