At St Mary’s, we are committed to creating a culturally safe environment where every individual’s cultural identity is positively recognized and celebrated. We believe that cultural safety involves more than just tolerance; it is about fostering a space where shared respect, knowledge, and understanding thrive.
In a culturally safe environment, no one's cultural identity is ignored, challenged, or denied. Instead, we focus on empowering individuals by ensuring they feel respected and valued, which enables them to contribute meaningfully and be their true selves without fear or hesitation.
Through our dedication to cultural safety, we aim to build a community where everyone feels included and appreciated, enriching the collective experience with diverse perspectives and backgrounds.

Zero Tolerance to Racism
At St Mary’s, we uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, firmly believing that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment where discriminatory attitudes and behaviours have no place. Our zero-tolerance stance means that any form of racism is promptly addressed and met with appropriate actions. We actively promote awareness, education, and open dialogue to foster understanding and solidarity within our school community.
