Vision and Values

Our values live in the School community informing and shaping our decisions, actions and behavioural expectations. Inspired by the Anglican community of the Sisters of the Church who founded the School over 125 years ago, all members of our community are expected to embody these principles that make St Michael’s one of the most respected private schools in Melbourne.

Our Values

Dignity

We celebrate each student’s strengths and talents, encouraging them to reach their potential while communicating respectfully and protecting the privacy of others.

Respect

Students are taught to act with courtesy and integrity, care for each other’s property and the environment, and build trust through honest, responsible actions.

Care

We foster empathy and understanding, encouraging students to support and uplift each other and cultivate meaningful relationships.

Compassion

Students learn to appreciate individual circumstances, honour the efforts of others, and take positive actions that make a real difference in the community.

Strategic Direction Towards 2030

We use From, With, and For as guiding principles to create an ecosystem that nourishes, sustains, and grows every learner at St Michael’s.

From

From our passionate community of teachers, students, and staff, learners develop deep knowledge across disciplines, curiosity to understand the world, and the confidence to explore ideas with courage and generosity. Our relationships are grounded in care, respect, and appreciation for each individual’s talents.

With

With engaging programs, experiential learning, and collaborative opportunities, students co-design their learning, benefit from signature programs at every year level, and connect with local, national, and global communities. Our modern facilities and exceptional teaching staff spark curiosity, wellbeing, and a love of learning.

For

For the future, St Michael’s students leave equipped to make a positive difference, confident, creative, and capable, with the skills, ethical frameworks, and global perspective to lead meaningful lives and contribute to a better world.
