As a Principal, you will be inspired to lead a joy-filled community where students, staff, and families can flourish within a Catholic context. Your leadership will enable the vision of the school to be realised, creating an environment where everyone can reach their full potential. The role of the Principal is one of the most important roles across the MACS system, as their faith and educational leadership enables the vision of the school to be realised.

Students at St.Mary’s are surrounded by families and staff who nurture and challenge them to grow. At St Mary’s, staff recognise the importance of the home school partnership. A social and emotional school toolkit allows staff to strengthen this partnership and enables parents and students to draw upon skills and strategies that build a resilient, inclusive community where students can learn and flourish.
