Our Stories
Being away from home for the first time can be a very worrying time forparents and their children. The FRP Program has been very successful for many years due to the dedication of the staff in making the children feel that being in 'residence' is having a "home away from home".
We have published some wonderful stories over the past few years in our "Matters" magazine that demonstrate just how easily the students of Mater Dei settle into residence.
