The students showcased their soccer skills, determination, and teamwork against strong competition from across the diocese. What stood out most was the way our students supported and encouraged one another throughout the day, displaying the wonderful St Nick’s spirit both on and off the field. We are incredibly proud of the sportsmanship, resilience, and enthusiasm they demonstrated. A special thank you to our dedicated teachers for supporting and encouraging the students throughout the day. Your commitment helped make this a fantastic experience for all involved.

🎶 Musica Viva Australia at St Nicholas of Myra 🎶 St Nicholas of Myra students enjoyed a powerful and engaging performance titled Lost Histories by musician and composer Troy, alongside violinist Susie and vocalist Leila. Through music, storytelling and reflection, students explored Troy's connection to history, culture and place. The performance encouraged students to think deeply about their own stories, identities and connections to the world around them. Students enthusiastically sang along to songs they had been learning in Music with Mrs Clarke, making the experience even more meaningful and interactive. The enthusiasm, participation and thoughtful engagement shown by our students throughout the performance were outstanding. A heartfelt thank you to Troy, Susie and Leila for sharing your talents, stories and passion with our St Nicholas of Myra community. We had so much fun learning with you and were inspired by the experience.
