Welcome to St Mary’s School.
It is a pleasure to welcome you to our school community and to our website. St Mary’s is a small school with a big heart, where our size is truly our strength. As a close-knit learning community, we take great pride in knowing each child personally—celebrating their strengths, supporting their growth, and walking alongside them throughout their learning journey.
Our school values, Respect, Reponsisiblity and Resilience is at the heart of everything we do. It guides the way we learn, teach, and connect with one another, fostering a nurturing environment built on kindness, respect, and empathy. At St Mary’s, every child is valued, every voice is heard, and every success—no matter how small—is celebrated.
We believe education is most powerful when it is a partnership. Strong relationships between students, families, staff, and our wider community create a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Our smaller setting allows for meaningful engagement, open communication, and many opportunities for families to be actively involved in school life.
Our dedicated staff are committed to providing high-quality learning experiences that support the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development of each child. Through learning in the classroom, creative and sporting opportunities, and service to others, we encourage our students to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable learners.
As you explore our website, I hope you gain a sense of the warmth, connection, and care that define St Mary’s. We warmly invite you to visit our school, meet our community, and experience firsthand how our small school creates big opportunities.
Warm regards,
Shannon Betham
Acting Principal
