Chaplaincy at MACC
Operating as a vital expression of the College’s Christian ethos and supported by the Director of Wellbeing, the MACC Chaplain partners with families to build a Christ-centred learning environment. Anchored in the College values, including Fairness & Compassion and Mission & Service, the Chaplain provides holistic pastoral care, spiritual guidance, and a reassuring presence to help Prep to Year 12 students discover their God-given potential and navigate life’s challenges.
The Pastoral Pillars at MACC
Offering a confidential, compassionate “listening ear” for students experiencing personal, social, or spiritual distress, the Chaplain provides a safe, grounded space within the vibrant life of our College.
The Chaplain facilitates group resilience programs, supporting Year Coordinators, and contributing to the spiritual fabric of the College through Chapel services and active “Faith in Action” initiatives.
The Chaplain works seamlessly alongside the Director of Wellbeing, school counselors, and external care professionals. This ensures students receive smooth, coordinated assistance when clinical mental health or deeper therapeutic support is required.
Providing an additional adult role model who strengthens the wider Macarthur community, the Chaplain stands as a supportive anchor for parents and staff alike, modeling a heart for service that inspires students to look beyond themselves.
The Cross Carriers
Christian Studies
From Prep to Year 12, students at MACC are taught to put Christian values into practice through age-appropriate Bible teaching that deepens as they progress through the College. Students are encouraged to grow in their faith, explore God’s Word, ask meaningful questions, and develop a deeper understanding of how they can follow Jesus’ example in their everyday lives.
Missions
The purpose of MACC Missions is to provide opportunities for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 from Mount Annan Christian College to serve others in a residential mission to a regional NSW centre or an international setting, demonstrating the love of Christ through a variety of training and practical service activities.
