Term 3 2025
(More information under Events)
Berties on the Go Coffee Truck will be at school every Wednesday morning this term, ready to serve coffee, tea or hot chocolate from 07.00.
They will also serve every Wednesday from 13.00 until the end of the netball matches at 16.00.
Please support them as much as possible. They will also be at our events during the 3rd and 4th terms – Showcase mornings, Music Evening, Production Evenings and the Market next term.
Earlier this year, Woolworths announced the merger of the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet programme with WRewards, creating a new app-based loyalty programme – Woolworths MyDifference.
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ The updated Woolworths app is now available, but MyDifference is being rolled out gradually.
✅ From July–October 2025, Woolworths will continue to support Causes like Micklefield by maintaining monthly payments based on July–October 2024 income, with an average growth percentage applied. Customer selections will officially take effect in November 2025, meaning changes to payments will only be seen from December onwards.
✅ Cause reselection window
Once MyDifference officially launches, customers will have a three-month window (until the end of October) to select their preferred Cause. This ensures intentional and meaningful support going forward.
✅ You can still swipe your existing MySchool card during this transition period, but we encourage you to prepare to reapply on the Woolworths app once the programme fully launches.
Thank you for your continued support and together, we’ll ensure Micklefield continues to benefit from this wonderful initiative.
‘A huge thank you to regular contributions from Friends , Families and Learners of Micklefield. Perfect for this cold weather. Please note that I will be accepting last contributions on Tuesday, 5 August, for the year. Just want to say another thank you to you all who have. Without you, none of this would have been possible.’
After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone the Micklefield Auction to Term 2 of 2026. This term is already filled with many exciting events, and with the Market taking place in Term 4, we are mindful of the demands on our parents’ time and resources.
By moving the Auction to next year, we’ll have the opportunity to plan it thoroughly, secure wonderful items, and ensure it’s a truly enjoyable and successful event for our community.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to bringing you an unforgettable Auction in 2026.
We’re thrilled to share the vision for Micklefield’s future.
The plans for Mickayla House, our vibrant new pre-primary facility, and the Micklefield Aquatics Centre are now on display at the school for everyone to view.
Mickayla House will transform a charming Victorian home on Lea Road into a nurturing early childhood space for Grades 000, 00 and 0. It will feature playful classrooms, a baking kitchen, indoor and outdoor learning areas, a sensory-rich garden with a storytelling nook, and innovative spaces that inspire curiosity and creativity.
Adjacent to this, the new Aquatics Centre will include a 20m indoor swimming pool, change rooms, and spectator seating, serving both the pre-primary and primary schools. It will also open up opportunities for community swimming programmes after hours.
Come and take a closer look at the display. We would love you to see what we are fundraising for.
The updated 2025 sport and extra-mural programme is available on the Ed-Admin Multi Portal App, under Documentation. Please check both the Term 1 and 4 (Summer) and the Term 2 and 3 (Winter) schedules when doing your planning for the new year. All information with regards to the private extra-murals on offer is available on the Ed-Admin Multi Portal App under Documentation, Sport/Extra-Murals.
