    <description>Our Story, Our School. Share with us.  

St. Mary’s is a welcoming community that provides a learning environment focused on developing learning confidence, independence and a positive sense of self in each student.

We place a strong emphasis on respect for diversity and individuality and on developing self-confident, compassionate students who are supported to form strong relationships.

We place strong, positive relationships at the heart of all we do and recognise that social-emotional learning is the key to academic success. We recognise and value parents as the first educators of their children and promote productive and open parent-school partnerships.</description>
