Future pathways
At St Mary’s College Toowoomba, we are in the business of forming young men for the 21st century through faith, integrity, action and excellence.
These qualities have gained new importance and meaning within the challenges of our modern times and sit within the College’s vision of striving for excellence, to reach one’s full potential, making a difference to our world.
St Mary’s is a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition, where we strive to offer a liberating education based on a gospel spirituality within an inclusive community committed to justice and solidarity.
Our core business of education isn’t just focused on what happens in the classroom or on the sporting field; we are committed to providing opportunities to our boys which will serve them through their schooling and their lives beyond the gates of St Mary’s College.
We recognise that each student is an individual, with unique skills, attributes, ambitions, hopes and dreams. For us, this means that a cookie-cutter approach to educational pathways will not facilitate the best possible individual outcomes.
The St Mary’s College Careers
Department led by Mr Kris Glass is instrumental in providing students with the opportunities and connections they seek to find themselves the right career path.
Offering opportunities in emerging and growing industries such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics enables students to understand potential jobs of the future.
The College is committed to getting students into school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, to offer a headstart at a career after school.
Through our strong connections with the network of College Old Boys, our students are fortunate to have the chance to visit industries, institution and businesses to experience real world working life and prospects.
Here at St Mary’s, we have more than 120 years experience in educating boys. We know boys, and we know how to teach them.
Our Latin motto, Conanti Corona, is at the heart of what it means to be a St Mary’s man. It translates as, “a crown to the one who strives”.
That means we are completely dedicated to supporting our boys find the best pathway for their own success – academically, vocationally, spiritually and socially.
