Year 12 St Mary's Day Celebrations

Preparations for the Year 12 students' final St Mary’s day festivities have begun. This day is a cherished tradition, bringing our College community together in faith, fun and friendship. 

The entire College community looks forward to the much-anticipated Year 12 dance routine, which promises to be a highlight and showcase of the day. We wish all Year 12 students a wonderful day of celebrating as they come to the end of their journey here at St Mary's.

Semester 1 Academic Achievement 

Congratulations to the Year 12 students who were presented with a Semester 1 Academic Achievement Award at the recent College Assembly. These students have demonstrated a consistent commitment to their learning and should be proud of the effort and dedication they have shown throughout the semester. They are encouraged to keep this momentum and commitment up as they approach the end of their studies and preparation for the External Examinations.
