Our Lady of Nativity is committed to creating a faith filled environment in which it kindles the flame in constant pursuit of growth for every child, according to principal Lisa Samojlowicz.
“We yearn for our children to be curious, confident, self motivated and excited learners who meet the challenges of being creative contributors and innovative problem solvers,” she said.
There is a famous quote “Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”
Together we can achieve this call to action, and I sleep well at night knowing that this “little’ community certainly is ‘monumental' in effecting the lives of our children, due to our commitment to work together: students, parents, teachers and community.
Let us always remember the “light’ we are and can be to others and appreciate the “light” others are to us.

St Vincent de Paul reached out to let us know that they are running short of snack packs to keep up with demand. A call went out to our teachers, and in their VERY generous OLN spirit, donated enough items to make over 40 snack packs to be dropped off today. Whilst the Winter Appeal is our main Vinnies donation drive, please consider this as an optional extra for the remainder of the term. Items from the list will be greatfully accepted and can be placed in the baskets provided at the front gate at drop off time. Many thanks for your ongoing support for our community. 🥰 #olnisthebest #gracioushearts #CommunitySpirit

Today, we celebrated the mums and mother-figures in our lives in the lead up to Mother’s Day this Sunday 💐 Thank you to everyone who joined us for bacon and egg rolls, our Mother’s Day liturgy, and classroom visits. It’s wonderful to be part of such a close-knit community that comes together to celebrate these special moments. A special mention to our amazing staff for cooking, serving, and supervising—many of whom are mothers themselves. We truly appreciate all that you do! #olnlawson #cspd2026 #bluemountainsprimaryschool

🏀 Huge weekend for Isabella and Sophia! They travelled to Griffith to compete in the Basketball NSW Waratah Western Junior League, representing the Blue Mountains Magic. The team finished 1st on the ladder and won their qualifier to reach the final. They narrowly went down 20–26 on Sunday, but played an incredible game. In their very first season, this is a massive achievement — so proud of them! 💙👏

What a fantastic day at our Stage 2 Futsal event! ⚽️ Our boys finished a strong third, showing great teamwork and determination throughout the day. The girls delivered an incredible all-OLN final, with both teams playing with skill, spirit and sportsmanship. In the end, the Light Blues came away with the win—well done to all involved! A huge thank you to all our players for displaying resilience, teamwork and pride in every game. And to our amazing parents—your support, encouragement, and help with the teams made the day run so smoothly and created such a positive experience for everyone.

This week, Stage 3 participated in an online digital workshop Inspiring Student Leaders. This was led by Dr Stephanie Smith and gave the students an opportunity to think about how they can help others, how they can give back to their community, how they would like to grow as a leader and the leadership qualities that they already have.

Today, our students proudly took part in the ANZAC March in Lawson. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the importance of freedom, community, and the sacrifices made—both past and present—to protect these values. Our students represented OLN with great pride and reverence. Lest we forget. #olnlawson #anzacday

In the lead up to ANZAC Day tomorrow, our Year 6 students took part in a writing competition run by Lawson Combined Services, reflecting on what this important day means to them. Students from across local schools submitted thoughtful and moving pieces, and we are incredibly proud to share that one of our students, Amy, was awarded the trophy today. Amy had the opportunity to read her writing to the school and has been invited to share her piece with the wider community at the ANZAC service in Lawson tomorrow. Congratulations, Amy—we are so proud of you and the way you have honoured the spirit of ANZAC Day. You are warmly invited to join us in representing our school at the service tomorrow. Please see Compass for full details.
