GENERAL NEWS
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.
STUDENT LEARNING
Minimum Interruptions to Student Learning
Could we please ask that we have minimum interruptions to the students learning. This includes trying to avoid making medical appointments etc in school hours.
For afternoon arrangements in regards to your child getting home, we ask that you make these with your child before school. We have many students coming up during the day to find out their afternoon routine. This disrupts the flow of their learning as well as making the office an even busier place.
If you are collecting your child during the day, come to the office to sign your child out. There is no need for a phone call to the school.
We thank you for your understanding in these matters, and look forward to a fabulous year with your children.

CHANGE OF DETAILS
We ask all parents to please use the Compass portal or contact the school office to advise us of an any changes to phone numbers, addresses or student medical details.
MANNERS MATTER ON THE ROAD
A gentle reminder that when picking up or dropping off your child/ren please be courteous and considerate to our neighbours (including upper Hill and Roderick Streets). Do not park over driveways. Be aware, that they need to access entry to their home just as you do. Please also adhere to traffic signs especially with bus zones and no stopping areas.
SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS
All parents need to be aware, our supervision of students
does not begin until 8.15am each day.
If your child/ren require supervision and care before 8.15am please contact Esteem Kids for before school care. Currently, students are expected to come in and sit in the Holy Family Courtyard unsupervised and wait. We cannot be responsible for any accident or potentially harmful incidents occurring. Please organise alternative care for your child if your child requires supervision before 8.15am.
