About St Michael's Grammar School

Provided by the school

St Michael’s is the private school of choice for Melbourne families that value Dignity, Respect, Care and Compassion, and want their children to be safe, nurtured and challenged as individuals. We are an inclusive co-educational school community offering a single-campus model, state-of-the-art facilities, expert teachers, and broad-ranging, future-focussed learning and development programs that support each student to maximise their potential by developing their talents and encouraging their passions. Each student is equipped with the knowledge, attributes and confidence to pursue a meaningful future. We have been perfecting our leadership of co-educational learning communities for almost 50 years, with diversity and inclusion evident in our people, programs, policies and culture. Our broad-ranging educational offering, both curricular and co-curricular, and our emphasis on contributing citizenship empowers our students to make a difference in the world.

Academic excellence

Our successful track-record as leaders in the delivery of coeducation is evidenced by our consistently high VCE results, with gender-balance reflected in our top-performers, and 100% of students receiving their 1st preferences for university entry. 2023 VCE highlights: - The highest-scorers had attended St Michael’s since their Kindergarten or Primary Years - 35% of students received an ATAR over 90 - 60% of students received an ATAR over 80 - 13% of students received an ATAR over 95 - 6% of students received an ATAR over 98 - 100% of students who wanted to pursue university study received offers for their preferred University and program in the first or second VTAC rounds (129 out of a total of 131 students). - Higher satisfaction: Compared to 112 similar Victorian Independent Schools, St Michael’s students reported greater overall satisfaction with their schooling experience.*

Student wellbeing

Known for our inclusive culture, St Michael’s is committed to modelling Contributing Citizenship and breaking down barriers between our School and the broader Melbourne community. Rather than being a place of exclusivity, we want our students to understand their responsibilities as Michaelians, and to be given the frameworks and encouragement to seek purpose in their studies and lives, remaining curious about and open to difference. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and discrimination and we are committed to courageous decision-making and considered conflict resolution. We do not shy away from problems when they arise – whether it be a social, emotional or learning challenge. Our goal is always to restore harmony, improve supports for the affected individual/s, and to stand by our policies and values where internal resolutions cannot be achieved.

A message from the principal

Many schools are known for being good at one thing: whether that be a particular sport or academic field. At St Michael's, our goal is to have the right extension opportunities for every individual student – whether it be in STEM, Humanities, the Arts, Sport or Culture – or all of the above. This is reflected in the diverse achievements of Old Michaelians – from Hollywood film directors to AFLW stars, playwrights, businesspeople, scientists, doctors and CEOs of large-scale not-for-profits. To achieve this, we work collaboratively with students to understand their individual interests and needs for extension, and carefully plan our resourcing to be able to offer an exceptionally wide range of learning and extra-curricular opportunities.
