Principal's Message

​​​Welcome to St Mary's College, Maryborough. ​

We are proud of 133 years of serving local and extended communities by providing a high-quality Catholic Secondary education in Maryborough. At St Mary's College, we recognise the uniqueness of each student and provide a balance of opportunities that nurture students' well-being, spiritual, physical, co-curricular and academic development. It is a welcoming and wonderful place for our families to learn, develop and belong.

Our aim is to provide a learning environment that fully nurtures and develops young people's gifts and abilities allowing them to flourish now and into the future. We work with you, the parent, to equip your young person with the skills necessary to succeed in life. Students have many future pathways made available to them through a wide selection of courses, vocational training opportunities and academic pathways with an excellent track record of results.


Our College is fortunate to have a dedicated, professional and innovative teaching staff. They are committed to developing discerning, compassionate young people ready to engage and contribute to their communities and the world. We embrace flexibility in curriculum design, pedagogy and engagement for our students. Our upgraded classrooms allow for flexible learning and teaching spaces and integration of technology through a range of specialised equipment. In addition to building students' learning through a broad base of core learning areas, we also have fantastic facilities and opportunities for students to develop a love of learning through the Arts, Sciences, and various Design Technologies. A constant drive for educational excellence for all has helped shape an outstanding program of learning and co-curricular opportunities for students in Years 7 – 12.


 We celebrate our mission and faith through meaningful retreats and liturgical programs, as well as a commitment to social justice and supporting outreach communities. In living out our Gospel values of Service, Courage and Justice we aim to support our students to become active members of the College and local community.


 Whether you are continuing with a family connection, following on with Catholic education, or new to the region, we believe that St Mary's College offers a positive learning community with highly qualified and supportive staff, excellent facilities and a focus on the growth of the whole person.

 

We would be honoured to share the educational journey with you and your child. I encourage you to visit our College and experience the safe, supportive learning environment that delivers excellence regardless of educational pursuit.
