Dear Parents and Carers,

The National Catholic Education Commission has outlined policy priorities for the federal election to communicate to parents and the wider school community. There are 3 key priorities in the flier attached. Catholic School Parents Archdiocese of Canberra Goulburn invite everyone to a Parent and School Forum for the 2025 Federal Election, Tuesday 29 April 6-7pm at St Mary MacKillop College- Isabella Plains. This is a great opportunity to hear what the 2025 Federal Election Candidates have to say about supporting Catholic Education.

As this term draws to an end, on your behalf I thank our dedicated and passionate staff who continue to give 100% effort to the care, wellbeing and education of your children. I extend a huge thanks to Kim Kennedy our janitor of 10 years, as he takes some well-earned leave to head into retirement. Whether teachers, classroom support assistants, counsellor, office admin or our hardworking janitor, the staff of St Michael’s are a magnificent bunch, and we are so fortunate to have them.

Easter is a wonderful time, not only to celebrate together the New Life of Jesus, but to stop and rest, before the cooler weather arrives. The children have shared that many families will be heading away, and I wish you all safe travels and a joyous time together.

We know you place your precious children in our care, and you can be assured we value your trust and partnership as they grow and develop.

Warm wishes for a blessed Easter,

Stay safe and well,

Judy Egan

Many Blessings,
