Our History

St Mary’s Primary School opened in 1889 and continues into the 21st Century to bring together the best we know about how young people learn and how to teach them.


We challenge our students to become independent and lifelong learners, through using Inquiry-based Learning across all curriculum areas. Students, in all subjects, are taught to inquire, think critically and solve problems. A St Mary’s education develops the mind, body, spirit, imagination and character and prepares our students for life beyond primary school.
