Our Vision:

For MEC to be an inclusive, connected and flourishing learning community.

Maryborough Education Centre (MEC) is a school where the children and the youth of this community can learn and grow in a supportive, respectful and inclusive environment, where everyone is on a strong learning journey and where positive and supportive relationships form the basis of all our work. We consistently empower students to set high aspirations. Students are supported in following their interests and passions through multiple pathways that will successfully lead to positive outcomes in further education, training or employment. The school has a key role in supporting and working with the wider community.
