Important Information and Updates

Photographer Needed!

We are currently in the process of giving our website a much-needed facelift, and as part of this process, we need to update the photos we have on file. If you are handy with a digital SLR camera and have some knowledge in this space - and - are willing to support us by undertaking a "NPS photoshoot", please contact the office. 

Photos needed would be of our buildings and grounds, learning spaces, specialist programs, and images of the wonderful teaching and learning programs we offer. :) 

SFOE - Is Your Information Correct?

When students enrol in a Victorian DET school and enrolment paperwork is completed, parents/caregivers are asked to indicate their levels of education as well as their current occupation at the time. This information makes up what we call our SFOE, or, Student Family Occupation Index. 

This 'index' is used to determine a school's socio-economic profile and helps identify students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This additionally informs DET, where schools are then allocated additional funding, known as equity funding, to support students who may require additional learning support.

If, as a parent/caregiver, you believe your employment details have changed, please get in touch with the administration office so we can update our information. Thank you.
