Mary Immaculate School is located in a predominantly residential area in Ivanhoe with the school parish close by. Mary Immaculate is one of three schools which make up the Parish of Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is a comfortable middle class area with most parents in professional occupations and 90.8% coming from an English-speaking background. Most students experience a stable family environment. For such a small school, we have very strong parent participation, which reflects our vision of a community embracing learning in and beyond the classroom, in the Spirit of Christ and the humanness of all. The well-being of all is of paramount importance and our well-being co-ordinator actively works with our students to maintain optimum well-being. We offer specialist teaching in Italian, physical education, performing arts and visual arts. Our students engage in a strong inter-school sport program and are actively involved in our camp program. We provide formal leadership opportunities for our senior students.
