COMMUNICATION

ST NICHOL AS SERBIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL

“Bogdan Bolta”

Dear children and dear parents, beloved brothers and sisters,

A very important moment in the Liturgy is called anamnesis (remembering),

where we remember God’s saving deeds, including those that have not yet

happened in our time. I would like to use this opportunity to remind you of

something that has not yet happened, but it sure will.

God willing, one day, in many, many, many, years… our current students will

be much older than you are now. Their legs will not be as fast and strong as

they are today, and their dancing years will be long gone. Their hands will be

weak and their eyes teary so they will not be able to write and read as they

do now. Their careers will pass, their children will be building new homes

with new people, and they will bring their grandkids to our school. Our faces

will smile on them from the walls, and they will struggle to remember when

was the photo taken and who is in it. However, their soul will be as young

and as vigorous as ever. Their soul, like yours, like everyone’s, is immortal.

And their only chance of good preparation for the everlasting spiritual life is

your life in the Church that Lord Jesus Christ established for our salvation.

Remember salvation!

FATHER NEMANJA MRDJENOVIC

Dear Families,

Dearest families and friends,

Welcome to our latest edition of the school newsletter.

Each week, as the tasks become harder, the students rise to the challenges

and produce some incredible results in their reading, writing and speaking.

Each and every week, we see students apply their new skills in their work

and walk away smiling knowing, they have achieved a better result in

their spelling or are able to communicate effectively with their peers.

The students are meeting the expectations and more and it is all possible

to the amount of support they are receiving from home and in the

classroom. Without our incredible teachers, Bojana and Mihailo, our parent

helpers, Nada, Aleksandra and Ranka, we wouldn’t be able to offer the best

opportunities for the students, so thank you for all of your time and all

that you do.

Term 4 will resume on Friday 18th October at 6pm for all students. It will

be a busy term as students will be involved in our Sveti Sava Akademija

preparations, assessments for reporting purposes and an exciting new topic

to finish a remarkable year. Please ensure you check your child’s folder each

week for messages, homework tasks or updates about the term.

The teachers will be extremely busy but always have time to answer any

questions you may have about your child’s learning, so please don’t hesitate

to speak with them after our lessons each week.

It seems as though Term 3 flew in a blink of an eye yet so many

achievements were made by our incredible students. All students ended

Term 3 with smiles, a sense of accomplishment and relief as they welcomed

a well-deserved school holiday break.

I would like to wish you all a wonderful start to Term 4 and I look forward to

seeing you all when we return .

Warm regards and God Bless,

LJUBICA MANSELL

Our students are extremely talented and have

represented St Nicholas Orthodox Church

with pride as they perform to the best of their

ability. Here are some highlights of our students

performing at Bonnyrigg Festival in August and

then again at St Sava College in September.

Outstanding performances by all students and

we look forward to seeing them again on stage in
