Dear Parents and Carers,

The students have made a great start to Term 4 and it has been wonderful checking in with classes and hearing all the holiday news.

It is a huge day on Friday for many of our students and staff and I wish everyone well as St Michael’s head off on the wonderful trip to Boorowa. I have been to the carnival on multiple occasions, and it has been a great day for our Catholic Community and a wonderful way to support a small town. I know that our students will be great sports and I sincerely thank parents and teachers who have trained teams, are transporting students or helping on the day- your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Semester Reporting

CE has advised that the final reports for Semester 2 will include a general comment at the end of the report. The final section will include brief comments for English, Mathematics, Religious Education and other areas specific to class learning. Reports will be published to Compass on Monday 4 December. We will not be scheduling an online booking system for parent interviews in Week 9; however, you are most welcome to contact the class teacher via email if you would like to make an appointment to discuss your child’s report.

Grandparents and Special Friends Day

Just a reminder that Friday 27 October 9am-11am, we welcome our Grandparents and Special Friends to St Michael’s.

To assist us with catering please RSVP by Wednesday 25 October via email Office.stmichaelsps@cg.catholic.edu.au or phone us on 02 62414022.

Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge

Congratulations to Olivia and Zara Cameron who represented St Michael’s at the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge yesterday. Thank you to Mrs Hardwicke for her support.

Building Update

Thank you for your patience as our renovations continue at the front of the school. We will continue to utilise the back gate for YMCA before and after school care and morning and afternoon entry and exits. The car line pick up and drop off has not been impacted by the renovations. Just a reminder that for safety reasons, students should not arrive at school before 8:20am as there is no supervision.

If you need to collect your child for an appointment please call the office, you will need to enter via sliding doors and follow signs to front office to sign your child out. Please reach out if you have any concerns, we are happy to support.

Graduation

Year 6 Graduation preparation is well underway. Year 6 Parents are reminded to book tickets via the Compass portal. Information was sent via the Compass News feed on the 11 October.

Thank you again to all our families for your continued support and best wishes to our Boorowa teams.

Many Blessings and travel safely,

Judy Egan
