Dear Parents and Carers,

What a wonderful week it has been. It has been so exciting to hear and see all the smiling faces of the children this week. A school is supposed to be full of energy, children’s voices and classes full. The children have settled back into school life and routine beautifully.

I would like to thank all parents and carers for your ongoing support and feedback. We acknowledge the challenge that remote learning had on juggling family life and work. As we slowly return to a sense of normality please continue to take care of yourselves and each other.

The teachers here at St Michael’s have demonstrated a deep commitment to continuing quality learning and maintaining connection with their students. They have gone above and beyond during some very challenging times, I am certainly proud to say that I am a part of the St Michael’s community.

Below is an excerpt from “The Worth of the Ordinary - Stories for your Journey” by Br Damien Price, reminding us to focus on what is important.

There is beauty all around us, if we choose to have the eyes to see.

There is courage within us, if we only believe.

The best battle won, is the one within.

The most beautiful sunrise follows a night of storm and wind.

You can hold your head high when you have given your all.

So day after choose to walk tall.
