Acting Assistant Principal

Mr Tim Aussel

As Term 3 draws to a close, our senior students have stepped into a critical phase of their academic journey. The Trial HSC examinations marked a significant milestone and it has been encouraging to witness the boys’ sustained commitment – not only in the exam room but in their continued engagement with after-school tutoring sessions and revision. Their determination reflects a maturity that will serve them well in the final stretch of the marathon. 

For our Year 11 cohort, they engaged in their first major examination block, offering valuable insights into their study habits and preparation strategies. As they look ahead to Year 12, I encourage them to reflect not just on their results, but on the effectiveness of their approach: what worked, what didn’t and how they can use teacher feedback to refine their methods moving forward.

Beyond academics, this term has been rich in moments that celebrate the spirit of our College. The Malloy Cup assembly was a definite highlight, recognising students who have consistently demonstrated achievement and wholehearted participation across the year. Our high rates of involvement in co-curricular and community life are a hallmark of this College – a strength that must be celebrated and safeguarded. I challenge our emerging student leaders to carry this legacy forward with pride and humility. 

As we farewell our Year 12 students at their graduation, we honour not just their academic accomplishments, but the young men they have become. May they enter the world with strong minds and gentle hearts, grounded in their Marist heritage and ready to contribute positively to the communities they join.
