Grandparents\u2019 visit<\/strong><\/h5>\nThe College was buzzing recently as we welcomed the grandparents of our Year 7 students. This event is always very special as we see the very unique bond that the girls have with their grandparents. The caring and nurturing environment that grandparents and carers can create provide our girls with an extra listening ear, a teacher<\/em> with life experience and a place to be \u2018spoilt\u2019<\/em>. Following our special liturgy, and an uplifting sharing of students talents and stories, all grandparents enjoyed a delicious morning tea, prepared and served by our Year 11 Hospitality class and teacher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Last Sunday, students, staff and parents participated in the\u00a0Mar<\/span>y\u2019s House Walk raising nearly $16,000.00 towards supporting women and children against domes<\/span>tic violence. A fantastic effort! Congratulations to all involved.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/09\/DSC01202.jpg\")

\u2018GALA DAY\u2019 is in the air.<\/strong><\/h5>\nI can already feel the anticipation and excitement building towards our 2024 GALA Day \u2013 Friday 13 December, as each Thursday afternoon students gather for practice in their House. I congratulate our Year 11 students for the energetic and creative ways in which they are preparing our junior students for our traditional College GALA Day. Much of the preparation is completed behind closed doors and under a \u2018cone of silence\u2019 as the competition is always fierce. This significant event builds on our community spirit, strengthens a sense of belonging in each House and will bring the 2024 year to a close in a happy and fun-filled way. I wish all the Houses well in their preparation and look forward to seeing the talents of our girls shine on the day!<\/p>\n

All Saints\u2019 Day and All Souls\u2019 Day<\/strong><\/h5>\nNovember begins with a double feast in remembrance of those who have died: All Saints\u2019 Day, 1 November followed by All Souls\u2019 Day, 2 November.<\/p>\n
All Saints\u2019 and All Souls\u2019 Days give us consolation that as saints and sinners God welcomes all. On these Feast Days we especially recall the church as a community of saints who are sinners, and sinners who did saintly things. I was always drawn to the expression: \u201cEvery saint has a past, and every sinner has a future\u201d. <\/em>An expression that always gives us much hope for the future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
My Marist Compass Goals<\/strong><\/h5>\nThe setting of goals and the satisfaction of reaching your goals is significant in supporting student wellbeing. Therefore, this significant day on Monday allows the opportunity for student, parents and teachers to reflect on the journey and student achievements reached in 2024. It also benefits the continued building of student and family relationships with Tutors as they continue to \u201cknow their student and know their learner\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
