About Us

St Mary’s College is the oldest continuously operating girls’ school in South Australia. A Reception to Year 12 Catholic Dominican College in the heart of Adelaide, we provide a nurturing, purpose-driven education where every student is seen and supported to grow into their full potential.

While we are steeped in tradition, we are not traditional. We understand the challenges and opportunities facing girls today and intentionally design learning environments that empower students to find their voice - and to use it. Girls at St Mary’s are encouraged to become confident and courageous learners - unafraid to lead, challenge norms, and speak up for what matters.
