Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Maronite College of the Holy Family, our community, our family.

Since 1973 when the school commenced with over 100 students of Maronite background, today we have over 1300 students. As we continue to grow, we also continue to refine our teaching and learning.

In 2026 our focus will be on a number of areas:

1. Student behaviour - discipline is necessary if one is to thrive in varied experiences. For our students to succeed we will focus on ensuring they develop positive habits that will insist them to cope and challenge themselves.

• Explicit teaching - as a community, all members need to develop themselves. Our staff this year will focus on content and its mode of delivery, to ensure all students can grasp the information and apply it.

• The theme ‘Rise above challenges’ - we hear so much about well-being and mental health. At MCHF we are encouraging our students to embrace the attributes of adaptable, resilient and thinker, as we promote our 2026 theme.

• Collaboration – success is realised when we all work together. This year the Board directors, Executive team, middle leaders, teachers and staff, parents and students, will be afforded opportunities to participate in the direction of the College as we prepare for a new strategic plan to be implemented the following year.

As a Maronite Catholic College catering to K-12 students, our ongoing aim is to develop and deepen our Maronite spirituality and always offer thanks to God, who graces our journey together at MCHF.
