Students wearing incorrect uniform must bring a note from home and will be issued with a uniform pass. If, for any reason a student needs permission for non-uniform items for an extended period of time, special consideration must be applied for in writing from the Deputy.

IT Agreements and acceptable use of computers at PPN
We are incredibly lucky to have the IT infrastructure we have at PPN. Lately, some students have been using the school computers and have been conducting searches that aren’t very educational. A process that has come from the IT agreement, signed by all parents and students, states that computers must be used for educational purposes only, unless teacher permission has been given. Students who are found still looking up unrelated subjects and pictures in school time will have to explain to Miss Bernoth and Mr Davis and will possibly receive an infringement or detention, depending on the nature of the search. Please remind your children that what they look up is extremely important for their safety. It’s our goal to keep all eyes and ears safe and this is one way that we are trying to do so.
Thank you for your help with this.
School zone speed limits
If you are not aware, the speed limit around the school at school times, is 25km/h. We encourage you to slow to this speed limit in school times for the safety of the kids. Student safety is paramount and every step we can take to ensure our students’ safety, is a step in the right direction!
