From 2025, St Monica’s Year 8 students will have the opportunity to enjoy six months of exciting ways of learning through a Gaudete Curriculum, with a concentrated emphasis on explicit literacy and numeracy in the morning, and innovative, project-based studies each afternoon.

Students will still begin and end their day at the Epping campus, and will be transported by bus to and from East Reservoir each day. There will be no additional cost to families.

The benefits of this arrangement include:

• First class facilities
• Full staff and teaching resources on site
• Range of wellbeing programs
• Special programs to foster a love of learning for all students
• Full involvement in all Monican events throughout the semester
• No time lost from school day learning.

This historic building, the first Catholic school in the Darebin District (1871), will be known as Founders’ Cottage in honour of those pioneer Catholics who established the Catholic faith in the Epping area
