You are invited to bring your children before and after school or come and browse by yourself, before or after the bell on each of these days.
TUESDAY – THURSDAY lunch times: Students who have orders or money to purchase books, may visit the Book Fair for this purpose. Staff will be available to assist students at this time.
Special note: If you are unable to visit the fair, you are able to pre purchase online using your child’s wish list and recording the order number on the back of the list. Your child can bring the wish list with the record of the order number to the fair and collect the item(s). If the prepaid items are sold out they will be ordered and delivered within two weeks of the closing of the fair.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Fair!

Hi Everyone,
The BLC students are very excited to share their UOI work with you at Showcase tomorrow night. Please remember we are up in the JP area outside our classrooms.
In preparation for concert next term, we have begun practicing our songs and organising our costumes. The students were also given an opportunity to express their interest in having an individual speaking part. If your child opted for this, then their lines will be coming home soon in their communication book to practice at home. When your child is practicing their line can you please encourage them to remember it off by heart and say it clearly with expression.
If you have not sent in your child’s costume we will need them by the end of this week.
Saturday 23rd June
On Saturday night the P&F are holding a movie night and will be screening Despicable Me 3.

The money raised from the Talent Show goes towards ALWS and will support students in third world countries to access schooling.
BLC Showcase
The BLC students have been enjoying inquiring into visual arts and are busy preparing to showcase their learning on Thursday 21st June. Our Showcase will be held up in our classrooms and in the Junior Primary area outside our rooms. Our community showcase replaces the Student Led Conferences of previous years, and focuses on our current unit of inquiry, rather than a variety of curriculum areas. The showcase sessions start at 4 p.m. and each session will go for half an hour. The time slots will be:
4:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
4:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
5:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
You should have already received an email explaining how to book a time that suits you best. If you have not received this email, or you need help booking a time; please see Lee-Anne in the Front Office.
Please note, that you the online bookings will be available from Friday 8th June.
Please note that the Junior Learning Community Showcase is on the same night. If you have a child in JLC, you will need to book this separately using the links the JLC teachers have provided for you. Thank you.
Concert Costumes
If you haven’t already done so, can you please bring in your child’s costume.
School Uniform
Winter is here and so all students should now be wearing winter uniform. As a reminder, boys should now be wearing long pants only with their formal uniform, and girls their full winter uniform with the option of long pants. On Sport Uniform days, students have the choice of wearing shorts or school track pants.
Scarves may be worn but must be navy or white in colour and all jackets must be school navy only. A St Michael’s logo jacket is available for purchase from the Uniform Shop.
Please refer to the Uniform Policy on the school website for further details.
Hi everyone,
This week the BLC students will be exploring capacity in Mathematics as well as inquiring into ‘recycled art’ during our UOI time. To support the students in these activities we would love it if you could bring in any plastic containers or bottles to school. It would be appreciated if they were at school by Thursday.
Thanks for your help!
