From the Principal

As a Catholic school in the tradition of the Marist Sisters, service is more than just an expectation—it is a fundamental part of the educational and spiritual journey for each student at MSCW. Inspired by Mary and guided by the teachings of Christ, our students are encouraged to undertake a variety of service hours each year. These acts of service allow students to grow in faith, compassion, and leadership, embodying the values that make Catholic education truly distinctive.

At the heart of Catholic social teaching is the call to serve others, particularly those in need. As part of a school-wide initiative, every student is encouraged to log their Marist Service hours so that these can be acknowledged each year. Students are presented with a variety of opportunities to help the school and wider community. From assisting with College events such as debating and public speaking, House Masses and parent information evenings, to organising bake sales or food drives for charity, to raising awareness about important issues in our community and the wider world, the students are making a wonderful contribution and a difference.

Many of you would have seen the recent posts about the Balmoral Burn on our College’s social pages. This is another example of service from our students. A group of over 70 students volunteered their time early on a Sunday morning and competed in a race up a very steep hill, to raise awareness and money to purchase medical equipment for childrens’ hospitals. Our MSCW Team raised over $17000 to donate to the Humpty Dumpty Foundation! This was the largest amount raised by any school group. I am incredibly proud of this team effort and thank every student, staff member and parent/carer who contributed to the campaign this year.

Last month, I had the privilege of attending a Vice Regal event at Government House for supporters of Mary’s House Services. This charity organisation helps women and children impacted by domestic violence. Many MSCW students and community members participated in the Mary’s House Walk last year, raising awareness and funds to support this cause. This is another example of meaningful service that our students contribute to the community. Her Excellency, the Honorable Margaret Beazley AC, KC, Governor of NSW thanked the MSCW community for their wonderful support. We will participate in the Mary’s House Walk again this year. The event will take place on Sunday 26 October and more information will be made available soon. 

At MSCW, our mission is not just to educate the mind but also the heart and the whole person. By embracing service, students grow into compassionate individuals who live out their faith through action. By being true Marist women of action they are prepared not just for academic success but for a life of purpose and service.

Our students’ contributions are meaningful and far-reaching. These acts of service do more than benefit those in need—they strengthen our school community and further instill our Catholic values that last a lifetime. May this spirit of Marist service continue to grow, shaping not only our College but the wider community for years to come.

Congratulations to our students for being true Marist women of action!

TTFM

The “Tell Them From Me” (TTFM) survey is used extensively across Australia, the Student, Teacher, and Parent/Carer surveys enable schools to measure and understand the factors that are known to have a direct and profound impact on well-being and student learning within schools. We ask that all parents/carers complete the MSCW survey as we value your feedback.

Thank you to the parents/carers who have already completed the survey.

God bless,

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD (1 June)

On Sunday we celebrated the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. But what does this mean? In 2011 Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI wrote the following about the meaning of the ascension:

[The ascension of Jesus] expresses our belief that in Christ human nature, the humanity in which we all share, has entered into the inner life of God in a new and hitherto unheard of way.  It means that man has found an everlasting place in God.

For the disciples, the “ascension” was not what we usually misinterpret it as being: the temporary absence of Christ from the world.  It meant rather his new, definitive, and irrevocable presence by participation in God’s royal power… God has a place for man!… In God there is a place for us!…”Be consoled, flesh and blood, for in Christ you have taken possession of heaven and of God’s kingdom!” (Tertullian)

SAINT MARCELLIN CHAMPAGNAT’S FEAST DAY (6 June)

This week we celebrate the Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat, one of the founding priests of the Marist Movement and the patron of our Marcellin House. Marcellin green was prominent throughout the week as they raised funds for Marist Mission and the Balay Banaag Project in Philippines. Marcellin saw a need in his world and decided to take action by providing an education for the poorest and most underprivileged members of his society. The House that has taken his name at MSCW continued his work this week. 

Marcellin’s strong will made him a determined and persistent leader. These qualities were great gifts. Marcellin Champagnat took seriously the Good News of Jesus Christ. He was a holy man because he lived his ordinary life exceptionally well and did ordinary things with extraordinary love. Having discovered the joy of the gospel and letting it transform him, Marcellin wanted to share with others, particularly the young, all that he had seen and heard. “To love God,” Marcellin often said, “and to labour to make God known and loved – this is what a brother’s life should be.” With these few words, the future saint painted his own portrait and recounted his own story. His was a heart that knew no bounds.

We pray this week above all that through Marcellin’s example we can place ourselves in God’s hands and by His grace be people who show do ordinary things with extraordinary love!

PENTECOST (8 June)

Pentecost is a Christian holiday, observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter, that celebrates the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1-31). The day of Pentecost is known in the Christian Church as the day on which the Spirit descended upon the apostles. Guided by Peter’s preaching, many thousands were converted in Jerusalem.

Why do Christians celebrate Pentecost?

