A Message from our Principal
Principal: Melissa Drum
Welcome to the St Mary's School website and our school. We aim to respect and develop the unique gifts and talents each student brings to the school.
Since first opening its doors in 1885, St Mary's School has played an important role in the Donald community. The Gospel values underpin the school's commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes the development of the whole person.
St Mary's School has a committed and dedicated staff who consistently engage in professional practices which ensure they offer teaching pedagogies that reflect today's learners.
St Mary's School recognises the important contributions of the parents. The school works towards establishing and maintaining an open and respectful relationship between home and school.
As the Principal, I invite you to take a tour of the school website to inform yourself of the learning opportunities the school offers.
I encourage you to consider St Mary's School when enrolling your child.
Please feel welcome to contact the school and arrange a visit or have any queries answered.
