2025 HIGH ACHIEVERS ASSEMBLY

Today, we gathered to celebrate the achievements of students in our community - at our 2025 High Achievers Assembly.

At Mater Christi we celebrate the diverse achievements of our students, from the arts, sports, and leadership, to community service and social justice.

Celebrating the uniqueness of our student contributions in all areas is very precious to us. Today is no different; we wish to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the Year 12 Class of 2025, through the acknowledgement of their efforts in the VCE and VCE-Vocational Major. We also present a range of awards which recognise a variety of skills, talents, and achievements as well as academic endeavour and excellence in Years 7 - 11 throughout 2025.

Let's celebrate this together and let's empower each other to reach new heights in our own learning journeys, no matter what that looks like.

Dr Maria Haggett, Principal
