Bloom 2025

We warmly invite students, families and the wider St Mary’s College community to experience Bloom 2025.

Join us on Wednesday 26 November for an inspiring spring afternoon on the College Green, where the Senior School Art Exhibition, Sustainability Fair and Christmas Makers’ Market come together in a colourful celebration of student creativity, innovation and community spirit.

Event highlights include student showcases from Years 7–12 in Visual Arts, Design and Technology, along with live outdoor performances in Music, Drama and Dance. Enjoy student-led fashion shows, sustainability pop-ups and a range of interactive tours and hands-on workshops.

Guests can also take part in Junior School craft activities, hunt for hidden gems at secondhand stalls, browse handmade gifts and festive seasonal treats, and indulge in delicious food and refreshments.

All funds raised will directly support our College garden.

Come and support our students as they proudly share their work with the community. Discover how they’re planting seeds of change, cultivating beauty, flourishing in the arts and blooming together in more ways than one!
