Fiona is happy to stand again for re-election for a further 2 years.  If there are any other possible parent candidates who would like to put their name forward to be considered for this position, please email office@ncs.nsw.edu.au by Friday 10 May 2024 so an official nomination form can be sent to you.

All candidates must agree with and live out the school’s statement of faith.

Are you ready for School Photo Day - Monday 13 May

Students will need to be dressed in their best full school uniform. Please make sure your child's uniform is clean and tidy. Due to the busyness of the front office, no uniforms will be sold on the day, so please ensure you purchase your children's uniform prior to photo day, if needed.

• Primary Boys - 'navy shorts/pants with red polo'
• Secondary Girls - 'navy shorts/pants/skirt with blue blouse or navy tartan dress'

Afternoon Student Pickup

If you need to collect your child early for an appointment or convey any alternate plans to catch the bus, go to car lines etc., this will need to be done prior to 2.30pm.  Due to how busy the Front Office and classrooms are after 2:30pm, we cannot make late arrangements after this time.

Absences

If your child will be absent for school, it would be appreciated if you could complete and submit the below form or call the school office on Ph: 4422 1199 prior to school starting. If no notification is received, an SMS will be sent out to you which will require your response and reason for your child's absence.

This form can be completed in advance if you know your child will be away from school for any reason.

Late to school

Please be reminded that students are required to be outside their classrooms at the following times:

8:25am Secondary

8:35am Primary

Infants parents/carers, you may walk your child to their class before the school bell, but once school has started, they will need to walk themselves to their class on their own.

If your child is late to school, please ask them to come to the window next to the front office to check in. If they are not with an adult, you will receive an SMS to confirm that you are aware of their late arrival to school.

Old football boots wanted!

If you have any football (soccer) boots that your children have outgrown, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to give them a new purpose. We have an upcoming Secondary Zone Football (Soccer) Gala Day in Term 2 and several of our students are eager to participate but lack proper footwear. It would be wonderful if we could gather a small assortment of donated boots to lend to these students for this event. If you have any old football boots that you would be willing to contribute, kindly send them to Miss Bignell in the PDHPE Dept. Thank you for your generosity!

Before School Drop Off & Supervision

Student supervision begins at 8:10 am. Parents are asked not to drop students at school before this time. It is understood that buses arrive earlier than this. For those students who routinely arrive by bus before 8:10, they are expected to sit until supervision begins. It is suggested that they have a book or something else to do during this time.
