Welcome to Saint Nicholas School, an educational institution that strongly stands up for the principle of “Non-Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus” which means “We do not learn for school, but life”. We welcome all Saint Nicholas School community to take part in our annual MOS event, where our pupils and teachers get together to celebrate and honour our new intake.
