Jaricot Week

Week 5, the College community come together to celebrate Jaricot Week in recognition of Pauline Jaricot who demonstrated Devotion to supporting those less fortunate and sacrifices were made to achieve what was right through quiet devotion and faith. The Week saw members of the Jaricot and College Community come together to live out these values and pledge their support and actions for creating an inclusive and nurturing environment at MSCW. 

Jaricot House students led a number of activities throughout the week to raise awareness of Pauline and the values of our amazing Pink House. Monday saw each homeroom write a reflection on how they can create a nurturing and caring environment at MSCW on an image of the Jarbiru Bird, a key symbol on the Jaricot Crest and a symbol of protection and support. These are on display in Coutouvre Foyer. 

To make those frosty mornings more tolerable, a Hot Chocolate stand was set up on Futuna where students were invited to donate what they could in return for a hot chocolate. This act reflects the work that Pauline Jaricot started in seeking donations to help those less fortunate and accepted any donation, large or small. 

Students were encouraged to come together and live out the Jaricot value of striving together with some skipping on the flat on Tuesday and an intense couple of games of Dodge Ball on Thursday. The highlight being the Yr11 V Yr12 match up in which Year 12 came out victorious. 

The week concluded with the much awaiting Bake Sale with a range of delicious treats provided by Jaricot students (and a very dedicated and supportive Marcellin student). A great level of support was given by the whole community raising much needed funds for the Marist Missions. 

A huge thank you to the Jaricot House and all staff and students for their support and involvement throughout the week.
