Dear St Michael’s College Community,

The theme of our De La Salle Day celebration this week was ‘Multiculturalism’. It has been a few years since we have been able to enjoy having the whole school together and we welcomed the Primary staff and students to the secondary campus. In the spirit of St John Baptist De La Salle the secondary students were terrific Big Brothers and Sisters to our primary students.

On this special day in our calendar, we remember the important role that St John Baptist de La Salle played in establishing the De La Salle Brothers and his influence on the worldwide Lasallian community. A community that has been present in many nations around the world for over 300 hundred years.

We welcomed Br John Pill, a former St Michael’s College Principal, back to the College this week and he celebrated this important day with us. Br John spent much of the week talking with staff about the importance of Community in Lasallian schools.

The day began with a liturgy where we reflected on the multicultural nature of our school community and how we ensure all students and staff are made to feel welcome and included.

Kind regards,

 Mr Damian Patton

Acting Principal
