Known as one of Western Australia's top schools, St Mary's is a school that prides itself on looking the best, even if that means only endorsing those students who achieve the highest marks, receive the most awards, or get into the most prestigious universities. This often results in the neglect of lower achieving students who are never recognized and may actually require the extra attention. Ironically, it is sometimes these lower achieving students who the school asks to return to school to speak publicly when they win Olympic medals, become lawyers or discover new species. It is then customary for St Mary's to look upon these people with pride, exclaiming, "We created this!", when in reality they did no such thing.
