On Monday 9 September, 75 members of our community enjoyed working with 2019 Artist in Residence Andy Quilty at the Community Workshop. The workshop was divided into two sessions; Session 1 exploring new drawing processes and experimental techniques. Session 2 monoprinting using a range of different tools allowing the participants to become active print makers.
Andy encouraged everyone to be free and take risks in their own art journey
Congratulations to all our Year 3-6 students on a competitive day of athletics. It was very successful carnival with students engaged all day in track and field events as well as novelty events and ball games. Students showcased their athletic skills and celebrated the achievements of their team.
This year saw the introduction of the Flag Relay which proved a highlight for many. We were lucky enough to see the Year 3 girls triple jump record being broken by 4 students. Annabelle Lynch set the new record with an extremely impressive jump of 6.71m. The Year 6 boys relay was run in a record time of 1.02.63s by the Delany faction.
Congratulations Brigid for winning the Spirit Shield (captained by Maddy Carroll) and Knox for winning the Carnival Shield (captained by Harrison Warrick).
I wish to extend my thanks to our Physical Education teacher, Mrs Jemma Bulmer, as the planning and organisation that goes into events such as these are substantial. Her commitment and hard work resulted in an exceptionally run carnival. I also thank our administration and teaching staff and our maintenance and grounds staff for their efforts in contributing to the carnival’s success. Furthermore, thank-you to our wonderful and generous parent volunteers who helped throughout the day and to those who attended to encourage our students. Your support is greatly appreciated.

At Marcellin, we are encouraging our students to have a shared responsibility in how we work together each day. While this can be something as simple as how we interact and treat each other, it can also involve how we respect the learning environment we are privileged to have here at 秀秀直播. We have an increasing number of student led groups that are working towards enhancing College life for the benefit of their peers, while our Year 11 student leaders are currently undertaking their Leadership Program in preparation for their nominations for leadership positions in 2020. I am grateful for the high level of participation from our students and wish our Year 11 leaders all the best for the coming weeks.
秀秀直播 Parents is honoured to host Paul Dillon at 秀秀直播. Paul is the Director and founder of DARTA and he is passionate about ensuring that the community has access to accurate and up-to-date alcohol and other drug information.

While normally students conduct themselves in a pleasant and respectful manner, we have unfortunately had an increased amount of damage around the school. While this can take many forms, there are two main types I would like to highlight.
The first is rubbish around the school. While students are normally good with putting away their rubbish, it is a good time to remind each person about keeping our school clean and valuing the facilities we have. The College has a student environmental group who have been encouraging us all to be more mindful with recycling and how we look after our wonderful school facilities.
The second area is the damage that has occurred to our toilet facilities. Unfortunately, we have seen a spike in deliberate damage done to our facilities and this impacts on all students. If students notice any damage, or people not respecting our facilities, they are expected to contact their Leader of Wellbeing so the appropriate action can occur.
We have been making a conscious effort to ensure our students are adhering to the and presenting themselves in a respectful manner. We are pleased with the way the majority of our students conduct themselves each day, and we have also been impressed with the response from students who have been challenged to improve. I would encourage all students from Years 7 to 12 to maintain these high standards throughout the remainder of Semester Two.
In recognising feedback from some students and parents, it is also important that I clarify the uniform standard regarding school shoes. School shoes are to be black leather lace-up, not boot style, sport, skate, suede or platform soles. Any students who are not in compliance should have been notified and given a time period to resolve the issue.
I appreciate the support received from students and parents regarding this matter.
Thursday 12 September is R U OK? Day 鈥� a day when we鈥檙e reminded to ask, 鈥淎re you OK?鈥� and to remember every day of the year to support people who may be struggling with life鈥檚 ups and downs. At 秀秀直播, we know that regular meaningful conversations can make a difference. You do not have to be an expert to ask how someone is going. This year in the build-up to R U OK? day we are shining a light on the times we should be asking our friends and loved ones this important question. We want everyone in our school community to know that if something is up with someone you know, if something is going on in their life or you notice a change in what they鈥檙e doing or saying, it鈥檚 time to trust that gut instinct and ask them 鈥淎re you OK?鈥�
To spread this message, we will be hosting an awareness raising event at the Marcellin Campus on the national day of action Thursday 12 September (Week 8). Yellow cupcakes will be sold at recess, and during lunchtime there will be a sausage sizzle, games and a band in Founders Court. Students are invited to wear yellow accessories on the day to show their support.
R U OK? is a national charity dedicated to inspiring all of us to have regular, meaningful conversations to support anyone struggling with life. You can learn more about the signs and how to ask R U OK? at
秀秀直播 recognises the challenge and importance of creating resilient, global thinkers; students who are agile, collaborative and embracing of the demands of the 21st Century.

We wish all fathers and father figures in our community a wonderful Father鈥檚 Day for this Sunday.
As a College community, we celebrated the gift of our fathers, grandfathers, uncles and father figures this week. The annual Fathers Day sausage sizzle and liturgy at the Marian Campus, the Lavalla Prayer Assembly and the weekly 8.10am Community Mass on Thursday were occasions in which we could acknowledge and show our gratitude for the gift of our fathers and father figures in our lives, while remembering and honouring the legacy of those fathers and father figures who have left our lives. As a College family, we remember those in our community who are unable to share this Sunday with their father or father figure.
Currently in its seventeenth year, 秀秀直播鈥檚 Year 11 Remar Blue Caravel are undertaking their annual Solidarity Retreat in the community of Mullewa, Western Australia. In what continues to be one of the significant faith, service and leadership opportunities offered by the College through the , our students will again be connected to Our Lady of Mt Carmel Primary School and Parish, as well as supporting the annual Mullewa Agricultural and Wild Flower shows. How proud we can be of their boundless generosity, commitment to practical service.
The hard work, commitment and contribution that our students make to the community of Mullewa has been acknowledged by the Bishop of Geraldton, Bishop Michael Morrissey.
It is special that students from Year 11 travel to Mullewa. I do hope this year will go well and be a blessing for the students as they travel to Mullewa this week.
I will keep the students in my prayers for safe travel and for a great experience in the Midwest.
God鈥檚 blessings,
Bishop Michael
