St Mary’s School was established in 1953 and is situated in the Inner West of Sydney. It has a rich tradition and history, is strongly linked to the parish, and serves a multicultural population. St Mary’s school provides quality education for girls and boys from Kindergarten to Year Six. Parents, staff and students share an integral role in the life of the school.
The intrinsic nature of St Mary’s School is expressed in its motto: ‘Truth Conquers’. This is reflected in the ethos of fairness, cooperation and justice for all. The community strives to live the gospel values as it builds its future based on ‘faith, hope and love’. Our new Vision for Learning, ‘Open Minds, Open Hearts, Open Hands’, sits comfortably with this motto and underpins the ongoing development of our school-wide pedagogy.
Approximately 520 students are enrolled at St Mary’s School, divided into 19 class groups. A number of support staff assist the classroom teacher to provide a curriculum that caters for the individual needs of all students.
