OPEN CLASSROOMS

This year we are delighted to continue to welcome our parents into our classrooms for the Open Classrooms. This term they will be held on the following days from 8:15 - 8:45am. 

• Infants - Kinder to Yr2: Friday 28th February

• Primary- Yr3 - Yr6: Friday 7th March

To ensure a successful session, please:

• Respect the timings. Staff and students will be required at the 8.45am morning assembly.
• Respect these sessions are not Parent-Teacher meetings. Teachers will be in the learning spaces to support participation, though will not be expected to answer questions on your child’s academic achievement, growth or wellbeing.
• Remember every day at St Nicholas is an opportunity for a Parent-Teacher Meeting. If you would like to meet with your child's teacher, please reach out to them and arrange a mutually convenient time.
• Respect the privacy and dignity of all students. Enjoy the opportunity to look at your child's learning, though refrain from comparing it to peers.
• Respect the learning spaces. Please understand the learning spaces are fluid and places of work. Our students and staff take great pride in their learning spaces, though also understand learning is not always pretty. Quality learning can be messy.
• Respect all staff by only visiting the open spaces of your Infants aged child.

SCHOOL UNIFORM - We wear it with pride!

At St Nicholas School we have high expectations with wearing our uniform with pride. We therefore seek parent and student support with wearing our uniform correctly each day. Each week for every student our sports uniform is to be worn Monday, Wednesday and Friday and our formal uniform is to be worn on Tuesday and Thursday.

We understand that at times students may need to wear an alternate piece of attire because of an unforeseen circumstance. If this is the case please email your child's class teacher to let them know.

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. We look forward to sharing these names in coming weeks. 

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.
