What a wonderful night celebrating Christmas together in Launceston we had last Friday! The room was filled with laughter, music and festive spirit, and it was so special to see everyone enjoying the evening.

A heartfelt thank you to Emma and her Disability Team for leading the planning, plus Health and the Assets Team setting up, Kerryn who MC'd brilliantly, and to all staff who helped make the night run so smoothly. Your planning, care and hard work behind the scenes made a real difference and created such a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of our local community, especially the New Horizons Choir, whose beautiful performances added something truly special to the evening to kick things off.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed — it was a fantastic way to come together and share the joy of the Christmas season- we'll have more in our next newsletter!

What an incredible day we had celebrating International Day of People with Disability last Friday in Launceston! The energy, smiles and sense of community (and the weather!) made it a standout from start to finish.

Everyone enjoyed a fantastic footy clinic with a huge thanks to AFL Tasmania, followed by a delicious BBQ lunch — with a big thank you to Emma and Waqas for leading the cooking, and to the staff and participants who prepared the salads. The afternoon flowed into a creative burst of colour with art and craft activities, finishing with a wonderful exhibition showcasing everyone’s work.

A heartfelt thank you once again to AFL Tas, all staff who supported the day, and to our Day Program and Disability Team Leaders for the coordination behind the scenes. Events like this happen because of your commitment and care. Great job and thanks to all for attending!

Hannah spent the day recently exploring the museum, taking in new sights and attractions, and discovering things that sparked her curiosity. She’s always on the go and eager to learn, making the most of every opportunity to experience something new.

Outings like this support Hannah’s goals of building independence, learning new skills and staying connected with her community.

Love to see it Hannah! Keep embracing new experiences and enjoying everything your community has to offer.

VALE
Pam Merrington

It is with a very heavy heart that we mark the passing of Pam Merrington, a cherished member of the St Michael’s community, and a woman whose life was defined by care, leadership and devotion to others.

Pam began her association with St Michael’s Special School in the late 1970s firstly as a teacher, bringing warmth, compassion, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every student with a disability. Her dedication and natural leadership skills saw her appointed as Principal, a role she served in with distinction until her retirement in 1997.

Under Pam’s stewardship, the school flourished — not just in its programs and facilities, but in the strength of its community spirit. She nurtured a culture of inclusion, kindness, and high expectations that continues to shape the St Michael’s of today.

Following her retirement, Pam remained deeply connected to St Michael’s and its mission. Her tireless efforts as a fundraiser and her ongoing advocacy earned her Life Membership of the St Michael’s Association alongside her husband and life-partner David. A fitting tribute to her lifelong service and devotion.

Pam’s passing comes just three months after her beloved husband, David, with whom she shared a life of partnership, generosity, and quiet strength. Together, they were pillars of the St Michael’s family, offering their time, energy, and hearts to the school community for decades.

Pam’s compassion, dedication and warmth will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Merrington family on this sad passing.

🌱 With the warmer weather returning, Lyn has been busy getting her garden flourishing again! Her raised garden bed is full of life, with strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, bok choy, chives, corn, and celery all taking root. It’s wonderful to see her enthusiasm and pride as she spends time outdoors, caring for her plants and watching them grow. 🌞
