Week 3 Term 1
Nightcliff Primary School
We’re thrilled to begin another exciting year of learning and growth. We've had a wonderful start to the year with our morning tea, bringing together staff and families to celebrate and connect. 2025 promises to be a year filled with new opportunities, challenges, and achievements. Together, as a community of students, families, and staff, we will continue to foster a positive, inspiring environment where every student can thrive. We can’t wait to see what this year holds and look forward to a successful year ahead!
Kind regards,
Principal Ranae Graham

Teamwork Takes Off in 6 Mackie
6 Mackie has started the year with group challenges that helped build strong teamwork. The students worked together, communicated, and trusted each other to achieve common goals. These activities have created a positive, collaborative energy that’s set the tone for the year ahead.
