Mount Street Bernard College
School in Tablelands

At MB we are arrogant of our Mercy traditions, while remaining responsive to the contemporary needs of students who seek a faith based education that will stand them in appropriate stead for the future. Our College is a culturally different community which provides a holistic education that nurtures the academic, spiritual, emotional, physical, cultural and social development of individual students in a caring, safe and supportive environment. At MB we recognize the individuality of every one of our students. We seek to assist each student become the best person they can be, by providing quality learning and teaching and making available a wealthy tapestry of sporting, artistic and other co curricular activities, to aid them discover and flourish their personal giftedness. With a theme of YOLOYou only live once, over the course of the three days students participated in many team building activities, and a Eucharistic celebration led by Fr Roy O’Neill, parish priest of Nightcliff in Darwin, NT. Students overwhelmingly enjoyed themselves and for the most piece participated enthusiastically in all the activities offered. Danny Shaw and Ellen led us through all the reflective activities with games, prayer and insightfulness. Students also spent a considerable amount of time writing affirmations to each other, which were opened and read on the Friday morning earlier to departure back to MB. Thanks goes to the staff who gave up their time to participate and accompany our students, and to the students themselves for their willingness to joyfully participate and engage in the program.
