Strategic Goals 2022 – Jennifer Oaten
Santa Maria College is a vibrant school with a growing local presence and reputation. We are a school that continually reflects on how we can continue to improve to ensure the best possible outcomes for students, staff and our community. The work of the College is guided by our Strategic Plan.
The development of our Strategic Plan commenced in July 2020 with ‘Create the Change’, our consultation phase where we sought input from our community. Consultation with staff, students, parents, College Advisory Council and Alumni occurred.
Our thinking was future-focussed yet ensuring our Catholic and Mercy ethos remained central to all we do.
We developed contemporary Mission and Vision Statements, redefined our Mercy values and established the five pillars that form our strategic framework.
The five pillars
Our Strategic Plan 2021-2025, which we launched in 2021, can be viewed HERE.
The next step was to establish the strategic opportunities to be incorporated into each pillar.
The College Leadership Team determines the priorities each year from our Strategic Plan to guide our work.Â
