School Leadership 2018

I know our school community will join with me in

celebrating our 2018 student leadership team.

Our school captains Sophie Woods and Zac Everett,

and our prefects Eliza Davison, Chaviah Davison-

Knight, Nyarley Kelly, Harry Irvine, Jamari Clarke and

Darby Gordon. At NPS all children are encouraged to be positive role

models, active PBL citizens and positive problem solvers. Thank you to

the students who nominated for this year’s positions, your willingness

to have a go and participate is a wonderful attribute. Please remember

we have many other leadership positions in our school with our Library

Monitors, Tech Team and Sporting House Captains. NPS is full of

extraordinary people doing their very best to ensure our students,

school and community are working together to enhance student

leadership opportunities, understanding and development. Our

children grow their personalities, dream their dreams and ignite their

passions within our space with people who care greatly about their

wellbeing and education.

Community Link Up and Careers Day

The NPS Community Team has excelled

again with another well-supported

community event. The 2017 Community

Link Up and Careers Day had in excess of

20 participating groups. Children from

both Narromine High School and Narromine Public School gained knowledge of local supports and employment

opportunities and pathways. Headspace representative Nic Steep presented to the children in Years 5 and 6 around

resilience and bullying, while Centracare and Mission Australia supported the day with donations of peoplepower,

bread and sausages to ensure all the participants were well fed. Thank you to all our stallholders and to the

organising team Crystal Paine, Kerry Walden, Kirsty Kelly (NPS) and Jan Davison (NHS).

Remembrance Day On 11 November three students from Year 6 represented the school at the Remembrance Day ceremony. It was a moving occasion with the students also placing poppies to remember each member of our community who fell in World War I. This was an important time for Australia 100 years ago, with the Battle of Beersheba just ended. A number of Narromine's light horsemen fought in that famous battle. At the same time, in Belgium, a dreadful battle was going on that became known as Passchendaele. There were 12 000 Australians killed in about twelve weeks. Mr Webb would like to thank Amy Smith, Chloe Corderoy and Abigail Ballhausen for coming in on a Saturday to represent our school. Many thanks also to their parents for bringing them in. - Jock Webb AP Stage 3 Excursion 2018 A reminder to parents and carers of students in Stage 3 2018 – the $100 deposit for the excursion to Illawarra/Mogo in Term 1 2018 is due by Monday 11 December (week 10) to secure your child’s place on the excursion in 2018.
