On Friday 1st February the NPS cricket team travelled to the
Leeton ovals for a fun day of cricket. We played against Leeton
Public School and Small Schools. We lost against Leeton in our
first game and won the second game
against Small Schools. It was a scorching
day but we found a way to have fun.

From the Principal . . . . . . . . . . .
Welcome back to another term of learning and growing together, I trust that each family has had a restful
summer holiday. My name is Derek Noffke and I have been appointed as Relieving Principal of Narrandera
Public School. Throughout the last twelve years I have been Assistant Principal at Griffith Public School,
Principal of Tharbogang Public School, Yenda Public School, Finley Public School, as well as a previous
relieving Principal here at Narrandera. Please feel welcome to come and say hello. If you have any concerns
or worries regarding our school, please come and discuss them with me so I can continue to make this
school a happy and rewarding place for your child/ren.
There are a number of new families to our school this year, I know you will make them feel welcome. I
encourage parents to regularly discuss their children’s progress with their classroom teacher, both
academically and socially throughout the year and encourage parents to become involved with school
activities. These include assemblies, sports carnivals, special events, offering assistance in the classroom and
by becoming involved with P&C. Your children are the ones who benefit the most from your involvement.
Updating your Child’s Health Records
We would appreciate information from parents about their child’s health, even if you are not requesting
specific support from our school. It is important that you let us know if your child’s health care needs
change or if a new health condition develops.
Information about allergies, medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes and other health related issues
should be provided. This will greatly assist our school in planning to support your child’s health and
wellbeing.
Please also remember to notify staff of any changes to your contact details or to the contact
details of other people nominated as emergency contacts.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter and assure you that any information you provide the school
will be stored securely and will only be used or disclosed in order to support your child’s health needs or as
otherwise required by law.
Term Dates
Attached is a Term 1 calendar, with a variety of events placed. Be aware that these are not all events that
are happening this term, as things do get added from time to time. Please place this in a safe place and refer
to it and add to it as the term goes on. This information will also be available on our website.
Have a great week.
