Executive Principal’s message - Dr Margaret Ghosn MSHF

Dear St Maroun’s College Community

May God’s blessings be upon each and every one of you.

2025 is another year of school life with its many opportunities to develop each student spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. Every student, teacher and parent is invited to challenge themselves and participate in the varied events that take place throughout the year from prayer experiences, mentoring, sporting competitions, stage performances, fundraisers etc. When we work together and challenge one another, we make life much more exciting!

The mission, vision and vision for learning are fundamental to our College and I have them below, to remind each one of us why we are here and what our purpose is.

Mission

Inspired by the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family, we accompany our students in the realisation of their potential.

Vision

We challenge our community to grow in faith, strive for excellence and transform the future.

Vision for Learning

Our vision for learning is to foster holistic development through a Christ-centred education. Through 21st century practices, we accompany students to grow as critical thinkers and adaptable learners, navigating an ever-changing world with resilience and compassion.

Student Attributes

An adaptable learner collaborates effectively, manages their learning, and works independently, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and achievement.

A resilient learner embraces and perseveres through challenges with a positive mindset and takes ownership of their learning

A thinker creatively engages with ideas, critically assesses them, and reflects on their learning to foster deeper understanding and innovative solutions.

This year we have commenced construction of our Masterplan. Demolition of parts of D block have commenced to make way for renovations that will transfer the old and dark rooms into light filled educational spaces that are flexible, large and equipped with STEAM equipment. At the same time as we renovate D block, we are looking into the next stage of the Masterplan in order to redevelop other learning spaces. As our enrolment numbers continue to grow, we need to ensure we have the capacity for further intake and better classroom areas.

At the Executive level we are honing in on our data analysis to identify areas where we can improve our performance in the academic area. The quest to always improve is what we are here for.

As we travel through 2025 let us remember we are a team which includes the Sisters, College Chaplain, Governing Board members, Executive team, Coordinators, teachers, support staff, business services and admin team, maintenance personnel who all work together with parents and students to ensure everyone thrives and flourishes.

Ultimately our success comes down to acknowledging the grace of God in our lives.
