Christian Leadership Program 2024 - Apply now!

 

The Christian Leadership Program is an initiative that aims to grow students in their knowledge of Jesus while learning practical skills for following and serving Him.

 

Students who participate in the program will be involved in training seminars throughout the year where they will learn what it means to live out their faith and be people who lead through serving. 

 

Over the course of the year, students will have the benefit of hearing from speakers who will encourage them to think about their faith and give them practical tools to share this faith with their communities. Students will be given leadership opportunities to encourage them to put their learnings into practice. Participating students will also benefit from developing supportive relationships across the year levels.

 

If you are:

  • a student at NCS in Years 5-9 (2023) 
  • keen to grow as a Christian, leader and servant of Jesus and his people, then consider applying for this program.

 

Interested students from the current Years 5-9 classes will have the opportunity to apply by completing the application form.

 

 

Teachers are also able to nominate students for the program.

Southern Gate Departure Changes

This note concerns all families whose children leave school from the Southern MPC gate in the afternoon.

 

Students are now leaving from the side of the MPC Gallery and walking along a path to an outer gate on Old Southern Rd. The main reasoning behind this was to ensure the children’s safety as they left the school.We ask if all parents who are collecting their children from this gate enter into the school grounds and wait for their children under the MPC gallery. This ensures our duty of care in handing the children over to their parents and avoids any young children waiting or lost beyond the vision of a teacher or carer outside of the gates.

 

The gates are opened by our maintenance team each afternoon on bell time.Thank you for your consideration in this matter.


Picking up your child during the day

Please remember if you need to pick your child up during lunchtime, please make sure you are here by 12.10pm or you may have to wait until lunch is over. It can be difficult to have students come to the office during the lunch break. Thank you.
