From the Principal

Dear Families

Welcome to our last NPS newsletter for term 3. 

Tomorrow we will be hosting our annual DISCO for our P -6 students with the incredible Disco Dan!

This is a much anticipated yearly event by students and is designed to celebrate and have some fun, therefore we ask that all students follow all expectations for arrival, time on site and depature of this event.  Students attending the after-school time sessions will not be permitted out of the hall area, other than to use the toilet, during this event. Times for each year level are noted further on in this newsletter. 

Open Afteroon Survey: 

Thank you to the families who completed the Open Afternoon survey; your feedback has been very valuable for our forward planning. The responses where generally very positive in relation to this event with a number of people stating that they would like to see a session later in the day to cater for those who cannot get away from work.  This is something that we will definitely be looking at for future sessions. 

Reminders:

As we move in to the end of term break, and then prepare for the final term of the 2023 school year, it is timely for a few reminders that help school time run more smoothly.

• All clothing should be clearly named. Our lost property basket is regularly very full of un-named items. Staff will regularly go through this and return named items to students. 
• Site times for students are 8:30 - 3:00pm (unless in before or after-school care). The grounds of the school are not supervised until 8:30am which means any children here before 8:30am are not being supervised which may place them at risk of harm. If you need to be at work at a time that means children need to be dropped off prior to 8:30am, please ask the office for information about Before-school care. 
• There will be a number of events taking place during term 4, especially for the year 6 students, so please watch out for all correspondence about these. Communication will be made either with email, text, class letter and/or via this newsletter.
• And, as always please remember that you are welcome to make a time to talk your child/ren's teacher at any time throughout the school terms if you would like to discuss anything. You can do this by directly contacting the teacher or emailing the school.  

Best wishes for a postive term break and I look forward to continuing our work together next term. 

Kind regards,
