From the Principal

Dear NPS Families

Thank you for your support with having children well prepared for school each day for another term.  Term 2 concludes this Friday, 5th July with school resuming for Term 3 on Monday, 22nd July. 

It was wonderful to see so many families attending our recent Parent / Teacher conversations .....391 appointments were booked for this.  We would love to have some feedback from you about the process and structure of these...below is a link to a very quick survey. Please take a few minutes to complete this as your feedback  supports our organisation into the future.

The cold weather has certainly hit us quickly.  Please ensure that children have a jumper and/or jacket with them each day during the winter months. Although some children will say "I don't feel the cold", their body certainly does, which can cause amongst a number of things, tiredness and loss of concentration.  

This week we have lots of activities around the school to celebrate NAIDOC week. 

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 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. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.

These hands on activities, both in class and in the playground, are designed to support children's understanding of some of the cultural experiences of our First Nations cultures.
