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.

What a wonderful community we have! π Our parish, families, teachers, and students have been busily knitting squares, which Miss Mahairas has lovingly brought together to create beautiful blankets for the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Some blankets have already been donated, providing warmth and comfort to those in need during the colder months. These are our latest creations, and we couldn't be prouder of the generosity, kindness, and community spirit shown by everyone involved. #vinnieswinterappeal #cspd2026

These experiences help strengthen understanding, foster pride in identity, and build deeper connections with one another. A big thank you to Uncle Ted for sharing his knowledge, wisdom, and experiences with our students. β€οΈπ€π #olnlawson #windowintolearning #cspd2026 #jarara #yarningcircle

Wow! What an amazing few days for Stage 3. This morning after breakfast was time for more hanging around with High Ropes and then the Gorge Swing. A bite for lunch then back on the bus to be home around 2:30. The children have been so well behaved with great manners and have all challenged themselves achieving more than they thought they could.
