Faith Friends
At St Mary’s, we aim to instil in our pupils a profound sense of responsibility, compassion, and empathy, rooted in their faith and Catholic Social Teaching. We believe that by nurturing their spirituality and leadership skills at an early age, we are shaping them into future leaders who will carry the light of faith into the world. Together, we are building a strong foundation of faith that will guide our students throughout their lives.
The Faith Friends are integral part of our Catholic life and will be role models leading our school in faith, love and spirituality.
