St Mary's is a Catholic primary school located in bayside suburb of Hampton. The establishment of St Mary's Primary School and Parish in 1924 with The Presentation Order of nuns composed the initial teaching staff. St Mary's is a dynamic Catholic school of approximately 280 students, offering an educational experience designed to inspire individual achievement and confidence of life. We work together as a parish and school community to ensure the students develop a faith-filled relationship with Christ, which affirms their Christian values and connection with the life of the parish. Our school's learning platform, aims to develop a deep understanding within all students, taking them beyond simple acquisition of knowledge, to deeper understanding of concepts and ideas. Offering a safe environment with a focus on dimensions of learning students can take away positive attitudes that will make them effective learners for life. There is real sense of Pastoral Care which is based on our core Catholic values and qualities that embody the spirit of St Mary's: 'Commitment, Dedication, Faith, Loyalty, Education, Leadership and Community'.
