Dear Parents and Carers,

Congratulations to the students who have received Rainbow Awards today. These students truly exemplify what it means to give their best and make our school a great place.

A behaviour ‘Guru’

This week we have welcomed Ian Luscombe to St Michael’s to work with us in the area of positive behaviour management. We are reflecting on some of our current practices and looking at ways to improve our student management, always ensuring that our students feel safe and supported. We are working with Ian to set up a parent session.

Assessment and reporting

Thank you to families who booked and attended their interview sessions. The reports will be published via the Compass parent portal today. Please let us know if you experience any issues accessing your child’s report.

Compass

Just a reminder that Compass is now our main platform for communication, it contains information about events and permissions, and keeps families up to date with current information.

Please let us know if you are having any issues and we will support you in using the platform.

Parent Library

We recently sorted some of our parent library books, so if you are interested in borrowing a book for your enjoyment at any time, please feel free to enter via the glass doors in the morning or afternoon pick up/drop off and visit the shelves, just as you enter the library, it is an honesty system. Showing your children that you enjoy books helps them understand the importance of reading.  

Save the date

Saturday 19 November is our 40^th Anniversary Celebration, if you would like to help with planning or have any photos or memorabilia we would love to hear from you.

Please email maria.papasidero@cg.catholic.edu.au

As we come to the end of a busy term, I want to express my gratitude to everyone in the St Michael’s community for the exceptional way they continue to support and care for each other. Many families have been, and continue to be impacted by health issues, including our staff families. Teacher shortages remain with us, and we continue to look for solutions to this issue. Despite the challenges, St Michael’s remains a place of wonder, hope and peace. Our core values of forgiveness, compassion and kindness, inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus remain at the heart of who we are and how we live. Thank you for the way you trust and support us to help your children learn and grow.

Safe travels and warm wishes to all our families over the break and we look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday 19 July. 

Many Blessings,
