St Mary's Secondary School

Our Community, Learning Together

The aim of St Mary’s Secondary School is to provide holistic education, in the Catholic tradition, for all our students. We are committed to the academic, creative, emotional, spiritual and physical development of each student, in a caring and safe environment.

Principal's Welcome

It is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as Principal and welcome you to St Mary’s Secondary School, Charleville.

It is my pleasure to lead our school community forward as inclusive and student centered. Our dedicated staff pride ourselves in exemplary teaching practices to support all our students in reaching their potential. We strive for the highest academic standards and engage in continuous professional development on an ongoing basis.

Equally, we are committed to the wellbeing of each student. We work towards the holistic development of each student in a calm and safe environment.

We value the support of our students’ parents and our wider school community. We place tremendous emphasis on student voice in our respectful classroom environment. Student participation and contribution is the key to everything we do at St Mary’s.

I invite you to explore our website, which aims to provide further insight into what our student centered approach.

Le gach dea-ghuí,
