Student Life
What else does St. Mary’s Secondary School have to offer students?
St. Mary's Secondary School offers students a wide range of extra-curricular activities that encourages leadership qualities, self-esteem, helps develop friendships, and lead to a sense of belonging within our catholic school community. When students get involved in extra-curricular activities, they develop a sense of pride in themselves and their school. The resulting school spirit is evident in the level of participation and positive attitude displayed by St. Mary's students on a daily basis, both in and out of the classroom.

If you are interested in starting a new club, speak to Mr. Joly for more information.
