Mater Dei Catholic College
On September 3, we had our National Science Week Paper Plane Throwing Competition. It was an extraordinarily close finish—a mere 1 metre separated our top three contenders, whose planes soared nearly three-quarters of the length of the Hall!
Congratulations to our top aviators:
- 1st Place: Xander Wilson
- 2nd Place: Jones Russell
- 3rd Place: Wynter Halden
Congratulations to Trinity Guirguis on receiving the Year 12 Notre Dame Award for Overall Academic Achievement in Science. This prestigious recognition highlights Trinity’s outstanding dedication, effort, and excellence. Well done on a remarkable achievement!
As the 2026 academic year comes to a close, we extend our warmest wishes to our graduating Year 12 cohort and all students leaving Mater Dei at the end of the year. We are so proud of your journey and wish you every success in your next chapter.
We also bid a fond farewell to Ms Mackenzie Taylor, who will be moving on to her next school. We thank her for her dedication over the past two years teaching Chemistry in the Mater Dei Science Department and wish her all the best in her future teaching endeavors.
We also welcome Mr Andy Bedford to our Science team in term 4. Mr Bedford will be teaching junior Science this term.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you goes out to the entire Mater Dei Science staff. Their hard work, passion, and tireless commitment throughout 2026 have provided our students with countless enriching experiences and opportunities. Thank you for making science engaging and inspiring for everyone!
