Footy Colours Day – Wednesday 17th September

Get ready to show your team spirit! On Wednesday 17th September, our school will be celebrating Footy Colours Day. Children are invited to come to school wearing the colours of their favourite football team – whether it’s AFL, NRL, soccer, or even your local club.

This fun day isn’t just about sporting pride, it’s also a way for our school community to support a great cause. Footy Colours Day raises funds to help children and young people living with cancer.

Students are encouraged to bring a gold coin donation to contribute. Every little bit makes a difference and helps support kids and families facing tough challenges.

Let’s wear our colours with pride and help make a positive impact in our community!

I Am Malala - Book Drive

Currently, our Year 5/6 students are reading the Young Readers edition of 'I Am Malala'. 

As part of this learning experience, families at Newport Lakes Primary School have the opportunity to support the Malala Fund - an organisation dedicated to ensuring every girl has the chance to learn and shape her own future.

To contribute to this inspiring cause, we are offering all families of all year levels the opportunity to purchase copies of the adult edition of 'I Am Malala' from the school at a very low price of $5.00 per book. All money raised from book sales will be donated directly to the Malala Fund.

Order your books via CompassTix  -  HERE

Donations/orders will close on Friday 31st October 2025, unless supply is exhausted beforehand.

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani female education activist, and producer of film and television. She is the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in history, receiving the prize in 2014 at age 17, and is the second Pakistani and the only Pashtun to receive a Nobel Prize. Her book 'I am Malala' is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
