Senior school:
The co-curricular programme is sponsored by the Parents’ Association.
The Co-Curricular programme is an essential part of how St Mary’s DSG prepares our young ladies for their futures. Every Wednesday morning students are learning from real-world experiences, formal talks and grade workshops to prepare themselves for the pressures of the greater world outside of school. The unique objective for each grade level moves students through a gradual progression of learning about their identity, community, leadership, and purpose.
