"The most helpful thing I got all year" — Year 7 Student
While students use them to navigate daily life at NSBHS, teachers also refer to them when reinforcing expectations around things like uniform and school conduct. They’ve become a shared reference point, streamlining communication and creating consistency across the school community.
I’m proud of the team’s high efforts throughout the year to provide students with a resource that’s not only practical, but genuinely supportive — something made by students, for students to ease transitions, answer unasked questions, and build confidence from day one.
