Canberra Camp

Thank you to all Year 5 and 6 Families who returned an expression of interest and deposit for the Canberra Camp in Term 4. Families can make additional payments towards the camp throughout term 2 and 3 if they wish. 'Centrepay' can also be organised to help with progressive payments towards camp.

Senior Winter Sports

We had our first Winter Sports game on Friday last week in Nathalia, the students represented the school well. We are at home this week with our first softball games, good luck to all students involved.

Uniform

It was fantastic to see the faces of our Year 6 students yesterday as they received their printed items of uniform.

I would like to highlight some of the sections of our Student Uniform Policy to remind families of our uniform requirements. Some of the items being worn by students are not part of our uniform at Numurkah PS. Please have a talk with your child/children to ensure they are in full school uniform. As the colder weather starts please ensure jackets are labelled. Hoodies are not permitted at school.

General uniform

Plain black shorts or skorts without decoration or brand name and in Winter can be worn with black tights/stockings. Shorts should be of an appropriate length. As the weather becomes colder students may wear a long sleeve top underneath their polo shirt, however, this needs to be in school colours.

Jewellery and cosmetics

Students are not permitted to wear decorative jewellery to school. Stud earrings and sleepers worn in the ears, and watches, are the only acceptable jewellery.

Footwear

Appropriate footwear is to be worn. Summer sandals with covered toes, black school shoes or pull on black school boots or black runners are permitted. No thongs or open-toed sandals are permitted.
