About our school
St Michael’s School is a Catholic Parish Primary School of the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
St Michael’s School is situated at 268 High Street, Ashburton, one kilometre west of Warrigal Road, and in close proximity to the main Ashburton shopping centre and both the Alamein and Ashburton railway stations. The student intake areas comprise parts of Glen Iris, Burwood, Solway, Alamein, Ashburton and Ashwood. These suburbs are predominantly residential areas.
St Michael’s School is established and maintained specifically to serve St Michael’s Parish faith community and is an integral part of the St Michael’s Parish community. We positively and actively recognise the strength of our vibrant community and are enriched by the partnerships between staff, parents, students and parish. We firmly believe that Catholic school communities like ours – teachers, staff, parents – are most effective when the community works together to educate the whole child emotionally, academically, socially and spiritually.
Principal's Message
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!
Mrs Annie Herbison – Principal
