PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
Please note that our bookings for Parent Teacher Interviews are now closed on Compass. We will be holding these interviews during Weeks 9 and 10. These will replace what was previously our Student-Led Conferences. If you have not yet booked your conference, you will need to email your child's teacher to arrange a time.
TOYS
We have recently noticed an increase in students bringing in toys to play with on the playground. This sometimes leads to conflict amongst peers, as well as children becoming upset when these toys get lost or damaged. We ask for parents' support in ensuring students do not bring anything other than a handball to play with.
WINTER UNIFORM
All students are now expected to be in their full winter uniform. Please note that this includes a tie.
VERITAS AWARDS
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 Georgie Cunningham, Audrey Daley, Alfie Gillett, Phoebe Martin, Lucy Johnson, Ivy Draper, Emmett Hall, Oakley Gibson, Hannah Mitchell, Levi Russell, Esther Thomas, Lily Snape, Kaitlyn Miller, Levi Charlesworth, Alyssa Malla, Hanna Shaiju, Ayla Fox, Lily Gibson and Emmett Buckman.

SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS
Supervision of students does not begin until 8.15 am each day.
St Nicholas School gates will not be open until the arrival of the first school bus at 8.15 am. It is not appropriate for children to be at school before this time with no supervision.
If your child/children require care before 8.15 am, we recommend contacting Esteem Kids Before and After School Care, which operates on the grounds of St Nicholas School.
