From the Principal

Welcome back to Paradise! I certainly hope the holiday break was enjoyable for you all and you’re ready for another busy and exciting term at North. There are some minor changes to our world re COVID-19 guidelines and we’ll work through them and keep our focus on being the best we can be for our kids. Kindergarten Orientation and Year 6 Farewell are back on the agenda albeit a little different. Lots to get through given it is Term 4 but I’m sure we’ll make the most of the opportunities that present.

A quick check sees us with 20 Kindergarten enrolment forms completed, given we’re anticipating 30-32 enrolments there’s still a lot of families that need to get this sorted. Your support with this request is greatly appreciated.

If you haven’t got your enrolment forms from the front office it is time to do so.
