Principal’s Welcome

Annie Herbison – Principal

Working in partnership towards the best development of your child

Welcome To St Michael’s Parish School

A warm welcome is extended to all children, their parents, families and friends to the St Michael’s school community. We acknowledge that parents are the children’s primary educators and consider ourselves privileged to work in this partnership.

We pride ourselves in providing quality education which nurtures each child’s spiritual and educational growth within a supportive and enriching environment. At St Michael’s, we place great emphasis on being the ‘face of Jesus’ to all we meet.

We accept that it is our responsibility to provide a balanced curriculum that is relevant to each child and will enable them to learn the skills and knowledge that are required for our contemporary world; caring, creative global citizens. Our explicit teaching approach gives the opportunity for all students’ learning to be extended.

St Michael’s is a welcoming community of hope where young people have the opportunity to develop their full and individual potential.

Fr Darien, the staff and I anticipate that all who become associated with St Michael’s will find it a secure, happy and exciting place to be.

I look forward to sharing your child’s educational journey with you. I look forward to seeing you here at St Michael’s soon!
