Learning at St Nicholas of Myra Primary

St Nicholas of Myra is a place where curiosity, imagination and love of learning thrive through working together to provide the most effective, engaging and challenging learning experiences for students.

As part of a system of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta, we’re working together to transform learning for students in Greater Western Sydney. This means reimagining and refreshing learning and teaching for today’s world and today’s learners.

The purpose and promise of a Catholic education is to inspire each learner - student, teacher and family - to discover a meaningful and flourishing life.

Beyond the Classroom

We believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. Our school gives them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.

Extracurricular activities we offer

Sport

Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport. Each year, St Nicholas of Myra has a whole school Athletics Carnival and Swimming Carnival. From these events, students have the opportunity to compete against other students, if selected, from other Parramatta schools at Nepean Zone, Parramatta Diocesan and finally, representing Mackillop.

Students in primary (Years 3- 6) also have the opportunity to participate in various gala days throughout the school year. Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Primary School Sports Council.
