Woodhill College

Our High School Chess Team participated in a tournament this past weekend.

Comprising of 11 participating high school teams, our school placed 6th👏⭐

Well done to all the members of the team. We are proud of you!

Congratulations to our Primary School Athletes on their impressive achievement at the A-bond Interprimary athletics meeting! Moving up from 5th to 3rd place is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved💪🥳

A big thank you to the athletes for their determination and to our staff members, coaches and parents for their unwavering support and effort in preparing for the event.

Your collective hard work has truly paid off, and we’re all proud of this fantastic result!✨

Our preschool children had such fun exploring our Spring themed sensory trays yesterday. Using their senses, they touched, felt, smelt and saw all things natural and beautiful🌻🌱

What a wonderful way to celebrate Spring✨🥳🌞🌾

Our u13 Boys and Girls tennis teams had a great time at the Buffelspoort Tennis Schools U/13 Tournament this past weekend.

Our girls team finished in 4th place, while our boys team secured 10th place👏✨ Additionally, our girls team won the title for Best Team Spirit🥳👏

Every player gave their best and not only honed their tennis skills but also learned valuable life lessons. They were true ambassadors of Woodhill College. A huge thank you to Mr Boshoff and Mrs Spiwak for travelling with the teams and for joining in the fun and games. It would be remiss of us not to thank our amazing Coach Erda Todd for accompanying them too and for her ongoing encouragement, support and commitment to the development and growth of tennis at our school.
To quote Coach Erda,
"As the coach, I couldn’t be prouder of our team and of being part of the Woodhill family".

What a wonderful way to end off another busy and exciting week at our amazing school. A huge thank you to the Sports Department, coaches and teachers for organizing and supporting the teams. You are appreciated🥳👏⭐

In our Preschool, imaginative play is where life long learning begins✨
Boxes become tents and cars, chairs turn into trains and rocks are transformed into meteorites🙂

Did you know that working in the garden is not just about getting ones hands dirty? Yes, it is wonderful to spend time outdoors in the warm sun as our preschool children do, but there are other benefits too✨

Our preschool learners planted seedlings in preparation for Spring and in so doing improved their fine and gross motor skills by digging, planting and watering the seedlings. Their sense of touch, sight and smell was also stimulated by handling the soil and plants 🪴

It also allows for a deeper connection with nature.

Our high school PWRD-up prayer group recently joined Every Nation Church in a powerful worship evening. Every Nation Church and five of our own learners formed a band for the evening’s worship🎼

Our Preschool children thoroughly enjoy our Let's be Active activities🥳🙌

These activities promote good physical health, motor skills development and social skills to mention a few 🏃🏾‍♂️⚽🛴

Our learners are indeed fostering a love for movement and exercise✨

Thank you to our caring teachers and coaches who encourage and nurture our little ones each day ⭐
