Our Matric pupils thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful CSO Mass this morning, which brings the Matrics of Catholic schools together in blessings and praise at the start of this special year in their educational journey. We were grateful for the presence of our chaplain, Fr Emmanuel, and for our altar servers being asked to serve at this special occasion.
Our Ash Wednesday Masses marked the start of the season of Lent today in a special way and it was lovely to have parents joining us. Our Pre-Primary pupils spent time with Mrs Smith and Br Peter in the Chapel to grow in understanding of this meaningful day.
When we sit with your child in our admission interview sessions, one question comes up often: how do we set your child up for long-term success? It starts with building the skills that make good decisions possible.
Your child’s future is shaped by the skills they practise daily. Through active discussion, purposeful collaboration, and the smart use of technology, your child learns how to think clearly, ask better questions, and evaluate information with confidence.
Those critical thinking skills are strengthened from one phase to the next, so your child is not only prepared for exams, but prepared for choices: subject choices, tertiary choices, and the many life choices that sit beyond school.
When your child learns how to think, not just what to remember, your child is better equipped to step into tertiary education and ultimately into work with confidence and direction.
That is what lasting success looks like: strong thinking, good judgement, and the ability to keep learning.
Our Junior School Campout was a fun-filled event, with sporting sessions, glow sticks at night, pizza, treats and times of togetherness for the children and for parents around the fire. Thank you for coming together as a Marist community for the event that the children look forward to each year.
Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at St Joseph’s Marist College.
Today is a reminder that love shows up in the small things: kindness in the classroom, friendship on the playground, and care in the way we look out for one another. Wishing our pupils, families, staff, and wider community a day filled with love, joy, and peace.
Our Senior School pupils showed great spirit and determination both on and off the track at our Inter-house athletics day. Doran won the house spirit award and Leicher were the winners of the races. Well done to all on a fantastic day of sportsmanship and togetherness!
