School Theme for 2026

Mary MacKillop was a visionary who recognised the transformative power of education. She dedicated her life to ensuring that all children had access to education, regardless of their circumstances. Her famous words, “Never see a need without trying to do something about it,” form our school theme for 2026. These words urge us to be attentive to the needs of others and to take action with compassion and courage.

In the coming weeks, students across the school will be learning about Mary MacKillop and the important work she undertook. The Story of Mary MacKillop

Blessing of the School Bags

Our Foundation students, together with their families, began their time at St Mary’s with a Blessing of the School Bags. Thank you to Fr Desmond for his special words.

Beginning of the Year Mass

On Thursday Years 1- 6 celebrated the Beginning of the 2026 school year with our Opening Mass. Our school leaders were presented with their leadership badges.

Thank you to the Year 6 student and church captains that lead the Mass.
