Active and effective participation in Australian society depends on the ability to speak, listen, read, view and write with confidence, purpose and enjoyment in a wide range of contexts. 
At St Mary's we aim to ensure success in literacy for all students. 

Our Literacy Program aims to develop in students:

  • The ability to speak, listen, read, view, compare, research and write effectively with competence, confidence, purpose and enjoyment in a wide range of context.
  • Knowledge of the ways in which language varies according to context, purpose, audience and content, and the capacity to apply the knowledge.
  • A knowledge of the linguistic patterns used to construct different texts, and the capacity to apply this knowledge, especially in writing.
  •  A broad knowledge of a range of texts and a capacity to relate this to aspects of contemporary society and personal experience.
  • The capacity to discuss and analyze texts and language critically
  • Develop in students the confidence and competence to meet the demands of school, employment and further education.
  • Foster in students the ability to use texts to explore ideas and to think critically about their world and the global community.
  • Empower students to evoke feelings, to form and convey ideas, to inform, to discuss, to persuade, to entertain and to argue a point of view.
