Mission

The mission of St Michael’s School is to provide children with a thorough Catholic formation and education, founded upon the traditional doctrines of the Catholic Faith and upon the traditional principles of education.

The concept of Catholic education is summarized by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical on Christian Education: “Since education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must be and for what he must do here below, in order to attain the sublime end for which he was created, it is clear that there can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man’s last end, and that in the present order of Providence, since God has revealed Himself to us in the Person of His Only Begotten Son, who alone is “the way, the truth and the life,” there can be no ideally perfect education which is not Christian education.” (Encyclical Divini Illius Magistri)

An organised mind, an understanding of duty and strength of will form the best soil in which the seed of eternal life, Divine Grace, is able to take root and develop.
