Service and Outreach

At St Mary’s, as a welcoming faith community, students are provided with opportunities to:

access and understand the Sacred Scriptures and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ
develop a critical understanding and appreciation of the Catholic faith tradition and grow in the knowledge, beliefs, ritual practices, social structures, history, symbols, stories and teachings of this tradition
reflect, evaluate and interpret their life experience, which in turn will lead them to personal growth and the development of religious, spiritual and moral awareness
develop their leadership qualities for service in the worshipping community
learn about the life and work of Mary MacKillop and the Josephite Sisters and reflect on the impact and influence of the Josephite ethos on the life of the college
make explicit the stated values of the college in their daily life
analyse and respond to issues of injustice in the light of Catholic social teaching
participate in the Church’s social mission for the betterment of marginalised peoples both locally and globally.
