Principal's Report 

Dear Parents and Guardians

Welcome to Term 4 and what we hope is the end of remote learning.

Today we find ourselves at the other end of the school experience, sending our young people off for their final day at school. I am grateful today for all the educators and school staff who have nurtured our young men and women throughout their schooling. I am also grateful for the peers and families that have made up their educational experience, and I thank those Monivae families who today send a young person off for the last time. We are lucky to live in Australia - safe and free. The gift of education will hopefully enable our young people to embrace their life beyond school. As a community, we thank our graduating students and their families for their contribution to Monivae College. May the light of Christ shine upon you all forevermore.

Year 12 written exams commence from next Wednesday, 27th, in the Excel Wing and we keep those students undertaking exams in our prayers.

As I communicated recently, the return to onsite learning for all students has been brought forward to this Friday, 22nd October. If there are any questions about the return to onsite learning, please direct them to our Director of Students, Mr. Darren Beks via email: dbeks@monivae.vic.edu.au

College Captains for 2022

I am pleased to announce our 2022 College Captains and Vice Captains. A rigorous process involving student and staff voting, Leadership modules as well as an interview, provided an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and strengths. I congratulate every student who nominated for a position of leadership and undertook this discernment process. 

College Captains: McKeely Hol and Hamish Kearney

Vice Captains: Bella Nicholls and Joshua Gordon

Tutor Learning Program (TLP)

Term 4, 2021

The table below indicates where the TLP will run during Term 4. The TLP will be staffed with Monivae teachers who have volunteered their time to support this initiative. 

The TLP welcomes all students in Years 7-11 who would like help with their schoolwork. The TLP supports all Monivae students with their homework and learning needs.

No bookings are required, and students can access any venue on any of the days identified. They are not restricted to only one night or session. 

Students wishing to utilise the TLP at Monivae as well as the Boarding facilities, must pre book via email with the Head of Boarding, Ms. Merrin Shannon.

Email: mshannon@monivae.vic.edu.au 

Boarding is free of charge for any student wishing to access this program. The College provides dinner, breakfast and lunch as well as accommodation for students on these nights. A list regarding linen requirements, toiletries etc will be sent to those who have booked accommodation in the boarding house. 

Please note: the TLP will recommence in week 4 of Term 4, 25 October and conclude Wednesday 24 November. The TLP will not run November 2 (Melbourne Cup holiday).

Venues and times will be reassessed to meet the needs of our students and any COVID-19 restrictions. Any changes will be communicated in a timely manner.

All COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

I am pleased to confirm the Tutor program will continue throughout 2022.

We keep in our prayers our graduating students and their families. We pray for all those who grieve or suffer and for those around the world who do not enjoy the peace and freedom that Australian society provides.

Kind regards,

Jonathan Rowe

Principal
