Our VCAL students made local news recently when they delivered 450 vegetables and herb plants to the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre.
Mater Christi College students engaged in real-world application of social justice through the school’s Year 12 VCAL program.
In response to student requests, we are pleased to introduce shorts as an additional summer uniform item. The shorts can be worn as an alternative to the summer dress or skirt, and are to be worn with a summer blouse.
Shorts are available by order through the Uniform Shop at a cost of $47.00.
The Uniform Shop is open Tuesdays and Thursdays 1.00 - 4.00pm.
During Term 3, Mater Christi and five generous families have had the pleasure of hosting five exchange students from Japan - Rinko, Eri, Yuki, Moe and Rina.
They have been a wonderful addition to our community and we have enjoyed having them immensely.
On the 11th day, of the month September, of the year 2018, the Year 8 students had Ye Olde Medieval Day.
The day included many, many awesome activities as well as dressing up like people from Medieval times.
The activities included sword fighting, ‘battling a war’, playing instruments, trying on new outfits and playing Medieval games.
Variety Night 2018 was a night of laughter, awe and community building and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the amazing talents of Mater Christi and St Joseph’s students.
The night showcased a variety of acts; comedy, dance, poetry, singing, musical pieces, circus tricks and skits.
How quickly the term goes, as we are only days away from our third term break. Already we have welcomed the Year 7 students of 2019 and at College Assembly next week will present the student leader team for next year!
As always, the end of term brings a flurry of community activities.
It has been a busy term in all aspects of College life, and sport is no exception. From basketball to sports aerobics, AFL to Lacrosse – our students have put in their best effort and shown fantastic sportsmanship, as always.
Basketball
We had three teams compete in the Champions Cup Basketball competition, with Intermediate and Senior Teams making it through to the finals.
Last week, Year 8 students participated in their Reflection Day around the theme - Belonging to the Good Samaritan Community.
The day was designed to complement their RE unit on Benedictine values and Good Samaritan communities. Students explored the values through a series of activities and stories.
Mars... the mere mention of the name stirs the imagination in many of us. It is our closest planetary neighbour, one "rock" closer to the sun, and yet it remains tantalisingly beyond our reach. What we've learned from humankind's brushings of its surface only further stokes the fires of our curiosity.
