St. Mary’s School Policies
Our chief aim is to provide for the young students who come to us ”an education by virtue of which their whole lives may be inspired by the spirit of Christ”.

In attempting this we must recognise two basic facts:- that parents are the first and foremost educators of their children;- that a true education acknowledges the dignity of each human person however young, and aims at enabling them to achieve their potential as a person, and at enabling them to serve responsibly the society in which they finds themselves.
Accordingly we try to provide a quality educational experience that fosters and promotes the intellectual, physical, emotional, cultural, moral and religious growth of our students. The Christian values of faith, trust, love of each other, obedience, honesty, truthfulness, chastity, spirit of work and fair of play, respect for other people and for other’ property are highlighted at all times through the school community experience. These values and virtues are nurtured and developed through good habit-formation as outlined in the school code behaviour.
