Principal's Welcome
You are very welcome to the St. Michael's College website. The stories across these pages reflect the pride we have in our young people as they excel across; the curricular, extra-curricular and community outreach aspects of the life of our College. As a Catholic school, proud of our ethos, we are in unique position to support pupils as they strive for excellence in the many and varied aspects of their lives, reflective of their talents.
Central to the Catholic ethos of the College, and aligned to the values we wish our young people to have, are the ideas of formation and mission for the Common Good. If a school is about anything it is about supporting parents & guardians in forming our students to be good young people, who strive to be the very best they can be in light of their many God given talents. This talent is showcased on this website and our social media, reflecting the dedication of our staff in empowering students to achieve their best.
The second aspect of our College is mission, the importance of young people having a mission, having goals and a dream. It is encouraging students to make their mark on the world and to make the world a better place for all. This mission is evident in the numerous charitable activities and outreach by students across industry, business, care organisations and cross community projects. The mission we encourage our young people to take on is to be the best but in doing so help others and contribute to the common good of all. It is reflected in our College motto Orare, Studere, Agere (Pray, Study & Act). This sums up the ethos of our college and the welcome we have for all who join our school community.
I do hope you enjoy getting to know us through our online offering. To those considering the College for the first time I extend a warm invitation to our open evenings. Thanks again for visiting our website.
Mr. C. O'Connor
Principal
