Principal’s Report
Dear Parents and Carers, Student Reports
Semester 1 student reports are being sent home with students tomorrow in sealed envelopes. I have enjoyed
reading all reports over the last few weeks. Please read your child’s report in conjunction with the Effort level
descriptions provided on the front page of the report. A “Sound” effort level denotes that a student is applying
satisfactory effort. Please be reminded that this semester’s report format has been modified due to programs
being implemented both on-site and through remote learning during this time. Should you have any questions
regarding your child’s report, please contact their class teacher.
Staffing
Our part-time School Administrative Officer position was required to be filled permanently, as per Department of
Education procedures. This process has now been completed and next term we will welcome Ms Anita Commisso
to our school in this role. We thank Ms Thu Nguyen who has been relieving in this role, and wish her all the best
in her next position.
Kindergarten 2021
Our 2021 Kindergarten Information Session will be held on Tuesday 18 August. Please add this date to your diary
if you have a child commencing school next year and please pass this information on if you are aware of a
neighbour or friend who does. Prior to the session next term, please contact our Administration Office on 9489
1152 or via email at [email protected], and they will arrange to post an information package
to you.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
During this fortnight all classes are revising expectations for transitions between the classroom and the
playground, and between different learning spaces within our school. The Week 9 recipients of our PBL draw
were Kara C and Sebastian V.

Uniform Shop News
In order to adhere to social distancing measures in the shop, we will continue to operate by appointment only
until further notice. Appointments are available for those wishing to try uniforms for size, or to access the second-
hand clothing pool.
Appointments can be booked using the following link: https://signup.com/go/cmDYUyW
Ordering by Email
If you already know the size and items you require, please send us an email with your completed order form and
proof of payment. Please ensure you are using the current order form by downloading it from
http://www.npspandc.com/uniform-shop/
Orders will be packed on Friday and distributed to your child’s classroom for them to bring home. Unfortunately
collection from the school office is not available at present.
Please email your order form and payment by 9am this Friday for packing before the school break. Orders placed
after 9am this Friday will be packed next term (on Friday 24 July).
Revised Pricing – valid from 4 July 2020
We have recently had to review our price list to accommodate increases in cost prices from our suppliers. We
have tried to keep costs down as much as possible and the new prices only apply to a few items.
The new prices will be in place from 4 July onwards. Any orders placed before the end of Term 2 will be processed
at the old prices.
We thank you for your understanding.

Canteen News
We look forward to counter sales resuming in Term 3 and we will be accepting cash at recess and lunch again. The money is cleaned by dropping the cash into a container of sanitizer and the change given back will also have been sanitized. Please remember for frozen treats ordered in the lunch order: the children need to bring their stamped bag to the canteen to collect it (once the teacher has released them for lunch). Please keep the bag to redeem the item, and treat it like cash.
Canteen Volunteer Vacancies
Volunteers will be welcomed back in the Canteen in Term 3, with distancing limits in place. We will need you and I am sure Lisa will be grateful for the extra hands. The volunteer roster can be viewed online in School24 now. Please note: if you (or your child) is unwell, please let us know and do not come to help in the Canteen that day. We are able manage around it. We must ensure the health and safety of our school and the children come first. Enjoy the holiday break and see you in Term 3!

Athletics Carnival
Wednesday 22 July is our Athletics Carnival at Mark Taylor Oval in Waitara. We hope the students are all looking
forward to a great day.
The students will travel to and from the venue by bus. They will leave school at 9.00 a.m. and return by 2.50 p.m.
Students are to wear their full sports uniform, come with a packed lunch and bring a water bottle as the canteen
will not be operating on the day. Please ensure everything is clearly labelled.
The students will be participating in track and novelty events. All other field events will take place at school during
Term 3.
In adhering to Department requirements during the COVID-19 Pandemic, parents will be unable to attend. This
means only students and teachers will be in attendance at the oval.
Looking forward to another fabulous carnival.

Term 3
As many of you may be aware childcare has been free during Term 2. This ceases on 12 July. We appreciate those families who have been marking their children as ‘away’ on our webserver, however if you continue to do this in Term 3, you will be charged the full cost of the session. Marking as ‘away’ will also go towards your 42 allowable absences, which may affect your CCS. If you do not wish for your child to return to NOOSH and do not wish to pay, you can press cancel on the webserver, which will cancel your bookings for the rest of the year. If you choose to do this please note we cannot guarantee you an afternoon booking later in the year due to our waiting list. If you are in any financial difficulty, such as being made redundant, please contact us and we can institute measures such as a payment plan. How NOOSH notifies you
NOOSH informs families of important notifications in a range of ways: email, Facebook, Instagram, the news
section of our website, “NOOSH news” and the school newsletter as well as the notices on our touchscreen.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for up to date information!
Notifications of importance will be sent via email to the parent claiming CCS. If you are not receiving any emails
from either Normanhurst OSHC or Becklyn please let us know and we will ensure that your email address is
correct on your enrolment form.
If your partner receives the emails and you do not, please email us and we can add your email to our list. Another
great thing to do is to make sure the Becklyn emails are not in your junk mail!
July Vacation Care!

Safety Week
Week 5 of each term is safety week! We run a series of lockdown and fire drills and have craft and activities
based on safety throughout the week. Our recent Term 2 safety week included a fire safety talk from a member
of the RFS. We learnt so much!
If you have any other questions, or need any assistance with anything related to NOOSH, please feel free to
