St Michael’s Parish School, Ashburton
We’re shaping hearts and opening minds.
Education is about more than academics—it’s about shaping hearts, opening minds, and empowering students to build the world they want to live in. It’s about giving them the skills, inspiration, and support to leave the world better than they found it.
We invite you to explore our website, watch our videos, and visit Dear World, where our students share the moments that matter most. Their stories reflect the values, creativity, and impact that define our school. We know that after seeing their work and hearing their voices, you’ll feel inspired and reassured that the future is in good hands.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community soon.

Meet Our Teachers
It’s no real secret that the quality of a school is largely influenced by the quality of the staff. We are so fortunate to have a rich diversity of talent, experience, enthusiasm and energy and our teachers truly care. They care for your children and they want nothing more than the best for them. We also believe teaching children is NOT only done at school. We strive hard to build partnerships with you – our parents. It’s what makes us who we are.
