WBHS is a world-class South African educational institution that prepares its students for a rapidly changing global environment #inceptonedesistam

To my fellow Griffin brothers, and the Westville B

To my fellow Griffin brothers, and the Westville Boys’ High School community:
As Head of School for 2021, I find myself looking at this year as an opportunity to leave a memorable legacy, as well as a build a foundation for those to come.
I would like to share an encouraging quote that has had a major influence throughout my 2020 year, and one that I think all of you will find applicable in these challenging times.
“When we are no longer able to change our situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. Victor Frankl
The ability to remain patient and optimistic in times of hardship and uncertainty is something I encourage every Westville boy to carry with them throughout this year.
Persistence and dedication will have to be evident in the need to excel in the aspect of schoolwork, whether it be in the classroom or online lessons.
This year will be filled with many opportunities to reach new goals and pursue many aspirations you may have, and I urge you to stay resilient and chase after them and take every opportunity with both hands.
The start of the school year is near, and I ask that we all remain safe and healthy as we await our return to our place of unity.
It is an absolute honour to lead Westville Boys’ High School through 2021 and I have no doubt it will be a year of success and excellence.
Incepto Ne Desistam| May I not shrink from my purpose

As the sun rises in 2021, we are grateful that we can focus on moving forward this year, having all learnt to be heroes in 2020. #griffinfire #inceptonedesistam #2021

We wish our WBHS community the blessing of peace,

We wish our WBHS community the blessing of peace, the spirit of love, the comfort of faith, the joy of family, and hope for a happy new year.

At the centre of a new beginning for Westville’s

At the centre of a new beginning for Westville’s 1st XV, is our very own accomplished player and coach, Mr Njabulo Zulu who has been announced as head coach for 2021, with U16A Coach Mr Ivan Jooste as assistant.

"I am really excited about the challenge and am really appreciative for the faith the school has put in me. There have been many great coaches who have come before me and contributed immensely to Westville rugby. I see it as a great challenge to add my flavour to that legacy."

He was the Deputy Head of School in 2004 and represented and was capped for more than 50 games for the WBHS 1st XV.

"Everywhere I have worked, I have been posed with different challenges. All very exciting in their own respect. I have loved them all, but Durban is my home city and Westville is home. It is extra special to get to be the head of a team I once played for and a school I attended as a boy."
“We have a great group to work with in 2021 and there is a lot of excitement about the coming season,” said Jabz. “I have returned home after many years, and Ivan has found a home at WBHS. Both of us are determined to make our mark in our new roles. It's an exciting new chapter for the Griffins”.

What a privilege it was to have old boy, Dr Zane S

What a privilege it was to have old boy, Dr Zane Stenning (WBHS 2013), as our Guest of Honour at this year’s Excellence Awards.

His compassionate and thought-provoking address to the boys was inspiring, and his actions and achievements as a person and doctor are a testament to him and serve to reinforce the advice he imparted today.

After matriculating, Zane completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at Wits University and he is currently employed at Groote Schuur Academic Hospital in Cape Town where he has been working exclusively in the respiratory medical team.
In March this year, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, he started a charitable organisation called Safe Space, also based in Cape Town, that feeds and houses the homeless. Since March, the work of this organisation has spread to three major metros - Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.

While studying, he co-founded Zamelo, a private company specializing in Finance acquisitions. More recently, he has teamed up with fellow old boy, Shivaan Salligram, to establish SallStem Investments, venturing into the world of the SME sector of the economy.

The heart of Zane’s message at our Excellence awards was a message of encouragement to our boys to embrace failure, fear, vulnerability and sacrifice.

Zane, we are so proud of your achievements, and we Thank You for your valuable time and words of wisdom.

Incepto Ne Desistam - Dr Stenning - You have not shrunk from your purpose. #griffinfire #inceptonedesistam

You had it the first time, you will get through it

You had it the first time, you will get through it a second time. We are behind you for every extra step you have to take 🔵🔴⚪️

The World Leading Schools Association (WLSA) was f

The World Leading Schools Association (WLSA) was founded in 2011, with the aim of uniting young leaders from across the globe. Starting with only five associate schools, they have grown to incorporate sixty schools across the world and over 500 registered students.

The Student Council and the Council Board collaborate closely to plan and prepare for the global conferences that take place annually for both students and educators.

Following a rigorous application process, Westville Boys’ High School congratulates Aidan Pillay (Grade 11) and Shivaar Ramsudh (Grade 10) who have been selected to represent South Africa on the Student Council. This achievement is made even more outstanding by the fact that of the ten council members from throughout the world, two are from South Africa and more importantly, are representing Westville Boys’ High School.

We are extremely proud of these young men and believe that Aiden and Shivaar will represent their country and their School with distinction, as they proudly continue the noble tradition initiated by their peers, David Weber (2016 to 2018), Nivan Poken (2018 to 2020) and Claudio Govender (President: 2018 to 2020).
