Examination Timetables             

As we progress through Term 2 are Year 10, 11 and 12 students prepare for their first set of Examinations for the year. Exam timetables are linked below:

Secondary Student Learning Conversations

At the start of Term 2, we welcomed students and families for our Secondary Student Learning Conversations 鈥� a valuable opportunity for students, parents, and teachers to come together in meaningful dialogue around learning and growth.

At the heart of these conversations was student voice and advocacy, with our secondary students taking an active role in reflecting on and discussing their own learning journey. We were proud to see so many students arrive prepared and ready to engage in these important discussions.

We are proud of our students for the maturity and preparation they brought to these conversations and thank our parents for their ongoing commitment to working in partnership with us as we move into Term 2.

Lest We Forget 鈥� 秀秀直播 Anzac Day Service

On Friday 24 April, the 秀秀直播 community gathered to honour the courage, mateship, and sacrifice of the ANZACs 鈥� pausing to remember all Australian and New Zealand men and women who served, suffered, and gave their lives in the great tragedy of war. Among those we remembered were the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers who served alongside their fellow Australians with equal courage and dedication, and whose sacrifice is honoured as part of our shared story.

Grounded in remembrance and reflection, our Anzac Day service invited students to consider the events of 25th April 1915, when Australian and New Zealand troops landed under fire at Gallipoli 鈥� the moment the Anzac tradition was born. From that day forward, the values of courage, resilience, and compassion have defined and inspired generations of Australians.

In the stillness of our commemoration, we were reminded of the immense cost of war and the profound gratitude we owe to all those who have served in defence of freedom and peace 鈥� not only the original Anzacs, but all who have fallen in battle, endured as prisoners of war, or had their lives shaped by conflict.

We commend our students for the thoughtful and respectful way in which they honoured this important occasion.

Marcellin Guild Cross Country Carnival 鈥� A Standout Performance

Last week’s Marcellin Guild Cross Country Carnival proved to be one of the most memorable in recent years, with 秀秀直播’s secondary students delivering an exceptional collective effort.

Participation was a standout feature of the day, with every Year 7 and 8 student completing the course within the cut-off time 鈥� a testament to the dedication and preparation students brought to the event. Across the senior year groups, the overwhelming majority of students also finished within the time, with commitment and guild pride visible from the first step to the final stride.

The standard of competition was equally impressive, with a number of outstanding individual times recorded on the course

Adding to the spirit of the day was the enthusiastic participation of teaching and support staff, whose involvement contributed meaningfully to the carnival atmosphere and set a positive example for students.

In the final results, Camara Guild was recognised with the Spirit Award for their enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the day. Marcellin Guild claimed the overall Championship, placing them in strong contention to replicate last year’s clean sweep of the Guild Carnivals.

The college congratulates all students and staff who participated and looks forward to continued success at the ACC Cross Country Carnival.

Uniform

Thank you to our families for supporting our uniform standards 鈥� the difference in how proudly students wear their uniform has been wonderful to see. The addition of the belt to the trousers, in particular, has made for a very neat appearance.

Please be reminded that all students are required to adhere to the Students who do not meet the College’s uniform expectations will be required to address the issue before attending classes. Full academic uniform is to be worn on all days, unless families have been notified otherwise.

Can I please ask parents to remind their children of the following:

Blazers are a compulsory part of the uniform in Terms 2 and 3. Students must wear their blazer to and from the College, as well as during PCG and Periods 1 and 2. Blazers may also be required for special occasions throughout the year. Blazers must be collected from lockers at the end of lunch and carried with them during Periods 5 and 6. 

State Sporting Representation

Congratulations to the following student for the state achievement in their sport:

• Valentino Giorella, (Year 8) is competing in the Australian Karting Championships.  He came 3^rd in the first round in Coffs Harbour in March and will be competing in Queensland in May.
• Hannah Seaborn (Year 12) has been chosen in the WA AFLW 18 & Under team playing in the National Championships in Perth in June and in Melbourne in July.
• Kaydee van Deventer (Year 10) competed at the Australian Age Nationals Swimming Championships over the April school holidays. She won a bronze medal in the Girls 15 years 50 fly and missed the podium by 0.02 seconds in the Girls 15 years 50 free. She also won a bronze medal as part of the WA State relay team in the Girls 15 to 16 years 4 x 50m free relay.
• Isla Kalebic (Year 9) represented WA at the Australian Youth Women鈥檚 Baseball Championships in Melbourne during the holidays. Her team were undefeated and won the gold medal.
• Gianni Germano (Year 12) has been selected in the School Sports WA 18 & Under Football (Soccer) team to compete in Victoria in July.

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.

Neurodiversity & Harmony Week: 16鈥�22 March 2026

Neurodiversity Celebration Week

This week, 秀秀直播 joined schools and communities around the world in celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week 鈥� a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences, and helps us all understand, value, and celebrate the talents of neurodiverse minds.

This year’s theme, “Working together to create a world that understands it takes all kinds of different minds,” reflects our commitment as a Marist community to welcoming every person and the unique gifts each one brings.

During the week, our secondary students had the opportunity to explore what neurodiversity means through a range of engaging activities in Founders Court. Students took part in Walk in My Shoes, stepping into the experience of others and sharing their reflections on our dedicated reflection wall. They also tackled Unlock the Puzzle 鈥� a dyslexia-style letter scramble challenge designed to give students a firsthand sense of how text can appear differently to neurodiverse readers. Our Memory Madness games rounded out the week with fun, thought-provoking activities exploring how different minds process and retain information.

Harmony Week

Every year, the third week of March invites Australians to pause and reflect on what makes this country truly special. Harmony Week is about more than just celebration. It is a reminder that inclusiveness, respect, and a genuine sense of belonging are values we must actively live out 鈥� not just acknowledge. Every culture represented in our community adds something irreplaceable to who we are as a people.

This week, our students engaged with these ideas in meaningful and age-appropriate ways through our Equip, Guide, and Thrive lessons. Students were invited to explore important topics including racism, microaggression, and diversity within our own community 鈥� not as uncomfortable subjects to shy away from, but as conversations that empower young people to become more aware and courageous members of society. We are proud of the thoughtfulness and maturity our students brought to these discussions.

Harmony Day falls on 21 March, which also coincides with the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It is a powerful reminder that celebrating diversity must go hand in hand with a firm and ongoing commitment to standing against racism in all its forms 鈥� in our classrooms, our corridors, and our wider community.

We encourage our families to continue these conversations at home, celebrating the cultures and stories that make your family unique, and affirming in your children that difference is always something to be embraced.

Year 11 EGT Programs: RAC bstreetsmart

On Wednesday 1 April, Year 11 students will be attending the RAC bstreetsmart event at RAC Arena. This event aims to demonstrate the consequences of distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and informs students on how to reduce risk taking behaviours. Further information has been communicated with families via Consent2Go.

Student Early Departures:

If your child needs to be collected prior to the end of the school day for a scheduled appointment or another approved reason, please ensure that you have contacted the College beforehand. As students do not have their mobile phones on them during the school day to receive reminder messages, it is imperative that they know what time they are to meet you at Student Reception in order to minimise disruptions to classes. Thank you for your support.

Absentees can be contacted via email absenteesecondary@newman.wa.edu.au or on 9204 9445.
