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. This term our focus is on ‘Valuing, respecting and caring for others’. 

 

Congratulations to the following children who received Veritas awards this week: Xander Henry, Harry Tyndall, Lottie French, Mia Flynn, Tommy Cunningham, Charles Glass, Tommy Crockett, Ava Summers, Marlee Prussing, Isla Grimley, Emilia Bunnemeyer, Quinn Fuller, Flynn Coutts, Poppy Moore, Artie Walker and Indy Single. 

 

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.  

 

MEDICAL PLANS 

With the cooler weather and many respiratory viruses circulating it is a good time to check your child's Asthma and Allergy plans and make they are up to date. Please be aware that all plans need to be renewed annually.  Updated plans can be emailed to sntadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au . Please also ensure you provide the school with the relevant medication/ventolin that is in date. (All medication is required to be kept at the front office).
