To support parents in their role as primary educators for their children, we are offering the Family Life Education Program (Personal Development), which is presented by the Catholic Marriage and Fertility Services, to students in Years 6.
These are 90 minute sessions for single sex groups entitled 鈥楤ecoming a Woman鈥� and 鈥楤ecoming a Man鈥�. The content of both the boys and girls sessions covers 鈥楲ife Before Birth鈥�, 鈥楶hysical and Emotional Change鈥�, 鈥楬ormonal Change鈥�, 鈥楬ygiene Practices鈥� and 鈥楩orming Healthy Friendships鈥�. The girls session includes the menstrual cycle, 鈥楳anaging Menstruation鈥� and 鈥楤oys are Changing Too鈥�. The boys session includes 鈥楪irls are Changing Too鈥�.
Whilst recognising education of children in human sexuality is primarily the right of parents, these programs are endorsed by our Archbishop and the Catholic Education Office of Western Australia.
A Consent2Go will be sent to parents prior to the day to indicate whether you give permission for your child to attend the Family Life Workshop and participate in supporting class lessons. If you would prefer to teach about sexual development to your child personally and do not wish your child to be present either at these sessions or in classes, please indicate this on the Consent2Go.
Book Week will be celebrated across the College in Term 4 Week 2 (Monday 19 鈥� Friday 23 October 2020). This year鈥檚 Book Week theme is Curious Creatures, Wild Minds!
Activities will include:
The day provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with the College environment and to meet some of their classmates. Students will be given a tour of the College, they will meet their Peer Mentors and will participate in a series of games and activities designed to foster friendships.
Students will also complete an On-Entry Assessment. Students do not need to bring any writing material as all stationery will be provided to them.
What to Wear
Students are asked to wear their current primary school sports uniform and to bring their school hat.
What to Bring
Students will need to bring their lunch and a water bottle. Morning tea will be provided by 秀秀直播. If, however, your child has special dietary requirements, then we advise that they bring their own morning tea. Students will not be able to access the College canteen.
Report Information
To assist us in planning for the academic needs of our students, we ask the parents of incoming Year 7 students to provide the College with a photocopy of the Year 5 NAPLAN report and the Year 5 2019 Semester 2 and Year 6 Semester 1 school report. These reports can be handed in on Orientation Day when the students first arrive at the College.
Please place these reports in a sealed envelope with the following information on the front and place in the boxes provided in the Exam Centre upon arrival.
Problems Attending the Day
If your child is unable to attend the Orientation Day, please inform Mrs Flora Hughes, College Registrar, via email registrar@newman.wa.edu.au An alternate testing day will take place during normal school hours in 2021.
The 2020 PK-12 College Arts Festival 鈥淥ne Wild and Precious life鈥� opens on Sunday October 25 with Divergence the Dance Showcase held in the Marist Auditorium. This is a ticketed event, due to COVID restrictions. Please book tickets through the College Website.
The Festival continues with the Marian Student Art Exhibition opening on Tuesday 27 September, and Lavalla and Marcellin Student Exhibitions opening on Wednesday 28 October.
The Student Exhibitions will include a stunning display of student visual art and design work exhibited on the walls in the Marist Auditorium foyers, and in studio spaces. A craft installation activity, games and sausage sizzle will be run on the oval, hosted by our Student leaders for 2021, and supported by our hard working Arts Team and Festival Committee. Music performances also will be running through each event, featuring music students from respective campuses.
We invite our PK-12 families to attend their respective events this year as we work to celebrate our creative and Performing Arts programs as part of our 2020 Arts Festival, within social distancing guidelines.
This event would not be possible without the support from our entire PK-12 College community, we are in need of a number of parent volunteers to assist in the following roles.
Hanging of the Student Art (Marist Auditorium)
We require 3鈥�6 volunteers each day to assist the Art Teachers. We understand it may be difficult to commit to a full day, so 2鈥�3 hours would be fantastic.
