Director of Schools Visit

The Director of Schools, Mr Peter Hill, is visiting all schools across our diocese this year. Peter came to our diocese at the beginning of last year, just before the pandemic hit. Peter Hill is intending to visit all schools to get to know the staff, students and parent communities. He will be visiting our school on Thursday 6 May, and he will  join us for our liturgy at 12.30pm. I look forward to welcoming Mr Peter Hill to St Michael’s and sharing how wonderful our community is.
