Vision Statement

As a Coptic Orthodox College we recognize that we exist to foster and develop, within an orthodox environment, an awareness of Christ and His teachings.  We seek to do this by providing and maintaining the general spiritual atmosphere where children are nurtured and developed in faith.

We aim to create a positive and happy atmosphere in which children and young people can grow and learn, developing a high level of personal integrity and a sincere respect of others with their varying cultural, academic and socio-economic differences.

At St. Mary’s we respect and appreciate the value of each person as an individual.  We encourage children and young people to be aware of the demands of living in a multi-cultural society.  It is our aim to develop self-respect, self-determination, personal initiative and a sense of community to prepare them to be respected and honorable Coptic Orthodox citizens in the Australian community.

Our school will continue to strive to provide the best education we can; one which is relevant to the changing society in which we live whilst always keeping within the confines of our Coptic Orthodox belief and traditions.
