Improvement & Strategy

Strategic Plan for 2023 - 2027

Flow’ is a mindset – a way of approaching life with inquisitiveness and delight. It also describes a state of being ‘in the zone’ while learning, performing, or completing a task.
We challenge our students to seek and find their ‘Flow’: the enjoyable experience, which encourages a growth mindset. When we Flow, we grow…and then the possibilities are endless.
At MCC FLOW is also an acronym for the holistic formation that is intended for MCC graduates.

We want our students to grow around these pillars: Flourish, Learn, Others, Wellbeing.

  • Flourish

    Students are taught about being Positive, their Emotions/Engagements, Relationships, about Meaning & Purpose, Achievement & Accomplishment and their own mental, physical and emotional Health.

  • Learning

    Mandurah Catholic College is committed to creating learning experiences that enable students to thrive. Our teachers are passionate, innovative, and adaptable practitioners who aim to engage and inspire curious learners.

  • Others

    By deeply caring for others, we find greater meaning and significance in our lives. The College creates holistic engagement opportunities for students through the Christian Service Learning Program, House Missions and Catholic Missions.

  • Wellbeing

    The College believes in nurturing the wellbeing, strengths, and gifts of all our students as essential elements of our Catholic Identity. The Pastoral Care program sees each year level focussing on a different age-appropriate developmental theme.

Child Safe Framework 

Child Safe Framework

Catholic schools create environments where children feel safe, are engaged and can flourish. All children have the right to a good education.

Mandurah Catholic College is a Christ-centred and child-focused learning community which supports each child to develop to their full God-given potential by ensuring their learning environment is engaging, safe and supportive.

The Child Safe Framework (CSF) has been designed to support schools in maintaining an engaging, safe and supportive learning environment. All members of our College community share the responsibility of prioritising the best interests of our students.

The College relies on strong partnerships with parents and guardians to provide each child with the best possible learning and development opportunities. Working together, home and school can ensure students flourish in a safe, healthy environment.

The Child Safe Framework is based upon the following key practices: Situational Prevention, Extended Guardianship and Healthy and Respectful Relationships. Expand the tabs to read more on each key practices.

Key Practices

  • Evaluating various elements within the College – including physical and online environments, staffing, governance, behaviours and culture with an aim to eliminate or mitigate situations that present risk for our students.

  • When our College community share a collective responsibility to actively support an environment that is engaging, supportive and safe. At a basic level this involves talking about behaviours that don’t contribute to engaging supportive and safe environments.

  • “Every human being is bound to live agreeably with those around him”. – Pope Francis.
    Modelling healthy and respectful relationships creates an engaging, safe and supportive environment. It also equips students with the understanding of how they should be treated. “Good relationships are vital if Catholic schools are to achieve their aims. Both parents and the school need to work at building constructive relationships.”

    Dear Lord,

    Bless us the people of Mandurah Catholic College, that we may be guided to do right each day and to seek your truth. Though we travel together through good times and bad, let us always remember the example of the Holy Family.

    Mary, Mother of God and mother to all, help us to be as faithful as servant to God as you were.

    Joseph, earthly Father of Jesus, you showed unconditional love, help us to love and care in this way also.

    Jesus, Son of God the Father, watch over us. May our College be a place of Peace & Hope, Learning, Faith and Love.

    Amen.
