Other Initiatives

School Council

A new innovation at Nelson Park School is the school council. This group of selected Year Six pupils are given leadership opportunities including choosing and presenting school assembly content, playground management and other tasks as designated by the principal. While this is a relatively new scheme the possibilities are boundless and the chance to lead will help our senior pupils in their transition to intermediate school.

Assemblies

The school has a whole school assembly every second Friday at 11:50am in the school hall. This is a "coming together" of the whole school body and is used to honour those pupils who have excelled over the past fortnight and to showcase the talents of individuals and groups within the school. Parents are most welcome to join us at these events.

Each syndicate also has a weekly "get-together" on a less formal basis to sing, perform to each other, acknowledge endeavour and to plan upcoming group activities.

Smarteez

Smarteez is an independent childcare service that provides before and after school supervision and care for children at the school for a minimal rate.

Library

Our bright, attractive three-level library is another feature of our school. Every class visits the library once a week and books may be issued to pupils and taken home at the discretion of the teacher. Parents/Caregivers should share books with their children. Parents are welcome to use our library with their children. As time goes by our library will be developing more varied information gathering services.
