Learning
Holistic education that prepares students for the future
Our educational program engages students from Early Learning to Year 12 intellectually, physically and socially. Our holistic focus begins in the early years, where the Reggio Emilia Educational Project’s principles of inquiry and exploration inspire thinking, collaboration and challenge.
This continues throughout Kindergarten to Year 12, with a strong focus on combining academic studies with exceptional wellbeing programs and Co-Curricular opportunities.
I think St Michael’s has helped me become a more outgoing person who is more willing to take things on. I’ve learnt to juggle many activities in my schedule, and to feel comfortable speaking in front of large groups of people, a skill that I am sure will be useful throughout my life. I think most importantly, my education at St Michael’s has taught me the importance of balance, encouraging both academic and extra-curricular endeavours. I feel that I am now a well-rounded individual, largely thanks to my time at the School.
