💙 Father’s Day Breakfast 💙

What a wonderful morning we shared at our Father’s Day BBQ Breakfast! 🥓☕️

A heartfelt thank you to all the Dads, Step-Dads, and special father figures who joined us. It was lovely to see you enjoying a relaxed morning filled with good food, laughter and games.

We also loved seeing those who chose to share the morning with someone special whether that was a mum, sibling, or another important person in their life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so warm, relaxed and memorable.

💙 Wishing all the Dads and special father figures a very Happy Father’s Day, and thank you to everyone who shared the morning with us. 💙

A HUGE thank you to L.V. Dohnt & Company Pty Ltd for their kindness and support of our school!

Last week, Mark Dohnt generously gave up his time to bring their digger out to the school and help us dig up some trees and get them replanted in their new home.

We really appreciate not only Mark’s time and hard work, but also the effort involved in organising the digger and making it possible for us to get the job done. It made a big job so much easier for us!

We are very grateful for the support of local businesses like L.V. Dohnt & Company Pty Ltd and the willingness to lend a hand in our little school community.

Thank you, Mark and Dohnt's we really appreciate it!

📚✨ Book Week 2026 Symphony of Stories ✨📚

What a fantastic Book Week we’ve had at Nangwarry Primary School! Our students have enjoyed celebrating books, creativity, storytelling and the wonderful world of imagination.

On Tuesday, we held our annual Book Week Parade, and it was fantastic to see so many of our students getting involved and proudly sharing their favourite characters and stories. A huge congratulations to our three winners!

We were also very lucky to have Amanda and Ruby from Story Dogs join us at our parade. They shared a wonderful story with our students and helped make the morning even more special. A huge thank you to Amanda and Ruby for being part of our Book Week celebrations!

On Wednesday, we joined more than 300 schools from across Australia for an entertaining and inspiring online Book Week Author Session with the wonderful Andy Lee.

Andy read his much-loved book Do Not Open This Book and gave students a sneak peek into the scary things happening in his upcoming book, Do Not Open This Book, It’s Scary! Students met Whizz, heard about Andy’s early drawings of the character and were encouraged to embrace curiosity, think creatively and use their imaginations.

Andy also shared a beautiful message about giving, reminding students that gifts don’t need to be expensive it’s the thought and creativity behind them that matters. He finished the session with some very entertaining vocal exercises from his television show Do Not Watch This Show, which the students thoroughly enjoyed!

On Thursday, our students were incredibly lucky to learn from Australian author and illustrator Jason Pamment, an up-and-coming South Australian creative.

Students were introduced to Ember, the main character from Jason’s graphic novels, and explored how an illustrator brings a character to life. They learned about the creative process, from simple stick figures and pencil sketches through to digital techniques used to clean up drawings, add colour and build detail.

The students loved getting hands-on and trying some of Jason’s drawing techniques and even our educators got involved! There were plenty of creative ideas, enthusiastic artists and some very impressive artwork.

What a wonderful Book Week! Our students have been inspired to keep reading, keep creating, keep asking questions and, most importantly, keep using their imaginations. 💫

What an amazing day at Penola High School for the Feeder School Sports Carnival.

It was wonderful to see our Nangwarry Primary School, Upper Primary students and other students from across the feeder schools come together, building connections, encouraging one another and enjoying the spirit of competition. The organisation of the sports was outstanding, creating a fantastic atmosphere filled with energy, enthusiasm and plenty of smiles.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, they were unable to determine an overall team winner. However, selected students from each team were recognised who demonstrated outstanding enthusiasm and sportsmanship throughout the day. Their positive attitudes, encouragement of others and willingness to give every event their best were wonderful to see.

Aylah Virtanen was the Nangwarry selected student, and we could not be any prouder of her. Her smile was shining all day long, even when the sun was not!

A huge thank you to everyone involved at Penola High School in making the carnival such a successful and memorable day.
