About our school
Our vision is to provide a holistic Catholic education in the Marist tradition that promotes excellence and equity, and inspires, motivates and challenges students in all that they do.
We strive to empower our students to be confident and creative individuals who are successful, life-long learners, who actively contribute to the transformation of our world through example, service and leadership.
Mt Maria College Petrie provides access to the Australian Curriculum and the QCAA Senior Curriculum, as well as Vocational Education and Training.
Our subject learning pathways are designed to build knowledge, skills and confidence for further studies in chosen specialties.
Our Pastoral sphere of the College is designed to embody the nurturing ethos of faith, compassion, service and community rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ through the guidance of our patron saints.
Pastoral Care extends beyond academic achievement to encompass the holistic wellbeing of students. It fosters a supportive environment where students feel valued, heard and understood and cultivates character, resilience and empathy.
We champion leadership formation across years through a Student Representative Council.
We provide opportunities for service in various aspects of the College including Care to Cook, Breakfast Club, Meet and Eat Breaky, and various fundraising initiatives.
