The Chronicle

Michaelhouse remains one of the very few schools to maintain an unbroken printed record of our magazines since our inception - a proud tradition that preserves the rich history and evolving legacy of our community. We hope that our boys remembered to bring their hard copies home with them, and we are pleased to provide our broader community with a digital version, offering the perfect opportunity for some reflective reading.
 
The year 2025 was defined by significant endeavour and achievement. Within these pages, you will find a record of a transformative period in our history, marked most notably by the architectural completion of the Chapel widening. This critical project now allows our entire school of boys, alongside all academic and operational staff, to gather and worship together at the same time - an achievement significant to the soul of Michaelhouse. This edition also pays tribute to Mr Antony Clark, honouring his profoundly positive and transformative tenure, driven by a global reputation and inspiring leadership. Furthermore, we celebrate our continued international standing, having once again been named among the top schools in the world by both Spears and Carfax Education, alongside being named Champion School of the Year by Steer. 
 
We invite you to pour a cup of coffee, settle in, and immerse yourself in the remarkable achievements and milestones of our boys and community.
