Margaret Jurd College

About

Margaret Jurd College welcomes enquiries about enrolment for anyone who has a young person in their lives that is seeking a holistic and alternative option to mainstream secondary schooling. MJC exists to engage at-risk young people in education. We are an independent non-government secondary school of years 9-12. Originating as a ministry of the Uniting Church of Australia, we provide students with an alternative option for education in a holistic, caring and supportive environment. The Jurd Way is about achieving positive results with a unique approach of combining education and wellbeing. We believe that if a person’s social and emotional needs are met, they will be capable of realising their full potential. For this reason, MJC chooses to operate a holistic model that focuses on student wellbeing as a way of increasing their resilience and capacity to make positive choices in regard to their own education. This trauma-informed practice puts equal emphasis on wellbeing and education to bring out the best in our students.
