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 compliment 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.

"SHAVE FOR A CURE"
At last week's Assembly, Mr Carr shaved off his silver locks to support our St Mary's families experiencing leukaemia. Please support those suffering from leukaemia in our school community by supporting Dave Carr and donating to the Leukaemia Foundation. All donations will be gratefully received.

"What an event! Thank you all, for your support over the last few weeks towards finding a cure. We have already banked about $1,800.00 from our generous St Mary's community. Our goal was $1,000.00, so a very well done. The last day for any donation is the Friday, 4th April. God bless and enjoy your Easter with your families" Dave Carr.

ANZAC DAY - FRIDAY 25TH APRIL 2014
St Mary's requests your family support with student participation in the Warwick ANZAC Day March and commemorative service on Friday 25th April 2014 to honour the sacrifice our nation has taken over the last 99 years to protect our freedom, traditions and loved ones.

St Mary's Students (from Prep to Year 7) need to wear their formal summer school uniform, with school hat and water bottle. St Mary's Kindergarten students will wear their St Mary's navy blue Kindergarten uniform, with school hat and water bottle.

There is a new Marching Assembly point for all Warwick schools this year. This year, schools will assemble in Palmerin Street, in the section from King Street to Percy Street. This will allow the separation of schools from the Diggers in forming up the parade and should make for a much smoother operation for parade marshals and less chaotic for parents to drop off in Percy Street. St Mary's School and Kindergarten will assemble around 10.25am -10.35 am in front of the Video Store in Palmerin Street.

We look forward to all students walking with St Mary's on Anzac Day, demonstrating community service, respect and pride in our great Nation.

PROJECT COMPASSION
Each year, our school supports Caritas Australia's Project Compassion. Your donation to Project Compassion helps Caritas Australia pursue justice and help those who are the most vulnerable to extreme poverty, injustice and disadvantage in more than 35 countries around the world.

Each week during Lent, the children will focus on the story of a child in a particular country which will be supported this year.

This week we meet Martina who is a teacher in a Solomon Islands school. Her favourite part of the day is teaching the children songs from the Caritas Australia's Disaster Risk Management Project.

"Nursery rhymes break down the fear associated with natural disasters, and also help children memorise the rhymes and the emergency response," said Martina. Disasters often occur early in the morning when the children are at school so it is very important for the young children to learn strategies to be safe during disasters and emergencies. "This season we're better prepared and know how to respond, and in an emergency this can make all the difference" said Martina.

ST MARY’S KINDERGARTEN – STILL ENROLLING FOR 2014 Our beautiful St Mary’s Kindergarten is located beside the Upper Campus and Parish Centre at 170 Palmerin Street. There are still a few vacancies.
