Parents' Club

Classroom Friendship Lists

Parents’ Club coordinates an annual ‘Classroom Friendship List’. This is a contact list of families in your child’s class to help parents connect, organise playdates, and share quick reminders (like ‘Icy Pole Day!’) to keep us busy parents aware. Each class will have a nominated Class Rep who creates a group chat (WhatsApp, email, etc.) to share updates and grow community within the classes. 

 

Please note - These lists are only shared within your child’s class. They are for social and school information connection only. They are not for business use or sharing outside of NLPS. 

 

To have your details on the list, complete the online form via the link - HERE  by Friday 20th February.
