In 2019 we will continue to unpack our Mission and Vision statement through our school theme. 'Growing with the Spirit' will be our 2019 School Theme. This will underpin all that we do throughout the school. We will explore this through a specific focus each term. Term 1 we will 'Include with the Spirit'. Term 2 we will 'Engage with the Spirit. Term 3 we will 'Support with the Spirit' and Term 4 we will finish our year to 'Empower with the Spirit'. Each term we will bring focus to certain values that are the foundation of the St Michael's Community. Those being; acceptance, empathy, belonging, challenge, creativity, curiosity, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, respect, responsibility and harmony as referenced in our Mission and Vision statements. 

Our school theme will connect with Scripture through reference to Matthew 13:32 - 'Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree'.

Pope Francis is quoted saying 'Education enables us to love life and opens us to the fullness of life'. This will also inform our direction for 2019. 

An exciting year ahead!
