Welcome to the NDPS Community

We are delighted to welcome you to our little school.

There are many ways for you to be involved, as often as you like.

We pride ourselves on developing healthy, supportive relationships with our community through a range of experiences.

Parents and friends are often invited to attend special events, such as our termly Junior Showcase events, sporting activities, arts performances, working bees, community events and so much more.

Working bees are a great opportunity for parents and family members to come along, get some jobs done and have fun with others. We love volunteers!

School Council

At NDPS we are proud of our active and supportive School Council. The Council meets about eight times a year and is responsible for school governance. Our parents work hard to achieve great things for our school in a range of different areas, including "Buildings & Grounds" and "Fundraising". We welcome and support any participation both through formal School Council membership and informally through working bees,fundraising activities, volunteer reading helpers and student workshops.

 

Volunteers

We love volunteers and firmly believe that we all benefit from community involvement in NDPS. We regularly invite people to help with our vegetable garden, small maintenance projects, fundraising, cooking, art activities (quilling) and environmental workshops (DIGS). This often occurs during Kupa Ngal, a fortnightly Friday afternoon activity time. If you have a particular skill and time you can offer, please let us know.

Non- parents and permanent volunteers will need a free volunteer Working With Children Check

Parent Support

Parent Information Sessions are held throughout the year to inform parents of School Strategic Plan directions and various educational practices employed at NDPS.

We also support parents with advice on how they can assist their children's learning and wellbeing at home. These often link to topics such as, Literacy and Early Reading, Numeracy, Wellbeing etc. Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like covered. We encourage parents to engage in regular discussion with staff and welcome questions from parents as they arise.
