💧 Project Compassion – The Big Water Walk 💧 Students at St Nicholas of Myra recently took part in The Big Water Walk, stepping into the shoes of those around the world who walk long distances every day to access clean water. Carrying buckets of water around a course, our students experienced just a small glimpse of the challenges faced by communities in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Through this powerful activity, they built empathy, awareness and a deeper understanding of the importance of water as a basic human right. We are so proud of our students for showing compassion, resilience and a commitment to making a difference. 🌏💙

✝️ Holy Week Reflection ✝️ During this sacred time in the Church year, our Year 6 students will lead our school community in a reverent Holy Week reenactment. Through prayerful reading, acting, and song, they will bring to life the events of Holy Week, helping us all to enter more deeply into the story of Jesus’ love, sacrifice, and hope. This special experience is not just a performance, but an opportunity for our whole school to pause, reflect, and pray together. As we gather, we are invited to walk alongside Jesus in His journey, to listen to His message, and to open our hearts to the meaning of this season in our own lives. We warmly invite all parents, carers, and family members to join us for this special time of prayer and reflection.
