2027 SCHOOL FEES AND LEVIES
On Monday this week, an nForma notice was sent to all families regarding the 2027 Fees and Levies schedule. As noted, the proposal has undergone the ratification process with our School Advisory Council and these are set in consultation with our school's Finance Business Partner and our regional Senior Manager from the office of the Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools (M.A.C.S.).
I recognise that this time of year can be challenging in so many ways for families, including financially and I thank you for your continued trust in St Michael’s School and for the many ways you contribute to our wonderful community. I am grateful for the partnership we share with families and remain committed to ensuring that our school is a place where every child feels a sense of belonging and has the opportunity to flourish.
CANCELLED ASSEMBLY
Please all note, the School Leaders' assembly on Friday 27th November has been cancelled, due to the number of events these students will be involved in around that time. Please remove this event from your family calendars. The Year 6 final assembly will proceed on Friday 11th December as planned. The End of Year mass will also be held on Friday 11th December at 10am, during which the Year 6 students will hand over the leadership reigns to our Year 5 students. Please note these dates in your diaries. Thank you
FINAL STUDENT DAY FOR 2026
Wednesday 16th December, 12 noon finish - We notify parents now that we will have an early finish on our final student day this year. Please note the date has not changed, only the finishing time. This will enable staff to gather in the afternoon of that day to hold their annual 'handover' to the following year's teachers; a process which can often take up to three hours to complete. We hope this does not cause too much inconvenience to families, especially with the early notification. TheirCare will also be notified of the early finish on this day. Thank you for your understanding.
