Pathways Skills Week at Mt Maria College

Published 15 Apr 2026
MMC celebrated Pathways Skills Week, showcasing various career pathways:
Health Checkup, students attended a session that explored careers in the health industry.

Future Lady Tradies had our students donned in bright pink as they participated in hands-on sessions, constructing steel frames, laying bricks, plumbing, painting, and more. Harper from Year 12 shared her experience as a female apprentice in fabrication and manufacturing.

Construction Skills Qld ran a number of sessions with students using VR goggles that took them onto general construction sites and civil construction compounds. Students had several tasks to complete communicating with onsite construction workers.
Thank you to Tony from CSQ for presenting Mr. Tim Arnold with a plaque, congratulating Mt Maria College on becoming a Building and Construction Gateway School for 2025-2028.
