Saint: St Bernadette
Bernadette was born in Lourdes, France in 1844, to a very poor family. Bernadette was out collecting sticks for firewood when Our Lady first appeared to her. Over the next year she appeared 18 times to Bernadette. The great shrine of Lourdes which was built where Mary appeared has been a place of many miracles and cures of the sick.
All students are assigned to a House and during the year a number of House activities take place.

Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are.
Life, love and compassion
Together we do stand
with devotion and conviction
Strong our traditions last
Our Blessed Mother guides our hearts
So that we remember to share God's love
Mercy is not bleak
Here it protects
Where warmth of friendships grow.
Mercy Wisdom
St Mary's we are.....
We stand and always praise Thy name
To heaven lend our hearts and hands.
Wisdom from within,
Pride and loyalty
As one eternally.
Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are....
