Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge

Every year, tens of thousands of students across the ACT participate in the Chief Minister’ Reading Challenge. The Challenge aspires to allow every young person in the ACT to discover the joy reading can bring. We are proud to be registered in the Challenge for this year.

The 2022 Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge ambassadors are local authors Jack Heath, Tracey Hawkins, Irma Gold, Harry Laing, Stephanie Owen Reeder, Tania McCartney, and Emma Batchelor.

St Michael’s Cross Country Carnival!

We are very excited to be able to run our school carnivals again! We will kick off next term with our cross country carnival on Thursday 28^th April (Week 1)! All students will participate in the carnival and students aged 8 years and above will compete to represent our school at the Belconnen Region Carnival later in the term. 

The carnival will proceed in a way that aligns with the COVID regulations at the time of the event. We are hopeful that students will be able to gather in house groups – fingers crossed!

We would love to hear from any parents who are able to volunteer, between 9:15-11:00am, as course marshals. If you can assist, please contact Erin Hardwicke via email.

Term 2 Tennis Clinics

Next term we are fortunate to offer tennis lessons to all our students from K-6. The lessons will be run by Get Set Tennis who are the coaches at Kaleen Tennis Club. The program will run from Weeks 2-5. K-2 classes will have their lessons at school on Tuesday. Years 3-6 will have their lessons on Thursday at the Kaleen Tennis Courts. I think the next Ash Barty is among us!
