In the spirit of kindness

Kindness is a value that has become a pillar in our grade throughout the many years we have been together. It is a value that is often underestimated and underappreciated in our society. In the spirit of this, we have chosen to focus on kindness as our theme for 2019.

Together we aim for everyone in the College community to be accepted. We want to ensure that the College is the best it can be, by embodying the true St Mary’s spirit of kindness and compassion. Starting off the year with 'Galentine’s Day', we wanted to show that all are supported and loved within the school community.

This year the prefects have chosen two charities to continue this theme with one being Share the Dignity. This Australian charity works to help women in domestic violence or homeless situations have access to clean sanitary products. As a mostly all-girls college we believe it is important to empower and help women who are less fortunate. The second charity is Rare Cancer Australia, an Australian-based charity, which works to raise funds and awareness for the many types of rare cancers.

We believe it is of vital importance, that as a College community, we continue the hard-fought legacy of previous generations of St Mary’s women.
