Beginning early learning is a significant and exciting milestone for children and for their families. At MCS Early Learning, we help children begin their journey feeling safe, valued, and confident. In our latest Leadership Article, Mrs Claire Robins shares helpful tips for parents to support a smooth transition. Together, we encourage children to “Be Courageous” as they try new things, build friendships, and grow in God’s strength.
On Monday 16 February, our Junior School Leaders, accompanied by our Heads of Junior School, had the privilege of visiting Oxley Christian College to attend a Student Leadership Conference focused on Christian leadership and service.
Our Year 7s had an incredible time at camp, full of good times and building friendships. Students enjoyed activity rotations including the giant swing, candle making and flying fox. A wonderful start way to commence their journey into Secondary school.
Our Parent Connect Nights were held this week across both campuses, and it was good to see so many families actively partnering with the school from Prep through to Year 12. These evenings are a great opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school, recognising that when parents and teachers work together, students are best supported to grow academically, socially and spiritually.
Last year, 11 Maranatha students travelled to Uganda — an experience that stretched them, shaped them, and showed them what resilience truly looks like.
Through new routines, new friendships, and powerful stories from the local community, they learnt to do hard things, practise gratitude, and build deep connections. They saw faith lived out with joy in the midst of challenge and returned home with a renewed perspective.
Maranatha Christian School is excited to welcome all returning students and new families to the 2026 school year. With Prep, Year 7 and Year 12 students commencing yesterday and all other year levels returning today, our campuses are once again filled with energy, connection and anticipation for the year ahead.
Each year, our community gathers to formally commit Maranatha Christian School to God for the year ahead. On Wednesday 28 January, staff, parents and students came together for a special Dedication Service, setting aside time to pray and entrust 2026 to Him before the academic year begins.
This annual service is a time of unity, reminding us of God’s ongoing provision and strengthening our shared purpose as a Christian school. As we look ahead, we do so with thanksgiving and expectation for all that God will do in the year to come.
Celebrate the Class of 2025. Discover their VCE success, leadership and our Dux Chelsea Edmonds, plus big thank you to Maranatha Christian School’s teachers and parents.
At the close of each year, Maranatha gathers for our Thanksgiving Services.
It is a special time to reflect on the year that has passed and to give praise and thanks to the Lord for His sovereign presence in our community. These services are cherished moments when students, parents, and staff come together to honour God and celebrate His faithfulness.
We are thrilled to announce that Ethan, one of our talented students, has been selected to represent Victoria in the 2026 Australian Youth Championships (AYC) this January.
