Thank you to our P&C!  

A huge THANK YOU to the P&C for raising a total of $16178.65 in donations from the Obstathon last term! An amazing feat and thanks to all the families that supported this event. These funds have been gratefully received and will help support our NFSS Arts curriculum for 2021. We have purchased 5 brand new 3D printers and can’t wait to put these to good use with our excited students. Looking forward to showcasing our work with you next year!

Here is a photo of our new additions just out of their box:

Olympics unleashed

Recently our Year 6 students met David Mckeon via Microsoft Teams, an Australian competition swimmer who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. David spoke to the students about his journey from competing in school swimming races to reaching Olympic level races. He reminded students that it takes motivation and persistence to achieve success and encouraged students to follow their passions.

On 4 August 2020, an explosion in the heart of Beirut sent a mushroom cloud into the air and a supersonic blastwave radiating through the city. It was felt in Turkey, Syria, Israel, Palestine and parts of Europe, and was heard in Cyprus, more than 250 km away and was considered one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosion in history.

We thank Erin and her family for being so caring and supporting others in need across the globe. Erin and her family chose to donate the money to Lebanon as they wanted to help others and these people were greatly in need.
