Student Leadership: ANZAC Day March

Mater Dei College Captains and House Captains attended this year's local ANZAC Day March to commemorate ANZAC Day. Being able to participate this year was very special and House Captains proudly marched as banner bearers down Baylis Street, representing our College with pride and commemorating the many men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our country. Our College Captains, Amber Hallam and Oscar Mitter, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in the Victory Memorial Gardens Commemorative Ceremony. It was a moving morning for all and we thank our Captains for presenting the College. 

Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Program

All Year 11 students are participating in the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Program to be held on Tuesday, May 10. The program is designed for 16 to 18 year old students who are approaching that crucial time in their lives where they start to drive independently or are travelling as passengers of one of their peers. 

It is a series of practical workshops that aim to change the way young people think about road safety. As part of an interactive one-day experience, students experience braking at different speeds, devise travel strategies that will work in the real world and get tips from road safety experts on how to protect themselves, their friends and their family.

The breakfast will be held outdoors in the Cafe area, in keeping with COVID protocols. We look forward to welcoming parents and students to join with staff to share a breakfast BBQ with fruit and drinks, and reconnect on site.
