18.01.2022 To finish the Duke of Edinburgh year with a bang, we launched our first Adventurous Journey. Fourteen Level 3 Compass & Bronze Award participants set off from Mount Clear College on the morning of Thursday 10th of December. Our goal was to ride to St Georges Lake in Creswick. It was a tough track with approximately 10km of pretty intense mountain biking trails. The hike challenged the students both physically and mentally with them all having to dig deep at different times t...o keep going. At the end it was all smiles as they realised that they had accomplished something hard. The personal growth from an experience like this is immeasurable. I would like to invite students to apply to complete their own award in 2021. Contact our Award Coordinator, Mat Knights via email to [email protected] #MountClearCollege #dukeofedinburghaward #DukeofEd

18.01.2022 Tai chi is often described as ‘meditation in motion,’ but it might well be called ‘medication in motion.’ There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems. And you can get started even if you aren't in top shape or the best of health. - Harvard University Jack holds a free Tai Chi class every Saturday and Sunday morning from 9am in front of Pipers by the Lake. Come along and join in. #MountClearCollege #TaiChi #Ballarat #MyBallarat #lakewendouree

Thank you to Nicholson Construction who have worked at a cracking pace to finish this project so that our Year 12 students could enjoy as much time as possible in our new Science and Art Classrooms, and our sensational senior student study lounge. The building is a credit to e+ architecture who have done an outstanding job in designing t...he layout. The highlight for us is standing in the student study lounge, which is the old mini gym and being able to see the trees outside through the classrooms in any direction we turn. It really is a delightful space to be in. We would like to extend our thanks to Jack Harris from the Victorian School Building Authority and the team at e+ architecture for their tireless work with this project.

11.01.2022 Well, another year comes to a close and what a year 2020 was! Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I would have the privilege of leading Mount Clear College through a global pandemic. A pandemic that resulted in much of the year being spent off-site completing remote learning and teaching. While it has been a very challenging year of leadership, I have used the term ‘privilege’ because it is an honour to be the Principal of our amazing College and this year w...Continue reading

10.01.2022 It's R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. Today we're calling on our community to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK.... If someone says they’re not OK make time to listen, encourage action and check in.

Judi has been the brains and the push behi...nd many of the great experiences that our students have had here at the College, including the Year 9, Year 10 and Year 12 camps, Victorian State Schools Spectacular and she has also spent many hours involved with College productions and other performing arts activities all of which focus on the wholeness of our students. Because of the huge influence Judi’s had on the culture of this school, it won’t be a hole that she leaves, it will be a crater! Thank you Judi and we wish you and your family all the best in the future. #MountClearCollege #Staff #Farewell

07.01.2022 #WellbeingWednesday #SeeTheGood #MCCTheGood - Each Wednesday we are focussing on a topic to promote our wellbeing and taking care of ourselves. This week we are encouraging everyone to consider a Random Act of Kindness. Kindness is one of the things that we can control during difficult times, especially at the moment when it may feel as though there is so much happening that is out of our control. During these times we may feel i...solated and disconnected, and kindness can connect us in ways to support those around us. This week across the Mount Clear College Community we are asking students, staff and community members to take part in the Great Act of Kindness Challenge towards our aged community. This could be an act of kindness toward your grandparents, neighbours and people living in care within our community. Think about how you can spread a little extra kindness and try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. (Maya Angelou) Share with us how you have taken on the challenge of doing a random act of kindness via [email protected] or alternatively drop your items that you have created to the College reception to be delivered to our aged community. #MountClearCollege #AgedCare #Wellbeing #Community #InThisTogether

Join Jack at 8:30am on Wednesday, 26 August for a five minute trial of Tai Chi via Facebook. With regular practice, Tai Chi can increase flexibility, strength and improve cardiovascular health.
