    Academic advantage starts in the classroom

    Fri 22 Nov 2024

    An education focused on girls’ development prioritises academic excellence, creating a unique space where students are empowered to pursue their interests freely, without limitations. At St Mary’s, students often say they’ve never questioned whether STEM, traditionally male-dominated sports, or leadership roles “were for them” because, in this environment, every opportunity is reserved for girls. This culture nurtures a powerful sense of confidence and ambition; students learn that every subject, sport, and leadership role is open to them. This results in a school experience that not only breaks academic boundaries but also removes societal barriers, providing the foundation for a generation of changemakers ready to lead on the global stage.
