St Mary's School is situated 16 km west of the city of Melbourne and has been in existence since 1928 when the Josephite Sisters commenced the first Catholic school in the area. St Mary's is a welcoming and supportive Catholic Community. We value and celebrate our faith, diversity, individuality and promote life-long learning. We proclaim the presence of Jesus Christ in all people. St Mary's offers a comprehensive curriculum incorporating all aspects of the VELS framework in a contemporary, engaging, challenging and supportive learning environment. Interactive whiteboards in all classrooms have enhanced the embedding of ICT into our daily learning and teaching. Student wellbeing is a priority at St Mary's and is supported by our social skills program, 'You Can Do It'. An instrumental music program, specialist music and art teachers ensure that the Arts are a prominent feature of our school. We are committed to improving the physical wellbeing of all of our students. We have a specialist physical education/sport teacher. As a Nutrition Australia 'Healthy Eating School' and a Kids - 'Go For Your Life' school we value the importance of healthy eating and physical activity.
