Meet the principal, Megan Pearce
Welcome to St Mary’s School, Charleville. St Mary's is a Prep to Year 6 Catholic co-educational inclusive learning community with over 150 students.
I started as Principal in 2025 and have previously held roles including Principal, Assistant Principal, Learning Support Teacher, and classroom teacher across various schools in both metropolitan and remote areas of Queensland. I have also served as an Education Officer in the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office during 2010 and 2011.
Having grown up in Charleville and being a past student of St Mary’s School, I am excited to return to the community and lead the school.
I believe every child has the right to become literate, socially equipped and emotionally balanced. I believe every child is worth whatever it takes and can succeed in their learning. I believe maximum learning occurs when significant engagement takes place between the student, teacher, parents and caregivers.
At St Mary’s, we have a caring, expert teacher in every classroom committed to knowing each student personally, and who is ready to work with families for the benefit of every child. Our educators are skilled in all aspects of teaching students the way they learn best. They create personalised learning programs for each learner.
Every day in the classroom counts and when families align with the school’s ethos, values and expectations at home, we see happy, thriving, and courageous young people who graduate ready to take on the challenges of high school and life.
As a principal, I have high expectations of myself, the teaching team, students and parents.
My goal is to continue to inspire and equip our educators with the best strategies, so they continue to build their expertise and increase learning confidence and achievement for every student.
I enjoy spending time with our students, and I am often seen in classrooms, on the playground and at local community events.
If you are considering enrolling your child at St Mary’s School, I invite you to come and see our beautiful school. I would love to show you around and I look forward to meeting you personally.
