Kids First @ NPPS
When you think back to your own schooling, your memories are of one teacher in one classroom for the whole year with the same group of kids.
You either got along with that teacher or you didn’t which determined if your year was a long one or an enjoyable one.

The teachers that you recall were ones that you had a great relationship with and that made learning fun.

Specialist Classes
Specialist Classes
Once a week, students spend time in specialist classes, which include:
Physical Education
P.E lessons are delivered through timetabled classes where students participate in a variety of activities.
Our Prep-2 students refine their fine motor skills with age-appropriate lessons that are fun and engaging. Students learn about mainstream and modified sports, engage in activities organised by local sports groups, and participate in school sporting events, such as cross-country and athletics training.
Science
Our science room is one to behold! An ever-evolving space, which features Axie the Axolotl and our two bearded dragons, Goliath and Houdini. It's a place to fly through outer space, marvel at our natural world, partake in experiments, explore Earth's amazing creatures, living and past, and much more.
Students focus on fostering scientific literacy and inquiry skills through hands-on activities.
Visual Arts
Visual Arts at NPPS is unique and fosters children's love for creativity!
Our passionate teaching staff inspire our students to develop conceptual and perceptual ideas through design and inquiry,
visual art techniques using a variety of different materials and developing a knowledge of diverse artists and cultures.

Performing Arts
In performing arts, students experience the joy of dance, drama, music and visual arts.
Students use voice and movement (rhythm and expression), use musical instruments, explore musical styles
and have the opportunity to be involved in school plays and performances when programmed.
Auslan
Australian Sign Language is a specialist class taught at NPPS to develop students' communication skills and understanding of language and culture.
Students learn Auslan as a signed language, using hands and body movements, without using their voice.
Lessons involve fun games and activities, learning to use expressive signing, teacher-led demonstrations, songs and group practice.
Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for the very amazing Auslan videos!
