School Community
The School has a strong focus on connecting with the school community as well as the wider district community.
We provide many opportunities for families and the wider community to become involved in the education of our students.
A number of activities are held regularly to promote this connection, including:
- Weekly assembly led by Grade 6 students
- Annual Grandparents & Friends Day
- End of year picnic, concert & Grade 6 graduation events
- Athletics carnival and swimming carnival
- Annual student art exhibition at the Newstead Railway Arts Hub
- Annual casserole evening
- Mother's Day & Father's Day stalls
- Annual education week activities
- School concerts of students learning music
- InSchools Philanthropy projects
NPS has a highly active group of Parents and Friends who engage with school programmes and contribute to fundraising activities.
NPS plays a vital role in the local community.
Our school encourages parents to take an active role in their child’s education in a variety of ways, including formal and informal discussions of children’s progress, participation in class programmes, plus excursions and camps, being members of the school council and community relations committee and by maintaining contact in a variety of media.
The school grounds are extensive with a variety of play spaces, and natural and cultivated areas.
A school bus service is available for students who reside at least 4.8 km. from the school on the current bus route. Please contact the school if your child/ren require bus travel. If a student will be absent from school, if would be helpful to the bus driver if parents could inform the school.
