It has been a fantastic start to 2026 at NMPS! Our positive momentum has continued throughout the first few weeks, and it has been wonderful to see students across all year levels so settled, confident and engaged in their learning.
Highlights so far
A whole school highlight of the term so far was our Meet the Teacher/Specialist Open Classroom event held in Week 2. Although the sessions were brief, they provided a valuable opportunity to connect, put names to faces and begin strengthening the important partnership between home and school. Thank you to the many families who were able to attend.
If you were unable to join us and would like to connect with your child’s teacher, please feel welcome to make an appointment via Compass at a time that suits you.
Another highlight of the term for our Year 4 students was their annual camp in Anglesea, where they enjoyed an exciting surfing experience. They had a fantastic time building their skills, challenging themselves and making wonderful memories together. We were delighted to hear all about their adventures and the highlights of their time at camp.
