‘Get Moving’ was the theme for St Michael’s annual ‘a-thon’ event held on Tuesday September 4 2018. This year we focussed on the healthy benefits of ‘getting moving’ and its influence on the learning and development of children.
Our school was registered for National Health & Physical Education Day which was on September 5.
Health & Physical Education (HPE) Day is a nationwide initiative that highlights the importance of HPE in the Australian Curriculum, and its influence on the learning and development of children.
Most children’s waking hours are spent sitting at school and at home, so it’s important to get them to be more active as part of everyday life.
The rain held off (nobody would have complained about rain!) and all planned grade activities were able to take place. The school was filled with the sounds of fun and frivolity as students and teachers engaged in energetic games. Everyone got moving!
Thank you to our families for your generous support of our ‘Move-a-thon’ day. A total of $15,948.95 has been raised so far to go towards the literacy and technology resources for teaching and learning.

Catholic Schools Week Celebration ππ Today we had the joy of welcoming our families into our school as part of our Catholic Schools Week celebrations. Our community gathered for a special liturgy, families visited classrooms, and we finished the morning with a picnic lunch together on the grounds πΏπ§Ί It was wonderful to see parents and carers sharing in the learning, prayer and community spirit that makes our school so special. Thank you to all the families who took the time to join us today. We are truly grateful for your presence and support π€π This yearβs theme, Belong to Something Greater, reminds us that Catholic education is about more than learning. It is about faith, connection and growing together as a community. Today was a beautiful example of that β¨βͺοΈπ #CatholicSchoolsWeek #BelongToSomethingGreater #CatholicEducation #SchoolCommunity #FaithInAction #Grateful #PrimarySchoolLife #SchoolLiturgy #Community #CatholicSchoolsNSW #SchoolLife #LearningTogether #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills #CSPD #CatholicSchool
