Principal's Message

Dear Parents & Friends,

On behalf of Father Robert and all my colleagues at St Michael’s, I wish you a warm welcome to our school community.

The ministry of education is one that is shared between parents, teachers and the wider community. At St Michael’s our aim is to support you in nurturing and promoting the growth of your child. We aim to live out our vision of being a Catholic community which Reflects, Engages and Empowers. At St Michael’s we reflect the life and mission of Jesus promoting a vibrant spiritual life through learning, prayer and liturgy.

As members of a vibrant school community your role will be an active one. Historically, Catholic education has been founded upon principles of parent contribution and voluntary service. Our school will only continue to grow through your support of school initiatives, social events and the financial contribution through fees and fundraising.

At St Michael’s we strive to live out the Charism of Nano Nagle and the Presentation Sisters. We accept with pride and diligence our responsibility to support the poor and marginalised.

We strive to engage each child in their own learning, creating an environment in which teaching and learning is purposeful, relevant, innovative and collaborative. It is important for me to confirm that at St Michael’s we will always hold the highest expectation for children in attaining their academic personal best.

Our school motto is ‘Love One Another’ and it is in this spirit of love, friendship and cooperation that we look forward to supporting you in the education of your child.

John Laffan
