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.

ANZAC DAY - FRIDAY 25TH APRIL 2014
As part of St Mary's commitment and contribution to our local Warwick community ANZAC Day Observances, we invite all children from Kindergarten, Prep, Year 1 - Year Seven to participate in the ANZAC Day March and Commemorative Service. We would like to see as many students as possible, proudly walking with our school, participating in this significant Service, not merely watching the parade from the footpath.

It is particularly important that School Captains, Vice Captains, members of Mini Vinnies and House Captains, make a special effort as school leaders to attend this ceremony. Children will need to assemble in Palmerin Street, between King Street and Percy Street (Video Ezy), around 10.25 – 10.30 am., this Friday 25th April 2014.

The March commences at 10.40 a.m. All participants will need to be in full formal summer uniform including St Mary's School Hat and they should bring a filled water bottle.) Parents are requested to collect their children from the Leslie Park Cenotaph at the conclusion of the ceremony. Thank-you for your family commitment to Anzac Day.

"The Spirit of ANZAC is not confined to the battlefield. It lives on in the schools, on the sports fields, in fact all over these great countries of Australia and New Zealand. The sun invades our bodies and makes us 'mad'; mad for freedom - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom to live and think as you will. The Spirit of ANZAC is not something we can see but a powerful driving sensation that can only be felt. It is a feeling that burns in the heart of every Australian and New Zealand countryman. A warm, tender, fiery, even melancholy ideal that nurtures intense patriotism in the innermost soul of every body. Many foundation ANZACs died, but their glorious challenge to catch the thrown torch shouts loud and strong to all. Their goal was freedom for the land they loved."
(Excerpt written by Lt. Col. Arthur Burke, honorary secretary of the ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee of Qld. –www.anzacday.org.au)
