St Michael’s College is a Catholic school in the Lasallian tradition which is committed to the human and Christian education of the young, especially the poor. The vision of St Michael’s College can be described as a story about Community, Challenge, Choice.
Community
We are an inclusive and respectful community where each individual is known, valued and cared for, enabling them to feel confident to explore their curiosities, flourish and fully realise their potential.
Challenge
Individual growth is achieved through engagement, opportunity and recognition, underpinned by a positive learning culture that is authentic, challenging and supportive.
Choice
Through a quality Lasallian education, inspired by the Gospel and a concern for social justice, students will be empowered to better choose who they become as people, learners and leaders in the world.
A quality Lasallian education “is realised by offering a community and personalised environment where each individual flourishes as human beings and where they are open to hope and have a positive sense of life.” (Br Alvaro)
