Love is an Action Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” John 14:23
On my wedding day the pastor talked about the word love. Knowing that I was a teacher he decided to give us all a grammar lesson and spoke about the fact that adding ‘ing’ to the end of love made it an action. Now, his link to spelling was very loose but his message was quite clear, Love is more than something that you feel; it is something that you do.
When we look at this week’s bible verse, it quite clearly links love with actions. Jesus says, if you love me, you will obey what I say. He links our love with a change in us which will show in the way that we live. Jesus follows up to say that if we love him, God will love us and gather us to him. The actual bible verse uses the words ‘we will come to them’ which is an awesome thing to remember. Because what this verse is telling us is that God’s loving action is to come to us and gather us into his home. We don’t have to fight our way to God… be good enough… work hard enough… all that we have to do is love Jesus and God will do everything else that is needed for our salvation. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read:
God loves you – and there is nothing that you can do about it! That is how God is. He loves us and will do every action possible to bring us into his home. Terri Taylor Principal

New App for St Michael’s Soon you will receive information about how to sign up for our new school App. This App will take the place of Skoolbag and will link directly to our database, giving you access to the school calendar, your information and details, an absentee process, newsletters, blogs and eventually, your child’s reports, account information and documents. You will be informed when Skoolbag will no longer function. Please look out for your log in details and sign up for an easy way to stay connected to the school information.

Reconciliation The 27th May signifies the beginning of Reconciliation week here in Australia, this date is significant as the day in 1967 that Australian people voted ‘Yes’ agreeing that Indigenous Australians deserved equal rights. The week ends on 2nd June another significant date when the High Court ruled in favour for the first time recognising Indigenous people as the original custodians of this land.
This week is a time that we reflect on the journey that we have been on as a country. We look forward to improved relationships, understanding our past and present and unity into the future. At its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians. (1) During this coming week the students will learn more about why we use the Acknowledgement of Country at different times within our school life. They will have opportunities to reflect on and learn about reconciliation and what it means to them. This is not the only time that a focus has been put on reconciliation within our school environment. Our use of Restorative conversations when conflict and hurt happens, is a form of reconciliation. We also learn about the Australian History, the impact and the stories that have been told from both European perspective and the perspective of the First Australians. Throughout our Program of Inquiry the perspective and knowledge of First Australians is valued and discussed. If you would like further information about Reconciliation please use the below links. Have a wonderful week. https://www.reconciliation.org.au/what-is-reconciliation/ https://australianstogether.org.au/discover/indigenous-culture/understanding-welcome-to-country/ https://www.reconciliation.org.au/national-reconciliation-week/ https://australianstogether.org.au/nrw/ Evie Stevens PYP/Curriculum Coordinator

The Outdoor Learning Space – Progress report The Outdoor Learning Space has been progressing ‘behind the fence’ with debris removal, tree pruning, rock moving and earthworks. There is still a little cleaning up to do but we are getting very close to the ‘creation’ phase of the project. We hope to have a working bee in the next couple of months to get some of the manual work completed. P & F have committed to raising funds to support this project with fundraisers throughout the year. We aim to create a learning space with various defined areas for learning, most of which are ‘all weather’. The concept plan is below:

Changed Volunteer Requirements At St Michael’s we believe that volunteers make a significant contribution to the school community by giving of their time and sharing their God-given talents, skills and expertise with others. Volunteers may have a wide range of interests and abilities that complement and support school programs, thus providing a wider range of interactions and experiences for students. We greatly appreciate your willingness to help at St Michael’s, our students would not have the opportunities they have without you! Thank you so much. Our school policies, in relation to Child Protection, require ALL volunteers in our school to undergo a DHS/DCSI check, and from July 1, this becomes a State requirement for all people working with children and will replace all other Police Clearances. If you already have a DHS/DCSI screen, please forward a copy to Lee-Anne at [email protected]. If you have not undergone this screen or it has expired please email Lee-Anne at the above email address your Full Name, DOB & Email address. Once these details are entered you will receive an email to confirm your identity. All volunteers at St Michael’s must also complete the Responding to Abuse & Neglect – Education & Care (RAN-EC) training for Volunteers. Volunteers who work with children (under 18 years) are mandated notifiers. They must understand notification and reporting child abuse requirements. The RAN training is updated by DECD every few years with the most recent update in 2018 which expires in 2021. The Responding to Abuse & Neglect training can be accessed via the following link Responding to Abuse & Neglect training. Should you have any questions please contact Lee-Anne in the office or by email [email protected].
School Day Routines Parents are reminded that the school day begins at 8:50 am. The roll is marked by 8:50 am and if a child is not in class at that time they will be marked ‘unexplained absence’ which will be followed up with you. Students arriving after 8:50 am need to sign in via the front office. If your child is absent or will be late for any reason the school needs to be notified. You can use the following means of passing on this information: Leave a message on our answering
machine - this can be done at any hour and does not need to wait until 8:30 am.

St Michael’s Celebrates 180 Years of Education in
Hahndorf
Save the Date!
Saturday 9th November P & F will be hosting the celebration dinner and silent auction at the Hahndorf Resort. Details about tickets will be available later in the year but for now, we are looking for families who may be able to donate some goods or services to our silent auction. If you have a business and are able to donate something to the P & F, please contact the school. Funds raised will go toward finishing our new Outdoor Learning Space. Sunday 10th November we are planning a celebration worship service followed by a family day with lots of free fun and games for the children
Medication @ School If your child needs any medication (including paracetamol) during the day, parents/caregivers must supply the medication to the school office in the pharmacy labelled container or package. (Please note that if your child needs to take medication/antibiotics 3 times a day, we request you give it to them before school, straight after school finishes and at bed time) School staff are unable to dispense any medication to students without either an Action Plan / letter signed by a doctor or a signed ‘form to accompany medication’ available from the office. If your child does not come to the office to take their medication, we will endeavour to locate him/her but no responsibility is taken by staff for forgotten medication. If there is a need for long-term medication to be kept at school (ie. for anaphylaxis, asthma or allergies) the parent/caregiver should ensure that the medication is within its “use by” date and is clearly marked with the student’s name, and also it is accompanied by a current plan/letter from the doctor outlining the dose and frequency of the medication.
Extra Curricula Activities Band The Hahndorf Town Band is offering lessons each Monday evening (see flyer later in the newsletter) for students from 9 years of age. Children who participate in the Town Band’s program and who also participate in the school lessons will not need to pay instrument hire fees. Choir will be held on Monday afternoons this term and will be led by Mr Theo Prucha. Choir is open to all students. If your child enjoys singing, but does not want to join the formal choir, Mr Prucha will be offering a choir club on Wednesday lunchtime, to support those who are in the choir and want more singing practice and to encourage students who just enjoy singing informally. Clarinet, Flute, Saxaphone & Trumpet Lessons are available through Andrew Scott. It is not necessary for student to own an instrument as they can hire one from Andrew.
