Ours is a school of heart.

A Catholic, independent, co-educational primary school where Christian beliefs, morals and values shape everything we do.

What we believe

Christian values, in everything — classroom, playground, and sports field.

Sancta Maria is a Catholic Independent School that incorporates Christian beliefs, morals and values in all we do. We believe in positive reinforcement, restorative justice, and the sanctity of each person — and our school provides a loving environment in which learners can develop holistically.

Religious education

Faith woven into the timetable.

From the youngest learner to the oldest, Religious Education is part of the daily rhythm — Bible study, big questions, and time set aside to worship together.

  • Religious Education lessons for Grades R – 7
  • Weekly assemblies and hymn singing
  • Mass for Grades 4 – 7 several times a year
  • Open to learners of every religious background

Community care

A family that serves.

We strive to create a family-oriented environment with strong pastoral and spiritual care. Our pupils take part in community projects throughout the year — modelling Jesus's call to serve those who are less fortunate, and to care for the world he created.
