Parental involvement

At St Mary’s Primary, we value the involvement of our families and community.


Our parent volunteers work in classrooms across a range of learning areas. Our families enjoy being involved in many activities within the school.

We work closely with the parish of the Holy Name of Mary Rydalmere, organising many joint liturgies and programs for the spiritual development of our children. and our grade assemblies are conducted in the parish hall twice each term.

I like how people are all friendly to each other - Judith, yr 3
