St Michael’s Collegiate is an Anglican day and boarding girls' school whose mission is to be a learning community that welcomes diversity in an educational environment that is shaped by Christian values. Our core values of creativity, resilience, excellence, ethical behaviour, meaning and connection, and diversity are framed by our commitment to our Christian ethos. While our emphasis is academic in nature, this is complemented by strong programs in Outdoor Education, a full range of sports, a School of Performing Arts, a Student International Exchange Program, Service Learning, programs for extension, differentiation and gifted education through our EDGE program, and Pathway Planning. Students are offered a rich diversity of experiences as varied as doing community work in the Solomon Islands, acting in the School play, playing in the orchestra, bicycling from coast to coast or interacting with other learning communities world-wide via the web. We actively promote ties with other schools overseas through exchange programs throughout Europe, America, Asia and New Zealand. Within this environment we encourage girls to learn more about themselves. Our School structure, on three outstandingly resourced campuses (Junior School K to Year 4, Middle School Years 5 to 8 and Senior School Years 9 to 12) provides contemporary curricula and age appropriate learning programs aligned to the developmental needs of girls. In addition Collegiate provides care for pre-school children in its two Early Learning Centres. Within the physical environment of each campus the learning experiences are shaped in response to our students’ stages of development. Our commitment to developing e-mature learners is reflected in the nature and resourcing of our ICT provision. We provide a strongly academic, liberal education with an emphasis on intellectual rigour, personal responsibility and commitment to others. Foreign languages are taught from Kindergarten onwards and there are active programs for extension and academic support in all..
