St Michael’s Collegiate School is one of Tasmania’s oldest independent girls’ schools, with a history stretching back to the early 1900s.
Rebuilt from the ground up, their new site gives the school a modern digital home that captures what it actually feels like to be part of the Collegiate community.
Fast, accessible and mobile-first, the site is built around the people who matter most: prospective families and current students.
Project Overview
St Michael’s Collegiate School has spent over a century shaping young women into confident, capable leaders. We partnered with the Collegiate team on a complete rebuild designed around their two key audiences: the families weighing up enrolment, and the students already living the day-to-day of school life.
Modernity was front of mind throughout, but so was spirit. Collegiate is an institution with a long history and a community with a distinct sense of identity that we wanted that to come through in every part of the site, not just the photography. Alongside the visual refresh, accessibility and performance were built in from the start, ensuring the site works well for every visitor, on every device.
Key Features
Mobile-first, fast by design: With most prospective families browsing on their phones, we prioritised speed and a seamless mobile experience without compromising on visual impact.
Built for students old and new: Clear pathways for enrolment enquiries sit alongside content built for the existing school community, so both families and students can quickly find what they need.
Accessible from the ground up: Structured with accessibility as a core requirement, not an afterthought, ensuring the site is usable for the whole Collegiate community.
A sense of place and spirit: Imagery and content were chosen to reflect real school life and culture, giving visitors a genuine feel for the Collegiate community.
Respecting a 100+ year legacy: The site honours the school’s long history while presenting it through a thoroughly modern lens, balancing heritage with a forward-looking identity.
