About Us
St Mary's is a Catholic primary school encompassing levels Prep to Year 6. The school is situated in Ararat and offers educational services to children drawn from many parts of the district. A good number of children live locally while others bus in from surrounding rural areas. The families of our students come from a variety of socio-economic background and family structures. Our school welcomes Catholic students and those who seek the values of our Catholic tradition. St Mary's originated as a result of the 1850s Gold Rush and in 1889 the Brigidine Sisters took over the running of the school. A new school was built in 1963 with additions and refurbishments completed over the last 10 years. Today St Mary's offers modern and refurbished learning spaces and playground facilities.
