Principal's Report

Happy week 6 everyone! Crazy to think how fast time is going. Since the last newsletter we've had a halloween dress up and curriculum day. Tomorrow we have the F/1/2 bush dance and sleepover at school. Looking ahead, some more things on the calendar:

• 2026 Foundation transition sessions 
• Grade 6 transition expo
• Kitchen Garden (4/5/6)
• NPS Bake Sale (week 10, 11th December)
• Grade 6 graduation

Ysterday to mark Remembrance Day the Grade 6s went to Woodend RSL to speak and lay a  wreathe. It was a lovely service with our kids speaking proudly and clearly. All schools involved did a great job. Back on site at NPS we had our own mini service run by Kaidie and Marluka. From all reports it was a special few minutes. 

As you may have seen on Compass this week, we congratulate Sienna on becoming a member of our teaching staff for 2027 and beyond. Most of you have likely seen her around, she's had a big impact on our kids already. We're excited to have her join the team!

BAKE SALE

Students will work in groups as their "stalls". They will decide what they'd like to sell (again, like Student Council said at assembly, making it as easy and simple as possible), it may be a food or a craft. On the day they will set up the stall and students/families are welcome to purchase from others to enjoy what's been made. Items will be between $1 and $5. More information to come for those that haven't been apart of a bake sale before. For those that have, we have some changes in mind to make the process more smooth. 

END OF YEAR REPORTS

Staff are finalising assessment results and preparing this information for the final school report for 2025. This will be made available to families via Compass the last week of school.

NEW TOILETS ARE OPEN

The wait is over, we're in!

ELECTION DAY 

NPS is an election venue on the 28th November. We'll be putting the call out to anyone around around to help cook a sausage or help with our Scholastic Book Fair on the day. The school receives 50% of all sales from the books we sell. Please keep an eye on Compass or WhatsApp groups if you're able to help.
