Mater Christi College

At Mater Christi College our commitment is to deliver the best of an all-girls education.

Our vibrant campus in Belgrave buzzes with potential as every girl embraces her amazing learning opportunities and learns to become her best self. Our students are motivated learners who graduate with region leading academic results and the confidence to pursue their dreams.

Mater Christi College is an open-entry Catholic Secondary School for girls located in Belgrave, Victoria.

At Mater Christi our student-centred culture encourages and celebrates the ‘can-do’ energy of girls. Each girl learns to become her best self; a global thinker who is competent, confident, happy and ready to live life fully.

Within our vibrant, inclusive and warm community your daughter will feel safe, build lifelong friendships and become an intelligent and reflective learner.

We have been educating young women, in and around the hills, since 1963. We are proud of our progressive educational environment, where each student is encouraged to be her ‘own kind of girl’. Our aim is for our students to leave the College as global thinkers - competent, confident, and ready to live life to the full.

It is well established that girls learn differently to boys, that they are motivated and respond in different ways. Our student-centred culture celebrates those differences and offers a safe, supportive environment for girls to explore, discover and grow.

Our Curriculum Guides contain information to support and enhance the educational journey of our students. They outline the core and elective subjects offered in Years 7 to 12 and the learning objectives and essential skills that students will explore within each of these subjects. Students can use these Guides to understand our curriculum offerings and ensure a well-rounded and comprehensive education.

Our learning program recognises that the world is undergoing rapid economic, environmental, and social changes because of accelerating globalisation and rapid technological development. Education needs to prepare students for jobs that have yet to be created, for technologies yet to be invented and to solve problems, yet to be anticipated.

We prepare students for this world, equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and values through engagement with a learning program that includes traditional core subjects and an increasing array of elective choices, which continues to expand throughout the years of schooling.
