School Performance Information Measures 2022
St
St
Having celebrated our centenary the previous year, 2022 marked the beginning of an exciting new century of discovery engaging hearts and igniting curious minds. Escalating COVID-19 restrictions slowed our plans in the first half of the year but we were not deterred.
With increasing public health and social distancing measures impacting our usual way of operating, we reimagined our approach to our offerings, particularly with our vibrant cocurricular programs. We were courageous in finding ways for our students to continue to flourish when they were surrounded by uncertainty and were not permitted to gather in person.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to the staff, parents and wider St Mary’s community who worked together to keep our community safe as we navigated COVID-19 community transmission. I commend our students for the way in which they accepted and embraced our modified ways of operating and persevered with mask wearing requirements to keep everyone healthy.
The Class of 2022 demonstrated curiosity and confidence and this was reflected in their exceptional results. They performed strongly across all subjects and the academic depth of the group was reflected in St Mary’s median ATAR of 93.57. This year was also an impressive one for our Elevate students, who collectively earned 44 Vocational Education and Training Certificates throughout 2022 across a range of industries.
Our school ethos is to provide a respectful and supportive school where students can thrive personally and academically. Each student has a myriad of experiences, challenges, and successes during her time with us. Academic testing and results are an integral part of the learning journey but they are only one measure of progress and achievement.
Our Mission
School communities are diverse and complex and expectations to deliver are high. Our supportive and inspirational environment has served us well throughout the pandemic and I am confident that it will continue to do so as we forge ahead into our exciting future.

The National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It tests the types of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life. The tests cover skills in reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation and numeracy.
Providing advice about career pathways, subject selection and scholarships at St Mary’s and for tertiary education is important for all students in Years 7 to 12. Many academic staff provide support for these conversations and individual career counselling and advice is also available through our Career Advisor.
Students and parents can seek advice regarding:
• Individual career pathway counselling/subject selection.
• Application process through TISC for university and application processes for Notre Dame Universities, TAFE, interstate and overseas universities.
• Early offer application processes for universities, including support in direct applications to each university.
• Alternative Entry Pathways for university.
• Interview skills and preparation, including interviews for medicine and dentistry, scholarships, and overseas university interviews; for example, advice on Oxford and Cambridge interview processes.
• Scholarship application and references.
• Personal statements and resume writing.
• Work experience.
In 2022, we offered Year 9 students two ‘career taster’ days to gain an insight into a range of study areas at university. The first day, students visited Curtin University, sampling a variety of courses and workshops. On the second day, our Career Advisor presented the Coaching Young People for Success workshop. This was an opportunity for students to start thinking about their interests, strengths and aspirations for the future as well as creating their first resumé.
In Year 10, Careers and Finance is a compulsory subject for students. This course focuses on career development, subject selection, the organisation of work experience and basic financial literacy and money management skills. All Year 10 students attend one week of work experience at the end of Term 2, to gain a valuable insight into the world of work. One-on-one subject selection counselling appointments are offered to all Year 10 students.
In conjunction with the Alumni Relations Officer, we also host a series of Career Insight breakfasts for Years 10, 11 and 12 students. Each session is dedicated to a specific career area, and we invite our Old Girls to talk about their university pathways and careers. An informal discussion with students and Old Girls is an important part of these events.
In 2022 we offered the following activities:

While classroom instruction forms the foundation of education, it is equally important to recognise and value the learning opportunities that occur beyond the boundaries of a classroom.
Student attendance is taken regularly throughout the school day. In Senior School, the roll is marked at the beginning of each morning and recorded on the school database from which the Attendance Officer generates reports to compare students marked absent to absentee notification received from parents. Any discrepancies are followed up by an SMS to parents to confirm the student’s absence. A further unexplained absence throughout the day is followed up directly with the student, classroom teacher and parents.
Sign in / sign out kiosks around the school directly update the database and allow staff to see the location of students.
In Junior School, attendance is checked twice per day. The morning roll is taken during Form period and the afternoon roll is taken after lunch by the classroom teacher. The roll is also adjusted throughout the day as students sign in / sign out using the online kiosk.
Wellbeing encompasses the physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of a student’s life at school. We have embedded programs into each year group, from Kindergarten to Year 6, which aim to develop strong and resilient girls.
We have a team approach to pastoral care across Junior School with our classroom teachers the key providers of social and emotional support.
We use the Magic Coat program as a tool to help the girls problem solve, feel safe and manage their emotions appropriately so that they have good mental health and wellbeing. The program helps them learn to take control and responsibility for their world and create positive relationships with those around them. It teaches the girls how to manage any concerns by guiding them on how to understand their feelings.
We also use restorative practice to encourage behaviour that is supportive and respectful. The onus is on each student to be truly accountable for their behaviour and to repair any harm caused to others because of their actions and to restore relationships.
Another important part of our wellbeing program is protective behaviours. These are taught throughout Junior School and we use the Keeping Safe curriculum from South Australia.
