St Michael’s student Macie Parkinson, together with her partner, competed in Level 4 Acrobatics at the State Championships held at the Sydney Gymnastic Aquatic Centre [SGAC] in Rooty Hill on September 8-9.
They were awarded second place overall for women’s pair and went on to compete for NSW in the National Clubs Carnival in Queensland.
At this event, Macie and her partner competed against 23 other pairs. They won first for Balance and fourth for Dynamic which placed them first overall!
Macie loves being with her friends and learning new skills she couldn’t do before, especially facing her fears. “I was scared of falling from heights, but on Friday I fell and realised that the worst that could happen is hurt myself and just get up again.”
What is Macie’s dream? “To be a ‘base in acro’ and go to the Olympics!”
Congratulations Macie!

Principal… but make it ✨Student Chic✨ When the students were told to dress as their favourite teacher for World Teachers’ Day…our Principal said “Hold my hat!” 🤭🎒 Stepping out in full St Michael’s uniform - hat, sneakers and all, she showed once again that she is always ready to jump in, have a laugh and lead by example. 🌟 We truly have the best Principal ever! Someone who brings joy, energy and heart to our school community every single day. 📚✨ Thank you for making St Michael’s such a wonderful place to learn and grow! 💛 #WorldTeachersDay #BestPrincipalEver #StMichaelsPride #WeLoveOurTeachers #SchoolSpirit #PrimarySchoolFun #ThankATeacher #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills #CSPD #CatholicSchool

🧠 Playground Designers in the Making! 🌳✨ Our Year 2 students put their thinking caps on for an exciting STEM challenge, redesigning areas of our playground to boost student wellbeing! 💭💚 After identifying that the playground could use a little more fun, students brainstormed, planned, and built prototypes of their dream play spaces. From colourful creations to clever designs that encourage movement, imagination and joy, our budding engineers thought of it all! 🏗️🎡 It’s safe to say, the future of playground design looks bright with these innovators leading the way! 🌟 #STEMEducation #FutureDesigners #HandsOnLearning #StudentWellbeing #CreativeKids #InnovatorsInTheMaking #PrimarySchoolFun #LearningThroughPlay #Year2 #STEMChallenge #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills #CSPD #CatholicSchool

✨ A-thon Fun! ✨ What an incredible first half of our A-thon we’ve had today! 💚 Students spent the day rotating through exciting activities — creating their class crosses and shields, taking on the zing inflatable course, and laughing their way through an afternoon of teachers getting slimed and running around in inflatable costumes!🤣 Tomorrow we’ll continue the fun with our Spelling Bee 🐝 and conclude with a special Mass celebrating our patron saint, St Michael the Archangel. ✝️💙 There’s still plenty of time to donate! 💰 Families can continue to contribute until next Wednesday. Every $10 donated earns a ticket into the prize draw, with lots of great prizes to be won! 🎁🙌 Full post to come. In the meantime, enjoy the snapshot 😊📸 #StMichaels #ArmourOfStMichaelsChallenge #SchoolSpirit #FaithFunFriendship #Community #TeamStMichaels #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills #CSPD #CatholicSchool
