Welcome to the 2025 school year.
At the Start of Year Program with staff, I presented my vision for Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs’ students to become Flourishing Learners.
The Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools MACS 2030: Forming Lives to Enrich the World
vision details strategic themes, with the Learning and Teaching strategic theme guiding MACS students to be ‘flourishing learners’. Upon further reading of MACS 2030, I came across the link between ‘flourishing learners’ and the John 10:10 passage: ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’, providing a clear link with the roots of our College motto, Live Fully Act Justly.
To guide such a connected vision, I thought it timely to introduce some key Learning and Teaching policies that will support our students in their studies. I encourage you to read the policies and appreciate your support as we partner together in educating our young people.
Code of Academic Integrity
Artificial Intelligence Guidelines
Student MacBook Agreement
Homework Policy
Please note that the Homework Policy has recently been reviewed. The policy now includes examples of homework for the Junior and Senior School, together with new subheadings. For 2025, Year 7 students can expect to receive homework from Week 5.
Furthermore, it is also my pleasure to introduce the Learning and Teaching Team and the Curriculum Leadership Team for 2025.
