Year 7 Students are on their way to achieving their eSmart Digital Licence+ under the guidance of their Empower teachers. They started this week with Module 3, The Best Offense is Kindness. This module will explore behavioural cyber risk awareness, upstanding and positive online cultures, and dealing with antisocial behaviours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Supporting our Marist women of Action to become digital citizens who are engaged in positive behaviours online and actively keep themselves safe.<\/span><\/p>\n Online safety basics | eSafety Commissioner<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The eSafety Guide<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Learn about the latest games, apps and social media, including how to protect your information and report harmful content.<\/span><\/p>\n App checklist<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This link is a useful reference for parents about safety and security settings.<\/span><\/p>\n Learn how to use parental controls and other tools to maximise online safety in your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Online safety basics | eSafety Commissioner<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n MAINTAINING ROUTINE\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Term break is often seen as a time for students to develop a routine that will be challenging for them to adjust to in two weeks. They may stay up later than usual, engage in social media a lot more, nourish themselves at varying times, and move less.<\/span><\/p>\n We encourage our students to use this time to continue to develop connections with one another face-to-face. Put down their devices and screens and meet in real life. They may not be at school, but with your support, they do have the ability to meet and engage in activities such as ice skating, rock climbing, movies, helping others, and perhaps even planning for Term 2 together.<\/span><\/p>\n How can you help your daughter maintain her routine, especially sleep hygiene?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Suggestions:<\/b><\/p>\n REMINDER: Attendance<\/span><\/p>\n Attendance Policy | Sydney Catholic Schools<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b>Why Feeling Connected at School Matters More Than You Think<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n School attendance is compulsory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n School attendance is a protective factor for your people as it supports their social and emotional well-being by providing them with <\/span>connections<\/b> that foster a sense of <\/span>belonging<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n It is in your daughter’s best interest to attend school every day, and while she is at school, she engages with her learning in the classroom environment, demonstrating positive behaviours that exemplify respect – <\/span>respect of self and others<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>students and staff<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n We understand that at times, medical appointments may be necessary during school time. If appointments appear to be occurring regularly, we may request evidence that your daughter is seeking medical care.<\/span><\/p>\n To depart for medical appointments, students are required to enter a note into Compass, our student management system, explaining the reason for their absence from school before they are picked up by a parent. Students will not be permitted to depart the College unless a parent is physically present at the Student Office to witness them sign out using their Compass Card.<\/span><\/p>\n Term Two will commence with the community celebrating the life of St Peter Chanel.<\/span><\/p>\n Born in the diocese of Belley, France, Peter\u2019s interest in the missions began in school. A Marist priest and the first martyr of the South Pacific, Saint Peter Chanel worked on the island\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n of Futuna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n His life is an example of an individual who consistently reached out to others in service, as the students at MSCW do through their commitment to Marist Service by sharing their gifts with <\/span>others. His determination is also witnessed in the growth of our students who strive upward in learning and connecting with others.Chanel House Mass Wednesday 7th May: 5pm to 7:30pm<\/span><\/p>\n See Compass for more information about how the community will celebrate one of our House Patrons.<\/span><\/p>\n The College subscription to <\/span>Happy Families <\/b>with Dr Justin Coulson is provided to support you in the journey of parenting teenagers.<\/span><\/p>\n Happy Families<\/b> is a resource designed by Dr. Justin Coulson, one of Australia\u2019s leading parenting experts.
