With its heritage buildings and modern learning spaces, the school’s central Hobart campus provides a safe, inspiring and supportive environment for girls from Kindergarten through to Year 12.

With strong Christian values at its core, Collegiate promotes courage, compassion, integrity and service, preparing students to be confident and capable contributors to their communities and the world beyond.
St Michael’s Collegiate
At the heart of the Collegiate experience is a commitment to girls’ education. The all-girls setting is designed to empower students, allowing them to build confidence, explore their interests and develop leadership skills in an environment that champions their voice.
The educational journey begins at the Early Learning Centre (ELC), where children aged 2–4 enjoy a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach to learning. Nature walks, gardens maintained by the children, and story-based exploration help spark curiosity and a love of learning early on.
For younger children from birth to four years, the Little Learning House offers free, play-based learning sessions designed to help families connect and grow together.
As students progress through the Junior, Middle and Senior schools, they are supported by dedicated mentors and teachers who guide their academic and personal growth. A restorative and pastoral care approach ensures students feel valued and respected.
In the Senior School, students benefit from a broad curriculum alongside co-curricular opportunities in sport, service, leadership and the performing arts. The school’s 9 ASPIRE and 10 Connect programs offer experiential learning that encourages independence, resilience and confidence.
Private Schools Hobart
Among Hobart’s private schools, St Michael’s Collegiate stands out for its commitment to holistic education. The school’s tailored support and enrichment programmes—like the EDGE program—are designed to meet the diverse needs of every student, from those requiring learning support to high-achieving students needing additional challenges.
A particular highlight is the School of Performing Arts (SPA), an innovative “school within a school” for students in Years 8–10 with a passion for acting, dance and music. With state-of-the-art facilities including a 250-seat theatre and specialist studios, students can refine their talents and prepare for future study in the arts.
