My Marist Compass Goals 2023

MMCG Conferences took place this week on Wednesday February 8 where our students led their Tutor Teacher and Parent in a conversation about their goals for 2023.

This year our students have really stepped up in relation to connecting their learning with home. They are able to clearly identify what they need to develop in 2023 and can articulate how this will benefit them in the future wherever that may take them.

We are a community of learners who are Capable, Committed and Compassionate.

Uniform

Students have returned to school.

Reminder about the Uniform Policy and the consequences for students who continually to not adhere.

Specifically the following:

The length of student uniform by hem or by the wearing (e.g rolling up at the top of waist, self pinning up hem, and numerous other methods) will result in consequences that will be issued each day until it has been address by the student. After 5 infringements a meeting will be held on site that will enable both parents and the College to support the student in addressing the issue.

If there are any financial issue related to securing a new uniform for you daughter please contact either her Tutor Teacher or her House Coordinator.

A Special Report: Starting Year 7 

When a child starts high school, they suddenly become one of the youngest and newest kids at school all over again – a small fish in a big pond! The transition between Year 6 and Year 7 is one of the biggest jumps in a child’s life and is a very important milestone. This can easily become a daunting time for students and parents alike.

Starting Year 7 poses many new challenges, but also exciting opportunities. It comes with a number of mixed feelings. Some students may be feeling a little anxious about their expectations of starting Year 7 and finding their place in the “big pond”. As your child grasps new skills and engages in new study practices, it is important for parents to be supportive, but also realistic in their expectations. Parents and students can easily become overwhelmed during this time of transition but, there are a number of strategies that can be implemented to start things off on the right foot!

We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this edition of SchoolTV and we always welcome your feedback. If you have any concerns about your child, please contact her Tutor teacher, House Cordinator or the school counsellor for further information or seek medical or professional help.
