Welcome to St Mary's Mackay

Parents send their children to St. Mary’s for a variety of reasons.  Many people make comment on the caring culture that permeates all facets of our school community. I believe an obvious strength is the positive atmosphere that exists.  The children are loved, respected, and taught well.  We offer our students a rounded education that supports personal growth based on Christian values.  Parents appreciate our inner city location.  Older brothers and sisters are able to attend Catholic secondary schools which are conveniently located nearby. We are able to offer students:

1. Friendly, welcoming family atmosphere
2. Fostering of Gospel values & academic excellence
3. Caring, progressive staff
4. Active & committed parent body
5. Visible community spirit
6. Newly refurbished rooms
7. Air conditioning in all classrooms
8. Refrigerators for children's lunch available to all classes.
9. New networked computers in classrooms
10. Refrigerated drinking water
11. Tuckshop 2 days per week  
12. New computer lab
13. Specialist teachers in Music and Physical Education

We invite you to take the time to look at the information available on this web site.  It is a good reflection of the interest and dedication the staff at St Mary's have towards the pupils and families of our fine school.
