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.
Prayer for Rain
Dear Lord,
We are facing a severe drought.
We ask You to send us rain to water the land.
To help nourish the plants and fill the rivers, water-holes, dams and streams.
Grant us rain, to help aid the farmers of our country in these trying times. Please
give them strength and resilience.
Allow the heavens to open, with the water of life, to ease the hardship of the animals
on the land.
Give relief with rain on the plains and mountains,
To our flocks and herds,
The native animals, birds and fish.
We ask you this in faith and love.
AMEN
At St Mary’s we are aware of the drought crisis that is affecting our local community and much of Australia. This Tuesday we participated in a simultaneous prayer service, which was sent to us by Mrs Prue Jervis who is now teaching in Yass. This gave the students and staff the opportunity to reflect on God’s word and to ask for the blessing of rain. We invite you and your family to pray this prayer with us.
We would also like to put together some care packs to offer support to some local people doing it tough. Suggested items that we would like families to send in over the next two weeks: shampoo conditioner shower gel soaps shaving cream washing detergent fabric softener toothpaste toothbrushes bandaids tissues sunscreen We will then put together the care packs to be distributed. If you know some people on the land who could do with some kindness please see the office or Mrs Young.
FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Yesterday we celebrated the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We began our celebrations with a Mass combined with St Mary’s Kindy, Assumption College and many families and parishioners. We were blessed to have Bishop Robert McGuckin, Fr Franco and Fr Terry preside over the Mass. In the spirit of Mary, we then held our annual Market Day to raise funds for various charities and made sure that it is indeed a ‘Feast Day’ for our school.
Special thanks to the staff for orchestrating the stalls, the parents who supported them with goods and the many families who attended the Market Day. It truly was a special day for our school.
