As noted on the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) website;

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are essential areas of study that foster students’ skills and prepare them to participate in a rapidly changing world and contribute to Australia’s future development and prosperity. With this in mind and aligned with the school’s Vision and Mission, next Tuesday Nazareth school will be conducting a STEM day for all students. The day will aim at promoting STEM by providing a range of engaging and fun learning experiences which will be aligned closely with the Science and Technology syllabus. The activities will be class based and will be facilitated by Nazareth staff during normal learning time. Students will be involved in designing and making a roller coaster, a catapult and a raft. M-Bot robots will also be used along with Lego. I wish to thank the staff who have been involved in planning for the day.

One of the highlights of the Nazareth calendar each year is Grandparents Day. This year Grandparents Day will be Friday August 16.  All grandparents, great grandparents and those that fulfil the role of grandparent are invited to attend the school from 8:45 for a Prayer Celebration to commence in the school hall at 9:00am. Morning tea will be available for guests followed by an opportunity to visit classrooms and the playground. After Recess (11:00am) normal timetabled learning and teaching will continue for children in their classrooms.

Congratulations to all students for their efforts at the recent school Athletics Carnival and in particular congratulations to the students acknowledged as Age Champions.

Enjoy the week ahead
