On 9 May, singer/songwriter Scott Darlow came to speak to the Year 9’s about some of the challenges faced by Indigenous Australians, including racism, shame and prejudice.

He began with a few of his songs and some stories, along with lots of humour.

On 23 April the Year 9 students participated in a Careers Day.

We started with an assembly to talk about what was happening for the day, then moved on to completing quizzes and discovering different careers in areas that we have an interest in.

It’s almost NAPLAN time and as the community debate re-commences, students and teachers at Mater Christi College are at the ready.

Students nationwide in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will complete four tests covering reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy between 14 – 16 May.

Our Year 8 students have been some of the first students in the Yarra Ranges to experience the new Yarra Ranges Tech School in 2017.

Yarra Ranges Tech School is a high-tech centre with virtual reality technology, robots, 3D printing labs and simulation rooms.

The MCC Middle School’s Cross Country event took place last Friday, June 2. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for the competition as it turned out to be a perfect day with the sun shining.  It was great to see all the girls giving it a go even if they were walking!

The girls enjoyed  lunch at Grant’s Picnic Ground before walking back to school for the awards.
