From the Leader of Wellbeing
As we conclude the term and all that it has encompassed, let us also draw on our attention to our reflections and the power of gratitude during this time. Whilst there has been a range of challenges, frustrations and disappointments, we also need to acknowledge the enormous personal learnings that we have all experienced, enabling us to grow, build upon our resilience and exercise grit as Marist women of the 21st century.
Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive…that is where God is (Ignatius of Loyola SJ)
Foundress Day: Empowering our Marist Students to be Women of Action
Leadership is about the art of motivating, influencing and directing people so that they work together to achieve the unified goals or vision for our broader school community. It’s important for students of all years to experience leadership opportunities during their schooling so that they learn the art of building relationships within teams, defining identities and achieving tasks effectively.
Our Foundress Day celebration shone the light in creating a community of connection and inclusivity. The activities that have been devised by the Wellbeing team promise to offer the opportunity for collective fun whilst providing scope for our young Marist women to be creative, collaborative and confident in their engagement of activities. There was something for everyone!
A special thank you to all the House Coordinators and Ms Gemma Muller (Assistant Leader of Wellbeing) for their tireless commitment to their students. It epitomises the core values of a Marist education and all that our Founder, Jeanne – Marie Chavoin, encapsulated as a Marist woman of action.
Year 12 Holiday Self-care
The two week holiday period will certainly be a welcomed break for our Year 12 students with an opportunity to combine study whilst balancing good habits of self-care. ReachOut has a fantastic page on managing emotions during times of exam stress. I would encourage ‘checking in’ with your daughter and, if need be, help plan a combined balance of study and downtime, inclusive of rewarding meeting targets and goals during the break. Whilst we have prioritised this topic area in our Wellbeing Community time, it is important that we communicate this as being a life skill that our students will continue to engage with well after their time here at the College. Be sure to reach out via email to the College Counsellor or me if there is a significant concern over the holiday.
