Principals message
Welcome to 2024. Especially welcome to all Year 7 and new students. A warm welcome to Narrandera High School. I am looking forward to a great 2024 and seeing all the amazing activities and experiences the students at Narrandera High School have the opportunity to be a part of.
Welcome to our new staff:
- Mr Radesh Sewnarain (Mathematics and Science)
- Mrs Toni Moore (MC Classes)
- Mr Scott Watterson (Music)
- Ms Lauren Taylor (English - Wednesday to Friday)
- Ms Christine Collins (English – Monday, Tuesday and Thursday)
- Mr Tom Dore (PE – Monday to Wednesday)
Students look amazing in the new school uniform, and I am thankful to students and families for how enthusiastically they have embraced this change. Some items in the uniform have sold out and have been reordered. There will be a post on the school Facebook page when these items are back in stock.
The uniform shop opening hours are:
- Tuesday 8:30am to 10:00am
- Thursday 8:30am to 10:00am
Some reminders about uniform:
- Students are to wear their black leather shoes and change into their sports shoes for PE.
- Shorts are black with no obvious logos. Football shorts, leggings and, bike shorts are not uniform.
- Shorts and skorts are to be an appropriate length for school.
- Hoodies are not to be worn including under shirts or other jumpers.
Any families who are experiencing financial difficulties can apply for student assistance by seeing a member of the wellbeing team (Year Advisors, Aboriginal Education Officers, Student Support Officer, Head Teacher Wellbeing) which can be used to purchase school uniforms.
I have included a list of the school Executive, Year Advisors and Wellbeing staff. These staff can be contacted for subject and wellbeing concerns. The classroom teacher should be the first point of contact questions and queries which relate to a specific subject.
School Executive can be contacted if you have a question or concern about a subject specific matter.
