The impact of MACS’ Vision for Instruction was evident today at our annual STEM MAD extravaganza, where the next generation of thinkers, makers and creators showcased how flourishing young learners are having a positive impact on the world. Explicit instruction in science and maths provides the foundation for these design projects, allowing young learners to apply their knowledge in the most effective way to address the challenges facing their generation. TV’s Allan Raskall dropped in to meet our young people shaping the future. #MakingADifference #STEMMAD2024 #VisionforInstruction #Lightingtheirpath

What will these STEM MAD students from MACS’ schools be doing in 2030? Using science, technology, engineering and mathematics to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing communities and the planet. Or, as one student put it, “Saint Mary MacKillop’s message - never see a need without acting on it - will be acted on.” #lightingtheirpath #STEMMAD #makingadifference #visionforinstruction

I was delighted to join Fr Des, students and staff at St Margaret’s Primary School Marybyrnong last week for the official opening and blessing of their great new facilities. Sincere thanks to Member for Footscray Katie Hall for joining with us for this special moment, and to the Victorian Government for its capital support - which combines with parental contributions to enable Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools to continue to cater for the growing demand for Catholic education.

Over 120 educators attended the MACS eSafety Summit at Marvel Stadium today, where eSafety Commissioner, Frankston SOCIT Detectives, and digital expert and researcher Dr Joanne Orlando shared information and resources to support MACS schools’ risk-informed approach to technology in our almost 300 schools across the Archdiocese. Students learn best when they feel safe. We thank all of our speakers and attendees today for remaining informed so as to enable students to flourish in a fast-evolving technology environment. In his opening remarks, MACS Executive Director, Dr Edward Simons reminded us that it's our responsibility to speak with our hearts, and remind our children that we are what we communicate. "We can be lanterns, reminders, and guides through the darkness by using heartfelt communication and truth," he said. #MACSmorethaneducation #melbournecatholicschools #esafetycommissioner #digitalliteracy
