Our School

Spirituality

Being a Christian-based school, we at St Mary’s pride ourselves in creating a nurturing environment for your daughter to grow spiritually.

Service Before Self and God Before All

Staying true to our motto ‘Service Before Self and God Before All‘ we encourage our girls to cultivate a healthy spiritual life by participating in one or more of the following:

  • God Girls’ Bible Study Group every Tuesday
  • Bible Fun Club every Monday in Primary School
  • Boarders’ Weekly Fellowship
  • Chapel and assembly services for all grades throughout the week
  • Christian Fellowship (CF) every Thursday
  • Grades 10 and 11 Exploring Faith course
  • Holy Communion twice a term
  • Kids praises for Junior Primary
  • Weekly RE lessons in Primary School

How does spirituality fit in Junior Primary?

We say grace every day before snack time and the girls enjoy a scheduled lesson each week. The girls in the Junior Primary have a weekly Chapel service each Tuesday and Assembly on a Wednesday.

Pastoral opportunities in High School

Confirmation classes from Grade 10. Christian fellowship meetings; God girls (Bible study group and prayer group); 3 Chapel services every week; Outreach and Community Projects. There are also Chaplain’s lessons for the Grade 8 – 10s.
