2024 Student Multiple Permissions Form

ACTION REQUIRED ASAP!

Each year we ask all NPS families to complete a multiple permission form via Compass. This informs us if parents and caregivers give consent for specific annual permissions such as head lice checks, local excursions, photography, and the use of students' images in school social media.  Please access and complete these on your Compass app as soon as possible.  If you are having trouble seeing this on your phone, please try 'open in browser' as this may help. If you require support to complete these actions, please contact the office.

If your family would like to donate to the prize pool, please send items to the office by Friday 15th March.

Second Hand Uniform Cupboards 

Do you know that our second hand uniform cupboards are always open to our school community?  They are located in our main school building, just around from our reception desk. Families are welcome to look through the items before or after school on any day. 

The office also accepts donations of clean, good condition uniform items to resupply this cupboard/service to our school. 

We ask that, if able, please give a gold coin donation to the office for each item taken from the cupboards.
