At St Mary's, we are dedicated to our students' educational and emotional well-being. Our classroom and teacher structures for 2025 have been carefully designed with this in mind, ensuring a 20-22 student-to-teacher ratio. These ratios allow our teachers to implement explicit and targeted teaching practices, guaranteeing that each student's needs are met.

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Swimming and Water Familiarisation program! It has been an incredible experience for all our students, and we couldn't have achieved this without our fantastic staff's tireless dedication and hard work.

A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers, instructors, support staff and parents who made this program possible. Your unwavering commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment has helped our students gain valuable water safety skills that will benefit them for years.

Our top priority is the safety of our students in the water, and this program has played a vital role in helping them build confidence, learn vital water safety techniques, and, most importantly, have fun!

We look forward to continuing to provide enriching experiences that help our students stay safe and confident in the water. Thank you once again for your support and dedication to this important initiative!
