We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.
For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.
POSM Parents of St Mary’s
We are a family-friendly school committed to collaboration and partnership with our parents and the wider community. The Parents and Friends partnership known as POSM is essential, highly valued and represented in various ways including fundraising, hospitality, reading groups and excursion support.
School Advisory Council
The School Advisory Council is a forum comprising the principal, parish priest and parents. The council consults, listens and seeks feedback and wisdom from the school and parish community so that these communities work together to achieve common goals. It provides feedback, support and advice to the principal.
School Canteen
Our canteen—Miss Michelle’s Tuckshop—features delicious foods cooked on site and enjoyed by all. Miss Michelle is an industry-trained chef and keeps a healthy canteen for all students. Orders can be placed in the class lunch tub, or in person before school each morning.