Outside the classroom, we have a variety of sporting and social programs that engage our students such as the Ignite Award. This is a WA based self-development program for young people aged 9 to 13 years. The Award connects children to community through volunteering, improves wellbeing through exercise and develops self-esteem through learning new skills and taking part in an adventure. In 2022, 25 Junior School students received awards ranging from Levels 1 to 4. Our parents are an important part of our approach to wellbeing and our Bonds and Bridges program is designed to offer information and opportunities for informed discussion. In 2022, sessions were offered on protective behaviours, Tuning into Teens’, preparing for physical changes, navigating social and emotional changes and a dedicated session for fathers.
In Year 4, we hold a Mother Daughter camp at our Metricup campus. The focus is on connecting and creating and it a special time for strengthening mother daughter bonds.
The wellbeing of our senior students is given paramount importance alongside the pursuit of personal excellence.
One of our key pastoral care channels is our vertical or multi-year Link groups. 2022 began with COVID-19 restrictions on students gathering in person and this meant a temporary change to meeting in year-based levels rather than Link groups. Once restrictions eased, Links returned to the vertical format which allows for ‘big sister’ mentorship to flourish across the year groups and students to form strong bonds with girls from different ages within their House.
The second half of the year saw the welcome return to whole school assemblies, full year group Chapels and year group meetings some of which had been delivered in a modified format in a reduced, online capacity.
In recognition of changing students’ needs, 2022 saw the restructure of our Wellbeing team. The Dean of Students position evolved into Deputy Principal (Students and Wellbeing) and is supported by the new positions of Associate Dean of Students (Years 7 to 9 and Years 10 to 12). These additional support roles work closely with the wider Wellbeing team that includes the Associate Dean of Wellbeing, Heads of Year, Psychology Services, Link teachers, nursing staff and the School Chaplain. Together, these key staff members plan and implement wellbeing programs across Senior School.
We actively engage parents and work in partnership to support their daughters through open lines of communication, workshops, presentations, information evenings and parent-teacher meetings.
In 2022, we held the following education sessions:
• Author Madonna King presented her latest book L Platers.
• The Associate Dean of Wellbeing conducted parent and staff workshops Tuning into Teens.
• Cyber safety was presented by ySafe.
• Author Claire Eaton presented to Year 7 parents on supporting your daughter’s transition to Senior School.
Recognising the diverse needs of our students, our Psychology Services team plays an important role in offering specialised support to promote good mental health, emotional wellbeing and academic success.
During weekly pastoral care time, Senior School staff and students unpacked the 2022 signature character strengths of bravery, curiosity, beauty and excellence and leadership through Assembly presentations and by working together in Link groups to explore the importance of these strengths.
Our boarders live in Anne Symington House in the heart of our Karrinyup campus. Our focus is on pastoral care, wellbeing initiatives and strong academic support.
2022 was a year like no other with the pandemic restrictions requiring flexibility and tolerance from students, families and staff.
Creating a strong sense of family across our boarding community is very important and our staff and student leaders are fundamental to this. The diverse skills of our boarding staff were important in supporting our students throughout the year. Our Year 12 student leaders were also excellent role models and generated a very positive energy throughout the year for the younger students.
Providing opportunities for our boarders to build relationships, enjoy life outside school hours and learn new skills was a strong focus especially after the COVID-19 limitations. We continued our tradition of themed dinners which were relaxed and fun for staff and students alike. A wide range of day trips and activities were offered on the weekends along with numerous activities with our brother school, Hale School, and other independent schools.
Being part of the wider community and giving back is another important feature of boarding life. In 2022, our boarding students and their families raised substantial funds for several charities including The Royal Flying Doctor Service, Breast Care Nurses WA and the Kyle Andrews’ Foundation.
Our annual Cakes from the Country event and Christmas in June dinner gave our parents an opportunity to supplement the students’ fundraising efforts.
Beyond Boarding is our program that provides life skills for our boarders. Our girls had sessions on health and nutrition, staying safe online and Standing Strong ran sessions on dealing with anxiety and developing confidence. Our Year 8 and 9 students also learned self-defence skills from Akka Martial Arts. We continued to offer the Responsible Service of Alcohol and barista courses and also added the Teacher of Swimming certification so that our students can take up paid employment in their home towns.
We introduced a new transition program for our Year 7 boarders joining us in 2023. Online sessions plus takeaway activities were organised prior to their formal school orientation. This successfully allowed students to become familiar with key staff and other students and ask questions before moving to Anne Symington House.
Our 24-hour medical care service continued throughout the year with a team of qualified nursing staff, a weekly visiting GP and a physiotherapist.
Our Boarding Academic Support Coordinator continued to work with our team of tutors to support the students each evening with homework. One-to-one and small group tutoring was also provided and the excellent WACE results of our 2022 graduates is a testament to the strength of this service.
In 2022, our full-time equivalent teaching staff numbered 166.68 and full-time equivalent non teaching staff numbered 128.14. Allowing for the addition of three new Associate Dean positions, staff numbers are similar to 2021.
Staff attendance was high for 2022 despite absenteeism at 2.83% being higher than previous years. The higher rate of staff absenteeism is attributed to COVID-19 sickness. Staff were given access to additional leave known as Special COVID Leave.
Staff retention continues to be high, however a new trend is emerging with ‘lifestyle change’ now the leading factor for resignations.
