Message from the Junior School

Congratulations to all of the Junior School students on an excellent start to the year. 

Our Year 8s have provided great role models and have been displaying our school values of Humanity, Fairness, Achievement and Curiosity. We've been especially pleased to see the ways in which students have been broadening their social circles, welcoming new enrolments, meeting new teachers, and connecting with new classmates.

We have had a new cohort of Year 7s join the NHS community and we're already receiving very positive feedback from their teachers and from the students themselves. This is always a big transition in every child's life (and a big moment for their parents and carers as well) so it has been fantastic to see such an encouraging start. 

On Wednesday 25th Feb we have our annual Year 7 Picnic event. It's a great opportunity to get together in a convivial social environment, connect with other parents and carer's, chat with the Year 7 teaching staff, and better get to know our grounds and facilities
