Previous news and information

This page will specifically be used for previous information that has been printed in our newsletter and will act as a "REMINDER page" for you to check what is still in date but perviously published. I hope this can be helpful for you! ~ Annie

St Michael's Front Door

As noted, we remind parents that from now on we will keep the front door to the office locked throughout the day, as was the intention of it's design. The reason for this is to increase the security measures for our staff and students, especially given we face busy High Street. We understand the frustration of having to wait for the door to be opened, and we endeavour to open it as soon as possible, but we feel this is the right choice for all of our safety. Thank you for your understanding.

2024 School Fees and Levies

We wish to thank families who have recently paid their school fees and who continue their payment plans. If you are struggling to pay it off in large amounts, please remember we can make arrangements for you to pay in smaller instalments that can work for you. If you wish to arrange a payment plan, please contact Kathy Muhllechner in the school office or via email kathym@smashburton.catholic.edu.au

St Michael's School Library

Just a reminder that our school library is open for parents to come in on Mondays, 3.15-3.30pm. If you wish to select some reading material with your child or even just see what your child is reading, feel free to visit Kate Borg in there on Mondays. Next week is BOOK WEEK, a perfect time to come to the library with your child!

Uniform

Just a reminder that our new uniform policy allows for children to have the option to wear either their school or sports uniform on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays each week. Naturally they will need sports uniform on their PE day.

Psychology Services

As mentioned in previous newsletters, St Michael's School has partnered with Advanced Psychology to provide assessment and counselling services for families in our community. We ask that if you are interested in any services that are provided by a qualified psychologist, that you please make contact with Advanced Psychology, using the booking procedures below. You may call to get advice about the services and ask questions as well. Please note that your communication and any services undertaken are completely confidential. St Michael's School simply provides the site for these services to take place.
