This week has brought some unexpected news of a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown so we wanted to provide some resources to our community to help with everyone’s health, safety, and wellbeing. Please see below some trusted websites that might be useful for both parents/carers and children.

Legal Documents/Court Order
As shared on Compass last week we have updated our procedures for receiving legal documentation such as court orders, parenting orders, intervention orders, etc.
If you have legal documentation/information that the school needs to adhere to, we require you to either hand the documents to the front office staff or email them to north.melbourne.ps@education.vic.gov.auOnce the documentation has been received, you will be sent an email confirmation of receipt.
If you require assistance with photocopying these documents the front office staff will be more than happy to assist.
Response to Behaviour Procedure
As part of our focus on Wellbeing this year, we are in the process of updating our whole school Response to Behaviour procedure. This is currently going through different levels of consultation and will be shared with our community once completed.
We look forward to working with our whole community as we further delve into Wellbeing at NMPS.
Individual Education Plans
The Department of Education has delivered new guidance on Individual Education Plans formally known as Individual Improvement Plans at NMPS. These plans are required for our students that are funded under The Program for Students with Disabilities, in Out of Home Care, and our Koorie students as part of the Marrung Education plan. Staff are busily reviewing the new requirements and documentation and I will be in touch with families this relates to in the coming week.
