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!

From exploring the roots of the genre to making their own beats, students learned how to create low, mid and high instrumental sounds using only their mouths. 🧠👄🎧 Using sound cards and their creativity, they built layered beatboxing patterns and brought them to life in group performances. This video features one of the standout acts – prepare to be impressed! 🎬🔥 #CreativeClassrooms #Year6Vibes #BeatboxingBrilliance #HipHopInTheClassroom #MusicMagic #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills

🏃♂️✨ A Champion Effort! ✨🏃♂️ Harrison did our school proud as he represented Parramatta at the Regional Athletics Carnival! With his former running guide and mate, Harry (who returned for the event this year despite now attending high school), by his side once again, the duo took to the track like pros 💪 Despite changes in his vision and a new classification this year, Harrison’s determination never wavered. With the track mapped out in his mind and confidence in his stride, he sprinted his way to an incredible 2nd place finish 🥈 Next stop… PSSA! ❤️ We are so proud of Harrison—his resilience, grit and glowing smile inspire us all 🌟👏 #ParramattaPride #PSSAHereWeCome #ChampionSpirit #InclusionMatters #NeverGiveUp #ResilientRunner #SchoolPride #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills

💥 A force to be reckoned with! 💥 This term, Year 5 has been studying the Science topic “Forces” 🧲🔬 Over the past few weeks, students have researched and investigated a variety of forces in preparation for a thrilling challenge 💡⚙️ The big question was: “How can we make forces weaker or stronger to accurately land a ping pong ball into a container from a distance of 3 metres using a catapult?” 🏗️🏓 Using only pop sticks, elastic bands and a spoon, students worked collaboratively to design and build their own catapults. Some serious designing, experimenting and adjusting took place before the final models were revealed 🔧📐🧠 At the moment of truth, each group had 3 attempts to test their design. While no group managed a direct hit, a few came incredibly close — and everyone had a blast along the way! 🙌🎯 Lots of fun and lots of learning 💫📚 #Year5Science #HandsOnLearning #ForcesInAction #STEMchallenge #LearningIsFun #FutureEngineers #CatapultChallenge #PrimaryScience #CreativeKids #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills
