Ensuring balance between her family, social and study commitments
was key to Jess's success
Jess commenced at Mater Christi College in Year 10 when her family moved to the hills. With the support of her teachers and fellow students she adapted to her new environment and quickly formed new friendships.
An unwavering passion for music meant a clear path for Mieke,
right from the beginning of secondary school
Mieke has always known what she wants to do and has been completely focused on that goal throughout her school life.

The Mater Christi Year 12 Formal was held on Friday 14 February and it was an amazing night.
Despite the wet and rainy weather, girls still kept their hair and makeup appointments and were dressed to the nines, posing for a thousand photos taken by parents.
Dear Members of Mater Christi College Community
Our Principal, Mrs Mary Fitz-Gerald, recently informed the College Board of her plans to retire at the conclusion of 2020 having completed twenty years of leadership at Mater Christi College.
This is a significant milestone for the College community, and we are sure that you, like us, are sad to receive this news, as Mrs Fitz-Gerald has done an outstanding job of leading and guiding our school to its current strong position.
During his homily at our Opening Mass, Fr Chris Ford expressed that the story of the Good Samaritan is one of the greatest stories ever told and urged us to 'go and do likewise', show mercy, be the mercy of Christ for each other.
Below is his full presentation.
Our speaker at our High Achievers' Assembly was 2019 College Dux Jessica Taffe. Jess shared her reflections on what success really looks like in Year 12 and how to find balance in a busy school life..
My name is Jess and I’d like to start by saying a massive congratulations to my classmates, the class of 2019! All our hard work and hours spent studying was worth it, we made it!!
This year I will be going to university, as many of my peers have chosen to do, and I will be studying Science at Melbourne Uni.
Mater Christi College has partnered with the Mae Collard School of Music to provide a broad range of music education for our students in 2020.
Mae will lead a team of instrumental teachers, comprised of the Mae Collard School of Music staff and teachers from our College.
There are very limited places available for Year 7, 2021.
We understand that occasionally in the busyness of life, some general life admin gets overlooked. For example, have you enrolled your younger daughter for 2021?
If not, please contact Kylie Lee, Registrar asap.
Welcome to new and returning students, parents and carers. Our College theme for 2020 Let your light shine for others invites us to anticipate a community of shared learning goals.
“We have a mandate and purpose to stay in the Light ourselves, and then shine it for others.
Our College Theme for 2020 is 'Shine your light for others'.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
