2020 Planning messages.....

We are now well into forward planning for 2020. In order for us to make the best decision possible, it is important to let us know if your child/ren will not be returning to NPS next year so please either call or email us if this is the case.

Also, Kindergaten enrolments for 2020 are being finalised. If you have a child, or know of a family within the Norwood area who has turned four this year, then please contact us about enrolment.

Educational based requests for 2020 classes close this Friday. Please remember that all requests are to be in writing, either in hard copy delivered to the office or via email.

Celebrations!

Last week three of our Grade 5 students and family members attended the Department of Education Student Achievement Awards, and were presented with an achievement certificate by Minister for Education & Training, Jeremy Rockliff.

This year the Department of Education moved from NAPLAN awards to Student awards that recognise achievement and the values of aspiration and growth.

Aspiration and Achievement – a culture of high expectations and high achievement
Growth – improving by always learning and finding better ways to do things

Eligible students will come from Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

CONGRATULATIONS to .....

Jack Miller - Aspiration & Achievement
Levi Swift - Aspiration & Achievement
Daniel Hilbert - Growth

Congratulations to Arefa Ashrafi for her extremely well constructed and detailed art work for the 2019 Young Archies competition. Well done Arefa!

Congratulations also to Casey Noble who will be representing Australia at the Pan Pacific Cup in Hawaii in November. Casey was selected out of 250 10 year olds to be part of this team after competing at the National Futsal Championships in Sydney this year. We will all be cheering you on Casey!

End of year events...

This year we have organised for both the Prep-2 & 3-6 classes to attend the Riverside Pool for their end of year celebration. Given that this is a water activity, permission notices will be sent home with all Prep-6 student who do not currently have 2019 permission to attend school excursion involving water activities (most 3-5 students will have already completed this).

Please see the calendar below for dates of each event. More information relating to the requirements of each event will be distributed within the coming weeks.
