Mt Maria College Petrie – Our Past, Our Present, Our Future
As a strong Marist Community and a member of Marist Schools Australia, we recognise that student and parent engagement is vital to successful outcomes. To achieve this, we remain responsive to the ever-changing needs of society by ensuring our curriculum and learning extension, through our extra-curricular offerings, promote excellence and equity and provide a wide range of pathways that motivate and challenge students to reach their potential in all they do.
Our teachers are dedicated to the mission of education, and through strong collaborative practices, achieve excellence in learning and teaching. Similarly, our focus on community wellbeing and strong Catholic Christian values is paramount to our success.
Being a school of around 490 students makes us small enough to know each student individually and big enough to offer a breadth of opportunities including the completion of VET qualifications, ATAR pathways, completing university subjects in Years 11 and/or 12, TAFE@School programs, schoolbased apprenticeships and traineeships, work experience opportunities along with leadership opportunities from Year 7 onwards.
Our holistic Catholic education develops the whole child, one who has the skills and disposition to make a difference in their world, continues to promote social justice and has dignity and respect for all.
