Hills happening

MATER Christi College in Belgrave is a school where girls can ‘make it happen’ — whether that’s within an academic, sporting or social context.
And there’s certainly been plenty happening at Mater Christi, particularly with the ongoing building program transforming the school in recent years said staff at the college.
The latest facilities, to be officially launched at Mater Christi’s Open Day on 21 February, include a major development comprising eight modern classrooms, new music spaces, a multi-purpose pavilion and three expansive all-weather sports courts.
Together with the new VCE Centre, Mater Christi students enjoy facilities of the highest quality and an innovative curriculum to match.
The college is extending the Middle Years Program of the International Baccalaureate to year eight this year and the teachers are particularly excited by the opportunities provided by the new rooms.
“The new classrooms are flexible and spacious with the technologies to provide an ideal arrangement for innovative teaching,” said principal Mary Fitz-Gerald.
“The use of technology is integral across the campus with electronic whiteboards in most classrooms, fully networked computer labs and mini-labs.
“It is very satisfying to see our plans coming together with the new facilities and developments in our programs.
“It is a credit to the vision and commitment of so many within the Mater Christi community that we are able to provide tremendous opportunities for the girls.”
See what Mater Christi has to offer by visiting its Open Day on 21 February between 9am and noon and 7pm and 9pm.
