NAMIBIAN PRINCIPALS’

ASSOCIATION (NPA)

The Baobab Tree (Adansonia digitata) as a symbol signifies that we as

principals have our roots in Namibian soil; the strong trunk represents a strong
educational corps; the green leaves show life and future prosperity. The fruit of
the Baobab Tree is full of pits which supply nourishment, as the principal of a
school is to provide encouragement and motivation to the staff and learners.