“Modern Christians observe Pentecost as a holiday, not to celebrate a wheat harvest, but to remember when the Holy Spirit invaded the Church in Acts 2.” https://www.christianity.com/jesus/early-church-history/pentecost/where-did-pentecost-come-from.html

The description states that, after Jesus ascended into heaven, Jesus’ followers were gathered together for the Feast of Harvest (aka Pentecost), and the Holy Spirit “filled the whole house where they were sitting”. “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them”. This unusual event drew a large crowd, and Peter stood up to speak to them about repentance and the gospel of Christ. By the end of the day that the Holy Spirit came, the Church grew by 3,000 people. This is why Christians still celebrate Pentecost.

June:  The Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 

🔥 What’s June All About?

June in the Catholic calendar is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a powerful symbol of God’s endless love for each of us. It’s not just about a heart on fire (though it is 🔥), it’s about how deeply Jesus cares for YOU, no matter what.

In a world that can be cold or full of pressure, the Sacred Heart reminds us that God’s love is warm, personal, and constant.

Why It Matters to Us

High school can be full-on. Deadlines. Friendships. Family dramas. Life gets messy. But the Sacred Heart is a reminder that Jesus is right there in the middle of it, loving us through it all.

His heart is:

• Wounded – because He understands pain.
• Burning with love – because you matter to Him.
• Open – inviting us to come as we are.

The Sacred Heart is God saying, “I see you, I love you, and I’m with you.”

🕊️ What Pope Francis Said 💬

Pope Francis often encouraged young people to draw close to the Sacred Heart, calling it “the greatest school of love.” He reminded us that this Heart is not distant or symbolic, it’s alive, full of mercy, compassion, and a place to find real peace.

 A Prayer for June: Sacred Heart, Be My Guide

Assessment and Reporting in Stages 4 & 5

Each Semester, the College publishes an academic report to parents and carers about each student’s learning outcomes. Teachers will shortly commence the reporting process.

The New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) requires all schools in NSW to report on grades and reportable outcomes as part of their ongoing commitment to improving student learning outcomes. Teachers must use their professional judgment to assess their students’ work and provide an overall grade for the reporting period. This means that a student’s grade needs to be determined using a range of evidence, not just one or two formal assessments.

So, what evidence can a teacher use to make these assessments? There are a variety of sources that a teacher can draw from, including:

Learning Activities and Classroom Observations:

Teachers observe students completing classwork, homework, and assessments, noting their progress and areas where they need additional support.

Formal Assessment Tasks:

Teachers use a range of assessment tasks, including tests, essays, and projects, to gather evidence of student learning.

Student Feedback:

Teachers listen to and consider student feedback on their learning, including their strengths and areas for improvement.

Our teachers will use their professional judgement to make an overall assessment of a student’s performance based on all the evidence available.

In our Assessment Handbooks, students will have their “Semester One Grade reported based on learning activities, practicals and formal tasks for the semester.” Students were advised of this in our Start-to-School sessions at the beginning of Term 1.

Our Lady Help of Christians Mass

On Friday, 23 May, three Year 11 students attended the Our Lady Help of Christians Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral. The mass celebrated the Solemnity of Our Lady and was presided by Bishop Richard Umbers, Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney. The mass invited students to contemplate and honour Mary and to thank our heavenly Father for Mary, our protector, who is the perfect model of love, understanding and compassion. 

The feast of Our Lady Help of Christians was celebrated in Parishes on Saturday 24th May to honour the Blessed Virgin Mary’s powerful intercession and maternal protection, especially in times of trial and danger. This title of Mary became widely known after Pope Pius VII instituted the feast on May 24 in gratitude for his safe return to Rome in 1814 after being imprisoned by Napoleon. The devotion emphasises Mary’s role as a helper and protector of the Church and the faithful.

Thank you to Isabella Elkorr, Sarah Mourani and Sofia Vella for representing the College at the Mass.

Mrs Veronica Del Buono, Assistant Religious Education Coordinator

Year 11 and 12 Youth Afternoon

Last Friday, Year 11 and 12 students from our local deanery schools gathered at Holy Cross College for the Deanery Youth Afternoon. Marist College Eastwood and Holy Cross College joined 42 representatives from Marist Sisters’ College to explore the theme “Pilgrims of Hope in a Modern World.” Imogen and Sofia from Sydney Catholic Youth delivered inspiring talks on the role of faith in guiding personal journeys. It was lovely to see students put themselves forward to experience what the Youth Afternoons are all about – encouraging and inspiring one another through shared faith and connection. The event concluded with a pizza dinner and a chance to build new friendships, before Father Brian from St Kevin’s, Eastwood, led the group in a closing prayer.

Marists in Action 

This term, the Marists in Action (MIA) group has been hard at work brainstorming ways to make a meaningful impact for World Environment Day on the 5th of June. From discussing waste reduction strategies to exploring creative ways to promote sustainability on campus, we’re committed to turning ideas into action. Our group has been collaborating to develop initiatives that inspire real change, and we’re excited to bring these plans to life. We are looking for more students who are eager to join us in creating and promoting these initiatives over the coming weeks. All students are welcome!

