Inspired by Jesus, with Mary as our model of faith, we are called to experience the fullness of life through learning, service and compassion.”

Knowledge to understand. Thinking to discern. Habits to succeed.

At Mary Help of Christians Catholic College, our approach combines a knowledge-rich curriculum, evidence-informed teaching practices, and purposeful opportunities for students to think deeply, practise deliberately, and take responsibility for their learning. 

Guided by our motto, Called to Learning, Service and Compassion, we seek to develop young people with bold minds, generous spirits and compassionate hearts.

We believe:

  • Every student can learn and grow: With high expectations, effective teaching and the right supports, every learner can make progress.
  • Knowledge enables thinking: Deep thinking is built on strong knowledge. Students learn important disciplinary knowledge and are taught how to use it critically, creatively and ethically.
  • Learning occurs best in community: Growth is fostered through intentional, collaborative relationships among students, teachers, and families.
  • Great teaching matters: Learning is not left to chance. Our teachers use evidence-informed approaches aligned with how students learn, remember and develop expertise.
