25.01.2022 St Mary and St Mina's is blessed beyond measure with staff who not only show exceptional professionalism and expertise but offer an unconditional service. Whilst Semester breaks are for recouping and re-energising for the next half of the year, Mrs Nicola instigated a Senior School beautification project. Mrs Nicola collaborated with her vast network system to carry out works across all areas of the senior campus. From cleaning, painting to repairs - no job was too big or sm...all. However, most notable is the collaborative atmosphere of love and unity that this project manifested. Students both past and present put their hands together to unite in a cause of pride and spirit. The assistance, which ranged from labour, time to generous donations was a testament to the overwhelming love and pride that St Mary and St Mina exudes. The final results stand as a physical manifestation of hands united in love; and the students' faces were a delight to witness. Of special mention: - Bunnings Warehouse Kingsgrove, for the donations of paint, tools and gift cards. - Mr Youssef Farag from Always Fresh Carpet Cleaning for the deep cleaning and floor polishing services he so humbly donated. - Mr Mina Hanna from Sydney Advanced Cleaning for the cleaning of our outdoor hard surfaces and steam cleaning of classroom carpet, also donating his services. - Exodus Youth Works - Iworks program for sending committed and dedicated workers to help with the vast range of jobs And lastly and most importantly to our own, amazingly generous and kind Mrs Nicola whose vision and execution of this immense task was the reason for its success. Mrs Nicola's love for her school and students is made abundantly apparent in the days and nights she willingly sacrificed in order to serve, in truth, her students. Without her overseeing, the initiative would not have been completed to this high standard.

24.01.2022 The statistics are OUT and no words can express our excitement and appreciation for our talented and dedicated team of students and teachers @ SMSM.

Congratulations to all for displaying unprecedented... grace and resilience against the adversities to rise to the TOP. Thanks be to God who has blessed our college in abundance.

15.01.2022 BEST ENGLISH SUCCESS RATE IN 20 YEARS The SMH rank all HSC subject departments based on their success rate which is the percentage of Band 6's achieved across the number of entries for each faculty. However, to be published as part of the official standing, there must be 20+ entries within the faculty. In 2020, the English Advanced and Extension subjects achieved an impressive 50% success rate which puts them in 13th place in the state - unofficially. ... We received a call from the Sydney Morning Herald this morning to congratulate us on our wonderful achievements and to explain the processes in detail. This was a surprise that we appreciated greatly. These results are a testament to our courageous Year 12 cohort who trusted in their English teachers to facilitate their learning and to the dynamic and inspirational teachers: Ms Nguyen and Mrs David under the guidance and leadership of Mrs Mikhail, who are always pushing the boundaries to challenge and extend students to achieve well beyond the demands of the HSC.

03.01.2022 Today was a day of celebration at SMSM primary campus!! Today was a living example of what a community can do when it unites behind a common cause, and a wonderful one at that Parents, current and past students, staff, siblings and community members showed up, rolled up their sleeves and got their hands very very dirty setting up classrooms in preparation for the secondary students next year. It's true that many hands do make light work and even more true that loving hearts and serving spirits make anything possible. What a privilege to serve amongst so many giants. On behalf of the entire parent body, I thank you all
