In late 2020 we had the opportunity to interview several St. Mary's students and teachers about how music makes a difference in their lives at school. We are excited to share these videos which tell a story about the long tradition of music-making at St. Mary's and our unique compulsory instrument programme in Year 7-9.

We hope you enjoy this peek into the Music Department at St. Mary's.

We held our annual Sports Awards event on Thursday 29 October to acknowledge everyone who participated in a particularly challenging Covid-affected year. It was wonderful to have all codes come together to celebrate the 2020 Sporting season. Sports Prefects Aimee and Leilani led the Sports Council in running the whole event, from setup to pack down, taking photographs, presenting awards and tech support. A special thanks to coaches, managers, scorers and supporters for the amazing work that you do in supporting the players.

There are many benefits to participating in sports such improving fitness and wellbeing, making new friends, developing a skill or simply having fun.  Opportunities are provided for students to participate, regardless of their skill level or ability. 

St Mary’s College Sports takes guidance from its own strategic plan as approved by the Board of Trustees, government directives as well as National Sporting Organisation guidelines.

Registration and Fees

Students can register for a sport via online Microsoft forms which are available on the Sports Registration tab of the school website.  Registration forms are loaded at various times of the year, depending on sporting season start times etc, so please check the Registration tab regularly. It is not always possible to accommodate late registrations and the responsibility is yours to ensure that these are completed in a timely manner. 

Additionally, payment of sports fees must be made at the time of registration.  Please make careful note of the ‘withdrawal date’, as we have a No Refund Policy should your daughter withdraw after this date.  We kindly ask that careful consideration is made before deciding to join a sport as it is expected that once registered, students will commit to the team for the season.

Please contact the Director of Sport if you wish to discuss payment options.
