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.

More than just a shirt, it is a symbol of their student leadership and the responsibility they carry in their final year of primary school. As the senior students of our school, Year 6 are called to lead in the way of Jesus, showing kindness, service, humility and respect to all. We look forward to seeing them be positive role models, living out our Gospel values and supporting our school community throughout the year.
