✨ End of Year Mass ✨ On Friday, we came together ✨ End of Year Mass ✨

On Friday, we came together at Immaculate Conception Church to celebrate our End of Year Mass with Fr Shymon. It was a beautiful way to conclude the year as a community, with our Prep students sharing the Nativity story and bringing the true spirit of Christmas to life for us all.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. It was a meaningful and joyful way to end our year together.

🎉🦆 Year 6 Fun Day at The Big Goose! 🐍🌟 Today our 🎉🦆 Year 6 Fun Day at The Big Goose! 🐍🌟

Today our Grade 6 students enjoyed an unforgettable Fun Day at The Big Goose Farm! There were plenty of laughs, new experiences, and even a few brave students making very slippery new friends!

It was the perfect way to celebrate their time at St Mary’s and create memories they’ll carry with them into secondary school. We are so proud of this wonderful group of students and all they have achieved.

💙🌟 Leadership Begins Here! 🌟💙 This week our Year 💙🌟 Leadership Begins Here! 🌟💙

This week our Year 5 students have been exploring what it truly means to be a school leader. As part of their learning, they were taken out to lunch to reflect, share ideas, and discuss the responsibilities and opportunities that come with being the senior leaders of St Mary’s in 2026.

We are so proud of the thoughtful, mature conversations they engaged in — our future leaders are already showing wonderful qualities of responsibility, kindness, and courage. ✨

We can’t wait to see them shine as they step into leadership next year!

🌟 A Morning Full of Excitement at St Mary’s! 🌟 Th 🌟 A Morning Full of Excitement at St Mary’s! 🌟

This morning was a hive of excitement as we held our Whole School Transition. Students spent time with their 2026 teachers and classmates, and the buzz around the school was absolutely wonderful!

After a few initial nerves, the smiles, laughter and happy chatter quickly filled our classrooms and corridors. It was incredible to see just how resilient, positive and adaptable our amazing students are as they embraced new settings and changes with confidence. 

We are so proud of every one of them and can’t wait for the year ahead!

Today our students had a taste of the olden days at St Mary’s! They went technology-free, followed old-school rules, and enjoyed classic games like elastics and marbles.

We’re not sure who loved it more — the students or the staff! 🥰
Such a joyful reminder that simple fun never goes out of style. 💛
