TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY
Last Friday our dedicated, committed, St Nicholas teachers were celebrated on World Teachers Day for their outstanding professionalism and care. Teaching is incredibly complex and demanding, and is far from a 9- 3 job. What many don't see is our teachers working late into the night, on weekends and during schools holidays. All whilst juggling their own families, additional study and personal lives. But as you know, our teachers show up every day with a smile simply because they love their work and are truly committed to your children's wellbeing, development and education. Our teachers were acknowledged by our students with a special poem at morning assembly, and were later treated to a special surprise.....our very own ice-cream bar! Thank you St Nics teachers for all you do each and every day.
SCHOOL FEES
As we approach the end of the 2025 school year, we kindly remind all families that school fees must be paid in full by the 21 November 2025 as outlined in your Statement of School Fees.
Timely payment of fees ensures that the school can continue to provide high-quality resources, programs, and support for all students. If you have already settled your account, we sincerely thank you.
For those with outstanding balances, we ask that payment be made by the 21 November 2025.
If you are experiencing any difficulties or need to discuss a payment plan, please contact Mr Peter Flynn directly by emailing pflynn@arm.catholic.edu.au.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
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: Annabelle Gardiner, Jack Woolaston, Morrigan Gillett, Billy O'Connor, Joanne Justin, Mia Flynn, Kingston Davies, Harry Bevan, Miller Balderston, Maika Geddes, Marni Macdonald, Arthur Bates, Patrick Daley, Charlie Kunovic, Emilia Bunnemeyer, Mia Langford, Lucy Shaw, William Gardiner, Hallie Campbell, Priya Hitchcock, Sophie Dowsett and Hayley Lye.
