The library needs your help!
There are boxes and boxes of amazing books just waiting to be covered AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We’ve had some awesome parents help out, but there’s still even more to do... If we all do a small stack of books they’ll be covered and on the shelves for the students to borrow in no time at all. You don’t need any experience, I’m happy to give you a demo.
Meet me in the Meeting Room (Just down the passage from the library) on these days:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: 8:45 – 9am
Thank you!
~ Paula Stafford,– FPS Librarian

Interested in Hosting an International Student?
Northcote High School is seeking homestays from our local community to help care for new international student arrivals (Year 10 –11 age group) in July 2023. The international students are mainly from Asian countries, such as China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Thailand and they will continue to complete their VCE studies.
Hosting International Students can bring a rich cross cultural experience and opportunity for families.
