The College Leadership Team (CLT) at Marymede Catholic College provides the strategic vision and operational stewardship necessary to foster a flourishing educational community. Guided by our Catholic identity and a commitment to professional excellence, the CLT works collaboratively across our campuses to ensure that every student is known, challenged, and supported.
Under the leadership of the Principal, each member of the team oversees a vital pillar of the College’s operations—ranging from spiritual mission and pedagogical innovation to student wellbeing and the cultivation of a robust professional culture. Together, they are dedicated to upholding the standards of Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) while driving the continuous improvement of our multi-campus environment.
