Welcome BBQ

It was great to see so many of our families at our welcome BBQ. Below are some snaps from the evening.

Choir

NPS Choir has resumed this year under the guidance of our Chaplin Tam. Firstly we have started with the 5/6 group, who are all very keen to 'brush up' their singing skills. We have commenced choir practice on Thursdays with a possible Year 4 choir under discussion due to high demand!

The group is looking forward to presenting songs at assembly and ANZAC day. Please remind your child/ren to practice at home if they have committed to choir for 2023.

 

Naplan Testing

 

Naplan Testing will be taking place in Week 9, 20th March - 24th March. Students in Year 3 and Year 5 will be participating. We have been preparing children for this testing over the last few weeks. If you do not want your child to participate in these tests - please contact your classroom teacher.

 

Parent Teacher Interviews

This year we will be running our parent-teacher interviews differently from previous years. There will be no classes scheduled for the Wednesday 5th April - students will not attend school but are encouraged to come with their parent to the interviews which will run all day. Bookings will be released soon in Compass.
