Dear Parents and Carers,

Another fortnight has passed and the students have not failed to impress. I think you will be completely blown away when you see the projects they have been working on this term. We will hold an expo on Wednesday 19 June, from 10–11am at the Corban Arts Centre, showcasing all the hard work the students have put in. Details and invitations will arrive in your inboxes soon.

As our student numbers grow and students share more of their space together, our values around RESPECT are more important than ever. I shared the following anagram with the students this week, as I believe constant reminders are hugely important:

Responsible – Do your job
Empathy – Put yourself in someone else’s shoes
Serve – Help others
Polite – Use your manners
Express Gratitude – Always be thankful
Character – Be a leader for the good
Teamwork – Work together

An amazing feat of teamwork this week came from our students Ete, Imogen, and Cameron, who performed the cups song we had looked at together in assembly. I was so proud of the girls, who were incredibly confident in their performance and showed us even more of the talent we’ve come to know and love from our students.

Finally, I want to draw your attention to the amazing video blogs on our website, where some of our students talk about what NWC means to them:

Have a wonderful long weekend. We look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday 4 June.

Letter from the Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have come to the end of a busy Term 1 at North West College.

The personal growth we have seen in every student has been fantastic to witness. I have no doubt the skills and talents that the students possess will shine through just as much if not more in Term 2.

I wish you all a safe and restful break with your families and want to thank you all immensely for your show of support this term.

We look forward to welcoming you back to school on the 28th April at 8.45am.

Nga Mihi,
Mrs Randles
