NORMAN CELEBRATES TURNING ONE!!

Norman continues to bring smiles, joy, comfort and a lovely sense of calm to so many each time he spends time at St Nicholas (which is currently two days a week). He would like to extend a huge thank you to all who took the time to make his first birthday so special. Hand made cards, a St Nicholas doggo-jacket, a special song and even a birthday cake complete with mashed potato icing really made his day special.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLMENTS FOR 2025

Applications have now closed for Kindergarten 2025. All applications now received will be immediately placed on our waiting list.

SCHOOL UNIFORM - SUMMER TO WINTER

All students are now required to be wearing the full winter uniform. Full winter uniform includes our school tie. Lowes stock all the St Nicholas uniforms, or we have a selection available in our clothing pool.

PARENT READING NIGHT....SAVE THE DATE

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 29th May at 6pm. 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.

Please pencil this in your diary now.

We will be hosting a creche for those families that need to bring 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. This term our focus is on ‘Valuing, respecting and caring for others’.

Congratulations to the following children who received Veritas awards last week:

Ava Harwood, Yug Bhattarai, Levi Charlesworth, Liv Coutts, Isabella Morgan, Layla Bevan, Cali Walker, Quade Henn, Taylor Langford, Mia Langford, Noah Hobden, Sophia Elkhouri, Alexander Kidd, Mia Simpson, Aggie Daly and Ruby McHugh.
