The Community Engagement subcommittee of the NPS School Council is recruiting!!
We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic parents/carers to join the group to help coordinate events to engage our school community.
We have a handful of events in mind (i.e. a movie night or a quiz night; art fair; lego competition) but are open to suggestions for novel events, particularly those drawing on the diverse array of cultures within the school.

School Safety Boundaries Group Meeting @ 4:00 pm
School Safety Boundaries Project Working Group 15/6/22 4:00 pm @ staffroom or join on your computer or mobile app. Our aim for the meeting is to develop a brief. A suggestion is that we should adopt the one that was previously written for the detailed master plan including landscaping options.
Did you know Nightcliff Primary School had a Bike Hospital?
As part of the school's suite of road safety and active travel initiatives, a group of volunteers run a mobile bike hospital outside the middle year's bike lockup.
The Bike Hospital operates every Wednesday morning from 7.45 to 8.15 am. Our volunteers do a range of running repairs on kids' and parents'/carers bikes.
So if you have a flat tyre or squeaky brakes, come along on a Wednesday morning and our bike doctors will fix it for you.
(We are looking for volunteers to help fix bikes so come along on a Wednesday morning if you want to be involved.)
