School Focus

At St. Mary, we are committed to quality learning for all in a Catholic faith centred context. We embrace moving all our students along the learning continuum in order that they are best able to reach their potential. As literacy and numeracy are the cornerstones of academic achievement, St. Mary School dedicates itself to providing focussed, purposeful, and cross-curricular language and math learning opportunities that support student skill development, critical thinking, and application competence. There is a strong focus on STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math).

Home, School, Church Partnerships

The St. Mary School community has built a strong and vibrant relationship with its affiliate church, St. Mary RCC which is located at 190 MacTaggart Drive, Nobleton. While masses are celebrated at our school by our wonderful priest, Fr. Ignacio, all sacraments are coordinated and officiated by the church directly and held at St. Mary Parish.

The embodiment of our Catholic faith is reflected in all aspects of our school curriculum, procedures, and policies, and most especially in all facets of our home, church and school relationships. Jesus is indeed our role model and as such, we serve to encourage affirming, compassionate, and redemptive relationship building with students and strong, constructive, and dynamic partnering with staff, parents, the church, as well as the community-at-large.
