St Mary's Anglican Girls' School

St Mary's Anglican Girls' School is an independent day and boarding school for over 1400 girls from Kindergarten to Year 12. The school is located close to the ocean in the northern suburb of Karrinyup, in Perth, Western Australia, and, during term time, is home to 190 boarders. Founded in 1921 in West Perth, St Mary's moved to Karrinyup in the 1960s. The school has a proud tradition of providing a rich and rewarding education for young women to live, learn and grow. The school strives to ensure each student is nurtured as an individual and feels she is an important member of the St Mary's family. St Mary's has a range of excellent facilities including the Lady Wardle Performing Arts Centre, the Lady Treatt Music and Dance Centre, Dannatt Hall for sport and the Sir Thomas Wardle Swimming Pool Complex. In 2008 St Mary's opened a 100 acre property in Metricup, near Margaret River, for student camps and outdoor education.
