At today鈥檚 Y3-6 assembly, Year 3 Blue brought to life the magic and fun of reading. Our students took us on a magical journey and delved into some of our classic book favourites; Harry Potter, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the Magical Faraway Tree, just to name a few.
We were also lucky to enjoy some special musical performances by our Junior Bands. Well done to all of these little performers!
It was another opportunity for our Upper Primary classes to come together and celebrate our students鈥� academic and musical achievements over the past fortnight. Congratulations to all students who were recognised and received a Merit Award / Achievement Certificate. Continue to let your talents shine.

Medals of Marcellin Winners
Congratulations to our Medals of Marcellin winners for this week, Saanvi Gondariya Year 3, Indi Ellies Year 1, and Hugo McBain, Year 5.
Carpark Courtesy and Safety
Since returning for Term Four, a few parents have reached out to share concerns about some tense moments in the carpark and an increasing number of cars parking on the grass, even when spaces are still available in the overflow carpark.
We kindly ask all families to demonstrate our Family Spirit when accessing the carpark, showing patience, care, and respect for others.
A gentle reminder that Kiss and Ride should be accessed from 3.10pm onwards, allowing our younger students 鈥� whose classrooms are located closer to the carpark 鈥� time to move safely through the area before the afternoon rush.
Thank you for helping us keep our carpark a calm and safe space for everyone.
2026 Booklists
We鈥檙e pleased to share that from the 2026 school year, our Primary campus will be moving to a booklist system through Box of Books, an Australian company that specialises in simplifying school resource purchasing for families and schools alike.
What is Box of Books?
Box of Books is a trusted provider used by schools across Australia. The Secondary school has been using Box of Books for the past two years with great success. They offer:
Pre-filled, year-level specific booklists aligned with our curriculum
High-quality stationery and textbooks
Convenient online ordering with home delivery
Competitive pricing and clear instructions for each year group
What This Means for You
Instead of receiving a stationery list and sourcing items yourself, families will:
Receive a link to a custom online booklist for their child鈥檚 year group.
Place an order directly through the Box of Books online portal.
Have items delivered to your home before the start of Term 1.
This change not only saves time and reduces the hassle of shopping, but also ensures all students have consistent, high-quality materials that support their learning.
What鈥檚 Next?
More details, including access instructions and key dates for ordering, will be sent via email to all families in the next week. Our school office will also be available to support any families who may need help with the process.
We鈥檙e excited about this improvement and confident it will make the back-to-school experience smoother for everyone.
Respectful Communication 鈥� Working Together for Our Students
At 秀秀直播, we value the strong partnerships we share with our families. When we work together with kindness, understanding, and respect, we create the best possible environment for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.
From time to time, concerns or questions naturally arise. If this happens, we encourage you to reach out directly to your child鈥檚 classroom teacher in the first instance, as they know your child best and are often able to resolve matters quickly and positively. For more complex issues, please contact the Leader of Wellbeing or Leader of Learning to arrange a time for a chat.
We also ask that communication with staff be respectful and considerate. Long or emotionally charged emails, particularly those sent late at night, can have a real impact on staff wellbeing. Our teachers and leaders are deeply committed to supporting your children, and approaching conversations calmly and constructively helps us do this in the best way possible.
Thank you for continuing to partner with us in a spirit of respect and care as we work together to help your children shine.
Grandparents Day
Friday 7 November 2025
9.00am in the Undercover Area, followed by classroom visits and morning tea.
This week on Marcellin Campus, conversations among year levels have focused on maintaining expectations despite it being Term Four. Students have been reminded about the College鈥檚 uniform and personal presentation guidelines. The focus of our discussions has included the following:
Formal school shirts are ironed and clean, and the only button undone is the top collar button.
Shorts are the correct size and not worn lower than the hips.
Haircuts must be of blade length number 3 or longer, and there should be no major discrepancy between long and short/shaved hair.
Makeup is not to be worn.
Only one set of earrings are worn.
Skirts should reach the knee when standing.
Male students must always be cleanly shaven.
A few students across year levels have been asked by their Leader of Wellbeing to lengthen their skirts by letting down the hem or purchasing a new skirt.

