NICS News Week 5 Term 4
02 November 2023
From the Principal’s Desk
Mr Moore is on leave from Friday, 27 October for the rest of the term for a well-earned family holiday, and we look forward to him returning to NICS in 2024. I will be Acting Principal in Mr Moore’s absence.
On Wednesday afternoon this week, parents of Music students from Years 4 to 12 enjoyed a concert in the Music room. The concert showcased the musical talents of our NICS students and was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to Mrs Dixon for supporting the students in organising the performances.
Over the next few weeks, students are undertaking a variety of assessment in all year levels. Please remind our secondary students to ensure that they check their timetable and have the necessary equipment for each lesson, each day. This includes their laptop charged for the day and general stationery, such as a pencil case and calculator.
If your child is not returning to NICS in 2024, please phone the office to let us know.
