Dear Parents, Guardian and Carers,
As Term three draws to an end we would like to wish you all a safe and happy school break and welcome you back on Monday 7th October to begin a super busy term four.
In Term four, the students are expected to wear their summer uniform, however there will be a two week transition where they can continue to wear their winter uniform. This is to allow families some time to make the change into the summer uniform and get updated clothing items as the children may have outgrown them since wearing them in term one. Please remember that St Michael’s is a Sun Smart school and all students and staff are required to wear a hat outside during Term four.
This year our school concert will be held on Tuesday 19th November at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre. We have engaged a company to manage the concert, with rehearsals beginning in week one. This decision was made due to a number of factors and we look forward to working with Stomp Dance Co. and creating an amazing show for you all. More information will be sent to all families in early term four.

Sunday’s gospel passage forms a crucial turning point in the Gospel of Mark. From this point of the gospel onwards we take a greater focus on what it means to be a disciple and look deeper at the movement of Jesus towards Jerusalem. When Peter answers Jesus’ question he demonstrates the disciples’ dawning awareness of Jesus’ true identity. It is the first occasion that the disciples are called to own what they think about Jesus. Peter professes his faith in Jesus as the Messiah. However, when Jesus begins to spell out what being the Messiah reality means – persecution and death – Peter tries to convince Jesus that he doesn’t need to go down that path.
What does it look like to follow Jesus in 2024? What are the ‘crosses’ that followers of Jesus today are called to take up?
What a fabulous start we have had with the Colouring Competition and Guess the Lollies in the jar! The children are doing a fabulous job guessing the number of lollies in the jar. These fundraisers will continue next term. These fundraisers are 50 cents for each entry.
In preparation for our Mission Day next term we are in need of odd socks.We would appreciate it if you can please start collecting these for us.
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 on Friday.
In Week 10 the School Wide Expectation focus is Resilience:
I view mistakes as a learning opportunity.
I persist through challenges and difficulties in my learning.
