As a Catholic co- educational school across the adolescent years in the inner city of Melbourne, St Mary’s can really be a place that fosters much needed qualities of diversity, inclusion and where we can foster our belief that self efficacy, confidence and worth is found in being welcomed as our selves. Opportunities for tailored learning, leadership and extracurricular endeavours foster the chance for each member of our community to prosper as their authentic best self, possessing a deep sense of shared identity and belonging without becoming the corporate product which values reputational branding over agency, voice and character.
A school's risk rating is a key factor in determining the evidence required for a student's visa application, making it a crucial point of reference.
For example, if a school has a Level 2 risk rating, applicants will be subject to greater restrictions than in the past and will be required to provide more documentary evidence, such as proof of English language proficiency and financial capacity.
