Year 10 – Year 11 Readiness Program

Letter from the Leader of Wellbeing – Year 10

Dear Year 10 Parents and Students,

As Year 10 students complete their exams, we would like to inform you of some important upcoming learning opportunities designed to support students in consolidating their progress and preparing for future success.

Over Weeks 5 and 6, students will continue attending their regular timetabled classes with a specific focus on receiving and applying feedback from the assessment tasks completed earlier this term and during the exam block. This phase is a vital part of the learning process, allowing students to reflect on their performance, identify areas for growth, and strengthen their understanding of key concepts. Engaging meaningfully with feedback now will help set students up for success in future learning.

In Week 7, students will begin the Senior Studies Readiness Program within their elected courses for 2026. This program is designed to challenge students and provide a realistic insight into the expectations and demands of their chosen pattern of study. Through targeted skill development and course-specific activities, students will refine the academic and organisational skills necessary for success in their senior years. 

A lot of time, effort, and resourcing from the school goes into this program and it is the expectation that all students engage meaningfully, complete all classwork, and meet the teacher and College expectations.

If any student has concerns about their Senior Pattern of Study or feels uncertain about their readiness for senior school, I encourage them to speak with me directly. I am happy to work through these decisions and support students in making informed and confident choices.

Thank you for your continued support as we guide our Year 10 students toward a successful transition into senior studies.

Warm regards,

Emily Mattick

Year 10 Leader of Wellbeing

Reminder – Wellbeing Month 2025

31 October 2025

Dear Parents/Carers 

November is Wellbeing Month

At Marist Eastwood we believe that the wellbeing of our students is paramount to their academic, social and emotional growth. As such, we are excited to announce that the College will again be having a wellbeing month in November, dedicated to promoting the holistic development of our students.

Research consistently shows that students who feel supported and valued are more likely to excel academically, build positive relationships and develop resilience. By prioritising wellbeing, we aim to create an environment where students can thrive. To support this, throughout November, to continue to foster a culture of wellbeing, we have planned a series of activities and initiatives throughout the month.

  • Football Tournament: Encourages social connections, mutual respect, and a sense of community. It also promotes healthy competition, stress relief, and mood enhancement. 
  • Chess Comp: Enhances problem-solving skills, cognitive function, and collaboration through fun and engaging activities, teaching resilience and persistence. 
  • 3 v 3 Basketball Comp: Similar to the football tournament, this activity promotes physical health and social interaction. 
  • Fresh Fruit Friday: Fruit is being donated by one of our local fruit shops in Eastwood. This highlights the importance of a balanced diet by promoting fruit consumption, which positively impacts brain function, mood regulation, and overall wellbeing. 
  • Prayer & Liturgical Life: Offers opportunities for spiritual growth and connection to the local Catholic community, fostering resilience and a sense of belonging. 
  • Art Rooms: Provides a creative outlet for socialising and skill development, enhancing social connections in a positive environment. 
  • Screen free Thursday: No laptops to be used on a Thursday in 7-9. This encourages healthier digital habits and reintroduces students to non-digital learning and social activities, enhancing face-to-face communication and collaboration. 
  • Sleep Diary: Helps students reflect on their sleep patterns and implement strategies to improve sleep quality, recognising the well-documented benefits of adequate sleep. 
  • Homeroom Activity & Prompts: Short, informative sessions to raise awareness about mental health, wellbeing, and mental fitness. 
  • Jersey Mufti Day: Encourages students to express their interests, promoting conversations and a sense of community through shared interests.

In addition to the above there will also be Chalk writing (wellbeing statistics and messages shared in the yards), lolly guessing, talent show and more. Any funds raised will be donated to the Charitable Works Fund (CWF). The CWF supports the charitable and pastoral works of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. These include; mental health support services for families and those struggling with addictions, homeless support services and chaplaincies for hospitals and prisons. Through this support we are extending the message of the importance of everyone’s wellbeing  beyond our local school context to those in most need across our wider community.

Each week starting yesterday the students will be shared on Compass the following week’s timetable of events that they can participate in. We encourage all students to be involved in a variety of different activities throughout the month.

King regards

Linda Codamo

Director of Wellbeing
