Farewell to two valued staff members

Two of our valued staff members, Mrs Ruth Millburn and Mrs Jen Pearse will be retiring this week. We thank them for their wonderful service to our school and relevant staff will be involved in events to farewell each of them during this week. We will have all the images from their farewell events and more detailed articles on Mrs Millburn and Mrs Pearse's time at NCS in the next edition of Bytes.

Position Vacant - School Cleaner - Part Time

Do you know someone who would be suitable for this role?

Please check for Head Lice

A number of cases of head lice have been reported within our school community (including Secondary).

Head lice are spread mostly by direct head to head contact but may also be spread by sharing of hats, combs and other hair accessories. Anyone can get head lice.

To prevent the spread of head lice, it is recommended you check your child(ren) daily over the next few weeks and on a regular basis thereafter. Head lice are much easier to treat if caught early.  

Please inform the school if your child presents with head lice and ensure they are treated before returning. 

COVID-19 Test Register Form

It is important that we continue to be vigilant in ensuring that staff and students do not attend school or work if they are unwell.  Please note the following:

• Students absent or sent home due to flu-like symptoms need to be tested for COVID-19.
• Staff and students must not return to school or work until they receive a negative COVID-19 result and are symptom-free.
• Staff and students who have had a COVID-19 test must complete the COVID-19 Test Register before returning to school. This form will require you to upload a screenshot of the test results.
• If the student or staff member is still displaying ongoing symptoms that are typical of a condition such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), they can provide a medical certificate from their GP to continue to attend school.
