End of Year Concert and Awards Evening
The annual Christmas Concert and Awards Night will be held at the school on Monday 9th December commencing at 6.00pm with the formalities first and the performance to begin around 6:30pm. Kindy and pre-primary parents are invited to collect their children after their performances to take home or sit with families for the remainder of the performances. Miss Pin and Mrs Welch will provide more information closer to the concert.
Once again, parents are asked to bring fold-up chairs or cushions to sit on. Seating will be provided for the invited guests only.
This year all the children will be participating in a mini-musical, Little Red Riding Hood. Each class will participate in a segment of the musical and class costume requirements are listed below. There is absolutely no need for parents to go to any expense in getting the children dressed up for the evening. The idea is to keep it as simple or creative as you like. There are no hard and fast rules with the costumes. Should you have any queries about requirements please come and see Mrs Panizza or your class teacher.

St Michael’s Circuit Breakers Stars
Last Friday, some students from Year 4 and Year 6 attended Western Power’s Circuit Breakers Science Fair event hosted at SciTech as the culminating showcase for their work this semester in STEM subjects. Mr Caddy, Mr Coughlan and Miss Riolo supported the students to develop their own innovative solutions using Micro:bit pocket-sized LED computer technology. Congratulations to all participants and a big thank you to the teachers who got involved guiding students towards their successful Digital Technology projects.
Parent Feedback on Seesaw
This semester the K-3 classes adopted Seesaw for use with Student Learning Portfolios and to enhance parent communication. We have had a wonderful uptake with almost 100% of K-3 parents signing up and embracing this digital means of communicating student learning. To support our ongoing review of the success of Seesaw we would like to invite parents to provide any comments, suggestions or feedback about the impact of this tool. Please take a moment to answer the question; How have you found the implementation of Seesaw at St Michael’s in 2019?

Wanted: Book Covering Volunteers
Recently we have been fortunate enough to purchase a number of take-home levelled readers to boost our resources in the Junior Primary classrooms. In order to get these books ready for use by students, we are looking for volunteers who may be able to take a few home to cover with contact. If you are able to assist with this, please let Mrs Jemima Saunders or the front office know. Your young readers thank you!
