Dear Parents / Carers

It’s been so nice at NHPS this last week with the sun finally

shining. It seems that Spring has arrived and things are warming

up (just in time for the holidays). The teachers are reminding all

students that if they do not have a school hat then they must

stay under the weather shed. Could you please assist your

children in taking on responsibility for bringing their school hat

every day.

What a great success Footy Colours Day was last Friday.

Everyone looked fantastic in the colours of their favourite

sporting team and the SRC raised $163.00 for Kids Cancer

research. The highlight of the day though was the teachers

triumphing 2-1 over the Year 6 students in the touch footy

game. We celebrated over the weekend with a few scrapes,

bruises and sore muscles but it was totally worth it. Better luck

next time kids!

Today we had a visiting performance at our school from “The

King and Queen of Green”. The show came with an important

message about the simple things we can all do to reduce the

amount of single use plastic ending up in the waste stream and

eventually the ocean. When you get a chance please have a

chat with your children about this important message and ask

them what they learnt from the show.

This Friday’s assembly will be the last for this term. Please come

along for both the 3/4B item as well as the inaugural

performance by the new School Band. The band is being

taught and conducted by Ryley Gillen, an ex-student of NHPS

who now works as a professional musician.
