Catholic Identity

A warm welcome back to our wonderful St. Mary's community!

Beginning of Year Mass

We invite all families to join us in welcoming the Jubilee Year at our Beginning of Year Mass to be held on Friday the 21st of February, 2:15pm followed by a PnF Welcome celebration at the Hampton RSL.  

The Holy Father has dedicated 2025 as a Jubilee Year, something which happens every 25 years. The motto is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’, intending 2025 to be a year of hope for the world. This year at St. Mary's, we invite our school community to embark on a spiritual journey of renewal, reflection, and deepening of faith.

May this year's theme of hope encourage our community to embrace their own spiritual journey with enthusiasm and joy, fostering a lifelong commitment to living out the Gospel values along with our St. Mary's RICH Values of Respect, Inclusion, Compassion and Honesty. 

Creativity has been flowing in all classrooms as students and teachers work together in crafting their beautiful class prayer cloths which will be used for daily prayer in classrooms. We look forward to seeing our Student Representatives present their beautiful prayer cloths at our mass. 

SRCs along with our Year 6 leaders will be receiving a special blessing at our mass.

St. Mary's School Choir

Our school choir is excited to close our Beginning of Year Mass with the uplifting song, "This Little Light of Mine" inviting our school community to reflect on their inner light and the actions we can take to share this with those around us. 

"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds 

and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Students from all year levels are invited to join our St. Mary's School Choir. 

We gather every Monday lunch time preparing songs for upcoming school events! It's a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their vocal skills and form new friendships across the school!

Wishing you warm blessings for the year ahead and we look forward to seeing you all at our Beginning of Year Mass.
