Catholic Identity

The St Mary’s School community is inspired by these charisms and we endeavour to live by the guiding principles of ‘educating hearts and minds’ and ‘mercy begins with me’. Throughout our teaching and interaction with our students and the community we provide opportunities, formally and informally to bring the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice and Venerable Catherine McAuley to the hearts, minds and lives of all. We value the dignity of each person, teach the Gospel of Jesus for our contemporary world and provide an inclusive religious life across the school.

Religious Education is a fundamental part of our school community and is integrated into the daily routine so that a Christian atmosphere is fostered as a way of life.

We are very proud of the ecumenical history of our school and Parish and welcome and respect the involvement of all religious traditions in our school community.
