From the Principal
Spring is back and so are hats! Throughout the next couple of weeks we will be directing children to begin wearing hats at play times and for outside actiivties. Students are welcome to continue to wear any Norwood PS hat they have, but for anyone needing a new hat, our new look NPS hats are available at Midford in Charles Street and the school office has limited stock available. Cost - $12.00.
Please note that football and decorative beanies and caps are not to be worn at school, unless part of a individual support plan for a very few students. Students will be asked to remove any hats that do not meet the Updated NPS Uniform Policy approved by our School Association.
Please take a look at the uniform policy for all acceptable uniform items.
GaGa PIT
Our newly built Primary GaGa Pit has been extremely well received by students. For most, this has been a new game to learn which means some give and take and lots of sharing! But, wow, what a great job everyone is doing!
SOCIAL MEDIA Safety
We are aware that there are occasions when social media can place the wellbeing of our young people at risk. When this occurs, it is important we follow the advice of the eSafety Commissioner.
-
The Office of the eSafety Commissioner encourages parents and carers to co-view, co-play, and ask questions about the games, and apps their children are using; and let them know you are there to support them if they are upset or uncomfortable about anything they see online.
- The Office of the eSafety Commissioner’s website has a section specifically for parents which you are encouraged to visit for further information. It does include advice on supporting teenagers should they encounter content that is upsetting, disturbing or offensive.
https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents
We also encourage people who encounter such content to report it to the social media platform they’ve seen it on, or to eSafety at www.esafety.gov.au/report/illegal-harmful-content
As parents/carers, if you become aware that your child/ren have viewed inappropriate or disturbing content and are concerned about their wellbeing, please contact the school for support.
