Mission Statement
As a Roman Catholic Academy, St. Michael’s is a community that seeks to live by the gospel taught by Jesus Christ and to learn from his example. In our experience of prayer, liturgy and pastoral care, we aim to value and respect all students and staff as unique individuals that all may grow and strive for excellence. Throughout our organisation, relationships and decisions, we aim
to promote forgiveness, encourage charity and build faith.
