Community Time

School holidays

 

 

From time to time it is good to reset elements in our lives, especially those that are not positively contributing to our perception of self and also that may be holding us back from reaching our potential. I encourage you to support your daughter in relation to both her online activity and also the connections she has through social media apps and sites.

 

Plan something random from a list you co-create

Use this website to create a unique wheel of things to do.

Wheel of Names

Here are some additional suggestions:

  • Walk the dog
  • Prepare dinner for the family
  • Go to the movies with a friend/s you have not connected with in a while
  • Visit your Grandparent
  • Do your CV so that when you do go looking for work you have one ready to go
  • Plan Assessments Schedule for Term 3
  • Go for a coastal walk
  • Take mum/dad to the local cafe (phones down) and talk
  • Meet friends at the park for a picnic lunch or morning tea – all bring a plate to share; pack a ball to play with afterwards. Phones away (unless you take a picture of one another or as a group to mindfully share. No selfies!)
  • Arrange a swap meet with friends after we all clean out our wardrobes – the rest goes to St Vincent de Paul Society. Walk it there and speak with the volunteers about where they would like it placed – offer to put on clothes hangers if it helps.
  • Social Media Cleanse – unfollow what does not add positively to your life
  • Spend time with a sibling you want to strengthen your connection with
  • CLEAN OUT YOUR ROOM – fresh start to Term 3
  • Tidy up you ‘Favourites’ bar on computer so it is school focused and have one folder set for “Down Time”
  • GOOGLE DRIVE – tidy it up by organising your docs and folders
  • Email – clear it so that Semester Two is clear. Set a reminder on your laptop to check your emails by 8:45am and again at 6pm at night. Delete as required
  • You create the items that are added to the wheel

Vaping

Keeping you up to date with the latest on Vaping in Australia.

We encourage you to see your GP if you have any questions or concerns in relation to your daughter and vaping.

Uniform

The length of the College uniform is ‘When a student is standing upright, the hem of the summer dress or kilt is to finish below the knee’.

On Day 1, Term 3 the uniform is to be below the knee at all times. This means on arrival, on departure, when lined up for class, waiting on the canteen line and outside the College.

If you are unable to attend to the length of your daughter’s uniform – arrange for it to be let down, purchase a new one – please inform her Tutor teacher or House Coordinator. We are considering having classes at lunch where we will teach the students how to do this and allow a week or weekend for this to be actioned on their uniforms. If they require a new uniform and there are financial difficulties, please call and speak with their House Coordinator as the College has a uniform pool that they can access. 

I am reaching out to you as numerous students are making claims that there are issues/reasons why they do not have the correct uniform (this includes length) and once we have contacted the parents there is no reason why their daughter does not have the correct uniform other than she does not want to have it below the knee.

The College Uniform Policy did change, however the length of the uniform was not changed, rather the wording as to how the length is to be measured.

The revised College Uniform Policy was shared with you at the end of Term 1 through COMPASS. Please find a link to this letter here:

2022/23 Student Leaders

The Student Leaders who were commissioned during the College celebration of the Feast of Jean Marie Chavoin gathered on Sunday 26 June and Monday 27 June to connect for the first time and establish themselves as a team.

I look forward to where these Marist Women of Action will lead the student body throughout 2022 and 2023. They are a diverse group of young women who have a shared vision for Marist Sisters’ College Woolwich, with a focus on the very important role that each student has in the community.
