NPS School Concert Recap

From start to finish, our annual school concert was a whirlwind of joy and talent! The energy in the auditorium was positively infectious. To all the students, teachers, and parents who made this amazing evening possible, a heartfelt thank you. Your hard work and creativity brought smiles to so many faces and filled our hearts with happiness. 

If you would like to order a keepsake digital recording of the 2026 School Concert, these can be pre-ordered from our Production Partner, SC Productions HERE.

The order portal is open and will remain open until the last day of the school term. 

Father’s Day Breakfast Wrap 

Our Father’s Day breakfast was a fun celebration of the dads, father‑figures and special people in our school community. The school ground was buzzing as families gathered to enjoy egg‑and‑bacon rolls, fresh fruit, hot coffee and upbeat tunes. A huge thank you to the countless staff who made the morning possible, led by Jarrod McKinnis and Ali Giuricin. We’re also incredibly grateful to the parent and grandparent helpers who stepped in to support the event. A special shout‑out to Sally Smith, Dwayne Croucher, Ash McLachlan, Sally Warren and Emma Wilkins for their helping hands. It was a great morning of celebration and community spirit. Finally, thank you to all those who came along to help make it a positive start to the day. 

Specialist Open Morning (Prep and Junior) Wednesday 16th September

We would like to invite families of our Prep and Junior students to our annual open morning for specialist classes. This year we are able to welcome families into each specialist classroom on the morning of Wednesday, September 16th from 9-11am.

A timetable has been provided to help show the mini lesson schedule for the morning. No need to RSVP, just show up for the experience.

2027 Fundraising Focus

As we do every year, we tag our fundraising efforts to a major area of the school and seek to improve one overall key aspect. In the past, previous fundraising efforts have gone to revitalising the library space, contributed to new asphalt works and line marking, purchased new outdoor furniture, and more! Although we have our own ideas, we are keen to hear from our families as to what you think we might be able to improve, upgrade, or replenish! Please use our 'always on feedback' portal (linked below) to share your ideas! Thank you.

Celebrating our wonderful students both in and out of school!

We just love seeing our students shine, both at school and outside of school. 

Has your child had an amazing achievement or experience recently? If so, we would love to showcase it via our newsletter. If you think there is something that you would like to share within our fortnightly newsletter, please send an email with full details and accompanying photos through to newtown.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
