2018 Author Visit
Author Alan Whiticker, a former St Nicholas of Myra and St Dominics student, visited St Nicholas to share his books and experiences of being an author with the students. Alan has written over 50 books (non fiction) many on rugby league and sport. A former teacher, he now writes full time and is also a publisher. He loved visiting the school today and some classrooms and donated over 50 books today from all different authors he represents and publishers. Thank You Alan and a wonderful experience for our students.

✝️ 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.
