Dear Families,

It was so nice to start the day with students walking to school from George Lay Park for Walk Safely to School Day.

Today we celebrated the work our wonderful Education Support (ES) staff do at SHNPS.

Education Support Day is a day to honour and recognise the extraordinary contribution education support staff make to education.

We thank our ES staff for all that they do in classrooms, the office, the sickbay and in maintaining the school. Our school wouldn’t run as smoothly as it does without the support of each and every one of our ES staff members. From the SHNPS community thank you to all of our ES staff.

Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS)

The AtoSS is a voluntary student survey offered by the Department of Education every year to help schools and the department understand students' experiences of school. We will ask your child about their thoughts and feelings about their school, their learning, relationships with other students, resilience, bullying, health and wellbeing.

Our Year 4, 5 and 6 students will be invited to participate in the AtoSS between 2nd June and 13th June. The survey will be conducted during class time using a purpose built secure online survey tool.

This survey has been running for nearly 20 years and helps schools plan programs and activities to improve your child's engagement with school, their wellbeing and their learning. The survey data also helps the Department of Education understand how to improve student learning.

This survey is voluntary. If you do not want your child to do the survey, please let your child's classroom teacher know.

More information about the administration of the AtoSS will be shared directly to families of students in Year 4, 5 and 6 via SeeSaw.

2026 Foundation Students

Congratulations to all of our students who represented SHNPS at Divisional Cross Country on Tuesday. Our students once again represented the school with pride and displayed the school values at all times. Congratulations to Chelsea and Jimmie who will represent our school at the next level.
