Kind words from our community​

​One of the most significant aspects we've observed since enrolling at Mater Dei is the holistic growth of our daughter. Not only has she advanced academically, also grown in her ability to develop friendships, navigate problems and show confidence at school. Her love for sporting activities such as cross country, has also been supported through before-school training opportunities and the opportunity to attend Zones competitions. 

The emphasis on values is commendable; the 'Caritas' award, symbolising kindness, and compassion, stands out as the most coveted award among students, highlighting the school's commitment to instilling core human values over mere academic achievements. At Mater Dei, it's not just about academics; it's about nurturing well-rounded individuals. We are proud to be part of this community and look forward to more years of growth and enrichment.​

-  Year 2, Mater Dei Parent
