Principal’s Message

WELCOME TO ST MARY’S SCHOOL

I welcome you to our school website and trust you will enjoy viewing our school, its curriculum and facilities.

Our Catholic School offers our families the opportunity to grow in their understanding of themselves and our faith. Being part of a Catholic School enables our children to develop their talents and share their gifts in a faith environment where each and every person is valued and respected.

We are able to offer rich and deep learning experiences that enable our families to work collaboratively within a supportive environment. Together we achieve many great things.

We strive to integrate our environment into our learning so that our students come to know, respect and love the wonders that surround them.

Our staff provide our children with the best possible learning experiences and have high expectations for the children in their learning and in their relationships with one another.

As a Catholic School we place great importance on the welfare of our families and the school community.

I invite you to view our school and I look forward to perhaps one day taking you on a tour of our school.

School Profile

OUR VISION

“At St Mary’s school we encourage an inclusive, learning community that values safety, love and faith.”

St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Alexandra, offers the richness of Catholic Education and tradition to the growing child in an environment where its example is the centre of all learning.

We hope that members of our St. Mary’s School Community experience and promote the gospel values of love, empathy, trust, respect, honesty and fairness. Our aim is to develop the whole child spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Whilst Religious Education lessons are held throughout the week, the person of Jesus and gospel values – fairness, honesty, care and compassion – are promoted and modelled across all aspects of school life.

At St. Mary’s, our principles for learning design are:

• learning through meaningful partnerships, encompassing the local and wider communities
• learning is ongoing, personalised, innovative and reflective; fiving all stakeholders voice and choice
• we value a contemporary learning environment that is rich and engaging, personalised, safe and inclusive
• wellbeing is integral to learning and student motivation and success
• assessment is pivotal in the journey of learning and is evidence based, driven by data and a strong knowledge of pedagogy to support student outcomes
