In the Classroom

HSC Drama Performance Examinations and MCHf x St Maroun's Music Showcase

Tuesday 25 August was a significant day for our HSC Drama and Music students, marking important milestones in their HSC journey.

Our HSC Drama students proudly presented their Individual Projects (IP) and Group Performances (GP) to HSC markers, showcasing the culmination of months of dedication, creativity, and hard work. Throughout the year, these students have demonstrated commitment in developing and refining their performances, and we are incredibly proud of their efforts. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Mrs Youssef, whose unwavering dedication, expertise, and support have guided the students to perform at their very best.

Our HSC Music students from Maronite College of the Holy Family and St Maroun's College came together for their annual combined showcase, providing a valuable opportunity to perform before peers and teachers ahead of their HSC Performance Examinations in September. It was inspiring to witness the outstanding musical talent on display and the collaborative spirit between both colleges. The constructive feedback provided by music staff will undoubtedly assist students in further refining their performances as they prepare for this important assessment.

We extend our gratitude to St Maroun's College for joining us, and to Mr Sedicol, Ms Jocelyn, and the Year 11 and Year 10 Music students whose support contributed to the success of the event.

We wish all of our HSC Music students every success in their upcoming examinations and hope they continue to make themselves, their families, and the College proud.

Year 10 Food Tech: Mastering Food Trends

As part of their Food Trends unit, Mrs Botros’ Year 10 Food Technology students showcased incredible creativity and technical skill by preparing and plating chocolate lava cakes. Students focused on flavour, texture, and presentation, garnishing their desserts with fresh strawberries, raspberries, vanilla cream, edible flowers, and chocolate sauce. The results speak for themselves — professional plating and beautiful attention to detail. Well done to all our young chefs!

2 Jade displaying MCHF values of respect and collaboration

2 Jade students demonstrated the MCHF key values of collaboration and respect. They listened to and valued each other’s ideas as they worked together to create a script for The Three Little Pigs. Students then collaborated to edit their writing before rehearsing and performing their scripts for the class.

2026 Rotary Youth VET Awards

On 25 August 2026, MCHF VET students were recognised and honoured for their dedication, talent and commitment to vocational learning at the 2026 Rotary Youth Vocational Education Awards, held at Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High School. This prestigious event celebrates excellence in vocational education and acknowledges the outstanding achievements of students and educators from school communities across Western Sydney. The recognition highlights the hard work, skills and determination of our students as they pursue pathways towards future career success.

In addition to celebrating student achievement, the event also recognised and acknowledged VET educators who work tirelessly to ensure students receive a high-quality education in an engaging, inclusive and compassionate learning environment. We are proud to congratulate Ms Jackline Botros, our VET Hospitality teacher, who was recognised for her outstanding contribution to Vocational Education and Training and her dedication to supporting young people in developing the skills and confidence needed for future success.

Year 12 VET Hospitality

Year 12 Hospitality and Mrs Botros were very excited today to be the first at MCHF to use the LED Lightbox to photograph their Non-Alcoholic Beverages for their final assessment in Module 4. How appetising do their smoothies and frappes look? 

Year 8 Subject Selection

Today, our Year 8 students had the opportunity to explore their Stage 5 subject selections and start thinking about the exciting learning opportunities ahead.

Subject stalls were set up around the hall, allowing students to speak directly with teachers, ask questions, explore their options and gain a better understanding of what each subject has to offer.

It was wonderful to see our Year 8 students engaging thoughtfully in the process and beginning to consider their interests, strengths and future pathways as they prepare for Stage 5. 

4 Violet Making Chocolate

Students in 4 Violet made chocolate after reading the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Inspired by the magical chocolate factory and its delicious treats, they created their own chocolate as a fun way to connect the story to a hands-on experience.

OnSTAGE Nomination Success

We are delighted to announce that Georgia Abboud, Aline Doueihi, Rita Doumit, Charbel Francis, and Deeana Tawk have been nominated for their Group Performance,  Bound ... Not Written, for possible inclusion in OnSTAGE 2027, the prestigious annual showcase of outstanding HSC Drama performances and individual projects.

Being nominated for an HSC Showcase is an exceptional achievement and reflects the students' talent, creativity and hard work. This nomination is a testament to the quality of their performance and their commitment to excellence in Drama. 

We are also very happy to announce that Aline Doueihi has received an additional nomination for her Individual Performance, Hen's Night, for possible inclusion in OnSTAGE 2027.

Congratulations to all on this wonderful achievement.

HSIE- 9 Commerce Market Day

On Friday 4 September, our Year 9 Commerce students brought their businesses to life as part of the annual HSIE Market Day, creating a vibrant Global Bazaar for students in Years 5 to 12.

As part of an assessment task they have been working on throughout the term, students planned, prepared and operated their own businesses, bringing the Commerce curriculum to life through a real-world learning experience. They demonstrated impressive leadership, teamwork and entrepreneurial skills while gaining valuable experience in business operations and customer service.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success and for your ongoing support of our Year 9 students throughout the process. Well done to all involved.

A huge thank you to the sponsors of our Year 9 Commerce Market Day. Your generosity and support helped our students turn their business ideas into reality and bring the Global Bazaar to life.

We are grateful for your contribution and for helping provide our students with valuable real-world business experiences. Thank you for supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs!

HSC Textiles & Design Showcase

The MCHF community was proud to celebrate the creativity, skill, and dedication of our students at the HSC Textiles and Design Showcase. The exhibition highlighted the impressive Major Textiles Projects created by students as part of their HSC studies, showcasing a diverse range of innovative designs, technical expertise, and artistic expression.

Visitors had the opportunity to view the outstanding work produced by students over the course of the year and gain an appreciation for the planning, research, problem-solving, and craftsmanship involved in bringing each project to life. The showcase reflected not only the students’ creativity and passion for design but also their perseverance and commitment to achieving personal excellence.

We congratulate our Textiles and Design students on their remarkable achievements and thank their teachers, families, and peers for their ongoing encouragement and support. The showcase was a wonderful celebration of student learning and an opportunity to recognise the talent and hard work of our aspiring designers.

End of Term Award Ceremonies

As Term 3 drew to a close, the MCHF community gathered for the Primary and Secondary Awards Ceremonies to celebrate the achievements, growth, and contributions of our students throughout the term. These special occasions provided an opportunity to recognise students who have demonstrated excellence in their learning, commitment to their school community, and a dedication to living out our school values.

Students were acknowledged for their academic efforts, positive attitudes, perseverance, and willingness to contribute to the life of the College. The ceremonies highlighted the diverse talents and achievements of our students and served as a reminder that success takes many forms, from academic accomplishment to personal growth and service to others.

We congratulate all award recipients and commend every student for their hard work and commitment throughout the term. We thank our staff and families for their ongoing support in fostering an environment where students are encouraged to strive for excellence and reach their full potential.
