From the Principal

Thank you to all families who have been able to make some time to talk with class teachers over the past two weeks.  If you were not able to do this, please talk with your child's teacher about a good time to touch base with them.  This could be done via phone, face-to-face or online video. 

With the high amount of illness circulating at present, this term has seen our 'normal' attendance drop significantly. We understand that this has also had a huge impact on families with trying to shuffle work commitment etc. and also on children's learning and overall wellbeing. We are very hopeful that we see a decrease in the illnesses as we enter Term 3. Please ensure that you let us know when children are sick so that we can enter an 'explained absence' into the system. We may at times, after lengthy or many absences, be required to ask you to provide a medical certificate.

We wish all our students and their families a restful and healthy term break.  

NAIDOC Week

This week we celebrate NAIDOC Week at NPS. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. 

Classes across the school have recognised NAIDOC week in a number of ways including sharing indigenous texts with buddy classes and guest readers, visiting the forest as a demonstration of connection to land and place, and for our older classes, participating in Gumnuts to Buttons with Miss Marshall. Huge thanks to Miss Marshall for sharing her knowledge and passion with our students.

 At Norwood Primary we Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!

Kind regards, Karen
