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.

🎭 Be The Witness Musical ✝️ Our Stage 3 students were privileged to experience Be The Witness at the Riverside theatre in Parramatta. Be The Witness is a call to reflect on the power of discipleship, the cost of following Jesus, and the quiet, world-changing choices we make through faith, compassion and love in action. More than just a musical, it was a shared and uplifting experience that encouraged our students to think deeply about their own faith and how they can live out the message of Jesus in their everyday lives. We are grateful that our Stage 3 students had this wonderful opportunity to strengthen their faith, reflect on the Gospel and be reminded of what it truly means to be the witness. What a wonderful experience for our students! ❤️15 Sep 2026

🌟 Simmons Collective Challenge Day 🌟 Students from St Nicholas of Myra Primary Penrith, St Matthew's Catholic Primary, Windsor St Finbar's Primary, Glenbrook and St Monica's Primary School Richmond came together for our annual Simmons Collective Challenge Day! Students from Stages 2 and 3 pushed themselves outside their comfort zones as they tackled a range of exciting challenges involving coding, STEM activities, computational thinking and mathematical problem-solving. It was a fantastic opportunity to challenge our learning, meet new friends and work collaboratively with students from across our schools. The best part of the day was seeing the incredible support, encouragement and teamwork shown by students across all four schools. It was wonderful to see everyone cheering each other on, celebrating success and working together to overcome each challenge. What a fun and inspiring day of learning, problem-solving and collaboration!
