Stories and highlights
There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.
A year at our school
Book Week
A heartfelt thank you to our students, families, teachers, and the wider NNPS community for making our 2026 Book Week Parade such a memorable event. This joyful celebration of literature encouraged everyone to participate wholeheartedly and showcase their creativity.
It was fantastic to see students eagerly bringing their favourite book characters to life through creative costumes.
Years 3-6 Dance Concert
Our Years 3-6 students took to the stage for the spectacular annual dance concert, ‘Movie Madness’. It was a dazzling celebration inspired by students' most beloved movies. Each class performed a dance set to iconic movie music. From trolls and minions to superheroes and racing cars, our talented dancers impressed the audience with their creativity, enthusiasm, and dedication after weeks of rehearsals. The concert was a fantastic community event filled with fun, excitement, and applause for every performer. A truly memorable night for all involved!
Art Competition - Warriewood Square Wetlands
We are excited to reveal a very special artwork collaboratively created by over 60 students in Years 3-6. The purpose of this artwork is to enter a competition at Warriewood Square that promotes the beautiful Warriewood Wetlands. The artwork is an agamograph- a kinetic artwork that shows different images depending on the angle from which you view it. Enjoy the video of the artwork in the making.
100 Days of School
Our kindy classes celebrated 100 days of school this term and celebrated the milestone with a special day filled with fun activities, including dressing up as a 100 year old!
Canberra Camp
Toward the end of Term 2, Year 5 and Year 6 had unforgettable camps in Canberra, exploring key sites like the old and new Parliament House—where they experienced a mock bill passing—and visiting the Australian War Memorial, National Arboretum, Royal Australian Mint, National Capital Exhibition, Questacon, and the Australian Institute of Sport. Throughout the busy trip, the students consistently demonstrated exemplary behaviour that made the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Schoolhouse Museum Excursion
Throughout terms one and two, students have been learning about what family life looked like in the past and explored what has changed or remained the same over time. Some of the key themes that they have examined include family roles, toys, food and special events. The best learning often involves hands-on experiences and the Schoolhouse Museum offers students a taste of what schooling was like during the 1880s and 1910s.
Gibberagong Environmental Education
Our Year 3 students had an amazing day exploring Aboriginal histories and cultures through hands-on experiences provided by the Gibberagong Environmental Education Team. They engaged in traditional games, learned the art of fire making, and discovered various bush resources used by Aboriginal communities.
This immersive experience helped deepen their respect and understanding of indigenous heritage, a fantastic way to connect with culture and country!
Zoo Excursion
Stage 2 embarked on an exciting excursion to Taronga Zoo, where they explored diverse habitats and learned about animal conservation. This hands-on experience supported classroom learning and encouraged curiosity about wildlife and environmental responsibility
"We chose NNPS because of its amazing and dedicated team who create a warm, supportive, and inspiring environment every day. The beautiful school grounds, caring leadership, and vibrant programs make our children excited and happy to learn and grow here.”— a parent of Narrabeen North Public School
History of our Binishells
Did you know our Binishells are over 50 years old? They were first built in Australia in 1974 and are the only examples of their specific design and configuration in the world. NSW’s collection of the 15 Binishells across 14 schools was the largest of its kind in the world.
Designed by Italian architect, Dante Bini who developed an innovative construction method that used compressed air to inflate a concrete dome from ground level. Here at Narrabeen, Bini incorporated a symbolic feature called the "Pearl of Knowledge" near the original library entrance, representing learning and discovery for students.
The domes are regarded as important examples of 1960s–70s architectural optimism, reflecting the era of the Space Race, Star Trek, and futuristic design. Many NSW Binishells are heritage-listed and our domes are currently undergoing a significant restoration.
