We are deeply saddened by the passing of Father Michael Head SJ, who died on Monday 14 October, 2024. Fr Head was a cherished member of the St Leo's College community and a dedicated servant of the Jesuit Community.

Fr Head joined the Jesuits in 1967. Throughout his career, Fr Head worked in secondary schools, university colleges and the Jesuit Theologate.

St Leo’s was fortunate to have Fr Head serve as both Vice-Rector (1989-1990) and Rector (1991). During his time at St Leo's, Fr Head made significant contributions that shaped our College's mission and values. His commitment to education, spiritual growth, and community service inspired both residents and staff alike.

We mourn his passing, but celebrate the life he led and the many ways he touched our hearts. We extend our condolences to his family, friends, and all who were fortunate to have known him.
