Dear Parents and Carers,
On Monday Father Mick and Father Kos visited St Michael’s and spoke with classes about Easter. It was very thoughtful of them to provide the children with some Easter reminders and we thank them for their kindness. The teachers and students have been working on prayer liturgies to celebrate the story of Easter and we are grateful for the care and preparation in providing these for other students, staff, and families.
On Tuesday 2 April many of our students will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Congratulations to these students and families as they participate in this beautiful Sacrament that brings peace and hope into our lives. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in their preparation particularly Father Mick, the Parish Team, Mrs Tokich our St Michael’s Religious Education Coordinator, and staff.
Rainbow Awards
At St Michael’s we acknowledge positive behaviours in many ways. One of these is to share Harmony Awards and Rainbow Awards. Teachers give Harmony Awards each week and select 2 students for Rainbow Awards at the end of each term. Parents are always welcome to join us for Assemblies each Friday as we congratulate students receiving awards.
Futsal
Good luck to our Futsal teams who are participating in a Gala day at Fadden today. Thank you to Mr Philip Villarroel for his coaching and to Mr Howland and Miss Sahariv for accompanying the children, we hope you have a great time and remember to be wonderful ambassadors for St Michael’s.
Easter News
Thank you to the Parent team who organised the Easter Buns and delivered them to school for families, the children were very excited to take these home. We are looking forward to an Easter Hat parade on Tuesday morning in our courtyard after the Easter long weekend Tuesday 2 April 9am. We hope this will provide some simple craft time at home and is not intended to cause any extra stress or costs. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
The Jesuit Community offer a free daily retreat that is sent to your inbox, sometimes this reflection is a great way to start your day.

As we approach the long weekend, I wish all our families a joyful Easter celebration,
Safe travels and Easter Blessings,
