From the Principal
Dear NPS Families
I would like to start off this week, by sending a huge thank you to our School Association for their continued work to raise funds to support ongoing improvements to Norwood PS.
The re-surfaced courts between the STEM room and the Hall look amazing and have certainly been well-received by students. When there is a break in the rain, so that the surface surrounding the new soccer goals dries out sufficiently, turf will be placed in a semi-circle at each goal structure to make these more usable during winter...once again, thanks to the School Association and each of our families who support this work.
Entrance Cable
This week the Cable Gate will be installed at the entrance of the school and will be up from 8:00am onwards. Whilst we understand that this may be inconvenient for some people, it is essential that we put the safety of our students first. All previous requests via email to limit the traffic coming into the school at drop off and pick up time have not been successful, therefore we needed to take alternative action for the safety of our students.
If you need to enter the school during school hours to drop off large items, collect unwell children, etc. please contact the office and they will lower the cable for you.
Working with Vulnerable People Check & Safeguarding Training
It has been wonderful to see an increase in the amount of family members volunteering their time to support student and also the work of the School Association. If you would like to volunteer and haven't already completed the WWVP check or Safeguarding Training simply click on the links below and follow the prompts.

Kind regards,
