Message from the Principal

As Principal of Nazareth I wish to reassure everyone of my commitment to the school community and of the high priority I place on the safety and wellbeing of all members of the School. A calm, measured, safe approach is required from everyone so that we can all support each other and in particular provide support for our children.

I recommend to everyone the value of referring to current information via the following link COVID - 19 Information Centre.

This information which pertains to Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Wollongong is updated regularly. I will keep Nazareth parents/carers updated with relevant Nazareth information. Please refer to details in this Newsletter outlining changes and adjustments already in place.

I respectfully suggest to everyone to focus on maintaining calm for your family and explore the numerous ways you can show kindness and support to others. 

I wish to extend my most sincere thanks to the outstanding work that the Nazareth staff continue to do each day.

Peter Dempsey
Principal
