Learning in the Community

Students are provided with opportunities to participate in a range of community-based activities. These visits build on the knowledge and skills students have developed during teaching and learning experiences.

Shared Learning

Students participate in a vast range of academic and sporting opportunities with peers from Diocesan and Good Samaritan Education schools. These learning experiences provide positive interactions to further develop social skills for all students involved.

Workplace Learning

Senior Students at Mater Dei are provided with work experience opportunities in the wider community through the Workplace Learning program.  The development of work skills, attitudes, self-esteem and interpersonal, decision-making and problem-solving skills are essential for life after school. The success of our Workplace Learning program is largely due to the ongoing support of many local businesses.
