History:
St Mary鈥檚 Hastings, originally named Immaculate Conception, was blessed and opened in 1917. However, it did not begin to operate as a school until 1919, after the arrival of the Sisters of St Joseph, opening with 11 pupils. St Mary鈥檚 began as a school with one building, the current library, which served as two classrooms. Over time with refurbishments of the buildings and growth in the area, the school has seen our sister schools, St Josephs, Crib Point, and St Brendan鈥檚, Somerville grow from the original small school. St Mary鈥檚 proudly serves the community of Hastings and surrounding areas.
