Principal’s Message
History
St Michael’s Catholic Primary School Meadowbank opened in 1922 under the leadership of two Sisters of Mercy and the parish priest, Fr Gell. In the early days, classes were held in the church, which was built the year before, requiring classrooms to be packed up on the Friday ready for Sunday Mass.
Over the next 100 years, various building projects funded by the parish and government were undertaken, championed by the local community in need of a quality Catholic education in Meadowbank. In 1995, the Sisters of Mercy announced that they were withdrawing from the leadership of St Michael’s, and from 1996 onwards, the school has been led lay principals.
Charism
Our school is inspired by the work of the Sisters of Mercy and their founder, Catherine McAuley. Their charism is kept alive through our school values, which are based on the hallmarks of a quality Mercy Education:
- Justice
- Compassion
- Faith
- Respect
- Service
- Excellence
- Hospitality
- Stewardship
Our eight student leadership teams have the responsibility for keeping one of these Mercy Values alive throughout the school.
Mission
The mission of St Michael’s Catholic Primary School Meadowbank is to provide high quality education, inspired by the actions of Jesus Christ and the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy.
Vision
To achieve this mission we will:
- provide high quality, equitable education through implementing our KITES pedagogy and providing learning experiences which meet all students’ needs
- educate children about the actions of Jesus Christ and the traditions of our Catholic faith and
- embed the values of the mercy tradition into the school life.
The community of St Michael’s Catholic Primary School Meadowbank is one of welcome and acceptance with a strong link between school and parish. St Michael’s includes the wider community in its day-to-day activities.
