2019 Panthers Adopt a School
Once again in 2019, St Nicholas of Myra is taking part in the Panthers Adopt a School program. Players from the first grade squad will visit students six times this year. Students get the opportunity to share their learning with the players, get autographs and ask some questions about what it is like to play in the National Rugby League.
This week, Penrith Panthers players, Billy Burns, Hame Sele and James Fisher- Harris, visited Stage 3 students. Students shared their imaginative writing with the players and also had a chance ask some questions and get some autographs.

✝️ Intergenerational Program ✝️ Today, our first group of Year 6 students began their journey in our Intergenerational Program — and what a special experience it was. At St Nicholas of Myra, we are committed to developing our students academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. A key part of this formation is providing opportunities for them to encounter and learn from others in our wider community. This morning, our students visited the residents at Royce Retirement Village for the first time. Through shared conversations, laughter and simple moments of connection, both our students and the residents were enriched. We are incredibly proud of the compassion, respect and maturity shown by our Year 6 students. They truly embodied our school values and the belief in the dignity of every person. We look forward to many more meaningful visits throughout the year. 💙💜🧡
