What is your proudest moment/favourite thing to happen to you at St Mary’s?
I’m proud to be part of the staff team at St Marys over the many years I have worked alongside 8 different wonderful teachers, always working together to share ideas and to develop learning, happiness, and an independence in the children’s year at kinder.
What one thing would you say to a parent thinking about enrolling their child at St Mary’s?
St Marys has a great reputation in the Brighton area and it’s a wonderful place and a great start for learning. We can make your child’s year at St Marys special with lots of fun happiness and amazing learning days ahead.
