Outline

St Mary’s has an excellent balance between sport, academics and cultural actvities, which is critical in the development of young girls today. Our facilities include a 50m swimming pool and state-of-the-art diving complex, Astroturf and grass hockey fields, squash courts, tennis courts and netball courts.

Girls are encouraged to participate in both competitive and non-competitive sport and are provided this opportunity by taking part in Team and Interhouse sport. The Senior Primary Physical Education lessons are utilised for coaching the sport relevant to the season. Each sport concludes with termly Interhouse competitions.

The Junior Primary Physical Education lessons in the morning are divided between Educational Gymnastics and ball skills, which include basic netball, tennis and hockey skills. During the first and third terms, swimming is taught as we believe this is a vital life skill. The Junior Primary are offered afternoon extra-curricular activities in the sport relevant to the season.
