Nothing quite builds anticipation quite as much as school starting with a fence around a new playground. Earlier this week the fences were finally able to be taken down and students could have a first go on the new Upper Primary Playground. The playground, which was designed with student input, has been a hit. The bigger set of equipment and modern design means our students have more opportunities to play together – and they’ve already found new ways and new games to enjoy th

It was perfect weather last week for our annual Swim Safe week for all Year 2-6 students. Swim safety and a love of water is a vital part of growing up and we are always excited to provide this opportunity to our students. No doubt your kids came home with great stories, lots of washing and just a little bit of tiredness. Thanks for your support and we look forward to Foundation and Year 1 swimming towards the end of the year.

Our weekly Chapel program is a highlight for all students at PPN. And, if enthusiasm is anything to go by it appears our students have missed it over the holidays! Parents are welcome and invited to attend our chapels each Thursday: Lowers at 9am and Middle/Uppers at 10am (unless otherwise advised).

The 2026 school year is off to a flying start here at Prescott Primary Northern. After sitting silent over the holidays our grounds and classrooms are once again full – full of people, but also full of learning, laughing and growing. A huge welcome to both new and returning students, and all the families that make up our wonderful PPN community. We have some wonderful things planned for the year. This week’s newsletter is full of important information as we start the year, pl

In Visual Arts during Terms 1 & 2 our Year 1 students had fun experimenting with various  art techniques. They used drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and textiles to create their individual pieces of artwork. The students then chose their favourite piece to enter in the Junior Art, Craft and Design section of the Royal Adelaide Show. Many of the students then took pleasure in going to the show to see if they managed to win one of the prizes. Schools from all over South Au

We’re incredibly proud of the 14 students who represented our school at the recent Chess Tournament. Competing against both primary and high school teams, our students showed remarkable skill and determination. The team placed 1st among primary schools and 2nd overall, earning gold and silver medals for their outstanding efforts. Their sportsmanship and teamwork were a true reflection of our school values.  Congratulations to our chess champions!

On Friday, 12th September, our school came together in a vibrant sea of blue and yellow to mark R U OK? Day, a special occasion dedicated to recognising the importance of emotional and physical wellbeing within our community. The day was filled with joy and connection, featuring a bake sale, a fun run, and engaging class games including parachute activities and the exciting introduction of the Granny Pants Game, which quickly became a crowd favourite! Thanks to the incredible

Last week, our fearless Year 4's swapped their school desks for sleeping bags and headed off on a wild overnight adventure at the Adelaide Zoo for our Zoo Snooze Camp! With the zoo all to ourselves overnight, we explored the animal kingdom like true zoologists-in-training. During our night walk, we tiptoed past a snoozing tiger, watched the serval pacing like it had a secret mission, and got barked at by dingoes who clearly had strong opinions about us being there at bedtime.

What an amazing week Book Week was! As always, we ended the week on  real high with our Book Week Parade. A huge thanks to all families...
