Welcome

At Maris Stella, each member of our school family is encouraged to shine their own unique light. Meaning “Star of the Sea”, Maris Stella focuses on the holistic development of our girls, educating academically, morally, spiritually, as well as physically.  Our strong school spirit and family involvement makes it a caring, happy place for our girls to grow and learn.  We encourage service to the wider community which is evidenced in the many outreach projects we support.

Welcome to Maris Stella Catholic Girls School

As the newly appointed principal of this 125-year-old institution, I ask myself “Why does Maris Stella stand tall on the Berea?”

The answer is clear – our beautiful school is a beacon of faith, excellence and empowerment. For over a century, Maris Stella has nurtured countless young women who go on to change the world. For the better. Grounded in strong Christian values, our pupils graduate with confidence, hope, and a deep commitment to justice and inclusivity.

I welcome your daughter to experience our campus and experience the warmth and spirt that defines Maris Stella. Here, your daughter will thrive in a caring community of dedicated teachers who inspire, guide and challenge her to find her own voice. As a girls-only school, we celebrate the unique strengths and potential of young women, providing them with an environment where they can truly thrive!

We look forward to welcoming your family to the Maris Stella community.

Stephen Ireland
