St Mark’s School was founded in 1917. Our school provides a world class, high quality education, inspiring boys and girls to develop a lifelong love of learning.  We pride ourselves on being a happy community where high standards,  a family atmosphere and the nurturing of each individual child, all play a key role.  St Mark’s offers a broad, global curriculum which allows all our children the chance to shine.

We are proud to be an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP).   Promoting international awareness in our young people ensures they develop the skills, attitudes and knowledge they will need to participate in an increasingly global society.

Our teachers are committed to helping our children achieve their potential in a safe and caring environment.  Small class sizes means that students are encouraged to ask questions and explore different points of view.  We also challenge, encourage and support them in whatever the next steps in their learning might be.

Offering a world-class, high quality education for children from Preschool to Year 8, our school is known for our children’s happy and successful learning in a co-educational and multicultural environment.   Our curriculum is rich in academic, spiritual, social, cultural and sporting opportunities which lay strong foundations for successful learning.
