From the Principal

Dear NPS Families

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. 

The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy

As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors. 

Due to the Term 2 break beginning at the same time as NAIDOC Week, classes have been celebrating this important event this week.  Students have continued to build on their understanding of Indigenous Cultures, History and present & future through the lens of inquiry-based learning from our Kindergarten through to year six. The celebrations will continue in classes throughout this week along with a special story reading during this week's assembly.

Please feel free to come into classes at drop off and/or pick up time to take a look at the various NAIDOC Week activities happening in classrooms.   

Here are a few photos from our Kinder & Prep classes.....

Best wishes to all our staff and students for a healthy and restful break from this Friday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 21st July. 

Kind regards, 

Karen Monaghan | Principal
