On October 17, 2019, Newcastle High School announced its new prefect body of 2020!
Things started off with the promise of a fantastic future, with the head boy releasing a statement that he and his fellow teammates were going to do their very best to take the school and the learners to new heights in 2020.
The enthusiastic group of head prefects follows in the footsteps of the 2019 prefects, who left a lasting legacy behind them. They hope to take great strides and leave a legacy which not only impacts NHS, but also the community of Newcastle as a whole.
“A team is like a toolset. Not one tool can do all the jobs, but anything can be done together,” said Mohammed Moola, Newcastle High’s 2020 head boy. “Soaring to new heights can only occur if we work together as a family.”

Head Girl of 2020, Hlelelwa Msibi warmed up to the idea of being a leader by saying: “Most leaders begin as followers. They became great because they were intelligent enough to know when to follow and when to lead. A good leader is a good follower.”
Head boy of academics, Kiyash Maharaj, added: “Just as maths is nothing without an equation, a leader is nothing without his team. We are ALL in this together.”
