Once a St Mary's girl, always a St Mary's girl!

Dear Marians,

We want you to add your details to our alumnae database. Already 6000 ex-students have let us know where they are and what they're up to. We'd love to hear from you.

We have continued in working hard for social justice in supporting charities and assisting in practical ways those who cannot protect themselves. The girls have many conflicting values being given to them by the media and merchandising. They can be easily caught up in the superficial world in which the value of doing the best is replaced by the value of ‘looking’ the best. At the College, the traditions of the Sisters of Good Samaritan, which values each person and helps her to attain the ‘higher things’ she is born to, is being maintained. The latest HSC results again reflect good teaching and a high academic standard.

These are all things to be celebrated. We take every opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the girls reaching their goals. The final simple words should come from St Benedict who has touched the hearts and inspired the minds of religious and lay for 150 years. He wrote in his rule “The strong will have something to strive for and the weak nothing to run from.” When we look to the magnificent future of this College, may we always do it with these words ringing in our ears."
