Parents & Friends Group News
The NMPS Parents & Friends Association are hosting a Harmony Day Bake Sale outside the Errol St Library at this year’s Harmony Day Picnic on Friday 21 March, 3:30-5:30pm.
We are inviting donations of home-made baked goods to contribute to our fund-raising efforts. In the spirit of Harmony Day we’d especially like to encourage an assortment of cultural delicacies, celebrating our community’s favourite foods and traditions from around the world. All donations can be dropped off on the day of the event, between 8:30am-3pm, at the Errol St Office.
Please note: donated baked items need to be labelled clearly with all ingredients, your name & child’s class. No cream or items requiring refrigeration please. Parent volunteers are also needed to assist at the bake sale!

We are looking forward to seeing you all there :)

Parents and Friends overview Who are P&F?
We are a small group of parent volunteers who organise fundraising and social activities that bring our school community together.
Who can join P&F?
Anyone who cares about our school and is willing to help out with or lead activities and events.
What’s the commitment? Meetings are held at least monthly, usually on a Tuesday evening at a local venue near the school. Members can lead activities or provide support and assistance where possible/convenient. New members and ideas are always welcome! If you can’t attend the meetings, you are welcome to join our ‘keep in touch’ list and we’ll call on you to volunteer from time to time.
What’s in it for me?
It’s a great way to get to know other members of the school community and feel connected to the school and your child’s education. We are a small, friendly group where you will feel welcome and valued. Volunteering is rewarding!
