Dear Parents/Carers,

We have certainly been hit with a blast of Winter weather this week, unfortunately impacting on the grounds for our Athletics Carnival. We will aim for next Friday, 17 June, depending on the weather, if it is miserable, we will take across runners for a scaled down version. 

Semester One Reporting/Interviews

A reminder that Catholic Education is now issuing your child’s Semester One report via the Compass Parent Portal in Week 10. If you have not updated your email information and downloaded the parent portal or have any questions, please contact our front office staff. You will have the opportunity to book an interview to discuss your child’s report in week 9.

Staff illness and 5/6 Teacher

You will be aware that many schools are grappling with staff illness and the lack of relief teachers. We are being impacted and I thank the staff for the way they have worked with me to ensure students have highest priority. The Pupil free day this Friday 10 June and the last school day of this term 1 July is an acknowledgement from Catholic Education that staff have been unable to access planning and release time and are working above and beyond under difficult circumstances.

We continue to advertise for a teacher in our 5/6 classes. If you have any contacts or know of anyone who would be able to join our community please be in touch.   

Uniform 

Thank you to our families who support our school by ensuring students are in full school uniform. We are happy for the children to wear beanies, coats, scarves, and gloves but ask that where possible, they are navy coloured.   Black school shoes are to be worn on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and runners are only to be worn on sports days- Tuesdays and Thursdays.  If your child is not wearing the correct uniform, please advise your child’s teacher.  We have many second-hand items in our clothing pool that are available for a gold coin donation.  We encourage the children to take pride in their school uniform as it represents St Michael’s.

Thank you for your continued support

Many Blessings
