PRINCIPAL'S REPORT - Nightcliff Middle School

SRC
The SRC had a very successful term. They began the term with Daffodil Day in week 5 and were selling
merchandise at lunch times throughout the week. The SRC also made a visit to Nightcliff Primary
School.
Their hard work and dedication resulted in a grand total of almost $400 being raised in donations and
merchandise sales. Just when one event finished another begins. Last Friday was Footy Colours day.
This allowed students to wear the colours of their favourite football team. In addition, students and staff
had the chance to participate in a variety of fun activities during recess and lunch. Students and staff
enjoyed themselves, especially those students that walked away with awesome prizes such as N.T.
Thunder tickets, AFL balls and Football posters.
Finally, students also participated in an SRC sleep over with the SRC from Nightcliff Primary. The
students shared stories from past events and fundraisers and discussed ideas for future events. It was an
extremely enjoyable and successful evening.
Year 7 Arts Class - Drumline
The Yr 7 Arts/Music Class did its first public performance at School Assembly. With the assistance of
Mr Greg Jansen from the NT Music School, Mr Nicholson‟s Year 7 class performed “Here‟s the Snare”,
an original composition of Mr Jansen‟s written for 15 snare drums in the American Marching Band
tradition.
The school community is looking forward to upcoming assembly performances by other Nightcliff
Middle School ensembles.
