Mount Carmel College is situated in Rosewater in the Western suburbs of Adelaide, S.A., where it provides a quality, contemporary Catholic co-education for secondary students. Our College motto, 'Caritas et Dignitas' (Love and Dignity), reflects our heritage as a Catholic School in the Josephite tradition, servicing the needs of our community in the spirit of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. The Core Values of our community are BELONGING, DIVERSITY, EXCELLENCE, and RELATIONSHIP. At the heart of our Mission is a diverse learning community where relationships are grounded in Gospel values, individuals feel they belong and all are encouraged to celebrate excellence. The College has always been a multiculturally rich community with several dozen different languages spoken at home. With such diversity, along with our Aboriginal and refugee students, our broad and inclusive Teaching & Learning and Student Wellbeing programs accommodate individual needs, flexible transition pathways and the pursuit of personal excellence for all students. An integral part of the College Community is the Mary MacKillop Special Education Unit that supports our students with the most specific learning needs, whilst ensuring they are an integrated and important part of the entire College community. The College has a commitment to continuing to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes for students by resourcing time release for staff. The College is also funded through the Communities Making a Difference National Partnership to build the capacity of staff to ensure the best possible literacy and numeracy outcomes for students. The College also undertakes interviews with all Year 9 students in which they are supported by staff to review their NAPLAN results and utilize them to undertake some reflection and personal planning. This model of student interview reflecting upon NAPLAN results is a model that has now been taken up and implemented in other Catholic schools in South Australia.
