RU Ok? This question was brought to the attention of our St Michael’s school community during the week leading to Thursday 10 September. And who brought this to our attention? None other than our Year 6 Student Leaders.
Year 6 Student Leaders collaborated, planned and delivered meaningful points of awareness for all students and staff. Their programme of events began prior to RU Ok? Day. Firstly, student leaders wrote and shared prayers with the school community each morning. Secondly, every child in the school participated in creating a handprint banner to be hung at the school entrance on RU Ok? Day.
On RU Ok? Day, Student Leaders invited staff and students to wear a touch of yellow. As well, they placed yellow fabric on a bench on each playground. The purpose of the yellow benches was to encourage those without a friend to use the bench to meet friends. RU Ok? Day is about encouraging people to ask if they are OK and to make a connection with someone new. “No matter how big or small, everything can make a difference, and be meaningful”, said Lane. Zara added, “You can’t just look at someone’s face, you need to talk to them.” [Year 6 Student Leaders]
At the end of this day, the student leaders hoped that everyone would go home feeling like they belong and have someone to talk to. We want to get the message across that everyone has the right to feel OK.

DOUBLE FIRST PLACE! A huge congratulations to our two St Michael’s Dance Troupes, who competed at the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod last week and were both awarded first place in their sections. Our girls faced some very tough competition, but they rose to the occasion and performed at their absolute best. Their hard work, dedication and commitment certainly shone on stage, and these fantastic results were well deserved. We are incredibly proud of you all!01 Sep 2026

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

☯️ Throwing it back… 💚 A little Monday throwback to our relaxing T’ai Chi sessions! 🍃✨ Our students loved slowing things down, finding their focus and building balance, one gentle movement at a time. 🧘♀️💫 Sometimes the quietest moments create the biggest impact. #StMichaelsBaulkhamHills #Throwback #TaiChi #MindfulMoments #StudentWellbeing #PrimarySchoolLife #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #CatholicEducation #SchoolCommunity #GrowingTogether #BalanceBodyMind #SydneySchools
