Secondary education is evolving rapidly, balancing the opportunities of emerging technologies with the enduring value of proven teaching practices. At Mt Maria College Petrie, our 2026 theme reflects this commitment: building on strong foundations while making intentional choices about technology’s role in learning.

Our focus remains clear—student formation and pathways for success. We nurture confident, creative individuals through a holistic approach that integrates academic excellence, wellbeing, and faith. Every student is supported to discover their strengths and aspirations, with tailored pathways that include university preparation, vocational education, and real‑world partnerships.

These opportunities ensure graduates leave equipped for life beyond school, ready to contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Human connection sits at the heart of this vision. Authentic relationships between teachers and students foster engagement and resilience, while co‑curricular programs and leadership opportunities deepen belonging and character development. Technology is embraced as a tool to extend learning, never to replace the personal guidance that shapes values and purpose.

 In 2026, we reaffirm our goal: to inspire futures through formation, choice, and opportunity— anchored in Marist values and driven by a belief that every student can flourish.
