From the Assistant Principal

As we draw to the end of another school term, I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by so many of our students and staff over the course of this term. 

This week we acknowledged the successes of our Year 12 students in the academic, sporting, cultural and service areas. Congratulations to all Year 12 Students in graduating from Marist Sisters’ College, Woolwich. We wish you well in your exams and your future endeavours beyond school.

I would like to thank the staff, both teaching and support staff, for their commitment to our students and their learning this semester.

I wish all students and staff a very restful break. May it be a time of rest and rejuvenation.

Year 12 Supper 

On Wednesday evening, our Year 12 parents/carers and students celebrated their completion of their time here at the College with supper. Thank you to our Year 11 Parent Engagement volunteers, Year 11 Hospitality students and our staff who worked in the background and on the evening to ensure our Year 12 students and families enjoyed their graduation celebrations.

Term 4 Summer Uniform

All parents/carers and students are reminded that students return to school in Term 4, in summer uniform.

As there will be a number of girls who have had a growth spurt over the last two terms it is recommended that the length of uniform is checked before returning to school.

I ask for your assistance in ensuring that your daughter’s summer uniform complies with the College Uniform Policy. In particular:

• The junior dress or senior skirt is to be worn at the correct length (hem finishes below the knee when the student is standing upright.) 
• The jumper is not to be worn to or from school unless under the blazer. 
• To avoid any uniform infringements, please also ensure that your daughter adheres to the College standards for hair, make-up, jewellery and nails.

COVID-19 regulations – Term 4

From the beginning of next week, staff, students and visitors who have tested positive to COVID-19 must:

• complete 5 days of isolation from the date they test positive
• be symptom-free before returning to school, if symptoms remain after day 5 they must continue following NSW Health guidelines to self-isolate and undertake a rapid antigen test
• complete a rapid antigen test (RAT) and return a negative result before attending school on days 6 and 7 after testing positive to COVID-19
• wear a mask on days 6 and 7 when attending school (for all staff and those students 12 years and older).

Due to the higher risk associated with some school settings and activities, the 7-day isolation period will remain for staff, students and visitors who have tested positive to COVID-19 and work at or attend:

• specialist centres
• support units
• assisted transport
• overnight camps, retreats or excursions.
