Welcome to the Manly Community! 

At NBSC Manly Campus, we're proud to have a vibrant, collaborative community where school staff, students, and parents work closely together through our P&C.

​

High school brings new experiences for both students and parents. As your child begins to take more responsibility and self-manage, you might notice a shift from the day-to-day interactions you were used to in primary school.

​

But don’t worry! We know how important it is for you to stay connected, get to know other parents, and stay involved in your child’s education. That’s why the P&C has put together a handy To-Do list just for new parents like you.​​

​

We hope this helps you settle in at Manly. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us here.
