Our Strategic Intent
St. Mary’s will be a dynamic Catholic learning community where the sacred dignity of each person is honoured and embraced.
All students will be active, engaged partners in the co-creation of learning experiences with their teachers and families. We will achieve this by building the capacity of our teachers to develop the knowledge, understandings and the skills required to deliver powerful teaching.
Learning opportunities will be evidence driven, purposeful, relationship focussed, inspire creativity, collaborative and contextualised within and beyond the community.
Together, we will be animated learners inspired by the Holy Spirit to act for justice and strive for the common good.
