Term 3 2025
(More information under Events)
Please note that our Class, Absentee, Sibling, and Big Girl–Little Girl photos will now be taken on Wednesday, 15 October (the first week back in Term 4).
We kindly ask parents to save the date and ensure the girls are looking smart in their uniforms on the day. Further details will be shared closer to the time.
The excitement is building — our production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now less than a month away.
With the final stretch approaching, it is essential that all girls attend the Saturday rehearsals so that they are fully prepared for the show.
If, for a valid reason, your daughter is unable to attend a Saturday rehearsal, please ensure that you provide the reason in writing to both the Director, Debora G, and the Headmistress, Audrey Gray.
Please note: if main cast members are absent from Saturday rehearsals without a valid written excuse from their parents, the school may be forced to replace them, as this impacts the entire cast and production.
We can’t wait to see the magic come alive on stage — thank you for supporting your daughters as they prepare for this unforgettable production.

We are thrilled to launch our very first Spring Reading Bingo Challenge at Micklefield. This fun initiative is designed to spark a love of reading while raising funds for our much-anticipated new swimming pool.
On Spring Day Monday (1 September), each girl will receive a Reading Bingo sheet filled with exciting book-related activities — such as reading outdoors, reading a red book, or reading a joke book. Each completed challenge can be signed off by a parent, class teacher, or specialist teacher, and girls may complete as many sheets as they like.
📚 How it works:
To keep things fair and fun, prizes will be awarded across four age categories:
Grades 00–1
Grades 2 & 3
Grades 4 & 5
Grades 6 & 7
The challenge runs from 1 – 14 September, with the lucky draw happening on the last day of Term 3.
Let’s get reading and make this an exciting and meaningful adventure for our girls.
The Grade 0s are asking all families to donate gently used books – for all ages – to the secondhand book stall.
To make it extra fun, we’re turning it into a House Competition.
Will it be the Robins, Kingfishers, or Swallows who come out on top?
You can donate books by dropping them off at the back of the hall, in your house box.
Start clearing those shelves and let’s see which house can build the biggest book mountain! 📖💪
The Grade 3s are gearing up for their Bric-a-Brac Stall, and we’re calling on all families to help fill the tables.
We’re collecting good-quality, pre-loved treasures — think:
Drop your donations off in the foyer of the hall, and help us turn clutter into cash for a good cause.
The Grade 6s are preparing for the ever-popular Lucky Draw at the Micklefield Market, and we’re looking for fabulous prizes to make it our best one yet.
Prizes can be big or small — from vouchers, hampers, and beauty products to wine, homeware, or fun family experiences. Every donation helps make the draw exciting and supports our school.
If you or your business can contribute, please fill in the donations Google Form below.
Let’s make this a Lucky Draw to remember!
