Water Polo Championships

Jo Dunn on 02/11/2018

Last term, both the Senior Boys鈥� and Girls’ Water Polo teams (comprised of students from Years 9 and 10) competed in the School Sports WA Water Polo cup.

The Senior Boys competition was hard with strong teams from all across the metro area. 秀秀直播 had an outstanding day and narrowly missed out on the top position to a very strong John XXIII team. A big congratulations goes to all the players and a massive thank you to 秀秀直播 Water Polo Club for providing our coach.

The Senior Girls competition field was small but consisted of some extremely strong teams. 秀秀直播 went in to the tournament with a great deal of pride and commitment. The girls went undefeated throughout the entire day and finished on top of the ladder. A big thank you to all the players who showed such great school pride, and also to coach Kieran Easden (Year 12) who stepped up as the head coach provided by 秀秀直播 Water Polo Club.

Term 4 Week 4: From the Principal

Jo Dunn on 02/11/2018

One of the key strategic intents of our Vision for Learning Shine Through Discovery – Let you light shine Matt 5:16 is to foster creativity. To love learning and be engaged in the process is fundamental to animating our students鈥� talents, thus enabling creativity to flourish. A recent article in the online magazine Entrepreneur identified a series of guiding principles for future education. These included, but not limited to storytelling, passion, curiosity and experimentation, persistence, technology exposure, empathy, reading, writing and arithmetic and creativity. Every single one of us is creative. It is human nature to be creative – the thing is that we each might have different ways of expressing our creativity. We must encourage kids to discover and to develop their creative outlets early.

To this end it is incumbent on the College to afford these opportunities. An example of this has been the development of the IDEAS lab on Marian campus. This is a space that brings students together enabling them to design, prototype and create. It is a place where we allow students to further explore and enhance what they are learning in the classroom. In 2019 we are entering into a partnership with Republic Polytechnic School in Singapore. The aim here is to provide select students in Years 9 and 10 an opportunity to test their problem-solving skills in an industry-based environment. Supporting this learning immersion will be a new elective course in design thinking and problem-based learning.

These two initiatives are indicative of the intent of our whole Vision. Underpinning its success will be the capacity of teachers to respond to the future. It is important that we seek to create challenging tasks that are matched to student ability and interest, that connect learning to students鈥� strengths, gifts and talents. These opportunities must imbue students with opportunities for critical thinking, problem solving and personal reflection. Commensurate to this intent will be the refurbishment of our learning spaces that will allow greater flexibility and agility for learning. We look forward to the future as a College committed to improvement; moreover, a place that allows creativity to flourish.

Solid Gold

Last week鈥檚 Solid Gold Dance Showcase was a great exemplar of the spirit, energy, creativity and commitment of our students and teachers. The Marist Auditorium was alive with our Dance Troupe that is two years young. The feedback from parents and students was so pleasing to hear and witness. The passion of our students is reflected in the leadership of Ms Stephanie Crothers who is to be commended for her work. to see more photos from the night.

As we move to the final five weeks of Term 4, I would like to emphasise to all students that it is imperative to remain committed and focused on their learning. We at this point pray for Year 12 students as they complete their WACE exams.

A New Way To Learn: Five Guiding Principles For Future Education: A change in how we educate is necessary to realize the radical future we see for the world.

Term 4 Week 4: From the Head of Primary

Jo Dunn on 01/11/2018

As we prepare to welcome new families into our College at our Kindy Orientation later this term, I am reminded how important play-based education is for our young people. As they enter our College community as three or four year old’s, their world is only just beginning. Our play-based environment allows the students to firstly come to understand themselves and their position in their family and their world, secondly it allows them to understand how to interact with others and finally it allows them to explore the world God made. This also allows them to foster a strong imagination, to create new games, to collaborate and to solve problems. Our staff are always implementing learning intentions through this process and we are fortunate to have such dedicated staff offering the best for our students. God Bless.

2019 Class Lists

The teachers are currently working through the placement of students in their classes for 2019. We take this process extremely seriously and we look to best meet the needs of every student. The classroom teachers have a wealth of knowledge of information about each child and is therefore best placed to make these decisions to suit each child鈥檚 academic, social and emotional development. The process is further supported by the Primary School Counsellor, Mrs Caryl Goia, our Psychologist Mrs Denise Bendotti and the Primary Leadership Team. Each child is given the opportunity to nominate who they would like to have in their class and this is used as a guide by their teachers. Please note that all relevant information is taken into consideration.

Gratitude Project 鈥� Wellbeing

I am truly grateful to all our wonderful families who have written emails of thanks and support to the 秀秀直播 staff.

Lost Property

There is a significant amount of lost property at each campus that we are trying to return. Please ensure all items of clothing, including shoes, have your child鈥檚 name on it with a permanent marker.

Term 4 Week 4: From The Deputy Principal, Mission and Catholic Identity

Jo Dunn on 01/11/2018


鈥榃e are already the children of God but what we are to be in the future has not yet been revealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed we shall be like God, because we shall see Go as God really is鈥�.
1 John 3: 1 鈥� 3
All Saints (Thursday 1 November) and All Souls (Friday 2 November)

For me to be a saint means to be myself. – Thomas Merton

All Saints and All Souls, are living proof that God never gives up on us no matter what, God loves us all so much! We are spiritual beings becoming more human. This is sainthood.

During November we reconnect with our loved ones who have gone to God. We keep the 鈥榝aithful departed鈥� in our memory and ask them to keep us in their sight, as they long for or have come to see God as God really is.

鈥楥hrist has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again.鈥� This daily pattern of living, dying and rising 鈥� the ups and downs of our life infused by the Spirit of love 鈥� sweeps us (yes, us!) – up into the life of Christ, the life of his Saints. Thank God every saint has a soul for that soul is God鈥檚 homing device while we work for the Kingdom and enjoy some of heaven here on earth!

Who in my life do I know to be humble?
Who in my life has grieved or mourned and who have comforted them?
Who do I know is kind and gentle?
Who do I know wants to put right the wrongs of others?
Who do I know believes in the unconditional love of God and because of that shows mercy to all?
Who do I know are pure in heart and radiate God鈥檚 goodness?
Who do I know are makers of peace wherever they are?
Who do I know turns the other cheek when they are insulted or ridiculed?
Who do I know, no matter what confronts them in life, knows that God carries them and is always with them?

This is the stuff 鈥榮aints鈥� are made of. These are our living Saints

‘Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven’
~ Matthew 5: 1-12 ~
