Welcome back everyone!

This week we welcomed back Kindergarten students on Monday and they will be attending full time as normal moving forward. There were a few tears and a few tired little ones by the end of the day, however, they were all so happy to see their friends and staff. We are so happy to see them back and to get them back into routines and learning at school. 

We also welcomed back Years 2, 4 & 6 on Monday and Tuesday. It was great to see them all and especially to get our leaders back into the school environment for their last year of Primary school. 

We look forward to welcoming back Years 1, 3, & 5 tomorrow and Friday. Those students who have been attending throughout the whole Remote Learning due to their parent's work committments loved to see all their friends back. It has been quite tough for them to attend school everyday whilst their friends are at home learning. 

A reminder, that this transition plan continues for next week. All students are back on Tuesday 2 June (after the long weekend).

Every child is important at St Michael’s and we would like to welcome each of you back by name. Your school is a place where you belong, where you are loved and where you are known. Can you find your name as you walk into school? 

Enrolment

A reminder that our enrolment period for 2021 is now open. Whilst we will of course accept enrolments throughout the year, the official enrolment period closes this Friday. If you have any friends or family interested in enrolling at St Michael's, please point them in our direction. 

Compass

Over the last few days we have rolled out Compass, this will be our system platform. We are focusing on a section at a time and this week has been attendance and roll marking. Nothing really changes for parents at the moment however down the track, once we roll out other sections, parents will have access to a dashboard where you will see absences, send notes, excursions, sick bays notifications plus more. It is going to be a great system for us regarding administration and operational tasks. 

Watch this space!

Enjoy the week ahead.

Take care.
