Dear Parents and Carers,
Teach
ers were observed using explicit direction and were given excellent feedback from Lorraine, several of our staff are being videoed to show other schools what great practice looks like, I am immensely proud of our staff team. Our next Staff Development Planning Day will be on Tuesday the 26th April, this will be a Pupil Free Day at St Michael’s. On this day we will look at vocabulary and writing and how we can ensure our students become more efficient writers.
Highly Accomplished Teachers
Congratulations to Laura Frogley who received notification this week that she has achieved the status of a ‘Highly Accomplished Teacher’ many hours of work and evidence goes into this classification, Laura joins Jess Hallahan in this status and Damien Webb who is completing the process. We are incredibly fortunate to have wonderful and professional teachers at St Michael’s who are always looking to improve their practice.
Year 5/6 Excursion to Parliament House
The Year 5/6 students and staff thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Parliament House and the Australian Electoral Commission on Monday this week. They have gained valuable insights into democratic processes such as elections. Thank you to the Year 5/6 team for organising this off-site learning.
We have had a busy and productive start to this year and it is great to see so many happy faces each morning. Thank you for the way you have communicated with us around your family’s health and wellbeing. We hope that the Easter season will provide some quality time together.
May you be truly blessed this Easter with the life and joy of the risen Lord.
Happy Easter to all,
Judy Egan
