When St Michael’s School was opened and blessed in 1923, it was placed under the patronage of St Alphonsus, and was known by this name during its early years of service. The original school was located in Muir Street and has now been converted into a Parish Hall.
The present St Michael’s School was opened in December 1959. The Sisters of Mercy ran the school from 1923 to 1990, and the community owes a great deal to these women who worked in our Parish.
In 2023, we celebrated our 100 year anniversary of providing Catholic Education to the Gordonvale community. A book detailing the history of the school, including many recounts of past students, has been compiled and is available for purchase from the school office and parish office.
St Michael the Archangel is the Patron Saint of the School.
