Welcome to Week 4!

This term is certainly flying by! We are well and truly in the thick of the term. Once again, I’d like to remind everyone to take care of each other and themselves. As we all know the end of the year is extremely busy and the added pressure is felt by everyone.

During Term 4, it is very common for students to be increasingly tired and for the standards of student’s behaviour to slip. Here at St Michael’s we pride ourselves on the behaviour of our students. If any families need extra support during the final part of the year, I encourage you to communicate with your child’s classroom teacher and seek support. The communication between home and school is critical, especially during the later parts of year. Our fantastic staff are always willing to help, so please let us know if we can assist. 

Library

Just a reminder that we have started the process of collecting all the borrowed books, ready for final stocktake for the end of the year. We will suspend borrowing in the next few weeks, to ensure that we give all families enough time to find any of those books that may be hiding. Mrs Hardwicke will continue to share information about the timelines for returning books and the final dates for borrowing.

Kinder Orientation

On Wednesday the 25^th of November we will be welcoming our Kindergarten students for 2021 to St Michael’s for Kinder Orientation. We will also be joined by Judy Egan, our new school Principal. Miss Farhadi, Mrs McCann and the Learning Support Team have been busy planning an exciting day for our new students and we are very excited to see their happy faces join our wonderful school.

Families Leaving St Michael’s

Just a quick reminder, if any families are leaving St Michael’s at the end of 2020, it is important that you send through official emails to myself. As we are in the process of finalising numbers and classes for next year, it is important that we consider those students who are not going to be here next year when forming next year's classes. 

Thank you for the continued support in my acting role, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

Kind regards,

Damien Webb - Principal (Acting)
