St Mary's Primary School Rydalmere

Education Directory introduces St Mary's Primary School Rydalmere in Rydalmere, for all your education and learning needs.

By sending your children to St Mary's, you have openly and at personal cost affirmed your belief in the basic Christian values of Catholic education in the Diocese of Parramatta. These values form the basis of our mission statement for both our school and the wider diocese.

At St Mary's, we aim to create an environment and an atmosphere in which the Catholic faith is fostered, and in which each child's potential can be reliased and developed.

Education is seen as a process in which children are challenged to use and develop their skills. All children do not grow at the same rate nor do they learn in the same way. The home and school, therefore, share a common aim and purpose - to help each child grown into a well adjusted, independent individual.

As a Catholic School, we proclaim Christian values that highlight the importance of prayer and parish involvement. We value the significance of family worship at Sunday Mass, liturgies and sacramental programs. Above all, we believe in God our loving Father, Jesus his Son, and Mary our Heavenly mother, the patroness of our school and parish community.

Our School Motto is CARE - Care Always, Respect Everyone. This motto is upheld by staff, parents and students. It forms the basis for all of our daily interactions. In developing our Behaviour Management Policy we aimed to keep the CARE motto at its heart. We believe that in doing this we are being true to the Gospel values of love, understanding and respect.

In selecting St Mary's School for your child, you have chosen a Catholic education that will support and uphold your family's Catholic values. Your commitment to your child's education and faith development is vital in supporting the learning partnership between school, parish and home.
