Principals Welcome

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to St Mary’s College Broome, where we are blessed to be living and learning on this beautiful Yawuru country. As the K-12 College Principal of this wonderful Catholic educational College, I am proud to lead a team of dedicated and passionate educators and support staff who are committed to providing our students with a quality catholic education and a nurturing environment.

Our College is a place where students are encouraged to discover their gifts and talents, and to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life. We believe in fostering a culture of academic excellence and providing our students with the support and resources they need to achieve their goals and pathways in our K-12 setting. We have high expectations for our students and encourage them to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. We provide a supportive and challenging learning environment that inspires our students to reach their full potential and become leaders in our community and beyond.

At St Mary’s College, we uphold our faith values of courage, love, empathy, acceptance and resilience with a listening heart. We believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment where every student is valued, respected, and where diversity is celebrated, and students are supported to shine bright and flourish.

Located in the heart of Broome, our College is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Kimberley region. We are committed to providing our students with a culturally rich and engaging learning experience that is grounded in the local culture and heritage and are grateful to have students from all over the Kimberley and world as part of our St Mary’s community.

We encourage all of our students, in partnership with our families and community to embrace the opportunities on offer at our College.
