Over the last couple of weeks, students have experienced the School Start Program, the Thursday Sport program, our Opening School Mass, the High Achiever Assembly, and the opportunity to lead their My Marist Compass Goal-setting conference with the support of their parents\/carers and their Tutor teacher. It has definitely been an exciting introduction to the academic school year. On Monday, we have the College Swimming Carnival. Life at the College is full!<\/p>\n

Communication at the College<\/strong><\/h5>\n

To support the students and staff of Marist Sisters\u2019 College in communicating effectively with each other, it is necessary to ensure that communications among all members of the College community are respectful, professional, timely, and clear. Building positive relationships among all stakeholders in a child\u2019s education is based on mutual respect and trust, resulting in support for improving student learning. Effective communication between parents and teachers is crucial to this success and to students’ well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The College works closely with the Sydney Catholic Schools\u00a0Parent Charter<\/a>\u00a0to nurture a partnership between the College and parents.\u00a0The College\u00a0Flowchart Parent Inquiry\/Complaint\/Issue<\/a> provides parents with appropriate pathways to contact College staff, depending on the nature of the inquiry.<\/span> This document can also be accessed via COMPASS favourites to assist parents in determining the first point of contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n
