St Mary’s Primary School is a mixed, independent, mainstream, Roman Catholic primary school in Warners Bay, New South Wales. It has over 360 students enrolled and caters to pupils from kindergarten to Year 6.
St Mary’s Primary School was founded in 1959 by the Sisters of St Joseph. The school still has strong links with the parish and works hard to provide a Catholic education for all its students. The school is a member of a system of schools in the Catholic Diocese of Armidale.
