NJS Fest 2025!

Suspense is building! Not long to go!

We are very excited for the 2025 NJS Fest being held on Wednesday 16th July!

A few details:

*Bucket hats that were ordered and paid for will be given out on Tuesday 15th July.

*Children can attend NJSFest in their own ‘festival style’ clothing!

*NJSFest takes place within the school day so usual drop off and pick up procedures apply.

*Children can bring a packed lunch or the kitchen are doing a special festival menu: hotdogs and chips!

On ParentPay you have the option to give consent for:

*Your child to have their face painted.

*Your child to have an ice pop.

Consent closes on the 15th July: please go onto ParentPay before then to give consent to avoid your child missing out.

Parental Controls for Nintendo Switch
- There is a free app available to monitor playtime, restrict games by age rating, and manage GameChat access. Children under 15 need parental approval to use GameChat. See link to set up parental controls.
