Kindergarten Enrolment Interviews

This week I have begun the process of Kindergarten enrolment interviews for 2023. I look forward to this time of year as it is an opportunity to meet new families and to continue the journey with existing families. To meet all the young children and families is a true privilege. 

The St Michael’s community is truly respected and the sense of community is a constant theme throughout the interviews. Thank you for your contribution to that and for welcoming our new families to our school with open arms and a helping hand.

National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week

This morning as a school community we came together in morning prayer to recognise National Sorry Day. National Sorry Day is a time when we pause to remember the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The prayer was beautifully led by our Year 6 Living Fully in Community leaders, who also presented each class with an artwork by Riki Salam titled ‘Healing Country’. The artwork represents the resilience of the human spirit and Aboriginal Peoples connection to the land and country. It represents their trials and tribulations but also the strength,endurance and determination of the People of the Stolen Generations and their families. 

Each year National Sorry Day leads us into the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation and National Reconciliation Week which is held  between 27th May and 3rd June.  The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2022 is Be Brave. Make Change. Our students will participate in a variety of classroom activities throughout Reconciliation Week to learn about Australia’s shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. 

Parents and friends are also invited to join us for a National Reconciliation prayer which will be held on Monday 30th May during our morning assembly.
