Our College is a hive of activity throughout the year, with a vibrant calendar of events that reflect the spirit, diversity, and energy of our community. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of special occasions and one-off experiences, each offering meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and celebration. These events serve as focal points for the College community to come together, fostering unity and a strong sense of belonging with our College values.

Cherished cultural events such as Harmony Day, National Sorry Day, R U OK? Day, and NAIDOC Week highlight the richness of our diverse heritage. Through food, music, dance, and art, these celebrations promote inclusivity and intercultural understanding, reinforcing our commitment to respect and reconciliation.

To honour the vital role of families, St Mary’s College hosts heartfelt celebrations for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, providing opportunities for families to connect and reflect on the invaluable contributions of families. These events are a chance to celebrate the support networks that help our students thrive.

As a K–12 College, we proudly host whole college events that bring together students across all year levels. These include K-12 College Masses, Athletics Carnivals, Swimming Carnivals, Book Week and Science Week. These events foster college spirit, celebrate student achievement, and create lasting memories for our community.

Recent highlights from our College news include the Catholic Performing Arts Festival, where students showcased their talents in music and drama, and the Annual Science Fair, which celebrated innovation and inquiry across all year levels. Our students also participated in STEAM and STEM projects, Design Thinking Showcases, and the Careers Expo, helping them explore future pathways and develop real-world skills.

Community engagement remains a cornerstone of our college event calendar. Initiatives such as the Community Footpath Activation Project, the Taiji Cultural Exchange Program, and Yawuru Seasons Learning Projects connect students with local culture and global perspectives. Events like Notre Dame Open Day Visits and City-Country Cultural Partnerships further enrich our students’ learning experiences.

We also take time to recognise and appreciate the contributions of our staff through events like Teaching Assistant Appreciation Week, and promote wellbeing through Wellbeing Week and National Child Protection Week, reinforcing our commitment to a safe and supportive learning environment.

All these events play a vital role in nurturing a connected, inclusive, and vibrant College community. They reflect our values, celebrate our diversity, and strengthen the bonds between students, staff, families, and our wider Broome community.
