College Heritage

The heritage of this College would probably be the most rich and diverse of any school in Australia.

Our College is one of the few that can boast a tradition based on almost 180 years of excellence in education. Thousands of successful past students, both boys and girls, girls till 1967, can attest to this proud tradition of education on the St Mary's site. 

Our heritage fosters an environment that accepts each person's uniqueness and brings with them special gifts and talents, where each member of the College community is nurtured in a caring environment. The demeanour of the students is truly indicative of this.

  • academic excellence; 
  • a strong emphasis on religious education and Christian service;
