Dear MCHF Community
May God’s blessings be upon each and every one of you.
2025 is another year of school life with its many
opportunities to develop each student spiritually, intellectually, physically
and socially. Every student, teacher and parent is invited to challenge
themselves and participate in the varied events that take place throughout the
year from prayer experiences, mentoring, sporting competitions, stage
performances, fundraisers etc. When we work together and challenge one another,
we make life much more exciting!
The mission, vision and vision for learning are fundamental
to our College and I have them below, to remind each one of us why we are here
and what our purpose is.
Mission
Inspired by the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family, we
accompany our students in the realisation of their potential.
Vision
We challenge our community to grow in faith, strive for
excellence and transform the future.
Vision for Learning
Our vision for learning is to foster holistic development
through a Christ-centred education. Through 21st century practices, we
accompany students to grow as critical thinkers and adaptable learners,
navigating an ever-changing world with resilience and compassion.
We also have our student attributes, which I encourage each
one of our students to embrace over the year.
Student Attributes
An adaptable learner collaborates effectively,
manages their learning, and works independently, turning challenges into
opportunities for growth and achievement.
A resilient learner embraces and perseveres through
challenges with a positive mindset and takes ownership of their learning.
A thinker creatively engages with ideas, critically
assesses them, and reflects on their learning to foster deeper understanding
and innovative solutions.
This year we have our Kindy and Year 1 students housed in
the new H block. We also have gained extra playground spaces including G block
grass area and the B block rooftop which has been converted into a multipurpose
outdoor area to be used for soccer and other sporting activities. We also have
new music classrooms and a new woodwork/construction room. Our College is ever
evolving with new and better learning spaces.
This year we hope to lodge our Masterplan and once approval
has been given we then hope to commence building our carpark and auditorium. As
our enrolment numbers continue to grow, we need to ensure we have the capacity
for further intake.
At the Executive level we are honing in on our data analysis
to identify areas where we can improve our performance in the academic area.
The quest to always improve is what we are here for.
As we travel through 2025 let us remember we are a team
which includes the Sisters, College Chaplain, Governing Board members,
Executive team, Coordinators, teachers, support staff, business services and
admin team, maintenance personnel who all work together with parents and
students to ensure everyone thrives and flourishes.
Ultimately our success comes down to acknowledging the grace
of God in our lives.
