From the Assistant Principal
Over the last couple of weeks, students have experienced the School Start Program, the Thursday Sport program, our Opening School Mass, the High Achiever Assembly, and the opportunity to lead their My Marist Compass Goal-setting conference with the support of their parents/carers and their Tutor teacher. It has definitely been an exciting introduction to the academic school year. On Monday, we have the College Swimming Carnival. Life at the College is full!
Communication at the College
To support the students and staff of Marist Sisters’ College in communicating effectively with each other, it is necessary to ensure that communications among all members of the College community are respectful, professional, timely, and clear. Building positive relationships among all stakeholders in a child’s education is based on mutual respect and trust, resulting in support for improving student learning. Effective communication between parents and teachers is crucial to this success and to students’ well-being.
The College works closely with the Sydney Catholic Schools Parent Charter to nurture a partnership between the College and parents. The College Flowchart Parent Inquiry/Complaint/Issue provides parents with appropriate pathways to contact College staff, depending on the nature of the inquiry. This document can also be accessed via COMPASS favourites to assist parents in determining the first point of contact.

COMPASS Insights
The ICT Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement and Media Publication Consent is available in Compass Insights. If you have yet to complete these forms, you will see an invitation to complete an Insights Cycle when you next log into Compass. There are sections to be completed by parents and students.
Thank you for your support in helping our students return with such a positive attitude. As always, we aim to minimise unnecessary distractions from learning, and we appreciate your partnership in upholding our expectations around behaviour, uniform, grooming, and attendance.
We look forward to a successful and rewarding year ahead.
God Bless,
Mr Justin Hodges, Assistant Principal
