Newtown Public School Phase 1 return a huge success

Newtown students arrive to school for Phase 1

Students eager to return to school

Monday saw students of Newtown Public School return as part of the Phase 1 managed return to school. Teachers and staff were thrilled to see students return for school, at school, even if it’s just for one day a week.

Principal, Abbey Proud has been looking forward to seeing her “people” return. School is not as fun without the students, you really miss the buzz of activity that illuminates the week. And we are sure that the students are actually enjoying their one day a week at school.

The Phase 1 roster is based on students returning with their siblings on their allocated ‘House Day’. There are still important procedures we all need to follow given the COVID-19 restrictions, which are all detailed in the NPS Phase 1 Flyer.

The P&C have welcomed students back with awesome new gate arches that also support the school community in understanding the new protocols for entering the school. Thanks to Ann Woo, Frankie and Daniel’s mum and Chris Smith, Beatrice’s dad for designing, painting and building two new arches: one at the top gate for Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 and the other at the basketball court entrance for Stage 2 and 3.
