School Highlights
Year 6 Prescott College Visits
The Year 6s have started their adventures to Prescott College to experience a day in the life of a high school student. We will be visiting Prescott College over 9 weeks, experiencing the subjects Science, Home Economics and Design Tech. Our first visit was a lot of fun and the students really enjoyed their experience.

Harmony Week
PPN have been celebrating Harmony Week in style this week! We started the week with Darius’ Poppy, Mr Allen, playing his Yidaki in Assembly for us. We enjoyed a whole school picnic lunch on the back oval on Monday to celebrate our unity in harmony. The focus today has been taking a stand against bullying with Bullying. No Way! day activities. On Friday, we get to dress up in our cultural heritage or wear orange with our PE uniform. Let’s celebrate harmony through Cultural Diversity. It is our diversity that gives us strength and our harmony that gives us unity!
Port Adelaide Enfield Council Mayor Visits Yr 6 Classes
On Tuesday, the Mayor of the Port Adelaide Enfield Council, The Honourable Claire Boan, visited the Year 6 classes to talk to them about being involved in local government. She shared her journey from being a Primary School teacher who wanted to do more for the community that her students were a part of to being the leader of one of Adelaide's largest councils. It was a valuable experience that encouraged us all that we can always make a difference.
Planting A Seed Of Hope
To plant a seed is to plant hope for the future. A hope for growth, vigour and the harvesting of good food that will nourish you and your family. Throughout Term 1, we have been planting vegetables in our garden at Prescott Primary Northern. Learning these vital life skills will help students as they grow to become more independent. It also gives them knowledge for the future and reduces stress and anxiety in a changing world.
“For kids, connecting with nature and learning to grow their own food is sowing a seed for their future health, wellbeing and happiness, and the future health of the planet.” (Nature Play SA, Family, nature and Covid-19, Pg 46) Why not have a go at growing some vegetables in your patch this week?
