Welcome from the acting Principal of the Junior School

A warm welcome to St Mary’s Diocesan School for Girls! Thank you for showing an interest in our school. I invite you to browse our website to discover the role that we can play in creating a pathway to empower your daughter to become a confident young woman of integrity and character, who will contribute positively to our nation and the world.

We cannot wait for your daughter to walk through the front gates to start her learning journey with us.

At the Junior School, we commit to holding the heart of the girl and the girl at the heart while creating a nurturing and safe environment for all stakeholders. Your daughter will learn more about herself and her God-given talents in an environment that offers a curriculum founded on the faith and values of the Anglican Church and promotes academic excellence through hard work, critical thinking, creativity and innovation.

She will be a valued member of a school where girls take centre stage – every aspect of a girls’ school is designed for girls – from the academic programme and the performing arts to the sports arena and leadership opportunities. She will be encouraged to live out our school values of respect, agility, integrity, a growth mindset and generosity of spirit.

Your daughter will be supported on this journey by dedicated and innovative educators in a community that works together for the greater good. She will spend her days with friends who will support her throughout her school journey, in areas of the school that will offer her both quiet places for reflection and invigorating spaces for adventure and learning.

She will be afforded the opportunity to be of service to the community through various projects and initiatives as we strive to be a space where care, compassion and service abound.

I look forward to meeting you in person and taking you on a tour of our school, so that you can discover for yourself all that St Mary’s DSG can offer your daughter on her learning journey.

May God bless you and your family and keep you healthy and safe.

Mrs Louise Whitelaw
