Mary McConnel School (MMS) is a joint initiative of the Anglican Church of Australia and the Uniting Church in Australia. It is operated by EDUCANG Limited, along with Forest Lake College, The FLC International Centre, The Lakes College and The Springfield College.

The Mary McConnel School provides an alternative educational program for students who, due to a high-support learning need, have difficulties accessing conventional education programs.

The School is named in honour of Mary McConnel [1] who founded [2] the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane in 1878.

The Head of the Mary McConnel School is based at the College Avenue Campus of Forest Lake College and also manages the Mary McConnel operations at the Alpine Place Campus of Forest Lake College and at The Springfield College.
