Trustees Visit - Kilbreda College 

The ‘ministry visit’ is a welcomed opportunity for the Trustees to gain invaluable insight into the future plans of a school or community work. Early in May the Trustees visited Kilbreda College in Mentone. Greeted by welcoming students and enjoying an extensive tour of the college, highlighted the excellent facilities and developments that are planned for at Kilbreda. The learning walk was very interesting and demonstrated a student focused learning agenda.  A chance to meet staff and to share some hospitality was shared over morning tea.

College principal, Nicole Mangelsdorf presented information regarding the developing Master Plan and other issues and developments impacting on Kilbreda, especially the development of the new train station.  The involvement of thirteen Year 10 students in the ‘artist in residence’ project in conjunction with the Mentone Renaissance project was exciting news!  Amongst other things, the student will create the design and paint the mural on the external wall of the college on Como Parade.  The whole area is being redeveloped and should be completed by mid-year – which is not too far away.    

The Trustees would like to thank the community of Kilbreda College, not only for their hospitality which is always welcoming and warm but also for the care that is taken in the education and pastoral care of their students through an innovative agenda.
