Opportunities for leadership, and an all-girls education contributed to Lillie's confidence and success in secondary school
Leadership has been a constant for 2020 College Co-Captain and Dux, Lillie.
In her early years at Mater Christi Lillie was Middle School SoJuST Captain.
Choosing the VCAL program gave Laura the confidence to step out of her comfort zone, try new things and develop skills for the future.
“I’m so thankful for the opportunities VCAL has presented. It was the best decision
I’ve made.
A willingness to step outside her comfort zone and being naturally motivated ensured a positive secondary school journey for Shivangi
When Shivangi was accepted into the Monash University Young Scholars Program in Year 10, she knew it was the beginning of good things to come.
Following her passion and taking up all the opportunities open to her, helped Louise develop and grow throughout her studies.
Since starting at Mater Christi in Year 7, Louise’s philosophy has been to take all the opportunities that come her way.
A broad range of subjects kept Millie engaged and focused
Subject choice has been the key to Millie’s success, ensuring she stayed engaged and willing to put in the hard work.
She chose a variety of subjects from music and drama to chemistry and mathematical methods which kept her days interesting and varied.
Emily's love of dance was supported and nurtured during her time at Mater Christi.
Emily lives and breathes dancing. She says Mater Christi provided wonderful opportunities to develop and foster her love of dance, including participation in cheer, pom and VCE Dance.
An ability to look at the bigger picture and a desire to contribute to her community have served HongLing well, and remain key to her future plans.
HongLing has a positive and practical approach to life and schooling.
“You don’t always have the perfect choice.
Brave and determined, Emily has continuously put her hand up, seized opportunities and set herself up for success.
She believes the most rewarding experiences are those that come from taking a leap of faith and putting yourself forward.
