Message from Principal Sarah

As always it has been another busy two weeks at NMPS! We have had the Family BBQ Brekky, multiple camps, excursions and sports days to name a few events. We thank everyone who has participated and assisted us with these events and trust every experience was enjoyed by all.

Next week will be the final week of Term 3. School will finish at 2:15pm (Errol Street Campus) and 2:30pm (Molesworth Street Campus) on Friday 19th September.

Respectful Behaviours within the School Community

As we head into the final week of Term 3, I would like to remind all families that at NMPS, we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all students, staff, and families. We all have a role to play in upholding our values. 

If you have a concern regarding your child, we ask that you always bring it directly to your child’s classroom teacher in the first instance. Our teachers are best placed to listen, provide context, and work with you towards a resolution. To protect the wellbeing of all students, under no circumstances should parents approach other students or their families about school-related concerns.

Our school community thrives on trust and mutual respect. For this reason, we ask that families refrain from discussing other students or families with one another.

Conversations about specific children outside of the appropriate school channels can unintentionally cause harm, spread misinformation, or breach privacy.

By following these expectations, we ensure that every child feels safe, respected, and supported, and that families can confidently engage in a positive school environment. Your partnership in maintaining these standards is essential to our community spirit and student success.

Parent/Carers Opinion Survey Reminder

As shared in previous newsletters, our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey and is seeking your feedback. The survey, offered by the Department of Education, is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. 

Your opinions are important to us and will contribute to identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies. 

The survey link is available via Compass and will remain open online until Friday 19 September 2025.

The survey is being conducted online and only takes 20 minutes to complete. It can be completed on any internet enabled device (desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and is compatible with most browsers.

The survey is available in English and 10 other languages: Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese. If you require assistance in another language, resources may be available for you. Please reach out to the front office if you require assistance in another language.

If you haven’t already, please take the time to complete this survey before Friday 19th September. Thank you!

Happy Holidays

We hope everyone has a lovely Term 3 break and we look forward to seeing all students back at school on Monday 6th October.
