Message from Principal Sally
Farewell to term 3
It is the end of term 3 and the Department of Education & Training surveys and assessments have all been completed and now for the data analysis and 2020 goal setting.
Currently, we have been planning for 2020 classroom/year level grades and classroom allocations. The challenge is always the ability to forecast and account for how many students we may have enrolling in for the new school year.
To support us in our goal of a smooth transition into the new school year we ask for your assistance.
If you know of someone who is planning to enrol, perhaps your new neighbour at Arden Gardens, or a family moving to the area, please suggest an 'urgent request for the application' to be submitted to the school.
All enrolment information is available on our website here.
If you are aware that you will not be returning to NMPS in 2020 and not in Year 6, please inform the office asap via this email.
Thank you to the wonderful staff who have worked so tirelessly this term to present engaging and stimulating learning opportunities for all. Since our last newsletter Year 1 had ‘dinner at school’ camp, Year 5 went to the snow and both Year 2 and Year 6 went on excursions.
Please check the 'Important Dates' page in this newsletter to make yourself familiar with dates for the end of term 3 and start of term 4. Reminder that our website is a wealth of information.
See you back in October 7th after a safe and relaxing school holiday break.

Schools’ privacy policy: information for parents
The Schools’ Privacy Policy outlines for the school community that information about students can be shared to fulfil the schools’ core functions of educating and supporting our students.
The Schools’ Privacy Policy establishes a clarified ‘need to know’ framework, where school staff share information about students with other staff who need to know as part of their role. This is consistent with Victorian privacy law.
