Grandfriend Project

 We are very excited to announce the introduction of N.F.S.S Grandfriend 2020 project, in conjunction with AVEO Newstead Aged care Community.  The aim of this project is to foster cross generational links between our school and AVEO.  Research has found that these links have positive effects on both generations. 

Classes involved in the project will be allocated a Grandfriend for the year.  These volunteers will be involved in a range of classroom projects from reading to excursion helpers and with curriculum links e.g. local history and letter writing.  Teachers will also be inviting their Grandfriend to special school events throughout the year e.g. Anzac Day and Leadership assemblies.

This morning we hosted some prospective Grandfriends and hope they will soon be regular visitors in our school.
