Students who have a connection to and feel safe in their environment are more likely to have good attendance and experience academic success.  At Mt Maria it is a priority for us that students are provided with a safe environment that they can take pride in and where they can develop their confidence, social connection, and purpose.  Below are some of the activities and resources provided at Mt Maria that supports students' connection to the school and environmental wellbeing: ​

  • Well-developed behaviour management and anti-bullying policies that are supported by all staff.  Read more about what we do here: Mt Maria College Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policies
