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.

🦎 Meet our newest enrolment… Pancake! 💙 Pancake is our resident blue-tongue lizard and, although we haven’t seen a school uniform yet, it has already mastered the morning arrival routine! Most mornings, Pancake can be found stretched out at the gate, soaking up the sunshine and keeping a close eye on students as they arrive. ☀️👀 Already a much-loved member of the OLN community, Pancake seems to have decided that the front gate is the perfect spot for a little morning people-watching. Welcome to OLN, Pancake — we’re so glad you’ve joined us! 💙🦎

Our Stage 3 students had a fantastic time participating in the Catholic Mission Socktober Launch and Soccer Gala Day, supported by the Western Sydney Wanderers. Students enjoyed playing soccer against other schools while celebrating teamwork, friendship and faith in action. It was a wonderful day of fun and connection, reminding us that together we can help make a positive difference in the lives of others. ⚽🧦❤️

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

Today is National Tree Day! 🌳 To celebrate, our school planted a beautiful Silky Oak, an Australian native tree, on the oval where it has plenty of room to grow into a large, healthy tree. Silky Oaks are known for their stunning orange flowers, which attract birds and help support local wildlife. As our tree grows, it will provide cool shade for children to enjoy while they play, learn, and relax. Mr Baddock used AI to show us what our Silky Oak will look like when it is fully grown, giving everyone a glimpse of its exciting future. We can't wait to watch it grow and become a special part of our school for many years to come. A big thank you to our Gardening Club for helping make this wonderful project possible! 💚🌿 #olnlawson #cspd2026 #bestschoolinthemountains #nationaltreeday
