Facilities
At St Mary’s we are blessed with the opportunity to work and learn in new facilities that are a product of immense sacrifices, detailed planning and the highest standards of architectural and construction practice. In 2015, detailed planning commenced for implementing a new iteration of our community as a Year 7-12 Catholic college. The construction of new facilities was integral to the process. We give thanks for countless hours of self-effacing service that have gifted us these new facilities. Teachers and students occupy these spaces in a manner that affects our individual and collective gratitude.
Our new facilities stand as a symbol of progress. They tell a story of a community’s growth and development, but this only part of the story. The real story is reflected in the “spirit of community” with which we embrace our new facilities; where we seek to grow as both learners and human beings, centred on, and inspired and nourished by, God’s love as revealed in the human Jesus.
