2018 Parent Helper Breakfast
On Wednesday, 12 December, staff and parents gathered for the 2018 Parent Helper Breakfast. This breakfast is a small way to say thank you to the parents and carers who assist during the school year including covering library books, assisting in the canteen, assisting in events such as discos, barbecues and concerts as well as helping coach students in a range of sporting gala days.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated and valued by the entire school community. Every helping hand, not matter how small, helps our students to be safe, respectful learners.

Transitioning smoothly into βbig schoolβ: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! Itβs a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting βbig schoolβ marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

πβ¨ Merry Christmas β¨π St Nicholas of Myra wishes all our families and community a very Merry Christmas. At Christmas, we celebrate the greatest gift of all, Jesus, Godβs ultimate gift of love to humanity. Through His birth, we are reminded of hope, joy, and the power of love given freely to the world. This Christmas, we can honour this gift by spreading love through our giving, our actions, and our words, especially to those who need it most. May the peace and joy of Christ be with you and your loved ones today and always. ππ§‘πβοΈ

βοΈ Fourth Sunday of Advent βοΈ Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent. As we light the fourth candle of the Advent wreath, we reflect on Love, the ultimate gift of God, who sent us His only Son into the world. This candle invites us to pause and reflect: π How are we called to love one another? π How can we show greater kindness, compassion and care in our words and actions, especially to those who need it most? As we journey closer to Christmas, may our hearts be open to sharing Godβs love in simple, meaningful ways within our families, our school community, and beyond.

Last but not least, a HUGE shoutout to the incredible St Nicholas of Myra staff who made today so special for our students. Every day they grow little hearts and minds in the way of the Catholic faith, guiding students with care, compassion and purpose, and today they proved they know how to have a lot of fun along the way too! ππ§‘ππ¨π¦
