St Mary's Primary School

Welcome  

I warmly welcome you to the Community of St Mary’s Greensborough. I am extremely excited to be the Principal of St Mary’s and I look forward to getting to know you and your child and view our relationship as a partnership in your child’s education Foundational to our work with students, families and the school community is the building of genuine, authentic relationships.

Our school will endeavour to provide opportunities for each child to reach their full potential in a high performing, nurturing, Catholic environment.

Our staff is made up of committed, dedicated people who welcome discussion with you about your child’s learning. Student wellbeing is a priority at St Mary’s because we believe students learn best when they feel safe and happy. Please inform me and their teacher if ever you have any questions or concerns.  

We are a dynamic community with many opportunities to get involved and get to know one another whether that be through the School Advisory Board, The Parents’ Association or Parish Pastoral Council. St Mary’s provides an excellent avenue for socialising, making new friends and getting involved in the Parish and school community. There are also many opportunities for you to be partners in your child’s learning and we appreciate and value your input and commitment.
