Last Friday I had the pleasure to listen to a group of grade five children who presented a speech to their teachers and peers about why they would be a suitable candidate to  be school captain. All the speeches showed a lot of thought and preparation had gone into them and they were of a very high standard. Whilst only some children can be chosen to this role there are other opportunities for student leadership at St Michael’s including House Captain, Environmental Team and Student Leadership committee and I encourage those who missed out a school captain role to consider nominating for one of these roles. 

I am pleased to say that the following students have been chosen to be the 2022 school captains:

• Adam Hurley
• Beth Wallace
• Grace Robinson
• Harry Wight
• Jakeb Domagala

Congratulations to them and I look forward to working with them next year.

I would also like to congratulate this year’s school and house captains on their work this year. Millie Bermingham, Aine Doherty, Nelson Archibald, Ruby Campbell, Mal Quail, Anna Linehan, Wil Hamilton, Matt McDonagh, Taite Crosby, Bella McIntosh, Eli Addison, Amily Smith, Aleksandra Poursanidis, Mia Hollands, Darby Murtagh, Hudson Anderson, Jonny Roscoe, Williow Whitwam, Violet Blackford and Hunter Bishoff. You have been outstanding representatives of St Michael’s this year.

Parents and Friends Update

The Parents and Friends group play an important role at this school with organising family events, fundraising and running things like the hot lunches. The past two years have proved difficult for this group with restrictions severely limiting what they were able to do however they have still managed to fundraise for additional playground equipment for the 3/4 playground. This is due to start construction next week and we (especially the grade 3/4 children!) thank them for their support. 

A number of existing committee members have begun full time work during this year and as such are unable to continue on this committee. We are looking for new people to join this group and help out. If you would like to be involved please fill in the form below:
