Communication Platforms

Our Communication Approach

Effective communication should be a collaborative approach between the College and families. The College uses a variety of essential channels to keep you informed and engaged, including email, phone, SEQTA, Consent2Go, semester Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews, our weekly e-newsletter, the St Michael’s College website and social pages.

Email: Email is our primary method for disseminating key information to families. It is crucial to keep your email addresses accurate and current. We encourage families to communicate with us via email at their convenience. What to expect via email:

  • Information directly related to your child, including pastoral notifications
  • SEQTA notifications
  • Community announcements
  • Co-curricular information
  • Key event information
  • Weekly newsletter

In line with the St Michael’s College Community Charter, staff are not expected to check or respond to emails outside of regular office hours or weekends. Staff will respond to emails within two working days. Please take the time to look at this document: St Michael’s College Community Charter

Phone: Our administration staff are available during business hours to handle enquiries, answer questions, process forms and take messages. Please note that R-12 staff are not available to take calls during class time.
