In Term 4, Stage 2 is lucky enough to be working with a professional author in Term 4 once a week with the company WestWords
The project will be running for the first 5 weeks of the term and has already started off with a bang! The students are working hard on the way they craft stories, different features of texts, and getting feedback from a professional author. In the weeks to come, they will also have an opportunity to be working alongside a professional Illustrator. We look forward to seeing the student’s creative writing develop and to the students’ turning into authors.

On this Good Friday, we pause as a Catholic community to remember the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. Today is a sacred and solemn day in our Catholic tradition. A time to reflect on the depth of Christ’s love, shown through His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross. Through His suffering, we are reminded of the power of selfless love, mercy, and forgiveness. As a school community, we are invited to enter into this moment with reverence and prayer, giving thanks for the gift of salvation and reflecting on how we can live out Christ’s example in our own lives, through kindness, compassion, and service to others. May this day be one of quiet reflection and hope, as we journey together towards the joy of Easter. ✝️

Each year, our Stage 3 students are entrusted with the responsibility of portraying the events of Holy Week and the Stations of the Cross. Through their reverent and powerful enactment, they bring the story of Christ’s passion to life in a way that leaves us breathless, deepening our understanding and strengthening our faith. We thank our Stage 3 students for the way they lead our school community with such faith, courage, and respect. Through their witness, they remind us of the true meaning of sacrifice, love, and hope, inspiring us all to walk more closely with Jesus.

✝️ Holy Week Liturgy ✝️ As Catholics, Holy Week is the most sacred time of our year. A time to reflect on the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, St Nicholas of Myra students led a reverent and prayerful liturgy, guiding us through the journey of Jesus from Palm Sunday, to the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, and the sacrifice of Good Friday. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) Through this powerful retelling, our students brought to life the heart of our Catholic faith—walking with Christ in love, sacrifice, and hope. They reminded us that we are called to be people of faith who serve others, show compassion, and live the Gospel each day. As we now wait in hope and anticipation, we prepare our hearts for the joy of the risen Jesus, celebrating the promise of new life and the enduring light of Easter.
