MSCW Merit System 

The College is committed to supporting each student to help find their compass for Life through the rich opportunities that we provide here at Marist Sisters’ College, Woolwich. At the commencement of Term 2, the College will be introducing a Merit System, which is intended support the development of each students’ compass for Life and affirm extraordinary effort in the areas of: 

  • positive behaviour
  • individual learning success
  • co-curricular contributions
  • service to others, and 
  • leadership within our College life community. 

 

A parent letter will be issued via COMPASS when Term 2 commences that explain the four tiers and process behind the cumulative Merit system.

Winter Uniform Term 2

As we prepare for the transition into the College Winter Uniform, please be aware that this is effective as of the first day back of Term 2 – Tuesday 20 April. It is important that we continue to set high expectations in how our students represent themselves as ambassadors of the College in the community and that all parents and students are fully aware of the College’s policy

UNIFORM BLITZ

Times have been scheduled in Term 2 during different points of the calendar week/day and not during Tutor Group time.

The consequence will be an immediate after school detention and NOT a lunchtime detention. 

WINTER UNIFORM REMINDERs
  • All student (Years 7 -12) must wear their blazer to and from the College. NO SPORTS JACKETS.
  • Navy stockings only.
  • Jumpers are only to be worn underneath the blazer .
  • All kilts are to be to the knee. Please check hem lengths during the holidays and before school commences as students have most probably grown since last year.
  • Year 12 jerseys are NOT to be worn off campus, or to and from College, even with blazers.  NB – Jerseys are only to be worn on College grounds.
  • All excessive jewellery, acrylic & painted nails, eyelash extensions, brightly coloured hair are to be removed before the commencement Term 2 as this will result in an immediate infringement. 

#mscwsisters raising an awareness 

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative. 

Our Student Leaders in Week 9 planned a week of educational learnings in Tutor groups, along with organised lunchtime opportunities for all to engage in some fun activities with their peers. We recognise the importance of fostering respectful relationships between all members of our community between students and staff to create a positive school climate that accepts each individual for their gifts and unique personalities. It was a wonderful week of cross connections amongst all year groups.

Functional Neurological Disorder Awareness Day – 25 March 2021

Another important awareness week that requires greater recognition within our community is Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). One of our brave students in Year 8 was interested in sharing her experience. During this journey, she has continued to develop a positive and highly optimistic outlook combined with a ferociously determined attitude.

Click here to see a clip that has been created to explain ‘what is FND?’ and best how to support someone in need.

We pride ourselves on being ‘sisters for Life’ and always looking at how best to reach out, offer social and emotional support as well as exercise compassion and understanding.
