From the principal’s desk
I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, spending time with friends and family. The students have been busily rehearsing in preparation for the “Star Wars” concert next week. Please purchase your tickets form the front office. I look forward to seeing all of the students perform in front of their friends, family and community.
At Tuesday’s assembly, seven students from Year 5 presented their speeches for the role of Junior School Captains for 2022. I would like to congratulate all of the students who spoke with conviction, demonstrating the school values and highlighting their leadership attitudes and attributes. I wish all of the candidates the best of luck!

Enrolments information 2022
A reminder for kindergarten families for 2022 to return the Intention to Enrol paperwork to the front office by Friday, 3rd December. If your family is leaving Norfolk at the end of this year, could you please phone the office to pass on this information? We are currently working on class sizes and structures.
P&C meeting
The next P&C meeting is set for Wednesday, 8th December at 7pm at the school. There will be community consultation regarding the use of the Principal’s residence yard and proposal for an extension to the drop-off zone at the front of the school. Please come along and support the work of the P&C.
Breakfast Club
NI Connect has partnered with NICS to trial a Breakfast Club once a week. This commenced this week with great interest. Next week, secondary students will be able to grab a slice of toast and juice between 8.15am- 8.30am and primary students will be served from 8.30am- 8.45am. This is a trial to gauge interest as to whether we can extend this program further into 2022. Thank you to NI Connect for their continued support of students and families on Norfolk Island.
