At St Nicholas of Myra Primary School, we believe the best way to share the story of our school is through the voices of our students. Our captains spoke with confidence and pride about the strong faith, rich culture and quality learning that are part of daily life at St Nicholas. Their warmth and authenticity truly reflected the spirit of our community. We extend our sincere thanks to Vivien, Olivia, Yethum and Isabella for their servant leadership and outstanding representation of our school.

βοΈ Intergenerational Program βοΈ Today, our first group of Year 6 students began their journey in our Intergenerational Program β 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. πππ§‘
