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.

βοΈβ€οΈβπ₯ Sacred Heart Liturgy β€οΈβπ₯βοΈ St Nicholas of Myra students gathered for the Sacred Heart of Jesus Liturgy, a beautiful celebration led by Father Joe. Father Joe talked about how Jesus' heart is depicted on the outside because he shares his love with everyone, and everyone has the capacity to accept each other, be nice to one another and live with one another. Our calling is to imitate the heart of Jesus in our everyday lives.
