Mary\u2019s House Walk<\/b><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

During the Principal\u2019s Assembly in Week 5, we were lucky enough to be joined by the CEO of Mary\u2019s House Services, Yvette Vignando, and the Operations Manager, Lilli Greer. Mary\u2019s House Services is an organisation dedicated to helping women and children in unsafe situations and aims to \u201c<\/span>say no to domestic violence in our community.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 Yvette spoke about the refuge and programs that Mary\u2019s House provides and mentioned alarming statistics including how one in three women are victims of domestic violence at some point in their lives<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Vignando also spoke about what our Marist community can do to help. The best way for our school community to do this is through participation in the Mary\u2019s House Walk as well as donating to this worthy cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year Mary\u2019s House does a 10km walk to help fundraise money towards their services. We really encourage all girls, their families and staff to get involved in this walk. The walk will take place on Sunday the 27th of October and will commence at around 8:30 am in North Sydney. Although 10km may be a long distance, and it may be a challenge for a lot of people, we believe that it is something that we can overcome as a college community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome to join our Marist team and do the walk with your friends, family and pets. Feel comfortable to wear whatever you want and students will not need to pay a registration fee but we do recommend that the girls get sponsored at least $25. Donations will allow the organisation to provide more case management hours for families accessing the Mary\u2019s House refuge and the provision of programs to assist women at their local centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

More information on how to sign up has been communicated through the Compass Newsfeed and the school\u2019s social media pages, as well as through the poster below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please refer to the <\/span>website<\/span><\/a> for further information. Students, families and staff can click on the <\/span>link<\/span><\/a> on how to register.<\/span><\/p>\n
