Year 7 students are being challenged to ‘Drop Everything And Read’ (DEAR) for at least 10 minutes each day throughout Term 3, as part of the Wide Reading program.
The competition will be fierce for the class and student who read the most with prizes and incentives on offer.
On Friday 17 July we will provide a Progress Report for Semester 1 via MyMCC. As you would understand, our usual way of working with students has been very different this term. Included in this change has been how we assess and report.
The content of the programs was reduced and some of the usual assessment activities have not been possible.
I wish to add my congratulations to Maria Haggett on her appointment as Principal of Mater Christi College from 2021. We have started a program of regular communication and are looking forward to future occasions when Maria can meet with students, staff and families, formally and informally.
Traffic Management and Safety around the College is a priority – for drivers, pedestrians and local residents.
For travelling to and from school, all drivers are asked to:
Travel with utmost care – observe 40 kmh zoning
Enter Bayview Road from the South end, not the Belgrave end, during peak times
Avoid double parking
Use the drop-off zone on Bayview Road, school side ONLY
Obey all parking signs – Council Parking Officers are often in the area
Thank you for your cooperation.
The College Board is delighted to announce the appointment of Maria Haggett as College Principal, commencing January 2021.
We are looking forward to introducing Maria to our community and welcoming her with true Benedictine hospitality.
Open to Year 9 2020 students
Each year Mater Christi College awards a number of full and half scholarships to students entering Year 10 who have demonstrated excellence in their studies and their school life.
The three-year scholarship is designed to support students who wish to complete their Year 10 and VCE studies at Mater Christi.
We are delighted to announce the commencement of an upgrade to our existing Science and STEM learning areas and associate spaces. We are grateful for the funding assistance from the Victorian Government Capital Funding Program, supported through Catholic Education Melbourne with the project being managed by Sensum Pty Ltd.
It was a crisp morning with the sun clearly on the rise as our VCE/VET & VCAL students, including some Year 10s doing higher studies, arrived at the College, mostly bright with energy and excitement. While all were delighted with their new lockers and the treats within, it was predominantly the Year 12s who celebrated the loudest.
As lockdown restrictions are slowly being lifted to varying degrees, we enter a time of transition and adjustment. The circumstances of this situation have significantly impacted us all. For some it has been an opportunity to reflect on what is important, whilst others have embraced the opportunity to learn new things.
The Coronavirus is impacting families around the world and changing how we do things on a daily basis. In many cases, it has resulted in the indefinite postponement of many special, and often long-awaited events, such as milestone birthdays, sporting competitions, school trips and family holidays.
