Dear Whanau!

Mabuhay!

On Friday, 12th June, St. Michael’s will be celebrating Philippine Independence Day! To mark this occasion, we have a variety of school-wide experiences planned throughout Week 8 during our post-lunch block (1:25 pm – 1:50 pm).

We are excited to set up a traditional "Sari-Sari Store" backdrop for the week! We invite all families to stop by before or after school to take photos.

How you can help: We are requesting donations of Filipino products (packaged snacks, iconic containers, or crafts) to add to our display. If you have items to share for the photo booth, please bring them to Room 2 and look for Mrs. Palaypay. If you are keen to bring food items to be shared during our celebration on the 12th June, please bring them to the hall before 1:25PM on 12th June. You may inform Mrs. Palaypay or Mrs. Ambrosio.

Please join us for our grand finale on June 12th in the MacKillop Hall from 1:25 pm to 1:50 pm. We would love to see you there as we celebrate through dance, food, and community!

Maraming salamat sa inyong patuloy na pagsuporta.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We are excited to remind families that BookHive for Under 5 begins tomorrow! 

After morning drop-off, younger siblings and their parents or caregivers are warmly invited to join us in the library for a shared storytime and the chance to borrow two books to enjoy at home together. 

This special fortnightly programme is all about nurturing a love of reading, building family connections through stories, and helping our youngest readers feel part of our library community.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our very first session!  

Kath Twomey (Librarian)
