Welcome from the Head Team

I had no idea how much this school would influence me. I joined St. Michael's in Year 7 with a mixture of both anticipation and anxiety. From being a scared, new student to settled to a sixth former and now Head Girl, I have grown alongside St. Michael's over the course of these years. My involvement at this school for so long has given me the opportunity to fully understand its principles, not just in words, but also in my everyday interactions with everyone. People are known, supported, and inspired to be their best selves in the community of St. Michael's. Making the move to sixth form can be intimidating, but it's a step you will never take alone. Students are always eager to help one another in all circumstances because that is the type of community everyone has made an effort to create and this is the exact type of community that can never be broken. Collaboration is truly the foundation of success at St. Michael's, acting as a reminder that teamwork will lead us all to greater successes. The school regularly pushes us academically while constantly offering ongoing support. Our teachers are mentors who sincerely care about our development and well-being in addition to teaching us. In my own personal experiences, I believe that it was always comforting to know that there were always teachers to help me whenever things would start getting too much. Just knowing that they are there even if we are all doing okay, helped calm me down in moments where I felt overwhelmed. Students also feel comfortable asking questions and developing in a supportive learning environment with the smaller class sizes. There is always someone ready to lend a hand, regardless of the topic or difficulty. But there is much more to sixth form life at St. Michael's than just academics. There are times when students can just laugh, unwind, and be themselves in addition to working hard. These times can be in class, during clubs, school events, or with friends. These enjoyable times build close relationships and leave a lasting impression. As Head Girl, I have personally witnessed the commitment and care that St. Michael's gives to its students. I've learned how much importance is placed on student leadership and voice from working with the Head Team. Not only do we learn at St. Michael's, but we also develop there by gaining self-assurance, making lifelong friends, and getting ready for whatever lies ahead. There is more than just a sixth form at St. Michael's, regardless of whether you are coming from lower school or are just starting out. Here, there is a community that believes in you, challenges you, and supports you. St Michael’s sixth form truly is like no other!
