Year 7 Leader of Wellbeing

Mr Elijah Carlin

Term 3 has been a bustling period for Year 7. With routines firmly established and the ‘new kid’ phase behind them, the focus has remained on Teaching and Learning, particularly with the transition in HSIE from History to Geography, leaving behind investigations of the ancient past in Egypt and China for inquiries into the formation and values of landscapes and landforms.

Our first Year group Mass was a truly wonderful experience, deepening our connection to the Catholic community and enhancing our understanding of what it means to be a Marist. It also provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the cohort’s love of singing, as the boys learnt the words to the Sub Tuum, the College’s song sung at every event.

The Amadeus program continues to enrich our students by providing a wide array of opportunities to excel in various musical endeavors. Through participation in bands and ensembles, students can develop their musical talents, collaborate with peers, and perform in a variety of settings. This program not only enhances their technical skills but also fosters a sense of community, discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for music.

During Semester 2, our cohort has demonstrated remarkable engagement in a wide variety of sports, including football, rugby league, rugby 7s, AFL, tennis, baseball, and hockey. Their dedication and hard work have led to significant achievements and successes across these diverse activities.

As Term 3 draws to a close, I wanted to thank the Homeroom teachers for your hard work, patience and the positive impact you have made on our Year 7 students. I look forward to continuing this journey next term.
