In their Interdisciplinary Unit with Art this year, our Year 8s developed visual representations of our Benedictine values. These values are an integral part of everything we do at Mater Christi. Some ways in which these values were expressed in 2021 include:

Hospitality Through their Reflection Day, facilitated by Year 10 Youth Ministry students, Year 7s discovered the history of the College and how the Parable of the Good Samaritan calls us to offer hospitality to all.

Justice and Peace Year 12 students investigated the growing concern about fair and ethical fashion.

Prayer To celebrate Easter, Youth Ministry students developed an interactive pilgrimage, based on the Stations of the Cross, for all in the College community to participate in. Love of Christ and Neighbour In their Right Relationships unit, Year 9s noted that ‘if a person believes in reconciliation, then everyone can move forward if they are willing to participate in it.’

Stewardship Year 10s explored the role of Catholic Social Teaching principles in protecting our environment.

Humility In the Year 10 Good, Evil and Suffering unit, students used the Parable of the Tax Collector to explore the Benedictine Value of Humility.

Community In celebration of 200 years of Catholic Education in Australia, students joined other schools from across Victoria at St Patrick’s Cathedral.
