North Fremantle Primary School is a small school with a strong sense of identity and direction that is shared by students, teachers, our families and the local community. Together we strive for: Excellence Inclusiveness
I am extremely proud to be writing the 2012 Annual Report for North Fremantle Primary School. Our school has been on a journey of improvement and promotion over the past three years and I believe we have gained community support and confidence in this time. This being said, we did not take time to rest on our laurels during 2012 but continued to look for ways to improve and to make our school a great school and being at school a great experience for all of our students. This has lead to a number of great achievements during the 2012 year including:
The completion of a major building project, funded through the Department of Educations Capital works program. This $1.67 million makeover has modernised our school facilities creating a professional environment for our staff, students, parents and visitors. A strong sense of Our academic results continuing to improve with outstanding progress community being made in many learning areas. An emphasis on individualised approaches to student learning ensuring that children with special learning needs or talents are catered for by receiving the additional support and extension they require. Our specialist art program receiving recognition through our achievement of (equal) best school in the Fremantle Arts Festival street parade. Our P&C publication, a cook book A Little Book of Sweet Things produced in partnership with local business The Black Truffle receiving public recognition in the West Australian being described as one of the cutest little cook books youve seen. The cook book was a sell out, raising significant funds for the P&C and prompting requests from various libraries for copies.
A broad and balanced education
There were many more successful events, learning experiences and achievements at our school during 2012 and these are highlighted in this report. This report is an overview of our performance during the past year and should be read alongside our fortnightly newsletters, our community newsletters and our website to gain an overall perspective.

The Principles of Assessment state that assessment should be an integral part of teaching and learning; educative; fair; designed to meet a specific purpose; lead to informative reporting; and lead to school-wide evaluation processes. 3. The Phases of Schooling provide teachers with guidance about the sorts of curriculum experiences likely to support students at each phase, so that the learning outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum is achieved and the aims of the Melbourne Declaration are met.
While every student will be immersed in a well balanced curriculum there are different priorities for different phases of schooling. The relative emphasis varies across the phases of schooling and in the primary years is as follows:
Literacy and numeracy, integrated across the curriculum are priority areas in the early years (K-2, and into years 3 and 4) The emphasis moves to encompass all eight learning areas in the upper primary years (typically years 5 -6) and the first years of lower secondary schooling (typically years 7 8). Curriculum and program development recognises that each student is developing and achieving in different ways, at different stages and at different rates. (The above is a brief outline of information available from the School Curriculum and Standards Authority. For more details visit www.scsa.wa.edu.au).
As a councilor since 2009, I have witnessed many major positive changes that have taken place in our school. It has been a great privilege to be Chair of the School Council and I welcome fellow councilor Neil Sivwright to this position in 2013. Congratulations to Fiona Kelly and her capable team for the many achievements of North Fremantle Primary in 2012. With excellent teachers and staff, innovative leadership and a wonderful community we are well-placed for an exciting future for all our students.
The NFPS P & C is the nerve centre of the school community and works alongside the parents, school council and teaching staff. It is responsible for a rich calendar of events that provide two key benefits: To raise important funds for student activities and resources To enhance a sense of community and belonging at the school for both the students, parents and extended families.

After a very busy 2011 with our 125 celebrations, we continued with some new and exciting projects as well as our regular family and student events. We were very proud to complete a cookbook which was exclusively designed and made with the help of our many talented parents and staff. It was called The Little Book of Sweet Things which we sold for $15 per copy. The 300 copies produced were sold in a very short time and will become collectors items. We continued with our successful cake bake competition and afternoon tea which is an event we open to the community. In conjunction with this we launched the cookbook and sold merchandise including, aprons, bags and cookbook holders which were made by the students. We also sold an array of pottery which the students had designed and made throughout the year. This was a very successful event for the school and we hope to continue this tradition. We also held our first Adidas Kids Fun Run and got the kids involved in both daily running around the oval as well as doing their own fundraising. The students raised approx. $3500 which went directly to purchasing a number of laptops and iPads for the classrooms. We hope to continue this event and the IT funding in 2013. The Primary School were also invited to be involved with the local Amateur Football club for their first Community Day. They allowed us to have a coffee and cake stall and raffle as well as give the students a chance to play in a fun little league game prior to the A League Game. Our regular events included the Welcome Morning Tea for new families, Welcome BBQ picnic, Easter Sundowner, School Disco, Fathers Day Breakfast, End of Year BBQ and Concert, our unique tuckshops, Tea and Coffee stall at school sports carnival and busy bee. The NFPS P & C had $12,000 in the bank at the end of 2012 which is a great achievement as we were also able to supply funding to numeracy and literacy, IT, busy bee, Kindy equipment, school camp, leavers jackets, and new display boards for the students artwork. We continue to build on and maintain our strong community ties and look forward to sharing our sense of family and community with our new families. The committee look forward to a successful 2013 with an array of exciting events and activities planned.
School Council
from the Chair
The School Council consisted of ten members in 2012, including parent, staff and community representatives who contributed to many areas of school life with their significant range of expertise and skills. The Council is guided by its own strategic plan which is aligned to the current priorities of the school. In 2012, these activities included: Providing advice and practical assistance in overseeing the administration building upgrade, improving school grounds and planning for a new nature play area. Producing and distributing two community newsletters to all households and businesses in North Fremantle, building positive relationships with the local community. Supporting North Fremantle Primary efforts to become an Independent Public School in 2012. The School Council works closely with the P&C, staff and school families to provide the best possible education for students and to encourage a strong and inclusive school community.

P & C: Our P&C is a power house of talent and this years fundraising endeavour, the design, production and publication of a NFPS cook book, was another example of the success of this wonderful team. Culminating in a Cake Bake competition, this fundraiser enabled the purchase of new laptops; iPads; reading & mathematics resources and climbing equipment for our early childhood play area. Quality learning programs across all year groups enable children to making good progress at their individual level. Children are encouraged to achieve their best and reach their individual potential. Rotary Club of Mosman Park are keen supporters of their local schools, providing the funding for 30 microscopes to enhance our science program and an award for citizenship at our end of year awards ceremony. Sport: There are plenty of opportunities for kids to be active and show their skills with a skipathon; lunch time basketball competition; athletics and swimming carnivals; a cricket carnival; dancing lessons, squash, interschool football and netball carnivals; the adidas fun run; before school surfing and tennis; and active after school sport twice each week.
