Our Strategy:
2021 - 2025
A Note from...
Elizabeth Carr AM and Judith Tudball C H A I R & P R I N C I PA L
We are delighted to share with you our Strategy 2021-2025 for St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School in our Centenary year. Building upon our foundations and inspired by our overarching purpose, to engage hearts and ignite curious minds, our vision for the future of St Mary’s and our community lies within five guiding strands. These have been carefully considered to build upon, weave together and foster a respectful, supportive and connected community where our students and staff can thrive in their pursuit of personal, academic and professional excellence. Thank you to the Board of Governors, Executive and staff who have passionately worked together to embrace all that is St Mary’s and to use this platform to ensure we can continue to progress and prosper, flourish and abide as we embark on our next century of discovery.
