Dear Parents and Carers,

Today we celebrate Jane McKeough’s 60th Birthday. Jane has been with us at St Michael’s for over 9 years sharing her amazing passion with the Arts. Jane has led students through amazing arts experiences teaching them to appreciate the work of so many incredible artists. We are so appreciative of her wonderful teaching; her amazing Arts displays and her kindness to all- Have a wonderful day Jane!

Parent Teacher Interviews

We are coming up to the end of Semester One Assessment and Reporting cycle. Semester One Reports will be published on COMPASS in Week 10, Thursday 29th June. 
Parents and carers have an opportunity to make an appointment prior to the reports being published to discuss their child's learning in Week 9: Tuesday 20th, Wednesday 21st, Thursday 22nd. Teachers may also contact families to request an interview. We invite parents to login to the parent portal to book an interview time. Interviews are an opportunity to discuss student strengths and challenges and to build partnerships with school and home. The best way to support our children is to show them that we are united in wanting the best for them in all aspects of growing. This includes so much more that grades in a subject area, it is about supporting our children to build positive relationships while developing a growth mindset. Thank you to the parents who have already booked a time and I hope many families will take up this offer as the discussion is always so valuable.
