Despite the rain, the spirit of joy and camaraderie shared by students and staff was truly uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the term, we\u2019ve come together for a range of celebrations and informative events that have strengthened our community bonds. The Mother\u2019s Day Mass and breakfast were heartfelt tributes to the love and dedication of our mothers and carers. Families also gained valuable insights from sessions such as the Study Skills evening with Prue Salter, the Paul Dillon presentation, and a Zoom session with Dr Justin Coulson, who shared thoughtful advice on setting healthy boundaries with children. Our Term 2 Parents and Friends meeting offered a great opportunity to reflect on the year so far and look ahead with optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also celebrated World Support Staff Day with a morning tea to recognise the dedication of our support staff, whose behind-the-scenes efforts are vital to the life of our College. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our most cherished traditions, Champagnat Day, was a joyful celebration of our Marist identity. The day began with Mass and an assembly where we honoured students and staff with awards, followed by a festive afternoon of activities and a delicious lunch prepared by our staff and Hospitality students. Special thanks to Mr Ryan and Ms Wassef for coordinating the cooking\u2014those burgers were a hit! I\u2019m deeply grateful to all staff for their thoughtful planning and commitment to making the day a success. Photos and names of the Champagnat Award recipients can be found later in this publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Athletics Carnival was another highlight, showcasing the vibrant spirit of our community. Students, staff, and parents came together to cheer on our athletes in a day full of energy and encouragement. A special thank you to Mrs Khattar and Ms Stojic for their outstanding organisation. A detailed report is included later in this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This term we held our inaugural Careers Evening which was held in the Montagne Centre. This opportunity saw many College Alumni alongside other guest professionals meet in an informal setting allowing our students the opportunity to ask questions about the reality of the profession they are interested in pursuing. A special thank you to Mrs Bianchi and Ms Condon who coordinated this event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the term, our students have continued to shine\u2014whether through assessments, excursions, or co-curricular activities that bring learning to life. It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm in the SCS Eisteddfods, Spotlight on Learning assembly and after-school tutoring. The College\u2019s co-curricular program continues to thrive, with strong participation in debating, chess and SCS sports, reflecting the Marist value of presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we head into the holiday break, please keep our Year 12 students in your thoughts and prayers as they prepare for their upcoming trial examinations. I hope this publication brings you joy and inspiration, and I look forward to welcoming you back for Term 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wishing you a restful and peaceful holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silvana Rossetti<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ms Silvana Rossetti Term 2 began with a deeply moving ANZAC Day ceremony at ANZAC Park, where we honoured the courage and sacrifice of those who served our country.
