Welcome to Virgin Mary Boys National School
A note from the principal:
​We know how important an education is to every child so you can expect nothing but the best from our teachers when delivering that education. Whether you're new to the Virgin Mary or returning this year, we'd like to welcome you. Please see below for a snapshot of information that can be found across our website. We look forward to the year ahead!
