The wellbeing of our students sits at the heart of all we do. We place a strong emphasis on pastoral care, student safety and belonging, knowing that children learn best when they feel secure, supported, and connected. Relationships are central to life at St Mary’s — between students and teachers, among peers, and through authentic partnerships with families.
Families play a vital role in the life of our school, and we place great value on teachers and parents working closely together for the benefit of each child. Through open communication, mutual trust, and shared responsibility, we partner with families to support students’ learning, wellbeing, and growth. These collaborative relationships strengthen our community and ensure children feel consistently supported at home and at school.
St Mary’s is proud of our strong academic outcomes and is consistently ranked among the top schools in the Northern Territory. We hold high expectations for learning and encourage students to take increasing responsibility for their choices, effort, and growth. Alongside this, our role as educators is to guide, challenge, and nurture — ensuring each child is supported to achieve their best within a caring and balanced learning environment.
Our teachers and educators are highly qualified, dedicated professionals who bring warmth, expertise, and a deep commitment to the holistic development of every child. Learning at St Mary’s is grounded in Gospel values and lived daily through respect, compassion, service, and care for creation.

Yours in Faith and Love
