News from the Principal

Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

Attendance at school is crucial to your child achieving the best results they can. The start of the day is a most important time, being only ten minutes late means that your child can miss explicit teaching time. Ten minutes per day adds up to 50 minutes per week of lost learning.

It is much harder on your child to have to come in late to the class rather than settle in and commence the day with all of the other students. The school gates open at 8:30am and classes begin at 9:00am. We ask that all parents please make a concerted effort to have your children at school on time.

Sports News 

Last week a number of our Year 5/6 students participated in the Regional Winter Sports Competition. Congratulations to all our teams and a special thankyou to the parents who supported and helped out on the day. A special mention to our boys soccer team who came runners up! Well done everyone!!! 

Student Learning

The Gold expo was a huge success with the students enjoying being able to demonstrate their learning to other people.Thank you to everyone who was able to visit the 5/6 learning area. Your support was greatly appreciated. Congratulations to the students and teaching team for all their hard work in getting the day ready.

Thank you 

We are blessed to have such a supportive parent (and grandparent) community who are able to help us with school events such as Foundation reading, swimming programs and winter sports. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. It takes a village to raise a child and the St Michaels village is thriving with your support.  

COVID protocol reminder 

Covid is still very active at St Michaels and we ask that you please take note and follow the school protocols that are in place. It is strongly recommended that students:

  • Who test positive to COVID-19 should stay home and isolate for five (5) days;
  • Should not attend school after five (5) days if still symptomatic;
  • Who are symptomatic but have not tested positive should not attend school until their symptoms resolve;
  • Parents, guardians or carers advise the school of the COVID-19 positive test result.

To assist with limiting the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses, parents, guardians and carers should be strongly encouraged to ensure that their child(ren) remain at home if they are unwell, including if they have tested positive to COVID-19.
