St Michael’s parent support group is called Friends of St Michael’s - FOSM. 

We are proud of the parent involvement at St. Michael’s School.  Parents have the privilege of being involved in ways that encourage a higher quality of education and a greater community atmosphere.  Being involved shows a sense of duty and commitment to your child's education and ownership in what happens within the school.  Your involvement is also a testimony to your child on their importance to you and an example to them of service to others.

Fundraising brings in over $12, 000 a year for important improvements to the school grounds and school initiatives.  Money raised by fundraising allow our tuition payments to stay low.  

St. Michael's has a variety of much-needed fundraising opportunities including:

• Bake Sales

• Bottle Drives

• Purdy's Chocolates

• Poinsettia Sales

• Annual Gala

We welcome your suggestions for future fundraising ideas.  Contact the Chair of FOSM to share your ideas.

Every school year, each family will be required to volunteer a minimum of 12 hours as part of the registration obligations.  It is important that the volunteer time is fulfilled to help offset operational costs. 

St. Michael's offers a variety of volunteer opportunities:

• Assistance in classrooms

• Building and maintenance

• Fundraising events

• Spring and fall clean-up

Should you have a special skill to offer, please contact the school.

St Michael’s School Council meets once a month. This Council is composed of seven volunteer members of the Catholic community along with the parish priest and principal. This Council follows the constitution and by-laws of the Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese to manage the business activities of the school under the guidance of the Bishop.
