“I’ve had the best day!” exclaimed one excited ‘100 year old’ St Michael’s kindy student at 3:10pm on Friday 21 August. And he was not alone - one look at the happy kindy faces said it all!
Our kindy teachers were determined to celebrate this milestone with a memorable event, and what a memorable event it was: A day filled with learning fun!
Kindy teachers and students were almost unrecognisable as they walked, [Correction: ambled, limped, hobbled…!] to class. There the children were engaged in numeracy and literacy activities involving 100. Following recess, further creative and energetic activities involving 100. Mr Buckman lit the BBQ [out of the icy wind!] and cooked over 100 sausages. After lunch, the children participated in additional activities before being photographed in the shape of 100.
Who would believe that 100 could be so exciting?!

The St Michael's staff came together to hold their annual 'Biggest Morning Tea' as many of us know someone affected by cancer or have been affected personally. Supporting this great cause is making so much important work possible. Through funding life-saving research, prevention programs and support services, we're helping to make a real difference to people affected by cancer. That's a wonderful thing. Support this great cause so that one day we can live in a world that is cancer free 😊

AFL Congratulations to the Boys and Girls AFL teams who played in the Paul Kelly Cup last week 🤩🏈 With only 4 out of the 30 students with any playing experience it was fantastic to see the massive amount of growth and development in a very short space of time. Both teams won 3 out of their 4 pool games and finished 2nd in their pool managing to shake off the Mr Kovelis losing curse. The boys' team lost their semi final by a single point to the eventual winners of the competition Kellyville PS. They then went on to beat Kings Langley PS (who had beaten St Michael's earlier in the day) convincingly in the 3rd vs 4th playoff 👏 The girls team also played Kellyville PS in the semi finals but were able to come through with the win. In the final they played Schofield PS who they had played earlier in the day and won 4-1. In a tough physical game they really showed their dominance, running away with it in the end 29-1 🤩👏 Scarlett Barakat was named 'best on ground' for the final. Notable mention to Halle Fleming who found her favourite position at full forward with a bag full of goals in the second half and to the players who realised by their last game that the field they were playing on all day was Oval shaped ! The girls now progress to the Greaters Western Sydney Regional Final early next term 🥳🤩 Well done to both teams & good luck girls in the regional final. Thank you also to the parents who were able to help out with teams during the day. Maybe a few future AFL coaches in the mix.
