Ready to step out

CHILDREN grow and flourish at Mount Evelyn Christian School (MECS) within a warm and caring environment.
Located in Melbourne’s outer eastern foothills, MECS caters for your child’s entire formal education from Prep to Year 12 and prepares them for whatever steps they take beyond.
MECS is one of 86 Australian schools within the Christian Parent Controlled Schools Association and has been operating for more than 34 years. Current enrolment is 550.
School staff said that students at MECS are encouraged to explore God’s wonderful world.
“Along the way, they discover their gifts for service and care within the precious environment we all share,” they said.
“We put a special emphasis on working within a community of learning while supporting individual growth.
“In simple terms, we cater to the specific needs of your child towards reaching their full potential.”
Mt Evelyn Christian School’s motto is “Lifelong learning in Melbourne’s foothills”.
The school is holding an Open Day on Saturday 1 March from 10am to 1pm.
Parents and visitors are welcome on the day to view MECS and the new primary complex at 135 York Road, Mt Evelyn.
