This month at Our Lady of the Nativity, we are celebrating Child Protection Week and Our Lady of the Nativity Feast day!
Child protection Week
Monday marked the beginning of Child Protection Week and this years theme is: "Putting children first" So we started Child Protection Week with a big surprise - a colourful balloon arch to welcome our beautiful kids to School! Thanks to all the staff who worked together to make this surprise a reality!
Feast Day
What a great day the community had celebrating Our Lady of the Nativty Feast Day! To celebrate, the staff hosted a lovely sausage sizzle at OLN - look at those terrific smiles! "In all things may God be glorified', especially our kids!

Last Friday our school was a sea of orange as we celebrated Harmony Day! 𧑠As a Catholic school, we are guided by our values of love, respect, and inclusion, which were beautifully reflected throughout the day. Our students proudly wore orange to show that everyone belongs and took part in a special activity by creating and planting handprints - symbolising unity, respect, and the strength of our diverse community growing together. We are so proud of our students for embracing kindness, inclusion, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. Together, we continue to build a school where every voice is valued and everyone feels they belong. #HarmonyDay #EveryoneBelongs #CelebrateDiversity

πΏ The Gardening Club was back in action this week! Students made the most of a few brief sunny breaks between the rain to head out into the garden, work together, and make some great progress. Itβs wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they care for the garden and learn new skills along the way. βοΈπ±

Yesterday, our school community gathered in faith and unity to celebrate Ash Wednesday and mark the beginning of Lent. We joined in prayer to begin our Lenten journey together as a school family. Lent is a special time in which we prepare our hearts for Easter. During this sacred season, we unite with Catholic communities throughout the world, continuing the rich traditions of the Church. As we received ashes in the sign of the cross, we were reminded that God is calling us to forgive, to be free from what holds us back, and to help bring hope and peace to others. The ashes are a powerful symbol of reflection, renewal, and Godβs endless mercy. May this Lenten season be a time of growth, compassion, and faith for each member of our community as we journey toward Easter together. βοΈπ #olnlawson #cspd2026 #AshWednesday #windowintolearning
