Welcome to Week 7

November is nearly complete! Wow!

As we work through Week 7, we are reminded of the Sabbath week and committing to the idea of taking time for rest and respite for ourselves and our families.  

Showcase Assembly

At St Michael’s we have many talented students, and one of the many ways we are able to celebrate these talents is through our showcase assembly. Our talented Piano students have been busy practising and recording their pieces and these will be placed on our Remote Learning Website on Friday. Families will be able to log on and watch the talents of many of our students.

Students from all classes will be given some time on Friday to watch the performances of their fellow classmates. A huge thank you goes to Mary-Liz for the continued dedication she shows to the students that she helps guide.  

Rainbow Awards

This Term’s Rainbow Awards will be awarded at the Friday Morning Assembly, occurring on Friday the 4^th of December. Families of those children who have been nominated will receive a letter this week.

There will be a special Rainbow Award celebration Day occurring on Thursday the 10^th of December. All the students who have received rainbow awards throughout the year will be invited to wear free clothes for the day and will be treated to a special lunch and treats throughout the day. Additional information about the day will be coming out next week.

Step Up

On Friday the 18^th December, which is the final school day of year, students will participate in Step Up. Students will be given the opportunity to spend an hour with their new teacher for 2021 and their new classmates. We are in the process of finalising our class lists to help make this transition seamless for all of our students. Teachers are very excited about preparing for this.

For those students and families, who will be away on the final day of Term, an email will be send out on the Friday afternoon indicating the class teacher. We will not be sending home class list with students. Please re-visit last week’s newsletter to be reminded of what grade teachers will be teaching in 2021.

Lunch and Recess

We have a growing number of students coming to the Front Office seeking additional food for recess and lunch time. We are often unable to provide students with extra food. It would be great for parents and carers to have a conversation with their children around this matter, to ensure that everyone is happy with the amount of food in lunchboxes 

Phones at School

Just a reminder that if students require phones at school to contact adults after school, they need to be handed in to the Front Office at the beginning of the day and collected at the end of day. Phones are not to be in school bags or classrooms during the day.

Have a fantastic and restful week and thank you for the continued support

Kind regards,

Damien Webb - Principal (Acting)
