Michael Lee

The skills that I gained in organisation, financial management and student advocacy were really liberating for me. It is fair to say that John XXIII College was very different in the late 70’s to what it is today. This is progress. 

My time at Johns was one of respectful relations, a relaxed environment, and a place where firm friendships were forever forged. The opportunity to meet people from all over the country was a rich experience for this Sydney boy.

Michael Lee has had a lifetime career in education and is currently principal at St Mary Mackillop College in Tuggeranong.

Michael was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List in 2023 for Services to Education.
