19.01.2022 No Assembly Friday is back! Brought to you by our very own, School Leader of the Year, Mr Richards!

19.01.2022 Dear Namadgi Families, The Footy Colours and Bandanna Day component of the FAB Day will still go ahead this Friday, but due to the bad weather that is forecast the sports rotations will need to be cancelled. Due to complications with COVID, government oval bookings, persistent wet weather and other significant school events taking precedent in term 4 we will not be able to reschedule this component of the day. Thank you for your understanding and support with these changes. We look forward to seeing some colourful jerseys and bandannas on Friday!

An extra special thank you to Lachlan, Laura and Valerie for coordinating this. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated by many this Christmas!

17.01.2022 Congratulations to the Namadgi Athletes who made it through to the ACT Championships for Cross Country yesterday. We are so proud of Geu, Kado, Fiona, Scarlett & Shianne. Not only are they great athletes they are exceptional ambassadors of Namadgi School and our values.

16.01.2022 Good afternoon families, We wish to advise that due to unprecedented demand we have sold out of bandanas. We are hoping to receive some more stock and will let you know when it arrives.

16.01.2022 RUOK? Staff were after a special visit! They even brought snacks.

16.01.2022 Student Principal this week is William Ervin. Williams favourite subjects are History, Art, HPE and Wood Technology. When William achieves his year 10 certificate he plans to become a Builder or Carpenter. Will thinks that staff at Namadgi School really care about students being engaged in learning. He thinks more clarity around assignments including timelines, regular updates,clear expectations and regular reminders from teachers would support students to improve. Will thinks rubbish on the senior playground can be a problem and suggested cohorts could take charge of specific areas of the school and win PBL rewards for the best kept sections.

15.01.2022 Take a look at the Term 3, Week 7 Secondary Assembly.

Under Gareth’s positive, supportive leadership, students and staff have flourished and community spirit has blossomed. When facing a move to remote learning, Gareth led the teaching staff to deliver a seamless transition and high quality learning material. His weekly ‘No Assembly Fridays’ have brought joy and hope to the school community. Read more about Namadgi’s adventures in remote learning here: http://ow.ly/ed7450CrHYq Dr Roisin Boadle was named as the Secondary Teacher of the Year - a fitting title for an exceptional educator. Dr Boadle is deeply invested in her students, she’s been instrumental in the delivery of engaging Maths and Science programs in the school. In her role as a 9/10 Year Co-ordinator, she has supported many students to overcome the challenges of 2020 and improve their wellbeing.

We are encouraging all students to wear green and bring a gold coin donation in support of Steptember. This fundraising initiative raises money for those living with cerebral palsy, where participants aim to walk 10 000 steps each day.... As you may be aware, we have a student at our school with cerebral palsy and his family have registered a team for Steptember. We are holding a fundraiser so we can contribute to their fundraising efforts. His official page can be found here https://www.steptember.org.au/fundraisers/GeusTeam. Throughout the day, all students will complete laps of our Junior Playground to contribute to a step count. Each lap will be tallied, and we are excited to see how many laps we can achieve together. All proceeds raised will be donated directly to the Fundraising Page above. Thanks for your support Geu’s Team!

01.01.2022 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! There is still time to donate to this wonderful cause and support families in need this Christmas.
