Welcome to our website.....

Welcome to St Mary's Catholic Primary School Warwick, one of Warwick's finest primary schools. Under the umbrella of the Toowoomba Diocesan Catholic Education Office, we are a Parish School, part of the St Mary's Parish, Warwick. Our Parish Priest, Fr Franco Filipetto, supports the pastoral role of the school.

The school offers a professional and dedicated staff who endeavour to deliver a curriculum which is both exciting and innovative.  We have a very real commitment to the basics of literacy and numeracy. We complement this by also addressing other key areas of learning to provide a wonderful all-round education for the children in our care.

St Mary's School is proud of its history of providing high quality education in an environment of the Catholic tradition. Our school is committed to meeting the challenges of education today and in the future in order to provide students with the skills necessary to progress further along the life-long journey of education and learning.

THE ARTS AT ST MARY'S
What do the Arts look like at St Mary’s? Designed to nurture and bring out the artistic flair in each of our students, our Creative Arts program is not just a series of activities but a journey of imaginative discovery.

Comprehensive Arts Education
What sets St Mary’s apart is our commitment to specialist education in all Arts areas from Prep to Year 6. Mrs Wright specialises in Visual and Media Arts, while Mrs Lawson covers the vibrant worlds of Music, Dance, and Drama. Both are experts who bring a wealth of professional experience, ensuring your children are taught by those passionate about their subject matter.

Inspiring Young Artists Workshops
We recognise that some children have an extraordinary gift for the visual arts. To tap into this potential, our visual arts teacher, Mrs Wright, hosts Inspiring Young Artists workshops twice a term. These sessions are more than just art classes; they are immersive experiences where children learn intricate techniques and create an art piece that they can proudly call their own.

Community Engagement Through the Arts
Beyond the classroom, we offer an array of performance-based opportunities. Under Mrs Lawson's guidance, our School Choir, Drama Club, and Verse Speakers meet weekly, refining their skills in performance art. These groups have the privilege of serving our broader community by performing at local aged care homes, eisteddfods, and even the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Arts Fest earlier this year.

Instrumental Music Program
For children captivated by the magic of musical instruments, Mr Buchanan teaches a wide variety of them—whether it's the drums, the guitar, or even brass instruments like the trumpet and euphonium. Mr Buchanan also leads our school band, which meets weekly to practise their skills in a collaborative approach. Not to be forgotten, Mrs Hulme leads keyboard and vocal lessons, offering another avenue for your children to explore their musical abilities.

Annual Arts Extravaganza
Perhaps the pinnacle of our Creative Arts program is the annual Arts Extravaganza held in Term 3. During this night of nights, our school hall is transformed into an art gallery, displaying artwork from every single student at St Mary’s. The event is made even more memorable with live performances from our choir, verse speakers, and instrumental music students.

Annual School Ball
Our annual school ball is another beloved tradition that complements our Creative Arts program. This enchanting evening is about more than just dance; it captures the community spirit that defines St Mary's. Students and their parents look forward to this evening where they can showcase dances that they've learned over the term. Mrs Lawson carefully integrates dances that meet our Dance curriculum, and our classroom teachers prepare our students for traditional dances that they perform with their parents. The night is always filled with smiles, laughter, and a sense of community that makes it a memorable experience for all.

We are exceptionally proud of what we’ve built here at St Mary's, and we wholeheartedly invite you to engage with our Creative Arts program. If any members of our community have other talents or avenues that can help us enrich this program even further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and tell us more! Together, let's celebrate and nourish the creative souls of our young learners.
