Enriching Curriculum
The college offers a very broad and innovative curriculum ensuring students have access to cutting edge educational resources. Monivae ‘gives every child a chance’ through strong student involvement in a vast array of sporting activities, choir and theatre productions and also the Australian Army Cadets program.
Monivae has initiated an extra tuition opportunity for students. The Day Boarders scheme allows day students to avail themselves of the supervised study program, tutorials and assistance provided for the residential boarders.
Strong Values
The college’s student wellbeing program and school motto “Fotes in Fide- Strong in Faith” is incorporated into and supported by a ministry team in the spirit of the MSC ethos and vision, which sees MSC schools recognise the importance of balanced human development and strive to help young people to achieve their full potential in all areas of life, and to be ready to show initiative in parish, religious and civic life.
