TRYathlon Weekend, Healthy Eating Reminders, and a New Student Teacher

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It has been a pleasure to observe the steady momentum building across both our Universal Drive and Lincoln Road sites this term. Our students are working exceptionally hard to meet the high expectations that our teachers set for them.

To maintain the high level of cognitive endurance required for learning, students must fuel their bodies correctly. We advocate for healthy lunches and snacks that provide sustained energy throughout the day.

We understand some students visit local shops before the school day begins. Please be reminded that any unhealthy sweets, fizzy drinks, or snacks purchased should be kept in bags and consumed after school. We want to ensure that every student’s concentration remains sharp and stable while they are on campus.

This Sunday we have a fantastic group of NWC students taking part in the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon.

We wish all our participants the very best of luck. We are behind you all the way and look forward to sharing the outcomes and photos in our next newsletter!

Finally, we are excited to announce that next week we will be joined by a student teacher from the United States. Mary Cate Baer, a student from Indiana University, will be completing a placement with us.

Mary Cate will be based at Universal Drive, supporting our visual art classes for the remainder of this term. Next Term she will move to Lincoln Road to support our Global Perspectives program.

In addition to her curriculum support, Mary Cate will be leading some of our Creative Arts sessions in the afternoons. Please join us in giving her a warm North West College welcome.

Warm regards,

Mrs M Randles | Principal, North West College
