History Mother Mary Olivera, Superior General of the Good Samaritan Order of the Catholic Church declared in 1962, “Let’s build a boarding school on top of the hill in Belgrave". Subsequently, the school was founded by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan religious order in 1963 outside Belgrave, overlooking the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria. Six Good Samaritan Sisters initially instructed 62 female students, offering an academic education, "based on the principles of Benedictine values". The site chosen in 1962 consisted of grounds which contained Heathermont, a c. 1920s guest house. Sunny Siesta was on the 90 degree turn at the top of Bayview Road and was where the first sisters established their convent in May 1962. A new convent, chapel and classrooms were opened in 1964. Although initially envisaged as a small day and boarding school, the rapidly growing population in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne saw Mater Christi College grow, and today there are more than 850 girls enrolled at the college, including students from several Asia-Pacific countries. In 1989, a boarding house was attached to the college. It closed in 2015. Mater Christi offers a broad range of subjects to suit students and is designed so that students undertake studies from all areas of learning at Years 7 to 12.

Mater Maria Catholic College

Mater Maria Catholic College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school, located in Warriewood, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was established in 1962 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay. History In January 1962, Sisters of the Good Samaritan founded a secondary school for thirty-eight Catholic girls at Narrabeen. In 1964 the college moved to Forest Road at Warriewood. The school's immediate priority was to educate the girls in a peaceful environment. By 1979, the local population growth and demand led to the decision to expand and establish the college as co-educational. In 1984, students sat for the Higher School Certificate for the first time at the College. The majority of these students had been the pioneers of co-education at the college in 1979 and had become the founding members of the new senior school. Over the next decades, new facilities were built concurrent with developments in curriculum and increasing enrolment. Contributions from the Commonwealth and the five feeder parishes financed five new buildings that were opened in the period from 1974 to 1990 and the Sisters donated the land to the College in perpetuity in 1980. In 1990 the first Lay Principal was appointed. During the 1990s significant changes were made in management, pastoral care and the curriculum. In 2002, the Bush `bush' Chapel was closed and decommissioned in preparation for the largest integral expansion at the College. John Ducker, the former president of the Australian Labor Party, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, and a member of the NSW Legislative Council, was the first chairperson of the Parent's Board.

In 2012, the college completed its 600-seat performance centre. Houses The students are divided into four (primary) and eight (secondary) houses, each named after a notable Australian person: Dean Carelse conviction Dean Carelse was a South African national and water polo coach. Carelse was employed at MFAC from ~2019-2020, as a middle school science and mathematics teacher and a water polo coach. He was dismissed from the college after allegations of grooming after contacting students on social media such as Facebook, and allegedly taking inappropriate photographs of students. Maroochydore Police raided his Moololabah home in early 2021 and discovered child exploitation content, in 2022 he pleaded guilty to 20 charges consisting of possessing child exploitation material and distributing child exploitation material. Much of the child exploitation charges related to students at MFAC. Carelse was sentenced to 6 years in prison, but instead deported to South Africa. After an investigation conducted by the ABC, Carelse was discovered working at a water park in the United Kingdom and departed from there in 2024. This controversy caused MFAC to implement more stringent and effective child protection policies, as well as the introduction of frequent school assemblies regarding child protection. School policies such as requiring teaching staff to maintain zero contact with students for at least 2 years after graduation were implemented to address the controversy and ensure child protection.

Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College

Matthew Flinders Girls' Secondary College is an all-girls State secondary school located in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. It provides education for students from years 7–12. History The school opened as Flinders National Grammar School in January 1858. The foundation stone was laid on 5 December 1856 by the administrator of the Colony of Victoria, Colonel Edward Macarthur. It is believed that the architect involved was the local German-born architect, Frank Kawerau, of Ryrie Street, Geelong, who also designed many government buildings across Victoria, including Willsmere (formerly Kew Lunatic Asylum (1864)), which has very similar architecture. The school was to be named the Geelong National Grammar School but, at the foundation ceremony, Macarthur asked permission to name it the "Flinders National Grammar School", after Captain Matthew Flinders, the first European explorer to circumnavigate Australia, who had climbed the local You Yangs range and described the Geelong area. When the school opened in January 1858, 116 boys were enrolled, but there was no room for girls. Falling enrolments forced the school to become coeducational in 1864. The buildings were extended and remodelled in 1879, due to increased student numbers. When the extensions were opened in April 1880, it was officially named Flinders State School no. 260, but was unofficially known as "Link's School", after fifth headmaster, George Link, who was in charge from 1879 to 1894. During that time enrolments increased to 1000 students. By 1938, enrolments were still increasing but there was not enough space. As a result, the decision was made in 1939 for the school to become "Matthew Flinders Girls School", under Ada Knowles. The school was led by Frances Higgins from 1942 to 1947. In 1948, Minnie Elizabeth Cawthorn was appointed as the new head. Historian Diane Langmore has written that, at that time, the school was "dilapidated", and "a dumping ground" for girls who would work in the mills as soon as they were fourteen. Cawthorn decided that the students should not be trained as housewives but to have a life. The school was renamed "Matthew Flinders Girls School", building extensions were made and the grounds became pristine. In 1950, Matthew Flinders students were the first in the state to sit the "Girls' Leaving Certificate". In 1956, Mary Lausza became the new head of the school. In 1966, under Dr J. S. Bowden, the school gained high school status and it was renamed "Matthew Flinders Girls High School". It is now called Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College. Today The college operates on two campuses. Years 7, 10, 11 and 12 students are located on the Main Campus, whilst Years 8 and 9 are on the smaller Helen Fraser Campus.

Rocky Valley Dam

The Rocky Valley Dam is a rock-filled embankment dam across the East Kiewa River, located on the Bogong High Plains, near Falls Creek, Victoria, Australia. Situated near the Falls Creek Alpine Resort, the dam is used for the generation of hydroelectricity for the Mackay Creek Power Station, one of the four conventional hydroelectric power stations that form part of the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme. The dam and adjacent hydroelectric power station has been owned and operated by AGL Energy since 1991. Dam and reservoir overview Funded and built by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria for the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme, construction of the dam begun in 1954 and was completed in 1960. The rock-filled dam wall is 32 metres (105 ft) high and 518 metres (1,699 ft) long. When full, the resultant reservoir, with an elevation of 1,594 metres (5,230 ft) AHD, has a storage capacity of 28.37 gigalitres (23,000 acre⋅ft) and covers 26.5 hectares (65 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi). The controlled chute spillway has a discharge capacity of 85 cubic metres per second (3,000 cu ft/s). The dam wall is traversable in all seasons. Water from the reservoir is used in snow making in winter for the Falls Creek Alpine Resort. Hydroelectric Power Station The McKay Creek Power Station is one of four conventional hydroelectric power stations that form part of the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme. The McKay Creek Power Station has six 25-megawatt (34,000 hp) generators driven by Pelton wheel turbines, with a total generating capacity of 150 megawatts (200,000 hp). The Mackay Creek Power Station is located 80 metres (260 ft) underground on the slopes of Mount McKay.

ГЕС McKay Creek

ГЕС McKay Creek — гідроелектростанція південному сході Австралії. Знаходячись перед ГЕС Богонг, становить верхній ступінь каскаду у сточищі річки Кієва, яка дренує західний схил Австралійських Альп та впадає ліворуч до Муррею (басейн Великої Австралійської затоки Індійського океану) одразу після сховища Hume. Забір води для роботи станції відбувається з Rocky Valley Creek та Pretty Valley Creek — відповідно правого та лівого витоків Кієва-Іст-Рівер, яка в свою чергу є правим витоком Кієви. Rocky Valley Creek перекрили кам'яно-накидною греблею висотою 32 метри та довжиною 518 метрів, яка потребувала 459 тис. м3 матеріалу та утримує водосховище з площею поверхні 2,65 км2 і об'ємом 28,4 млн м3. На Pretty Valley Creek первісно також планували створити резервуар, проте в підсумку обмежились водозабірною греблею. Ресурс подається по тунелях загальною довжиною 5,5 км до точки, розташованої на північно-західному схилі гори McKay. Далі по поверхні прямує напірний водовід довжиною 1,25 км, який переходить у короткий напірний тунель. Машинний зал станції спорудили у підземному виконанні на глибині 80 метрів під сточищем струмка McKay Creek, котрий впадає праворуч до Pretty Valley Creek. Основне обладнання ГЕС первісно становили шість турбін типу Пелтон потужністю по 16,8 МВт, які в 2004-му модернізували зі збільшенням потужності до 25 МВт. Гідроагрегати використовують напір у 520 метрів. Відпрацьована вода відводиться по тунелю до розташованого за 0,3 км водозабору наступної станції каскаду. Примітки
