Our Latest News
Today, students from Newbery Park collaborated with peers from Tea Tree Gully and Trinity Gardens as part of the Chief Executive Student Voice Forums.
Together, we continued to strengthen our network and deepen our understanding of Learning and Performance modes. Students shared classroom examples of how these modes are applied in practice and engaged in meaningful discussions around the concept of planning for mistake-making; recognising that mistakes are an inevitable part of learning and that thoughtful preparation can lead to more constructive responses when they occur.
Weโre looking forward to reconnecting with student voice representatives from across the state in Term 4!
On Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming the delightful Dr Ruth Schubert as our guest cook for the whole-school lunch. Students were treated to a delicious chicken casserole with garlic bread; a perfect winter warmer!
Dr Ruth, our Education Director for the past seven years, is currently on long service leave to focus on her painting. Not only is she an incredibly talented artist, but sheโs also a truly wonderful human being. Weโre so grateful she took the time to come in and cook with, and for, our beautiful students. โค๏ธ
A big thank you as well to Darcy, our future chef, who was an amazing student helper! โค๏ธ

Being part of the Playberry Tier 1, 2, and 3 Intervention programs. Itโs been incredibly rewarding to watch students grow in confidence and capability each day, and to see their eagerness to strive for excellence.
Iโm also proud of our new kitchen and the opportunities itโs created. Working alongside Kathy Lang to teach students life skills through cooking has been a real highlight. Seeing the whole school come together each Friday to share a cooked lunch has been truly special.

Leanne Scuddsโwhat sheโs achieved in her short time as Principal is truly inspiring.
And the studentsโtheyโve taught me so much. Even in challenging moments, their strength and resilience have been incredibly humbling.

That I was always loving and caring to every child, and that I tried to make a difference every single day.
Well done Linda. You will get sooo many rewards out of being an SSO. The biggest one is knowing you have made a difference to many of the kids. Enjoy it as I did for 24 years at MNPS
It’s been wonderful to see you grow into your role, Linda. You form warm, supportive relationships with students and I love how excited you become when they achieve a goal!! So proud of you โค๏ธ
Lucky children
On Wednesday after school, we were joined by parents, grandparents and Miss Scudds with our young people to learn how to cook savoury scones and a delicious vegetable soup!
Thank you to everyone who came along! We hope you enjoyed the class as much as Mrs Lang enjoyed teaching it!
We look forward to our next family cooking class in week 6 where we will be making a yummy sweet treat! โค๏ธ