Year 9 Rite Journey 鈥� Abyss Camp
The Year 9 students will be taking part in The Rite Journey Abyss Camp on:
Boys: Wednesday 5 -Thursday 6 November
Girls: Thursday 6 鈥� Friday 7 November.
The Abyss is a one-night camp held onsite at 秀秀直播. Students will bring their overnight bag and equipment with them to school on the day they are participating; they will need to bring this straight to the Exam Centre in the morning when they arrive. The items will be locked away for the day and they will collect them at 3.15pm when the Camp schedule commences.
The camp program is designed to be a challenge for the students and will involve some physical activities. Students will be placed in situations where they are required to work together, to communicate and cooperate. Activities include:
Setting up and sleeping in a tent overnight on the oval,
Team challenges,
Hiking,
Reflection activities.
This term, students have been engaging in challenges that are life lessons and will give them a sense of accomplishment. Challenges range from changing a car tyre and patching a hole in the wall, to planning and cooking a meal for the family. These activities act as pre-cursors to the Abyss experience.
The Abyss experience marks a symbolic and significant part of The Rite Journey Program. It challenges students to step beyond their comfort zones and provides an opportunity for personal growth, self-awareness, and teamwork in an outdoor environment.
We are incredibly excited to accompany the students on this important step. Staff have been preparing a meaningful and supportive program that blends physical activity with emotional development, encouraging students to engage deeply with themselves, their peers, and their place in the world.
State Sporting Representation
Congratulations to the following students for selection in the Western Australian teams in their respective sports:
Torah Wellman and Ashlee Kruger (Year 9), who represented Western Australia at the National U14 Hockey Championships in Brisbane October 5-11.
State and National Representation is an honour and an important stepping stone in an athlete鈥檚 journey. We commend these students for their dedication and commitment to their sport.
If your child has achieved state or national recognition in their sport or extra-curricular activity, we would love to hear about it so we can celebrate their success. Please let us know the details by filling out this form.

St John Henry 秀秀直播 Day and Loud Socks
On Friday 17 October (Week 1), we will be celebrating St John Henry 秀秀直播 Day and Loud Socks Day in support of Telethon Speech and Hearing. We will be celebrating a Primary Mass, followed by some special activities and asking all students to wear their loudest socks to increase awareness of people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
2026 Class Allocations
At the start of Term 4, teachers will commence working on class groupings for the 2026 School year. Many factors are considered when selecting student class placements, including gender, pastoral needs, social and emotional needs, academic needs, special learning needs, and relationships. Every effort is made to give children the best opportunity to succeed. All 秀秀直播 teachers are outstanding professionals in their field, and students will receive a high-quality education no matter which class they are placed in.
Early in Term 4, students will be asked by their Classroom Teacher to nominate five friends, of which at least one will be placed in their 2026 class.
If you believe your child has special pastoral needs that may need consideration, you are asked to contact your child鈥檚 classroom teacher or contact Ryan via email at ryan.vonbergheim@newman.wa.edu.au early in Term 4.
Any requests must be provided to the class teacher or myself by 3:00pm Tuesday 21 October (Week 3). Requests made after this date cannot be considered.
Parents should understand that requests cannot be guaranteed as staff must consider a wide range of factors when creating class groupings within a triple-stream school. Parents should be aware that requesting a specific teacher is not a consideration in the class allocation process.
Once class lists have been finalised, they cannot be changed. Class lists will be published to families at the conclusion of our Move-up Day, details of which will be communicated next term.
Mindful Mornings
As we head into the holiday break, I encourage all families to take time for rest, renewal, and to keep safe while enjoying time together. This term has been particularly special as we have continued the journey of bringing our campuses together, strengthening the sense of one community united in spirit and purpose.
As I wrap up my time as Acting Head of Primary, I want to thank our students, staff, and families for the incredible support, warmth, and trust you have shown. It has been a privilege to serve during this time of growth and transition. At the beginning of next term, we look forward to welcoming back Mr Ryan Von Bergheim from leave, and I know you will join me in supporting him as he resumes his role as Head of Primary.
On Friday 17 October (Term 4, Week 1), the College will celebrate the Feast of St John Henry 秀秀直播. Students will attend Mass during PCG and Period 1, and attendance at this event is compulsory. If your child has an appointment scheduled, you are asked to move this to an alternate day or time. Students must wear their Summer Academic Uniform for Mass.
Champagnat Shield Announcement
On Monday 22 September, our College community gathered just before lunch to celebrate the announcement of the 2025 Champagnat Shield winner. The event was proudly led by our Wellbeing Captains and Mission Captains, who brought great energy to the occasion.
The Champagnat Shield recognises Guild excellence across a range of areas, including academic performance, sporting achievements, immersion engagement, mass attendance, and commendations.
Marcellin Guild was awarded 1st place, with an impressive 3107 points, finishing just 22 points ahead of second place!
To celebrate, Marcellin Guild enjoyed an extended PCG session and lunch, joined by their PCG teachers. Students were treated to a BBQ, Krispy Kremes, and a variety of activities including archery, outdoor games and a Nintendo competition.
The race for the 2026 Champagnat Shield will commence on Tuesday 14 October.
