Welcome to St Mary’s College for the deaf. I encourage you to explore our website which contains information about our expert team, our extensive educational offerings, campus locations and the values inspired environment we create for all our students to thrive.
St Mary’s College follows the charism of the Dominican tradition and welcomes students of all faiths. Through our partnerships, we offer MACS renowned excellence in teaching and learning across all subjects, extensive excursions and camps programs and an array of sporting, music, technology and performing arts extra curricular activities from school clubs to state level competitions.
In the spirit of providing an education in a genuinely inclusive environment, our students are valued members of a welcoming, combined community that is St Mary’s College and one of many local Catholic schools. Teaching and learning in these combined communities involves planning and delivering an education collaboratively that challenges and supports each student to achieve their best. The highly successful inclusion of our students into these local schools is due to our ability to prioritise the learning and resource needs of our students within these partner schools, who are committed to providing exceptional learning and social opportunities as offered to all students in that school community.
We appreciate that finding the right school can be difficult without knowing what future challenges your child may experience. Our team of Teachers of the Deaf, speech pathologists and educational support staff are located onsite every day, providing opportunities for your child to access various levels of support or extension if and when needed. Relationships between students, staff and families are built on a commitment to ensuring every student is known, cared for and valued.
We are proud to have provided exceptional education to deaf and hard of hearing students for over 70 years. Today we continue our approach to learning, teaching and fostering community values that shape and inspire compassionate, empowered, and effective communicators nurtured through a spirit of family partnership.
Discover how a St Mary’s College education can enable your child reach their potential.
I look forward to meeting you on campus.
