2018 Christmas Celebration Concert
On December 6, the feast day of St Nicholas of Myra, over 700 people from our school community gathered for the 2018 Christmas Celebration Concert. This wonderful event included a free barbecue, our annual Christmas raffle and our talented students acting out and singing the Christmas story. The students are to be commended on their amazing costumes, reverent acting and beautiful singing. We even had a surprise visit from the North Pole with Santa and Mrs Claus stopping by to share gifts with the children.
A big thank you to the teachers and parents who assisted before, during after the celebration. An extra thank you to Mike and Outback Steakhouse Penrith for their donation and cooking the barbecue and to Miss Reece for her hours of preparation and rehearsal of the students to make this event one to remember. A wonderful event for a wonderful community.

✝️ Holy Week Liturgy ✝️ As Catholics, Holy Week is the most sacred time of our year. A time to reflect on the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, St Nicholas of Myra students led a reverent and prayerful liturgy, guiding us through the journey of Jesus from Palm Sunday, to the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, and the sacrifice of Good Friday. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) Through this powerful retelling, our students brought to life the heart of our Catholic faith—walking with Christ in love, sacrifice, and hope. They reminded us that we are called to be people of faith who serve others, show compassion, and live the Gospel each day. As we now wait in hope and anticipation, we prepare our hearts for the joy of the risen Jesus, celebrating the promise of new life and the enduring light of Easter.

2026 ANZAC School Service Today, our Stage 3 students attended the ANZAC School Service at Penrith Showground, joining schools from across the region to honour and remember those who have served our country. We are incredibly proud of our school leaders, Olivia and Isabella, who laid a wreath on behalf of our community with respect and dignity. “They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.” Lest We Forget.
