From the St Michael's Catholic Academy
I think that the goal founded on unambiguous, shared ideals that motivates all we accomplish as a team makes up the essence of our Academy.
There can be no better cause than the arduous task of elevating standards for every student we serve, and we are steadfastly devoted to it. * The clarity of a Christ-centered vision rooted in our Catholic faith that motivates us to help our students develop their God-given talents and create a culture of service and compassion, modelled and lived by leadership of all members of our community, communicating our values of truth, justice, love, gentleness, and forgiveness, thereby transforming our students' lives through a meaningful relationship with Christ;
Creating a progressive "Students first" Catholic academy with a strong belief in restorative justice, where each student belongs, is valued uniquely, and achieves their very best; * A vibrant and compassionate chaplaincy at the centre of the Academy. "My hope is that we will all truly feel like we are a part of a caring community where the futures of all are bright.
