Our Year 4 students enjoyed a memorable overnight experience at AFL Max, taking part in a wide range of activities designed to build independence, resilience and integrity. Throughout the program, students explored the importance of healthy eating, worked together in team‑building challenges and developed confidence as they tried new skills. They practised their ball skills, kicked the football, tackled the inflatable course and supported one another through each activity. Th

Last week, our school came together for our Week of Worship. It was a meaningful time to pause and reflect on the story of Jesus. Each day offered opportunities for prayer, connection, and shared worship.A heartfelt thank you to our guest speaker Pr Marty, our chaplains, and student chaplains who helped lead and inspire each day. Your contributions made the week truly special! We were also delighted to finish the week by welcoming families to our Connect 4 evening on Friday

Last term, our Foundation students enjoyed a wonderful visit from Animals Anonymous as part of a special incursion at school. Students learned about a variety of animals, including their features, habitats, diets and how to care for them responsibly. They also discovered the importance of respecting wildlife and protecting natural environments. Some of the animals they met included snakes, goannas, quokkas and even a cute little sugar glider! The highlight for many was gettin

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).

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.
