Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope the beginning of the 2025 school year has been enjoyable for you and your children. It has been wonderful to reconnect with both students and parents in the opening weeks of this term. There is certainly a positive energy within our school community and our students have been nothing short of amazing in the opening weeks. Please see below a snapshot of some of our students' experiences returning to St Michael’s in 2025. 

A special welcome to the following families who have joined our beautiful school community in 2025:

• Lin family
• Trimboli family

• Charlesworth-Orr family
• Forte family
• Garsia family
• Gillett family

In the opening days of school I had the opportunity to share my vision for staff and students. Below is an overview of my vision for our students shared with staff aligned to our school vision statement. 

Inspired by Christ

• Knowing that they are made in the image of god and have unique gifts to share

• Be kind, Caring, selfless and compassionate humans

• Develop personal connections to Christ and are active models of their beliefs 

Aspire to excellence in learning

• Develop curiosity and a lifelong love of learning

• Can articulate  and are proud of their progress/growth in learning

• Not afraid to take risks or make mistakes. Learn from experiences and show persistence and resilience. 

Living fully in community

• Identify, implement and articulate how they support our shared mission

• Deepen understanding and skills to support their wellbeing and wellbeing of others

• Build the relational skills and values to promote positive relationships with all

A constant quest to be the best version of yourself

Staffing update

At St Michaels’, we are continuing to build our staffing model to ensure we have the resources to adequately support all student learning and wellbeing needs across the school. In 2025, we have already employed three additional learning and wellbeing support teachers to provide tailored learning experiences for identified students. I am pleased to announce that we have been supported by the Diocese with additional funding to employ an additional teacher that will join our growing diverse learning team. I would like to welcome Mrs Aimee Griggs to our wonderful school community. Aimee brings a wealth of experience and will be a welcome addition to our school community. Aimee will predominantly support targeted learning and wellbeing needs in Years 1-3 and work on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays. 

P&F AGM and GM

On Monday 10 March we will be holding our Annual General Meeting and General Meeting. As a part of this meeting we will be electing our P&F team for 2025. The P&F plays a critical role in supporting us in building a connected school community and ensuring our additional funding is targeted to the needs present within the school. There are some exciting plans in the pipeline that were shared with the parent community in the term 4 meeting. We look forward to seeing many parents join us for this initial meeting.
