GALLERY: St Nicholas Early Education Forster Official Blessing and Opening

Today, St Nicholas proudly celebrated OOSH Educators Day, recognising the incredible educators who make our St Nicholas OOSH services such welcoming, engaging and supportive places for children each day.

Smoke drifted gently across the grounds of Rosary Park Catholic Primary School as children watched on with curiosity and respect, taking part in a meaningful cultural experience during National Reconciliation Week.

At St Nicholas Early Education, Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs) are at the heart of learning and development. Their dedication shapes the experiences of children aged 0–5, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Decorate Your Space invited our Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle communities – including Catholic Schools, St Nicholas, CatholicCare, and Parishes – to decorate a space that uniquely reflects their commitment to children’s safety and wellbeing in line with the theme of National Child Protection Week ‘Every conversation matters: Shifting Conversation to Action’.

At St Nicholas, we understand that healthy bodies fuel bright minds.

St Nicholas joined the wider Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle to decorate a visible space to recognise National Child Protection Week 2025.
