Year 7
Mr Elijah Carlin
Leader of Wellbeing – Year 7
Year 7 have made a positive start to their high school careers. After the initial shock of new classmates, new subjects and having to find their way around a very large new campus had worn off, students set about the business of learning.
The pastoral theme of “Marist and Me” challenges our newest community members to discover what it means to be a Marist boy and what their place in our community is to be over the next six years. This was reinforced at the swimming carnival where they experienced belonging to a House, to compete and to cheer on their teammates. The tug-of-war final was a particularly raucous affair.
The “Marist and Me” community theme was further developed during Reflection Day where the students learned the story of our patron, St Marcellin Champagnat, and his significance to all Marists. The boys also thoroughly enjoyed their first time singing the Sub Tuum, accompanied by the very talented Mr Foong.
As we approach the end of the first school term, our Year 7 cohort are very excited about their upcoming adventures on the Year 7 camp which will take place early in Term 2.
