Dear Parents/Carers,

In the last few weeks meeting families for 2022 has been wonderful. Parents who once attended St Michael’s return with their children because they believe in our Mission and Vision. As the semester ends, I want to acknowledge and thank everyone in our community for everything they do to build a place of harmony and challenge.

For anyone who’s cooked soup for the sleep out, timed a race at the swimming carnival, fed the fish, cooked the BBQ, taught a class, answered phones, emptied the bins and the list goes on- no matter how big or small you make this community special, in the words of Saint Teresa of Calcutta;

“Its not what you do, its how much love you put into the doing,”

May your family have a safe and restful break and a special welcome home to the Bradnam family as Jack grows stronger each day- what an inspirational journey of courage,

Many Blessings

Judy Egan

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Feast Day, Your team for our Team

Please be generous this Friday 25 June as we fundraise for the new TV Monitors at St Michael’s Church. Children are invited to wear their favourite team jersey for the day and we are asking that each family donate the cost of a cup of coffee for the privilege.

A reminder to families that the first day of Term 3, Monday 12 July has been allocated by Catholic Education as a Pupil Free Day. St Michael’s are excited to be welcoming staff from Holy Spirit Nicholls, St Bernard’s Bateman’s Bay and St Thomas the Apostle Kambah to continue our Catalyst Journey.
