At St Michael’s, we are deeply committed to providing a world-class education that is both ambitious and inclusive, rooted in our mission statement of “holding God’s hand, we nurture hearts, minds, and spirits.” Guided by the teachings of Christ, our curriculum ensures every child reaches their fullest potential, shaped by our three key curriculum drivers. These drivers not only define our educational approach but also reflect our dedication to offering a rich and comprehensive learning experience in a Christ-centered environment.
Our curriculum is rich in vocabulary and knowledge. We believe that a strong vocabulary is the foundation of effective communication and critical thinking. Inspired by Christ’s example as the Great Teacher, our lessons introduce and integrate a broad range of vocabulary, ensuring that children can express themselves confidently and engage with complex concepts across all subjects, thereby deepening their understanding and wisdom.
We provide diverse experiences that broaden our students’ horizons and foster a deep understanding of the world around them. Following Christ’s call to love and serve others, our curriculum is filled with opportunities that challenge our students to think creatively and empathetically. From cultural visits to hands-on projects, these experiences are essential for developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to thrive in an interconnected and ever-changing world.
Community awareness is at the heart of our educational approach. We encourage our students to be active, compassionate members of their community, reflecting Christ’s teaching to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Through various projects and collaborations, we teach the importance of social responsibility and foster a sense of belonging and purpose. This focus on community helps our children develop strong moral values and a commitment to making a positive impact in their surroundings.
All our curriculum drivers are underpinned by and influenced through the effective and efficient use of technology by staff and children. We integrate modern technology seamlessly into our teaching methods to enhance learning and ensure our students are equipped with essential digital skills. By leveraging technology, we provide personalised learning experiences, encourage collaboration, and prepare our students for the technological demands of the future, all while upholding the teachings of Christ in a modern context.
At St Michael’s, our ambitious curriculum is more than just an educational framework; it is a pathway to nurturing the hearts, minds, and spirits of our children, empowering them to achieve greatness while steadfastly following the teachings of Christ.
