At St Mary’s, our mission is rooted in the belief that every child can flourish through love, respect, and service. Guided by our Mission Statement, “Learning, Loving, and Serving like Mary,” we strive to create a community where faith, kindness, and a commitment to helping others are central to all we do. Inspired by Mary’s example, we encourage our students to grow in knowledge, show compassion, and serve others with humility and grace.

Love, respect, and service are the core values that shape our school community. At St Mary’s, we believe that love, expressed through compassion and care, builds a supportive environment where each child can thrive. Respect for ourselves and others fosters a sense of belonging and responsibility, while service to the community reflects our Catholic ethos. We teach our children the importance of making a positive impact on the world, both within and beyond the school. Through daily acts of kindness and service, our students embody the teachings of Jesus and the example of Mary, growing into responsible, compassionate individuals.

Our Catholic identity is at the heart of life at St Mary’s. Through prayer, worship, and Religious Education, our students are provided with opportunities to deepen their relationship with God and grow spiritually. With Jesus guiding us, and Mary as our role model, we help children develop strong moral values, encouraging them to live with integrity, respect, and humility. Service is not seen as an obligation but as a joyful expression of our faith, showing children that true greatness comes from helping others.

At St Mary’s, we are committed to nurturing a culture of love, respect, and service in every part of our school life. Love forms the foundation of our relationships, encouraging kindness, empathy, and mutual care. Respect helps us to treat one another with dignity and understanding, creating an inclusive and positive environment. Service, the natural outcome of love and respect, inspires our students to actively seek ways to help others and contribute meaningfully to society. By living out these values each day, we guide our students to develop a deep sense of responsibility for the wider world.

Our approach to education integrates love, respect, and service into all areas of learning. We encourage our students to see their academic success not only as personal achievements but as opportunities to help others. Whether through teamwork, community service, or everyday acts of kindness, we teach our children that their gifts are meant to benefit those around them. At St Mary’s, learning is not just about acquiring knowledge but about fostering the values of love, respect, and generosity in everything they do.

Spiritually, love, respect, and service are at the heart of our faith. Through prayer, worship, and charitable activities, our students learn that their relationship with God is reflected in how they treat others. We encourage them to follow the example of Jesus and Mary by showing selfless love and care for those in need. At St Mary’s, we don’t just teach these values—we live them, ensuring our children grow into thoughtful, caring members of their local and global communities.

With love, respect, and service at the heart of St Mary’s, we empower our children to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus and the example of Mary, we guide them to live lives of purpose, compassion, and generosity, preparing them to make a positive impact on the world around them.
