St Mary's College Podcast

In 2019, St Mary's College won the 'Most Listened to Podcast - School Life' Award for their podcast 150 Years of Stories.

Over the course of the year the School Life Podcast featured a number of episodes dedicated to those students and old scholars, their recollections of their time at St Mary's, and how it has influenced their lives into the future.

Congratulations to our students who were actively involved in the podcast project throughout the year. Thank you to James Meston and the team at Arch D Radio for their work with our students, and allowing the voice of our Old Scholars, past teachers and current students to be heard, by the wider community.

Produced by James Meston with St Mary's students Cat, Taite, Jordy, Abbey & Zoe.
