A very warm welcome to St Michael’s Catholic School. At St Michael’s we constantly strive to live by our vision statement and within the Josephite Charism with its focus on the human dimension, both student, family and staff. The staff at our School are committed to Catholic Education within an environment which allows each child to reach their full potential.

The Board of Trustees are dedicated to supporting all areas of the schools governance and are supportive of the drive for high achievement. We hope your association with St Michael’s Catholic School will be a fruitful one as when we enroll your child we also enroll your family. We are keen to foster a close relationship between home and school as we all work together in the holistic education of your child.

We encourage and welcome your participation in our many school events through the year and if you would like to meet your child’s teacher please make an appointment time outside of the hours of 8.30am and 3.00pm.

Our programmes cater to the individual needs of each child and I hope that their experience at St Michael’s Catholic School will be a positive and valuable one.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

St Michael’s is an integrated Catholic Primary School for boys and girls from Year 0 to Year 6. St Michael’s was established in 1916 on its present site in Beatrice Road, Remuera by the Religious Order of the Sisters of St Joseph who ran the school until 1977. The Sisters of Cluny were associated with St Michael’s until 1993. Today, lay staff are appointed to run St Michael’s Catholic School. St Michael’s serves the Roman Catholic Diocese of Auckland, and more specifically the Remuera and Parnell Parishes. Pupils represent several cultural and ethnic groups and come from a variety of socio-economic groups. St Michael’s Catholic School is housed in two buildings with the Senior classes in the original building and the Junior classes in our new block which was officially opened by Bishop Patrick Dunn on 29 February 2004. St Michael’s has a maximum roll of 270 children.




"Be it known to all who enter that CHRIST is the reason for this school"
