Almighty God, before whom we stand, make this school a place where Truth and Love abound.
May St Michael and all the holy angels bless and protect us so that we may be instruments to Your glory. 
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, AMEN

Song

Piercing clear St Michael’s eyes,
Gaze across his angel ranks,
On to mortals who give thanks,
For this warrior strong and wise.

We who proudly bear his name,
Lift our hearts in happy praise,
Joyously our voices raise,
And our saint’s protection claim.

Who we are

message from our headmistress

We are blessed with a team of dedicated and competent academic and non-academic staff, supported by modern facilities and a caring community that ensures each learner receives the guidance and encouragement she needs to reach her full potential. Our school embraces diversity and teaches the importance of tolerance, empathy and understanding, preparing our learners to live meaningfully in an ever-changing world.

Discipline and moral strength remain the cornerstone of our school’s success. We strive to empower our girls to become confident, independent young women who lead with humility and courage and who contribute positively to the wider world.

We take great pride in the enduring spirit of St Michael’s as a school that continues to blend tradition with progress, faith with learning and excellence with compassion. May we remain steadfast in our mission to nurture young women who embody the light, strength and grace that define a true St Michael’s girl.

Success comes to those who work hard and remains with those who continue to strive beyond past achievements. This, is St Michael’s School for Girls.
