Important Notices

Year 7 Excursion cancelled

The Yr 7 Excursion that was planned for this Monday 22 March has been cancelled due to flooding forecast in the area.

Mobile Phones

A reminder that students are not to use their mobile phones while at school.  This includes when messaging parents/carers to come and collect them if they feel sick.  If feeling unwell, students are to come to the office where we will follow our first aid procedures. 

Parents and Carers are asked not to message or ring your child/ren during the day.  Once your child/ren arrive at school, they are under the School's Duty of Care.  If you need to convey a message to your child/ren, please contact the office on 4422 1199 and we will ensure your message in relation to this request is passed on.  We thank you for your understanding and support in this area.

Community Profile Survey

We want our parents to tell us what you think!

We are conducting a survey to better understand the reasons why parents/carers choose to send their children to our school. The Christian Schools Community Profile: WHY PARENTS CHOOSE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS survey is offered by Christian Schools Australia. It is being conducted amongst all families with children enrolled in participating Christian schools. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents/carers’ choice of school, their satisfaction with their children’s learning, their engagement in the school community and their general background. Our school will use the survey results to help gain a better understanding of our community, to inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. All families have been invited to participate in the survey. The survey is conducted online and will only takes 15-20 minutes to complete.  The survey can be accessed at any convenient time within the fieldwork period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. 

All responses to the survey are anonymous. The survey will be conducted from Monday 8 March to Thursday 1 April 2021.

Parents/carers received an email last Monday with the link to the survey. Please check your SPAM folders if you have not received this information. If you have not already completed the survey, please remember to do so soon.

Please do not hesitate to contact our Community Relations Manager, Amanda Herring, at amandaherring@ncs.nsw.edu.au if you have any general queries about the survey.

Arriving late reminder

A reminder to all students, that if they arrive late (close to or after 8.25am for Secondary and close to or after 8.35am for Primary), they MUST stop at the school office window to ensure they are marked late and not absent. Thank you.

Carpark Safety

Just a reminder that if you drive your child/ren to school, please do not let your child/ren walk from the carpark into school on their own.   We ask that you either use the 'kiss and drop' lane or if you are using the carpark, you must accompany your child/ren from the car as you cross the carpark.

We will be holding some Kindergarten Open Mornings during the year. These are tailored for families who do not currently have children enrolled at NCS. There will be other transition opportunities provided for our current families who have a Kindergarten child coming next year.

COVID-19 Test Register Form

It is important that we continue to be vigilant in ensuring that staff and students do not attend school or work if they are unwell.  Please note the following:

• Students absent or sent home due to flu-like symptoms need to be tested for COVID-19.
• Staff and students must not return to school or work until they receive a negative COVID-19 result and are symptom-free.
• Staff and students who have had a COVID-19 test must complete the COVID-19 Test Register before returning to school. This form will require you to upload a screenshot of the test results.
• If the student or staff member is still displaying ongoing symptoms that are typical of a condition such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), they can provide a medical certificate from their GP to continue to attend school.
