Our 2026 school year has begun with energy, optimism and a strong sense of community. Students across our College returned to both primary and secondary campuses with smiling faces, positive mindsets and a shared commitment to making the most of every learning opportunity in the year ahead.
As we begin the new year, our College values of courage, love, empathy, acceptance and resilience remain at the heart of everything we do. These values guide our learning, relationships and daily actions, helping to create a welcoming environment where every student feels safe, supported and inspired to grow with a listening heart. Students have also been reminded of our clear behaviour expectations, being their best to be kind, respectful and responsible in all aspects of College life. These simple but powerful expectations ensure we build a positive culture where everyone can thrive, learn and achieve their best.
The start of the year has been filled with excitement as students settle into new classrooms, reconnect with friends and build new relationships with teachers. There is a strong sense of purpose across the College, with students setting both academic and well-rounded personal goals for 2026. We look forward to a year of learning, growth and celebration, as our students continue to live out the St Mary’s values and strive to become the best version of themselves. Here’s to a positive and successful 2026 at St Mary’s College.
