From the Principal – Term 1 Week 9

Jenni Vile on 02/04/2026

Secondary Celebration Assembly- Colours and Honours 

On the Marcellin Campus, we came together for the final Celebration Assembly of the term on Holy Thursday. The Assembly was a capture of the wonderful work and achievements of our students across the pillars of Learning, Mission, Sport and The Arts. Within this celebration, we were delighted to award our first round of Colours and Honours to senior students. A Colour and an Honour is a recognition of excellence in one of the pillars. Excellence is not an end in itself, nor is it reserved for only a few. The excellence shown by these students is the persistence to strive for a personal best and to have the most positive effect on those around you. I also spoke to the students about reflecting on the term through the lens of personal growth in learning. At 秀秀直播, we want to help our students move from where they are to where they can be. This applies to all students across the whole College 鈥� growth is the key. 

ACC Swimming and IPSHA Swimming Carnivals 

Our Swimming teams听represented听the College with outstanding commitment and spirit in the secondary ACC A Division Carnival and the primary IPSHA听Carnival recently. Congratulations to the ACC team for lifting the College into the top three schools. The focus and commitment of the students,听coaches听and staff have really paid off in the pool. Likewise, the IPSHA team competed with a determination to secure the highest position in every single race, coming second overall. The culture of Swimming continues to grow at 秀秀直播!听

Marist Schools Basketball Carnival 

We were proud to be the hosts of this year鈥檚 national carnival. 19 schools  (27 teams) travelled to 秀秀直播 and Perth for 5 days of basketball competition and the strengthening of the Marist Family Spirit. The students and staff in the carnival were outstanding ambassadors for our community. Former Wildcats Basketballer, Greg Hire, was the guest speaker at the carnival dinner on Wednesday evening.  

Holy Week 

Our final week of term coincides with Holy Week. Holy Week is the most important week in the Church and it is ushered in by Palm Sunday last weekend. In effect, Holy Week traces the final week in Christ鈥檚 life leading to his resurrection on Easter Sunday. The Easter Triduum is the final lead of three days to Easter Sunday, beginning with Holy Thursday – the time of the Last Supper, Good Friday – the trial and crucifixion of Jesus and Holy Saturday – that time of reflection and pensive waiting the disciples of Jesus undertook before his resurrection. Easter signifies the victory of good over evil, eternal life over death. Easter Sunday is about hope, renewal and God鈥檚 love. Families celebrate Easter in many ways. For some it is the thrill of an Easter hunt, for others it is the sharing of hot cross buns, or a meal together. Family spirit is central to all the traditions of Easter, and over the Easter break I encourage all in our community to: 

  • Make time for family, enjoy activities together and show each other how much they are appreciated; 
  • Re-connect with God鈥檚 creation by being a part of our natural environment, stop and appreciate the beauty if you are travelling as we live in such a privileged place and; 
  • Being a part of services in yours or another parish. 

This is the final Newsletter for the term and what a full program we have enjoyed since the year begun! So much has been achieved by our students and staff. The welcoming of our new students in all year groups across the College in January. The beautiful celebration of the Family Mass as a full community in February; the 鈥楥elebration鈥� assemblies in Lavalla showcasing the work and talents of our primary classes, the recognition of International Women鈥檚 Day and Harmony Week. The Year 12 Ball, Lavalla and Marcellin Guild Swimming Carnivals, the IPSHA Year 6 Basketball Carnival, and this week鈥檚 Easter Liturgies. What strikes me about these events and the learning program in the classrooms is the level of engagement and effort students are putting in to work to their personal best.  There has been great work and initiative shown by students and our staff have been so supportive in bringing this full program to life during the term, and, as families, I extend my thanks to you all for your great support in Term 1.  

I wish all of you a Happy Easter and a Holy Easter.

Winter Uniform and Presentation Reminders 

As we approach the school holidays, we kindly ask parents to support the College by ensuring that any student haircuts align with our grooming expectations. If your child is considering a style that may not meet College guidelines, we encourage this to be done early in the break to allow time for any necessary adjustments before Term 2 begins. 

