About St Mary’s Primary School, Myrtleford.

St. Mary’s is driven by a deep belief that every student is capable of achieving success in their learning. A high priority is given to building and maintaining positive and caring relationships between staff, students and parents. St. Mary’s strives to develop a strong collegial culture of mutual trust and support between parents and the school staff. Parents are considered partners in the promotion of student learning and wellbeing.
