High Achievers’ from the Class of 2022<\/h4>\n
Congratulations to our Class of 2022, who returned to the College last week, for HSC Achievement celebrations. It was wonderful to see almost 35 girls, who through their hard work, dedication and sustained commitment achieved so highly. Their success adds to past achievements of our HSC students and is one of the best results in the 115-year history of the College. We are so proud of the girls.<\/p>\n
So, what was the secret to their success? They Set Goals. Each of the high achievers began their preparations by setting weekly and term goals. They acquired this habit in Year 7 and refined it into a successful strategy to guarantee optimum success in Year 12. They each set personal and academic goals. On some occasions they had to be agile and re-shape their goals. I really admired their personal resolve in difficult times. It was quite remarkable. Our current MSCW girls have just completed their My Marist Compass Goals conversations with their Tutors and parents. It is this process that sets them up for success in future years. Goal setting, small and large, enables real purpose, steady improvement, and a sense of achievement which supports positive wellbeing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n At our Assembly, we were very fortunate to have two of the Marist sisters, Sr Maureen Crick and Sr Mary Farrelly as well as ex-student Phoebe McDermott. Phoebe represented the Class of 2017, inspiring the girls by sharing her experiences since leaving MSCW. Phoebe spoke most eloquently of the importance of \u2018giving back\u2019 as well as her continued involvement in service opportunities. The skills she learnt in public speaking and debating have also enabled her to be a confident young woman which is assisting her career path in Law.<\/p>\n Katia Gavljak, College Dux, (ATAR 99.75) spoke of her own personal journey giving practical strategies that students could adopt. It was Katia\u2019s persistence, hard work, positive rapport with her teachers, seeking clarity as needed, and strategies for continual improvement which contributed to her significant success.<\/p>\n Mr Justin Hodges, Leader of Learning and Curriculum provides a full report later in the Newsletter.<\/p>\n Cerdon Plaza was buzzing as we welcomed our new Year 7 parents and students last Friday Night. The weather was perfect which provided the ideal environment for great conversation while enjoying the delicious pizza cooked onsite. Our Year 7 students were also treated to fun activities organised by their Year 10 Amica leaders. Thanks to all who were part of the planning and hospitality on the night, especially our Year 12 Parents, Tracey Turri, Anja Niewolik, Tess McDowell, Jen Turnbull, Michelle O’Brien, Jana Gibson, Vincenza Galluzzo, Kelly Easton, Mariella Testa, Michele Di Giacomo, Julie and Barry Broom; our Year 12 and 11 Hospitality students supported by their teacher Mrs Erin Healey; the Year 10 Amica Leaders supported by the Leader of Wellbeing, Ms Angela Bowland, Assistant Leader of Wellbeing, Ms Grace Spurr and House Coordinators and Mrs Melinda Alvarez and Mr Andrew Hallman who coordinated the event.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-22-at-12.05.23-pm.png\")
