Our image
The image on the banner – an arrowhead pointing forward – symbolises our theme: to become greater than before.
For us, this greater-than sign also symbolises movement, growth and development. It encourages us to keep moving because every moment has the capacity for growth and progress.
Greatness is not limited to the NWU, however – we believe that it is meant for all our stakeholders. We wish to inspire all of them to recognise and celebrate their greatness and the opportunities we offer them to help them become even greater.
In this video we challenge our students to push their boundaries, test their limits and be greater today than yesterday.
