St Michael’s School students assemble each morning and begin the day with a prayer to St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. In the classroom the students learn traditional Catholic community prayers enabling them to pray as one voice during Mass and other liturgies.

The children are also encouraged to speak to God in their own words taken from their own experiences. 

SCHOOL PRAYER

St Mary of the Cross, pray for us and help us to be kind to all the people we meet today. Amen.