The commencement of term two also marks the transition to Winter Uniform for all students from Year 1 to Year 12. Students are expected to return to school in their full Winter Academic Uniform. Some points to note: 

  • Shirts must be tucked in when wearing College trousers

We would like to remind all families that time limits are strict to ensure that all families听have the opportunity to听meet. If further time is needed, this can be booked through the teacher at another time.听听

Primary Update – Term 1 Week 9

Jenni Vile on 02/04/2026

This term has been a busy and wonderful one, filled with learning, laughter and opportunities for our students to shine. Across the school, students have proudly showcased the 秀秀直播 Norms through their positive attitudes, teamwork and willingness to step outside their comfort zones. From engaging assemblies and music performances to hands鈥憃n classroom learning and memorable camp experiences, it has been a joy to see students growing in confidence and celebrating their strengths. As we head into the break, we are proud of all that has been achieved this term. 

Year 6 Leavers Shirts

Our Year 6 students also proudly received their Year 6 Leader tops and have been wearing them with great pride, demonstrating their readiness to take on their leadership roles within the school community. 

Pre-Primary – Year 2 Choir

This week, our Pre鈥慞rimary to Year 2 Choir truly amazed both the leadership team and teachers by showcasing their beautiful voices. Students confidently performed two songs they have been practising throughout the term, demonstrating great focus, enthusiasm and joy. It was an absolute privilege to watch them shine and embrace the opportunity to try something new. The choir is already looking forward to performing for parents’ next term. 

Assemblies – Year 1 Blue and Year 4 Red

Year 4 students led us in a beautiful assembly this week, proudly showcasing their learning around neurodiversity. They highlighted the important message that we all have different strengths and learn in different ways, delivering this message with confidence and maturity. 

Last week, our Year 1 students dazzled us with a 飞补迟别谤鈥憇辫别肠迟补肠耻濒补谤 assembly, perfectly timed on what turned out to be a very wet day! They enthusiastically shared their learning and showcased the wonderful science experiments they have been exploring throughout the term. It was a joyful celebration of curiosity, discovery and learning in action. 

Year 6 Camp 

Our Year 6 students recently returned from a wonderful and memorable camp experience at Forest Edge, Waroona. Throughout the camp, students were challenged by a wide variety of exciting activities, including kayaking, raft building, screen printing, crate climbing, billy karts and the flying fox. Each activity encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence and try something new. 

Along the way, we shared plenty of laughs. From life jackets being confidently put on the wrong way, to kayakers initially facing the wrong direction and paddling enthusiastically against each other, there was never a dull moment. Some students found themselves stuck in the mud, while others watched their carefully constructed rafts come apart far sooner than planned. These light鈥慼earted moments became some of the highlights of camp and reminded us all that learning is often best supported with teamwork, persistence and a good sense of humour. 

Camp also provided a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen peer relationships and see one another in a different light. Working together as a team, students encouraged one another, shared responsibilities such as serving meals, and helped with cleaning up. These shared experiences fostered independence, resilience and a strong sense of cooperation. 

Online Safety / Keeping Safe

As our children continue to grow up in an increasingly digital world, it is more important than ever that we work together to ensure their online experiences are safe, respectful, and age-appropriate. While technology offers wonderful opportunities for learning and connection, it can also expose children to risks, including contact from strangers through seemingly innocent platforms like gaming modules.

We remind parents and carers to be extra vigilant when it comes to their child鈥檚 online interactions. This includes monitoring chat functions in games, setting parental controls, and having open conversations with your child about who they talk to and what they encounter online.

At 秀秀直播, we take a proactive approach to digital safety. The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum is taught across all year levels, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to stay safe, including in online environments. We also enhance this learning through initiatives such as the upcoming Constable Care Incursion for our Year 3鈥�6 students, which includes key messages around personal safety and online behaviour.

For practical advice on how to support your child鈥檚 online safety at home, we recommend visiting the .

Mother’s Day Morning Tea

End of Term  

As we come to the end of a busy but wonderful term, it has been fantastic to see our students finish strongly while consistently showcasing our 秀秀直播 Norms. Their commitment, resilience and positive attitudes have been evident across classrooms, playgrounds and school events, and we are very proud of their efforts. 

Thank you to our students, staff and families for your continued support throughout the term. We wish everyone a safe, restful and happy Easter break and look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed for the new term.
