Our Catholic Identity

Mission Month - “Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move" 

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Crazy Sock Day event, which was part of our Catholic Mission Month celebrations under the theme "Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move." The money raised was to support and  give care for vulnerable children in Timor-Leste

Our school has always been committed to making a positive impact, and once again, you have demonstrated your unwavering support for those in need. Through the fun and colourful spirit of Crazy Sock Day, we united our community in a heartwarming display of generosity and compassion. We raised $235.

Our students focused on the value of peace. 

Our hearts go out to the people of Israel during these challenging times.

Let us unite in prayer:

May the light of hope shine brightly in the hearts of those affected by unrest.

May the path to lasting peace be found through compassion and empathy.

As a school community, let's foster an environment of love and support.

We send prayers of hope for  the people of Israel.

St Michaels Centenary

Saturday October 28 we came together to  celebrate the St Michael’s centenary! The air was filled with joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of community spirit.

The love and unity we experienced are the foundation upon which we will continue to build our community in the years to come.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this momentous occasion especially Mrs Peardon for her endless preparation and planning. Here's to the next century of faith, love, and community at St Michael’s!

Grandfriends Day

Grandparents Liturgy

On Wednesday 1 November we celebrated All Saints' Day, All Souls day with a liturgy, followed by a picnic lunch . We also took the time as a school community to recognise those wonderful Grandparents, and other special people in our lives, who share with their loved ones the gift of love and support.

The purpose behind celebrating Grandparents day on these special feast days is so that we all can be reminded of the fact that we can see the ‘saintly’ attributes in the face of those we interact with each and every day. The term 'Saint' can apply to each of us as we strive and stumble to imitate Jesus Christ in our lives. Fr Ken, during his blessing, reminded us all of how blessed we are to have wonderful grandparents and other special people who provide the example of sainthood through their qualities of generosity, kindness and unconditional love. 

As I looked out onto the hall and saw children, parents and grandparents, it brought a smile to my face and reminded all of us of the true sense of what it means to belong to the wonderful Catholic community called St Michael’s.

Sacrament of Penance

Our Year Two students have recently celebrated the Sacrament of Penance, an important milestone in their faith journey. The Sacrament of Penance, also known as the Sacrament of Reconciliation, is a beautiful and meaningful experience where our students have the opportunity to seek forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

Thank you to Father Ken and Miss Di Dimizio for their guidance and support throughout this journey.

Sacrament of First Holy Communion

This week and next, our students commenced their preparation for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. We continue to pray for these students and their parents. We pray that they will grow in goodness and faith as they come to know Jesus more.

Remembrance Day Prayer Service

On Monday, we gathered in reflection for our Remembrance Day Prayer Service. This special occasion provided us with a meaningful opportunity to honour and remember the sacrifices made by those who have served our nation with unwavering dedication. Thank you Year Six for sharing this meaningful reflection.
