Have you seen our beautiful mural?? Make sure you come down to the basketball court to admire it! Thank you to all the families who came along and helped and to Anna and Kelly for their artistic talents and time to make such a beautiful space for our children to play.
We need your help! We don’t run without our volunteers so If you can help out, please get in touch at the link provided or via nlhipandc@gmail.com
Uniform Shop
The uniform shop is seeking one to two volunteers to assist with running the uniform shop. This is to assist with the weekly running of the shop and includes: filling orders, taking payments, fitting students, managing orders and assisting families. This requires on average 30 minutes per fortnight commitment during term which can be shared between 2-3 people to reduce it even further.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about this role or how you can help, please get in touch with Vicki Maltby at
nlhiuniform@gmail.com.
Teacher AppreciationIt is Teacher Appreciation Day on October 27th and to show our appreciation to the teachers at NLHIS, we have a few things planned. We have plans to send home some ‘apples’ for the children to write messages of support, love or other words to their teachers and support staff at the school. The other thing is to fund a lunch for the teachers and support staff during the week of teacher appreciation day to show our own appreciation for their hard work. Please keep an eye out for the apple worksheets coming home with the children soon.
If you can volunteer another Friday in 4, please sign up here:

Call-out for Donation ItemsDo you have wooden fruit and veg? We are seeking donations of wooden fruit to go with the mural update on the basketball court, idea being they will survive the out side conditions and allow the kids to play along once the mural is complete. If you have any and are willing to donate please get in touch with the P&C.
Tea Towel FundraisingMrs Hughes has been working hard with the students to get them to each complete a self-portrait that will be turned into a beautiful keepsake tea towel (see the examples below). These will be ready to purchase next term and are great for your own kitchen or as Christmas and holiday gifts. The tea towel will feature a self-protrai drawing of each child and teacher at the school in 2023. More details to follow soon.
