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.
PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT AND BBQ
Parent Information Nights are important opportunities to meet your child’s teacher and to clarify expectations for the year. During these sessions information is shared about curriculum, homework, rules and teacher communication. There is also the opportunity for parents to ask any questions. There may be some clashes in times with families and we encourage parents to particularly attend the Prep and Year 6 sessions and then catch up with other children’s teachers at the BBQ. Meetings will be in your child’s classroom.
This year these will coincide with a family BBQ at the Upper Campus and children’s disco for school aged children in the MacKillop Centre open from 4:45pm-6:30pm. Sausages will be $2 each. Sausages, bread, cooked onion, sauce and cordial will be available from 5:30-6:30. Please bring any other drinks, nibblies your family would like. Please RSVP by Friday, 8th Feb for catering purposes.

THE ST MARY'S WAY
Our school has adopted these six positive learning behaviours – Respectful, Inclusive, Safe, Exceptional, Understanding and Prayerful. They are taught in the classrooms and in the playground and are at the very essence of the St Mary’s Way – what makes St Mary’s special.
BLESSING FOR YEAR SIX SCHOOL LEADERS
Spirit of God, you guide us and light our way.
Bless our Year six students as they take on the role as leaders of St Mary’s School.
Bless our community as we encourage and support them in their leadership role.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP MASS
Our Opening School Mass will be held in the Church, on Tuesday, 12th February at 9:30am. At this Mass all Year 6 students will be presented with their School Leaders badges. Year 6 students are required to wear their formal uniform. Parents and extended families are invited to share this special occasion. Morning tea will follow in Assisi Place.
FAMILY MASS
Please join us the Parish’s next Family Mass on 10 March at the 8:30am Sunday Mass. Please note the new date due to a very special Filipino celebration being held on the 24 February. This is a great community celebration with readings and songs chosen with children in mind. We are looking for families who would like to sing, read the readings, carry the offertory and be welcomers. If your family would like to do any of these ministries please contact Sharon Young at school or phone 0429 921 200.
