New - Orientation Day Joy! 

What a wonderful morning we had at St. Mary’s! 

Our 2026 Preps spent some special time getting to know their new Grade 6 buddies — and the smiles said it all. 

After recess, the excitement continued as all year levels moved up into their 2026 classes. It was fantastic to see students exploring their new learning spaces, meeting their teachers, and beginning to imagine the year ahead. So many happy and confident faces across the school!

We are so proud of our students for the enthusiasm, positivity, kindness and the resilience they showed today. 

Here’s to a fantastic start to their 2026 journey at St. Mary’s!
