Congratulations to the students who received Term 3 Rainbow Awards. Congratulations to Ned and Lydia from KL, Maya and Arietta from 1/2F, Jahzara and Isabella from 1/2M, Luca and Logan from 1/2W, Austin and Finley from 3/4YM, Mitchell and Clarisse from 3/4AK, Ari and Mischa from 5/6B and Joshua and Tayla from 5/6FW.
Some words used to describe these children by their teachers include kind, thoughtful, inspiration, determination, enthusiasm, passion, motivated, considerate, hard working, friendly, respectful and kind-heartedness.
Mr Webb and I look forward to celebrating with these students, along with Term 1 and Term 2 students who received a Rainbow Award and those students who will be awarded later in Term 4, when we have a special Rainbow Award Celebration Day. More information to come next term.
Sacrament of Reconciliation 
Tomorrow we begin our Sacrament of Reconciliation journey for those students in Year 3 and their families. Tomorrow, our Parent Formation Night will be held at St Monica's at 6pm. If you can't attend, please email Meaghan to let her know meaghan.younger@cg.catholic.edu.au
Year 5/6 Travel Expo
This afternoon and tomorrow morning, our students in Years 5/6 will be hosting a Travel Expo in the hall. I have been observing these students working extremely hard to showcase their learning about a particular country. The hall will be open from 2-4pm this afternoon and again tomorrow morning from 8.30-10am. Please come along to see their great learnings.
2020 Staffing News
It is with great pleasure that I can confirm 
that Jess Figura and Sarah Anderson, both who have been with us in a transfer position this year, have decided to accept permanancy with us moving forward from 2020. Both Jess and Sarah have provided so much to their classes and the wider school this year and we are delighted they can stay with us.
I can also officially announce that Jess Lewis will continue on with us in 2020 in a temporary position. Jess has also given so much to her class and the school community this year. We are very pleased that Jess has decided to stay with us again next year.
Jacqui Ramesh will also be staying with us next year to continue in a temporary capacity to teach Indonesian lessons. Again, very pleased that Jacqui will be with us again in 2020.
It is great testimony for a school to have staff who choose to remain at a school. This is something that isn't very common with changes normally occurring each year. At this stage, we will hopefully have very minimal changes. Of course, things can change and I will keep you up to date when I can. I will have further news in the coming fortnight to share.
A reminder that Lost Property items are on the bench going into B Block. There are many jumpers/jackets and containers. Anything not claimed by the end of term will be cleaned and reused by the school or discarded if not in good condition.
Our St Michael's Fun and Fitness Day will be happening on Thursday next week. Thank you to those parents who have already emailed Damien to offer to help cook the BBQ and cut fruit. If you could spare some time on Thursday 26 Spetember between 12-1.30, that would be greatly appreciated. Please email Damien at damien.webb@cg.catholic.edu.au
The plan for the day will be that we start with St Michael's Feast Day Mass at 9.30am. A special recess of a packet of chips and muffin will be provided to students. After recess, students will enjoy movie time in the block areas. A sausage sizzle will be provided for students for lunch at 1pm, followed by the Colour Fitness afternoon starting at 1.30pm. Any families wanting to join in the Colour Fun, are welcome to come along. We will finish our fun day with an ice block and fruit.
Enjoy the week ahead.
Regards,
Pat Ellis
