St Nicholas’ Welcomes Mr Harvey as Our New Principal

13th Nov 2025

Dear Parents/Guardians and school community,

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as your new principal. My name is Ben Harvey, and I am honoured to return to a place that is deeply meaningful to me, not only as your principal but as a former pupil.

This school shaped the foundations of who I am today, instilling in me the moral values and sense of purpose that continue to guide my life and leadership.

Having experienced firsthand the transformative power of this community, I know the incredible impact that faith, love and support can have on a child’s journey. These principles will remain at the heart of everything we do together. Our shared mission is to provide every student with a high-quality education that nurtures academic excellence while building character and resilience.

I am privileged to work alongside an experienced and dedicated staff who consistently deliver rich, engaging learning experiences. Their commitment to excellence ensures that our students are prepared not only for success in school but for life beyond the classroom. Together with teachers, parents, and the wider community we will continue to create an environment where every child feels valued, every voice is heard and every success is celebrated.

I look forward to meeting each of you, listening to your ideas and building strong partnerships that will help us achieve our shared goals.

Thank you for welcoming me back into this community. Let us work together to create a school that reflects the very best of faith, love, and support.

With enthusiasm and commitment,

Yours In Education,

Mr. Harvey
