Smoothing path to life of success

AT St Mary’s College, we often refer to education as a lifelong journey.

For many students, this journey begins with their first steps into formal education as a four-year-old in kinder and progresses until they graduate at the end of Year 12.

As the only Catholic, allgirls school for kinder to Year 12 in Tasmania, St Mary’s College is uniquely placed to provide a seamless and comprehensive education that recognises that every child’s pathway to personal excellence is different.

Teaching and learning approaches are specifically focused on girls’ learning needs and preferences and are underpinned by a wholeschool culture that respects, nurtures, challenges and empowers.

St Mary’s College Principal, Helen Spencer said the single pathway for kinder to Year 12 was one of our greatest strengths, allowing for the smooth transition from primary to secondary schooling.

“While students are navigating the formal school environment, they are also adjusting to social changes,” she said. Educational opportunities at St Mary’s College start in the Junior School (K-6), where staff and parents work in partnership to guide students to their full potential in an environment based firmly on the Gospel values of tolerance, truth, and love.

Designed with our youngest students’ experiences in mind, the early-learning facility at St Mary’s College is purpose-built to offer a nurturing setting tailored to foster play and sensory-based learning.

St Mary’s College welcomes enrolments for students in all year groups at any time, with places for kinder and Year 3 in 2021 currently available.
