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.

Last Friday our school was a sea of orange as we celebrated Harmony Day! 🧡 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

🌿 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. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they care for the garden and learn new skills along the way. ☀️🌱

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 God’s 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. ✝️💜 #olnlawson #cspd2026 #AshWednesday #windowintolearning
