Prep Circular - 23 March 2026

Dear parents, it has been an exceptional start to 2026, our 90th year of celebrating the Woodridge name. From our orientation camps at the beginning of the term, to the energy and determination of the River Race, to meaningful and engaging pupil-led conferences, this term has been rich in both experience and connection. Our 90th celebrations have brought our community together in special ways, from the warm fellowship at the family spit braai to our music concerts, the 90th Tennis Festival, and a vibrant summer season of sport.

From the Headmaster's Desk - 6 March 2025

Dear parents, as our pupils return from their various grade camps, I find myself once again reflecting on what a uniquely Woodridge experience these past days have been. Each year, our staff are reminded what a privilege it is to witness your children beyond the classroom, in wide open spaces, under vast skies, and in moments that cannot be scripted or staged. Camp week has always been part of the heartbeat of Woodridge. It is where nature is used to nurture, in the most authentic way. We find that each year when the pupils are out there, something shifts.
