Message from Principal Sarah

Welcome Back 

Welcome back to school and Term 3. I hope that everyone has had an opportunity to rest and recharge for the term ahead, which will prove to be a very busy term!

Throughout the term we have a number of school events planned, starting with acknowledging and celebrating NAIDOC Week last week. 

NAIDOC Week holds great significance in our nation's history and culture. It is a time when we come together as a school community to honour and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year's theme, For Our Elders called upon us to recognise the importance of elders not only in our own cultural communities, but also indigenous communities. I thank our Year 3-6 students for sharing their insights and learnings about NAIDOC week at our Senior Assembly last week.

Moving forward some school events we have planned for the rest of the term include the Australian Maths Competition, Book Week, Cyber Safety Incursions (Years 3-6), Project Rocket Incursions (Years 3-6), ‘Kids in Space’ Victorian Showcase (students from Year 3, 5 & 6 involved) and the continuation of our Camp program for Year 5 (snow camp), Year 1 (Camp experience day) and Year 2 (Camp experience week). We look forward to these events and sharing our experiences with the school community.

Welcoming New Staff

This term we welcome Hannah Sinclair and Bre Chapman to the North Melbourne Primary School team. Hannah has replaced Sarah C teaching 4D on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and Bre has replaced Emily in Prep D. Hannah and Bre have had a busy start at NMPS, and we wish them both the very best for a successful transition to teaching at NMPS. 

We will also be welcoming an additional staff member to teach 1C during the term. Once confirmed we will share this news with the school community.

Baby News

We would like to send our congratulations and warm wishes to Sarah Connors and her family as they welcomed baby Imogen into the world on 13.07.2023. 

Everyone is going well, and Imogen has two smitten big brothers! We are excited to welcome yet another addition to our NMPS family.