The MIA group meets every Day 6, Monday at lunch in Room 131. Let’s make a difference together!

Celebrating Chanel Week

Saint Peter Chanel was martyred on April 28, 1841, after dedicating the final years of his life to missionary work in Oceania. He served the people of Futuna with humility and kindness, striving to share the Christian faith while embodying the Marist spirit in all he did. Chanel Week invites us to reflect on his values and challenges us to follow his example in our own lives.

Chanel House began the week with a lively Kahoot activity and the symbolic wearing of red ribbons. Embracing House spirit, students gathered in Bon for a Gala Day screening, enjoying a look back at last year’s performances. Special commendation goes to our senior Chanelians for their leadership and organisation of the bake sale, and to all students who contributed.

The Chanel Mass during the week, was a beautiful celebration of Saint Peter Chanel and a special opportunity for students and their families to come together in faith and community. The evening showcased the many talents of our students, each contributing to a meaningful and memorable liturgy. It was a truly uplifting occasion that reflected the spirit and unity of Chanel House.

The week concluded with great energy and laughter during the Teacher Sponge Throw, an event thoroughly enjoyed by students, if less so by the teachers involved! The week concluded with a highly anticipated visit from the Purple Prince Açaí food truck, which alone raised an impressive $660 for Marist Mission.

Congratulations to Chanel Co-Captains Sarah Khoury and Angelina Sesar Pratelli for their initiative and resilience in coordinating these events. Their efforts along with the support from other senior Chanel students, ensured the week was a resounding success and a true celebration of Chanel House spirit.

I am incredibly proud of the Chanel House for coming together in celebration of Saint Peter Chanel, and for embodying the values of kindness and community throughout the College.

Jaricot Week 2025

In Week 4 of Term 2, our community came together in a vibrant celebration of faith, unity, and purpose as we honoured our House Patron, Pauline Jaricot, during Jaricot Week. It was a time filled with joy, reflection, and meaningful action, one that truly brought our 2025 House Vision, “Unity Through Participation and Purpose,” to life.

Throughout the week, students engaged in a variety of activities that deepened their understanding of Pauline Jaricot’s legacy while strengthening the bonds within our house. From the moment students received their magenta ribbons on Monday morning (Pauline’s own symbol of humility) the tone was set for a week of connection and community spirit.

The Lolly Jar Guessing Competition brought excitement and friendly competition, while Tuesday’s scavenger hunt encouraged students to explore the campus in search of hidden quotes and images that told the story of Pauline’s mission and values. These small moments of discovery helped students connect with her message in a personal and engaging way.

Wednesday featured the much-loved Jaricot Bake Sale, where the generosity of our students and families was on full display. The delicious treats, donated by Jaricot House, were a hit across the school and raised significant funds for our chosen charity. That evening, the Jaricot House Mass and Supper offered a beautiful opportunity for families, staff, and students to gather in prayer and fellowship. The Mass was a moving tribute to our shared values, with heartfelt contributions from our choir, pianists, and student volunteers who made the evening so special.

The week concluded with the Jaricot Carnival on Friday, a joyful celebration complete with slushies and donuts. It was a fitting end to a week that balanced fun with purpose and reminded us of the power of community when we come together with intention.

All funds raised during Jaricot Week were donated to Marist180, an organisation whose mission closely mirrors that of Pauline Jaricot. Just as Pauline dedicated her life to supporting missions and uplifting the vulnerable, Marist180 works to empower young people through education, accommodation, and employment opportunities. Together, we raised both awareness and support for this vital cause.

This year’s Jaricot Week was also a testament to the strength of our student leadership. Our House Captains: Molly, Charlotte, and Emily led with energy, compassion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Their efforts, along with the support of our students, tutor teachers, staff, volunteers, and families, made this week not only possible but truly memorable.

As we reflect on the success of Jaricot Week, we are reminded that living with purpose doesn’t require grand gestures. It simply asks us to show up, support one another, and stay true to our values. In doing so, we honour the legacy of Pauline Jaricot and continue to build a house community grounded in unity, participation, and purpose.

Artist Statement

Moving to the city has encouraged me to appreciate the beauty of natural landscapes, especially those surrounding me when I am home. My body of work represents what makes my home important to me: the landscape – a vast land full of stories; my beloved cattle dogs Korra and Pip; a Red Angus cow. My work communicates ideas of country life and, on a personal level, what makes my home a comfort and place of respite from the business of the city. The tin and wood, found on my farm, were fundamental in conveying the concept of home and rural life.

19th Annual Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Servicemen And Servicewomen Service

On Friday 30 May, student representatives from MSCW attended the 19th Annual Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Servicemen And Servicewomen Service at the Hyde Park ANZAC Memorial to pay respects to the First Nations peoples who have served and are serving in our nation’s defence forces, and especially to pray for those fallen in war. The service began with a smoking ceremony and overall was a special intertwining of faith, culture and history. 

 

We will remember them. Lest We Forget.
