More than 850 school principals attended the SAOU Principals' Symposium over the past few days, highlighting the commitment to educational leadership and excellence in South Africa.

A highlight of the event was the keynote address by Prof Pieter Kruger, Director of the Centre for Health and Human Performance (CHHP), titled "High-Performance Environments: Lessons from the World of Elite Sport."

His insights demonstrated how principles from elite performance can be applied to leadership, resilience, and success in education.

We are also proud that the NWU - North-West University has been the main sponsor of this prestigious event for the past 23 years, supporting the development of school leaders across the country.

Day one of the 10th Annual Autism Symposium, hosted by the NWU Centre for Health and Human Performance (CHHP) Care2Kids Unit, Autism South Africa & SA-ACAPAP, was a huge success and celebrated a decade of learning, connection and growth.

In his opening address, Prof Pieter Kruger welcomed delegates, including autistic individuals, families, educators, clinicians, advocates and supporters, and reflected on the privilege of hosting this important symposium over the past 10 years. He shared a powerful message of resilience and hope: “Life does not always become easier, but we can become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to navigate challenges while embracing who we are.”

Prof Kruger highlighted the importance of celebrating autism and neurodiversity, recognising the unique strengths within the autism community, and developing the skills needed to navigate life's challenges. He reminded attendees that resilience is not about avoiding struggle, but about adapting, recovering and continuing to move forward.

He also emphasised the importance of self-care for parents, caregivers, educators and professionals, noting that sustainable support for others begins with looking after ourselves.

The symposium's message is clear: meaningful change happens through hope, connection, supportive relationships and collective action. Together, we can focus on possibility rather than limitation and continue building a more inclusive future.
