Santa Maria College is a Catholic secondary school for girls, founded by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, in 1904. Our educational endeavours seek to nurture a search for truth, a spirit of inquiry and a love of learning. Because we are a Catholic school, the life and teachings of Jesus energise our community and permeate all that we do. The parable of the Good Samaritan with its spirit of love, service and compassion gives a particular emphasis to the way we live out the Gospel challenge. We strive to build an atmosphere of trust and hope where the individual is accepted, affirmed and encouraged to grow to their full potential. Engaging with our surrounding culture, we develop a critical social awareness and a reverence for all life and responsibility towards all creation. We foster a commitment to the transmission of the Catholic faith and its religious traditions.

We dare to do as much as we are able.
