At St. Michael’s, we are often described as a “small school with a big heart.” Nowhere is that more visible than on St. Michael’s Day, when students, staff, parents, and alumni come together at the cathedral. The sight of our whole community side by side is a powerful reminder of what makes our school unique. In a world where bigger can overshadow, our strength lies in being small enough to know every child by name and every family by story. At the same time, we are big enough in vision and spirit to create lasting impact.

The power of small means every voice is heard, every contribution matters, and every achievement is celebrated. It allows us to build close relationships, provide truly personalised learning, and help young leaders grow in confidence. Our annual St. Michael’s Day service is more than a tradition. It is a living expression of the values we share. The day brings together current families and alumni, children and staff, old friends and new, uniting us in gratitude and purpose.

Standing together in the cathedral this year, we were reminded that when a community is bound by shared values and a clear mission, its influence reaches far beyond size. It is the collective spirit of growing, working, and learning together that makes St. Michael’s truly extraordinary.
