Dear Parents and Carers,

Well, we are definitely in the midst of a Canberra Winter! The photos attached tell the story. For the first time in a few years, we actually closed the playground this week as, after the rain, and freezing overnight temperatures there were multiple patches of black ice. 

Thumbs up to all our parents/carers who do an early morning session of Winter Sport on a weekend. If you have any children participating in the Kanga Cup 14-18 July, I wish you the very best and hope that at least if the temperatures drop the sky will be clear and blue!

A huge congratulations to Adeline B for representing St Michael’s at the Rostrum Finals in Florey last night. Adeline shared her speech at the Rainbow Awards Assembly last week and is a true leader in our school, we are very proud of you!  

Congratulations to all our students for their wonderful participation in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Feast Day activities both at St Michael’s and St Monica’s. Thanks to Erika Tokich and Melanie Stratford who organised the days including treats for the students. I am so grateful to our wonderful staff for their hard work, passion and dedication. Staff go above and beyond in the support of every student at St Michael’s.

Thank you to all our families who’ve joined us for assemblies, carnivals, interviews, the Book Fair and many special events over the term. The children love seeing family members at school events and we certainly love the support!

My best wishes to everyone over the Winter break, for warm memories, safe travel and sleep ins.

Many Blessings,
