Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
On Tuesday 11th June 2024 St Michael’s will be hosting a Resilience Project parent and carer information session. This session will give attendees a chance to see what The Resilience Project looks like at St Michael’s as well as discussing the benefits of the program for our students. We will also discuss the importance of practising The GEM principles at home and how this can promote well being in your family.
The session will run from 5-6pm in the school hall. Please sign in and enter via the hall door near the church. We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you.
Leanne Kamphuis - TRP Ambassador at St Michael’s.

The words from Sunday's gospel passage in which Jesus takes bread and wine and blesses them will be familiar. They are the words used at the consecration of the bread and wine during the Mass. The words and actions of Jesus at the Last Supper are regarded as instituting the celebration of the Eucharist. Jesus took an act that was familiar to the Passover meal and gave it a new meaning and a new significance for his followers. What had been a memory of escape from slavery in Egypt became an ongoing reminder of Christ’s continued presence in the Eucharist and in the Eucharistic community. In the busyness of life in 2024, it is important to reflect on how our priorities for faith and ‘church’ are different today. How can we still practise and share our faith? How do we show respect and reverence for the body and blood of Christ? How do we, as christians, share the message of good news?
Each week students from each class are awarded Student of the Week certificates. These children are nominated for the example they have been within the school based on the School Wide Expectation focus for that week. The weekly focus will be from Wednesday until Tuesday the following week. Awards will be presented to students in their classrooms.
In Week 8 the School Wide Expectation focus is Respect:
I treat my peers, teachers and learning environment with respect.
I show appreciation for the efforts of others.
I speak kindly to others.
I show justice and fairness to all.
I listen carefully to others.

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and St. Michael’s Primary School is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:
- access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
- a modern user-friendly interface
- rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
- the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review
The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 6 September 2024.
Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.
All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
To read the Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklist and for more information about the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, visit:
