Open Night & Year 7 2015
Mater Dei welcomed all families with staff and students to our Open Night which was held on Wednesday 5 March. The night commenced with tours of the College at 6.00pm. This was followed by a presentation in the Hall which was chaired by our College Captains Liam Dedini and Elizabeth Shaw. Year 7 student Simon Templeton spoke about 'What is great about Mater Dei' . The night enabled parents to ask questions that will help shape their understanding of what might be their educational future.
Open Night was an evening of entertainment, information and enlightenment. This is an evening where we all witness the showcasing of talent and our facilities amidst the warmth and friendliness of the entire College Community.
I thank staff, students and parents who ensured prospective parents and students enjoyed an authentic experience of the opportunities that come with attending Mater Dei Catholic College.
