Statement of Beliefs 

The community of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School believes:

• that children are sacred creations of God. As a Catholic school community – school, home and parish – we must provide creative opportunities for children to learn and apply knowledge and skills in ways that draw them closer to God and one another
• that a safe, non-threatening learning environment promotes feelings of self-worth and school pride
• that all children want to and can:
• be loved and respected, while showing love and respect for themselves and others
• be successful learners, achieving their highest potential
• make good decisions, taking responsibility for their actions
• that educating children is a shared vocation involving home, school and parish. Outstanding school communities work collaboratively to maintain high standards of excellence and are committed to continuous improvement.
