Located on one site, our Kindergarten to Year 12 structure provides flexibility for the design of enriching learning experiences. The formal and informal contact and interaction between junior and senior students fosters peer-to-peer relationships, and students across all ages find meaningful opportunities to collaborate.
We take a holistic approach to education, and we know that wellbeing and academic performance are inextricably linked. We offer challenge by choice and believe there's something for everyone at St Michael's. From music to sports, languages to arts, children are encouraged to explore their interests and develop their skills.Nicole Armatas Head of Junior School and Deputy Head of the School
On average, our top-performing Year 12 students began their schooling journey with St Michael’s in our Early Leaning Centre or in St Michael’s Junior School. Our curriculum for the primary years is designed to develop our students and foster a strong sense of identity, along with a commitment to the Reggio Emilia Educational Project. Our educators observe, listen, and research alongside the children, encouraging them to wonder and pose questions. This approach provides numerous opportunities for critical, analytical, creative, and reflective thinking.
St Michael’s Grammar School Early Learning Centre (ELC), located in Margaret Thomas House is an integral part of the School. The 3YO Kindergarten and Pre-Prep programs are the beginning of a continuous learning journey, taking a child through to Year 12.

Our students’ time in the Junior School provides a strong foundation for a love of learning and a capacity to develop new skills that will prepare them for every stage of their education and life beyond School.
As children embark on their educational journey in Prep, we nurture their sense of identity.
Our lower primary years focus on the fundamentals of Literacy and Numeracy. Our students become skilled researchers, confident mathematicians, and successful communicators. We offer sequential, evidence-based Signature Programs that cater to our learners’ developmental stages. Our goal is to foster wellbeing and effective collaboration.
In the middle primary years, we apply these skills to a broader context – our local community. Our Signature Programs empower children to tackle complex problems and apply critical thinking.
Our Year 3 students collaborate with experts from Earthcare and Parks Victoria, researching the St Kilda Little Penguins. In Year 4, students participate in the Tomorrow’s Leaders for Sustainability Program, in partnership with the St Kilda Botanical Gardens Eco Centre.
In Years 5 and 6, our Entrepreneurship and Leadership Programs nurture character qualities that help students navigate complex environments. They investigate local and global challenges, extending their Service Leadership skills.
