Welcome to Week 9!!

Where has the Term gone? It has been such a pleasure helping to lead the school during this term and I cannot thank everyone enough for the constant support. We are very lucky to have Judy Egan joining us next year and helping our wonderful school to continue to grow and flourish. I have had the pleasure of working with Judy in a previous school and am very excited that our school will be guided by her leadership and wisdom.  

Community Council Nomination

Earlier this week forms went home to nominate for the St Michael’s Community Council. This is a fantastic opportunity to get more involved in the school and help to continue to build our wonderful school community. If you are interested in joining a dynamic and fantastic group, them please get your nomination forms in.   

Step Up

On Friday the 18^th December, which is the final school day of the 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 the 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 year, 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.

School Reports

I wanted to say thank you to the school community about their positive feedback around the new format for writing comments in the Semester reports. Parents have enjoyed the clearer and more precise nature of these comments and the clear feedback on where all students need to move next, to further enhance their learning. 

Continue to be kind to yourselves and each other. The holiday break is nearly here!

Kind regards,

Damien Webb - Principal (Acting)
