Our Community
At St Michael’s Primary School, we believe a connected community is essential for student learning, belonging, growth, and the wellbeing of all. Students, families, staff, and the wider community are welcomed, valued, and encouraged to contribute to our vibrant school life. Guided by the MACS Vision for Engagement, we recognise that strong partnerships with families enrich our shared mission to inspire curiosity, citizenship, and a lifelong love of learning. The fortunate position of our school enables us to make the most of local resources, including the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne Zoo, the North Melbourne Football Club and other nearby cultural and educational facilities, enhancing learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Grounded in our Catholic values, we promote meaningful participation through school events, leadership opportunities, and community initiatives. Together, we celebrate achievements, build trust, and strengthen ties across the school and parish. At St Michael’s, we strive to work together to be a welcoming, supportive, and wellbeing-focused learning community.

Parents & Friends Association
St Michael’s Parents and Friends Association is an energetic and visible part of the school community and offers many opportunities for parents to gather and become involved in the life of the school. The committee plays a significant role in building the community spirit of the school through its events and functions and providing opportunities for parents and staff to gather together in a spirit of fun and friendship.

The School Advisory Council
St Michael’s School Council acts as an advisory body to the parish priest and principal on matters concerning the development of the school and the education and wellbeing of the students. The SAC meets once every term.

Parent Helpers & Volunteers
At St Michael’s we warmly welcome parents into the classrooms to assist with a variety of activities including reading groups, cooking, maths tasks, art and craft activities and excursions. We also encourage parents to share their expertise, skills and experiences as guest speakers.
Please note all parent helpers and volunteers are required to have a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) to be presented to office staff prior to entry to school. All visitors are required to sign in before entry is permitted.
