๐ Welcome Back to Term 3! ๐ There were plenty of smiles across St Nicholas of Myra as our students returned for the start of Term 3! After a well earned holiday break, it was wonderful to see friends reconnecting, classrooms buzzing with excitement, and our school community coming back together.

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

๐ค๐โค๏ธ Yesterday, our school community gathered for a special NAIDOC Week liturgy, where we reflected on the rich cultures, histories and enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ๐ฃ As part of our celebration, students created footprints to remind us of the journey of First Nations peoples. These footprints also symbolise that each of us has a role to play in walking together with respect, understanding and hope. The footprints formed a circle where students sat during the liturgy, representing that everyone is welcome, everyone is equal, and everyone belongs. As we gathered together, we were reminded to listen with kind hearts โค๏ธ, learn from one another ๐, and continue our shared journey of reconciliation ๐ค.

Today, our Stage 2 students gathered for an engaging Zoom session with the Museum of Australian Democracy (MOAD) in Canberra, joining students from schools across Australia for a special NAIDOC Week presentation. We had the privilege of listening to author Corey Tutt read his new book, Come Home, Bigibila, and share the inspiration and meaning behind the story. Our students were thrilled when Corey answered one of the questions they had submitted in the interactive question and answer chat. Corey also spoke about the significance of NAIDOC Week and encouraging everyone to always show kindness and respect to others. It was a wonderful learning experience, and our students thoroughly enjoyed being part of this special event. โค๏ธ๐ค๐
