St Michael’s has eternal been a caring and innovative school, from housing a lost dogs’ shelter in the 1890s to building some of the first specialist school science laboratories in the 1930s. The School grew steadily from its bottom until the end of the Second World War boys had been admitted in Preparatory since 1962, and up to Grade 4 in 1976. Yet while the School has grown beyond what the Sisters could have imagined, we proudly keep their values of dignity, respect, care and compassion.
