22.01.2022 Thankyou to all who came along to our Teddy Bear’s Picnic today. The weather wasn’t exactly on our side today, but we still managed an undercover picnic and bear hunt. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your gorgeous children.

18.01.2022 We all had an amazing week at the annual District High School country week competition. We are very proud of all our athletes, their sporting effort, sportsmanship shown and their dedication to their chosen sports. Great work everyone. Thank you for you time, effort and support - super teachers and coaches - Mr Kim Rodgers, Mrs Tracy Cameron and Mrs Marelle Rann. (Also a very huge thank you to our Basketball Volunteer assistant coach Mr Dave Rock) This camp would not be possible and wouldn’t have ran so smoothly without the amazing time, effort, commitment and enthusiasm put in by our astonishing brilliant Mr Simon Mitchell.

04.01.2022 Did you know? Northampton DHS has become a deposit site for the "Containers 4 Change" program and have set up 2 collection points on the school site to collect ...donations from the community. There is a collection cage at the south entrance to the school, adjacent to the Rams Oval car park and a collection wool bale at the roller doors for students as they exit the buses. All 8 different types of containers are accepted. They will be sorted by our farm students and taken to the Northampton Men’s Shed refund site, which is located at the Northampton Railway Precinct. It is proposed the Northampton refund point will be open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Until that happens the school will store all the containers. Any useable glass containers can be dropped off to the school during school hours, but for safety reasons we request that they are not sent to school on the buses with students. Thanks to the kind support of the Horrocks Community Centre and the local community, we have raised already raised $266.18, which will be spent on the students of Northampton DHS. See more

26.12.2021 This is a really interesting post, but a hugely important one, written by a child psychologist. We are so busy, all the time. While we are often with our kids, carting them around to their activities or doing all the things needed to keep a family going, how often could you say that you spend quality, one on one time with your child, doing something of their choice? Where you are fully present and engaged with them? As a busy working mum, I can honestly say I don't do this nearly enough, yet I reap the benefits in the relationship capital I create when I do spend individual time with my girls. This is as important for your teens as it is for your little ones.

11.12.2021 Put away your uniforms early! Free dress last day of school, next Thursday!
