GENERAL NEWS

MOBILE PHONES

This term, there have not been many students handing in their phones to the front office compared to last term. Please remind your child that if they are bringing a mobile phone to school, they must hand it into the office at the beginning of the day. They are stored securely and students can collect them when dismissed from class. Thank you for your support with this. Please note that if your child is wearing a smart watch to school, the 'school mode' must be activated during school hours. 

PARENT READING NIGHT

ATTENTION KINDERGARTEN PARENTS (and any Year 1 and Year 2 Parents who have not yet attended a Parent Reading Night)

We invite you to attend our St Nicholas Parent Reading Night on Wednesday 28th May at 6pm in The Hub centre space. This is a valuable, practical evening where you will discover exactly how we teach and support your child to become a balanced reader. In the mini-workshops we will also focus on the many ways you can assist your child with their reading development at home. We will have a creche available for those who are unable to source any other alternative arrangements for their children. 

VERITAS

Our Veritas Awards stem from our school motto - ‘Veritas’ - meaning truth. The Veritas Award is awarded to students who have been consistently displaying citizenship, leadership and/or Christian Living. Students receiving a Veritas Award are those students who have displayed our ‘Rules for Living’ in their everyday interactions. We announce our Veritas award recipients at Friday morning assemblies every fortnight. Congratulations to: Franklin Davies, Cameron Michell, Harrison Preston, Emica Liben, Anna Tran, Addyson Pollock, Ella Gaffney, Adaline Duncan, Isabella Morgan, Harlan Strudwick, Ayla Fox, Mila Daly, Zali Bass, Flynn Coutts, Mia Reed, Lexi Jenkins, Sophie Vile and Molly Jones.

SCHOOL UNIFORM - SUMMER TO WINTER

It is expected that all students will be wearing the full winter uniform by Monday 12th May. Lowes stock all the St Nicholas uniforms, or we have a selection available in our clothing pool. Please ensure that your child is wearing a tie, as it is a compulsory part of the winter uniform. 

SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS

All parents need to be aware, our supervision of students

does not begin until 8.15am each day.

St Nicholas School gates will not be open until the arrival of the first school bus at approximately 8.10am. It is not appropriate for children to be at school before this time with no supervision. 

If your child/ren require care before 8.15am you may like to consider before school care here at school with Esteem.
